1.6 Pre-installation requirements

INFORMATION!

To assure a quick, safe and uncomplicated installation, we kindly request you to make provisions
as stated below.

1.6.1 Environmental requirements

• Pollution degree 2

• Protection class I

• Humidity: 5...80 % RH

• Temperature: –40…+60°C / -40…+140°F operating and –50…+70°C / -58…+158°F storage

• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use and certified for operating up to an altitude of

2000 m / 6562 ft

• IP class 66/67

CAUTION!

The device should be protected from corrosive chemicals or gases and dust / particles
accumulation.

OPTISONIC 6300

1.6.2 Installation requirements signal converter

• Allow 10…20 cm / 3.9…7.9" of space at the sides and rear of the signal converter to permit

free air circulation.

• Protect signal converter against direct solar radiation, install a sunshield if necessary.

• Signal converters installed in switchgear cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or

heat exchanger.

• Do not expose the signal converter to intense vibration.

1.7 Installation requirements sensor

INFORMATION!

To avoid measuring errors and malfunctioning of the flowmeter due to gas or air inclusions or an
empty pipe, please observe the following precautions.

CAUTION!

Since gas will collect at the highest point of a pipe, installation of the flowmeter at that location
should be avoided at all times. Also installation in a down going pipe should be avoided since a
completely filled pipe may not be guaranteed due to cascading effects. Additionally flow profile
distortion is possible.

CAUTION!

If you program the diameter, please note that you use the outer diameter of the pipe.

INSTALLATION 1

CAUTION!

Especially for XT (eXtended Temperature) versions:

•

Always install the sensor at a non-insulated part of the pipe. Remove any insulation if
necessary!

•

Bend radius of cable plus connection box needs 10 cm / 4" additional non insulated pipe
section.

•

Always wear protections gloves.

1.7.2 Long horizontal pipes

• Install on slightly ascending pipe section.

• If not possible, ensure adequate velocity to prevent air, gas or vapor from collecting in upper

part.

• In partially filled pipes, the clamp-on flowmeter will report incorrect flow rates, or not
measure.

1.7.3 Open feed or discharge

Install meter on a lowered section of the pipe to ensure a full pipe condition through the meter.

Figure 1-5: Open feed or discharge

1.7.4 Down going pipeline over 5 m /16 ft length

Install air vent downstream of the flow meter to prevent vacuum. Although this will not harm the
meter, it may cause gases to come out of solution (cavitate) and interfere with proper
measurements.

OPTISONIC 6300

Figure 1-6: Down going pipeline over 5 m /16 ft length

1.7.5 Position of control valve

Always install control valves downstream of flowmeter in order to avoid cavitation or distortion
of flow profile.

Measure the outer diameter of the pipe with a measuring band.
For Z-mode, you must install the DOWN rail at the opposite location at the pipe. There are two
possible ways to find the exact location:

1. FIND THE LOCATION WITH A FIXED REFERENCE POINT

Calculate the half of the outer diameter. Mark this 180° alignment line on the pipe.

INFORMATION!

For large diameters you can use the weight of the metal plates to throw the cable around the
pipe. First release one of the cables in that case!
