1.2 Transportation Precautions

(1) In order to safeguard against damage during transportation, transport the instrument to the installation

location in the style packaged from our factory if possible.

(2) This instrument is adjusted and inspected as an assembly consisting of the flowmeter, pulse generator

(sensor) and register. It should therefore be handled as an assembly at all times; you should not attempt to
separate the register.

(3) During transit, exercise care not to give impact shocks to the register.

〈Hold like this.〉 〈Don,t hold like this.〉

1.3 Storage Precautions

If the instrument is to be stored over an extended period of time before installation, it could be involved in unex­pected happenings. So if an extended period of storage is anticipated, the following precautions should be taken:
(1) The instrument should be stored in the style packaged in our factory if circumstances permit.
(2) Select a storage location that meets the following reguirements:

＊ where it is free from rain and water.
＊ where vibration and impact shocks are least encountered.
＊ where temperature and humidity in the storage location are as near to the room temperature and humidity 

 (25℃ and 65% or so).

(3) If you store the instrument which has been placed in service for any length of time, it should be purged with

clean air or N2 gas, etc. to keep the metered material from adhering to the flowmeter couplings, pipeline,
housing, etc.

(4) Use caution to keep the register away from thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents.

Do not attempt to disassemble the register and modify in any way.
(We cannot guarantee performance of modified Flowpet. )

1.4Installation Location Precautions

(1) In this register, a magnetic sensor is used to pick up magnetic fields of signaling magnets embedded in the

rotor. For this reason, the instrument should be installed sufficiently away from sources generating magnetic
field. If a magnetic valve 10 watts or so is used, separate it at least 10 centimeters from the flowmeter
(depending on operating conditions).

(2) Application in cold regions
To prevent the meter from freezing, install it indoors (in the boiler room, for example).

① A vertical run is recommended for ease of pipeline drainage. Provide a drain plug. (See pipeline drawing

on pages 18 and 19.)

② Lagging is necessary. The register, strainer cover and drain plug should not be lagged, however. Take into

consideration simple and ready separation of the meter from the piping assembly.

(3) This register operates at temperatures between

− 10 to ＋ 60゜C. If exposure to elevated tempera-tures is expected by the direct rays of the sun, reflected

heat, etc., protect the register against heat with a sunshade or heat shield to ensure its operation within the
specified temperature range.

(4) This register is designed for indoor use: install in a location free form rainwater, oil, sunlight.
If exposure to rainwater is unavoidable, provide an appropriate rain guard or sunshade.

2. OPERATING CONDITIONS

To derive the high accuracy and long life from this meter, it is necessary that the meter be used within the
specified conditions in flowrate, pressure, temperature and viscosity. These operating conditions are stated on
the nameplate of flowmeter,s register and in the general specifications in Section 12 of this instruction manual.
Familiarize yourself thoroughly with these instructions before installation and operation.

CAUTION

Under the Measurement Law, this instrument is not serviceable for cer tifying and
authenticating legal transactions.

4. PIPING

4.1 Piping Precautions

（1）Install the meter, exercising care to avoid pipe strains.
（2）The meter should be installed downstream of the pump.
（3）Provide a strainer upstream of the meter.

(NOTE)The strainer net used is 80 mesh for nominal size 20mm and 60 mesh for sizes 25 through 50mm.

（4）Install the pump taking into consideration the pressure loss of the entirre piping system. In case where the

material is allowed to flow by means of a head instead of using a pump, a pressure (head) greater than the
pressure loss of the piping system, flowmeter, strainer, etc. should be given.

（5）To prevent inductive interferences, please be sure to connect to the earth ground for instrumentation one of

the four mounting bolts securing the register with the flowmeter body, instead of the ground terminal.

4.2 Flushing the Piping Assembly

Be sure to remove the meter from the piping assembly and intall a short pipe section in place of the meter.

Flushing the piping assembly with the meter in place will result in serious, costly damage to the meter’s
measuring chamber.

4.3 Lagging Work Precautions

(1) Be sure to inspect for liquid leaks before covering with lagging.
(2) Take into consideration simple and readily disassembly and
inspection for the lagging of the meter.
(3) Strainer should be lagged for quick top cover removal.
Strainer net should be cleaned on a regular basis.
(4) Register and pulse generator must not be lagged. If they
are lagged, temperature will rise to an excessive level and
result in costly damage (see figure on the right).
(5) Heat insulation should not cover up the front cover register
seat.
(6) In applying heat insulation, take into account the ease of
removal and disassembly.
