1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Orion Visual Flow electromagnetic flowmeter is a device that permits measuring and reading
on the display the liquid quantity passing through it.
Using a principle of electromagnetic measuring (there are no internal moving mechanical parts)
the flowmeter gives a signal in proportion to the flow of the liquid passing through it; Orion displays
the value of the flowrate calculated according to the impulses generated and the value of the pre-
viously programmed flowmeter constant.
Furthermore Orion can be used as a filling flowmeter; this function enables the setting of the quantity
of liquid with which the tank is to be filled during loading and by using the Pump Stop Kit (optional)
enables loading to be stopped when the set value has been reached.
1.1 Intended use
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for crop spraying applications.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with EN ISO 14982 standard (Electro-
magnetic compatibility - Forestry and farming machines), harmonized with 2004/108/EC
Directive.
The flowmeter must not be used to measure the passage of hydrocarbons, flammable,
explosive or toxic liquids. The flowmeter is not suitable for contact with liquids for human
consumption. Use for sales transactions is not allowed.
2 INSTALLATION
Install the flowmeter at least 20 cm from the elements that could cause turbulence inside the tubes
(valves, bends, constrictions, etc.).
The flowmeter can be installed in a vertical or horizontal position.
