INFORMATION!Inspect the cartons carefully for damage or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.

INFORMATION!Check the packing list to check if you received completely all that you ordered.


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

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


INSTALLATION 3

17

OPTISONIC 6300


3.4.2 Installation requirements signal converter

Allow 1020 cm / 3.97.9" 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.

3.5 Installation requirements sensor

INFORMATION!For detailed information please also refer to Housing on page 115.

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.


3 INSTALLATION

18

OPTISONIC 6300


3.5.1 Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area

3.5.2 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.

Figure 3-1: Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area

1 Min. 10 DN2 Min. 5 DN3 OK, 120

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.

Figure 3-2: Long horizontal pipes


INSTALLATION 3

19

OPTISONIC 6300


3.5.3 Open feed or discharge

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

3.5.4 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.

3.5.5 Position of control valve

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

X9.7: Confirm or adjust the reading with the actual distance on the rail. X9.8: Optimization loop. Repeat steps X9.8.1...X9.8.5 until the advised mounting distance does

not change more than 0.5%. X9.8.1: Optimise distance? X9.8.2: Read the velocity of sound of the fluid X9.8.3: Continue? X9.8.4: Confirm or adjust the velocity of sound X9.8.5: Read the advised mounting distance and reposition the transducer X9.9: Read the preliminary volume flow X9.10: Path ready? Enter "Yes". If you have:

1 path or pipe: you are finished, proceed with X9.122 paths: go to X9 for the 2nd path2 pipes: go to X10 for the 2nd pipe

X9.12: End Installation? If you enter "No" the installation is not saved, go to X9. If you enter "Yes" the installation is saved and the measurement screen will appear.

Mount the cover (see section "mounting the cover" in chapter "General mechanical installation")
