3.2 Step 1: Find location and determine data
Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area
To perform an accurate flow measurement preferably mount the sensor rail at least 10 DN
downstream of a flow disturbance like elbows, valves, headers or pumps. Follow the given
installation recommendations.
CAUTION!
• In order to comply with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC, I/O cables that provide a galvanic
connection to the UFC 300 P should have a maximum total length of 3 meter.
• When not used, put the connector covers of the connectors on the bottom side of the
converter in place. This to prevent improper functioning caused by dust/dirt.
• When the sensor cables are connected while the converter is positioned on a flat surface,
turn the handle fully backwards (towards the housing) in order to prevent excess stress on
the sensor cables.
• In order to keep the battery at an optimum condition the battery should be charged at least
once every 6 months.
• If the main battery is empty for a period longer than one year, the backup battery of the real
time clock may run empty.
• The protection degree of the battery charger / mains adapter is IP 40 / NEMA 1. It should be
protected against moisture entering.
• To prevent damage due to vibrations, do not firmly attach the converter to or place it on top of
a vibrating object.
CAUTION!
Do not start to mount the rails yet! Step 1 is only meant to find a suitable location for a
measurement. The installation itself will be done in Step 3.
