1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Orion electromagnetic flowmeter is a device that enables measurement of the quantity of liquid
passing through it.
Using a principle of electromagnetic measurement (there are no moving mechanical parts inside
it), the flowmeter outputs a signal to the computer proportional to the liquid flow that goes trough
it; Orion displays the flowrate calculated according to the data received from the flowmeter and the
value of the flowmeter constant previously set.
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 horizontal or vertical position.
CAUTION:
For proper sealing of the flowmeter, use ARAG assembly kit ONLY (Ref. ARAG General
catalogue - Accessories for series 463/473 modular valves).
ARAG is not liable for damage to the system, persons, animals or things caused by the use
of material other than specified.
