10DS3111A INSTRUCTION MANUAL
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Inspection
All meters are shipped in heavy-duty containers which are specially designed to provide adequate
protection during transit. Because the meter will be operated in conjunction with a signal converter, it
is likely that both instruments will be included in the same shipping container. An itemized list of all
items included in the shipment is attached to the shipping container. Refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the signal converter for operation and maintenance procedures for the converter.
The meter is supplied with a signal converter, a 30-ft length (standard) of interconnection cable and
conduit seals.
Inspect all items included in the shipment immediately for indications of damage which may have
occurred during shipment. All damage claims should be reported to the shipping agent involved
before attempting to install or operate this equipment. If the damage is such that faulty operation is
likely to result, the damage should be brought to the attention of the factory Service Department.
2.2 Meter Handling
During shipment, the meter liner is protected by wood or composition protectors attached to the
meter flanges. These are removed before the meter is installed; leave them in position while moving
the meter to the installation site
To place the meter in the pipeline a sling and hoist may be necessary. Do not pass a rope or wire
sling through the meter; the liner will be damaged if the meter is supported by the liner. Lift the meter
as shown in Figure 2-1.
The meter weights are listed in Figure 2-2.
2.3 Location
The meter is suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. When selecting the installation site,
consideration should be given to the enironmental and process temperature limits, as stated in the
specifications. Consideration should be given to access for servicing the meter. The standard
watertight corrosion-resistant meter enclosure is rated NEMA 4X, watertight, and will withstand rain
and hose down. If flooding is a problem, the optional IEC 529 IP67 flowmeter is rated for accidental
submersion. For added protection, a "tropicalized" version is available which includes electronics
encased in a watertight silicone rubber material and a permanently-installed cable.
Outline dimensions of the meter are given in Figure 2-2. Access for wiring interconnections, cover
removal and servicing should be considered when selecting the installation site.
Outline dimensions of the signal converter are given in the instruction manual supplied with the signal
converter.
The installation site must be provided with a source of power as specified for the signal converter.
The power line should have a disconnect switch, and suitable fuse or circuit breaker as shown on the
applicable interconnection diagram provided in the instruction manual supplied with the Signal
Converter.
