2-1 Receipt of Equipment
When the equipment is received, the outside of the packing case should
be checked for any damage incurred during shipment. If the packing case
is damaged, the local carrier should be notified at once regarding his
liability. Remove the envelope containing the shipping list. Carefully
remove the equipment from the packing case and inspect for any
damaged or missing parts.
In the event that the meter is damaged during shipment, the Product
Service Department, Brooks Instrument, LLC, Hatfield, PA 19440 should
be contacted to obtain a return shipment form.
2-2 Recommended Storage Practice
If intermediate or long term storage is required for equipment, as supplied
by Brooks Instrument, it is recommended that said equipment be stored in
accordance with the following:
a. Within the original shipping container.
b. Stored in a sheltered area, preferably a warm, dry heated warehouse.
c. Ambient temperature 70°F (21.0°C) nominal 110°F maximum/45°F
minimum (43°C maximum/7.1°C minimum).
d. Relative humidity 45% nominal 60% maximum/25% minimum.
Upon removal from storage, a visual inspection should be conducted to

NOTICE
A. Location
For proper operation the Model 1307 must be mounted within 6 degrees of
true vertical, with the inlet connection at the bottom and the outlet at the
top. The use of a level is recommended to assure vertical positioning.
Piping must be adequately supported to prevent undue strain on the
flowmeter.
B. Piping Arrangement
It is recommended that bypass piping be installed around the flowmeter so
it may be isolated from the process line for servicing and cleaning. Refer to
Figure 2-1 for a typical installation.
