4.12 Location
To ensure the optimum function of the measuring equipment it is important that the
installation instructions are followed closely.
The flowmeter can be located both indoors and
outdoors, but the following conditions must be
observed:
Liquid temperature
The CMF - A is available in 2 versions.
Standard version: -40 to 257 °F (-40 to +125°C).
High temperature version: -40 to 356°F (-40 to +180°C).
For the high temperature version the multiple plug is raised from the sensor housing by a pipe.
It is possible to insulate the sensor and still having access to the plug.
Important
When the temperature difference between a liquid and the surroundings is large, the sensor must
be insulated to prevent 2-phase flow and the loss of measuring accuracy. This applies especially
in the case of low flow.
The sensor must always be completely filled with a homogeneous liquid or gas in single phase,
otherwise measuring errors will occur.
If there is air/gas in the liquid or liquids which are volatile, horizontal sensor mounting is
recommended.
4.13 Mounting The mounting bracket supplied with the unit must always be used. The bracket must be mounted
on a wall or steel frame which is vibration free and mechanically stable.
