USER MANUAL
LEVIFLOW® Integrated Flowmeter: LFIF-06 (10 l/min)
This manual contains information necessary for the safe and proper use of the LEVIFLOW® LFS flowmeter series.
Included are specifications for the standard configuration, components, and instructions regarding its use, installation,
operation, adjustment, inspection and maintenance. For special configuration of the LEVIFLOW® flowmeters refer to
accompanying information. If the flowmeters have to be configured for other parameter settings then the LEVIFLOW®
Configuration Software (see relevant manual Levitronix Doc.# PL-4501-00) is necessary. Please familiarize yourself
with the contents of this manual to ensure the safe and effective use of this product. After reading, please store the
manual where the personnel responsible for operating can readily refer to it at any time.

1 Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances open the flowmeter housing.
Levitronix does not assume responsibility for any damage, which
occurs under such circumstances.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage may be present.
In case of the usage of an inadequate AC/DC power supply, mains
voltages may be present (even if the system is designed for 24VDC).
Do not under any circumstances open the powered converter.
The usage of galvanic separated 3rd party tested (like CE and/or UL)
AC/DC supply is highly recommended.
WARNING
Toxic chemicals may be present.
When using the flowmeter to measure chemicals skin contact and toxic
gases may be hazardous to your health. Wear safety gloves and other
appropriate safety equipment.
