The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar with
these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations applying to
Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EC-machine guidelines.
3. Instrument Inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of the
delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.
Scope of delivery:
The standard delivery includes:
 Manifold valves for multiple installation for liquids model: USR
4. Regulation Use
Any use of the device, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification, may
invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of
the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.

5. Operating Principle
The flowmeters model USR for liquids operate on the variable area flowmeters
principle, which means that the installation position is vertical and the direction of
flow is from bottom to top. The instruments have been designed as simple and thus
economical measuring systems. The float for USR is a bomb form float, whereby
the indication point is the top of the float. The appliance is available with valve. For
centralized flow measurement, for example in cooling systems, we recommend the
manifold flowmeters for multiple installation. Up to 24 flowmeters can be assembled
in a block provided that maximum flow rate in each unit does not exceed 10 l/min.
The ranges and outlet connections of each unit in such a block can be determined
separately.
6. Mechanical Connection
Before Installation:
 Remove all transportation safety locks and ensure that no packing material
remains within the unit.
 Be sure that the maximum allowable operating pressure and temperature is
not exceeded (see Technical data).
 Install the flow meter in the piping system, ensure the instrument is under
no mechanical stress/tension (install support bracing if necessary).
 Protect the measuring tube from external damage.
 Avoid pressure peaks in the measuring tube, e.g. from sudden surges or
stoppage of flow.
 If possible, immediately after making mechanical connections, check
whether the connections are properly sealed with no evidence of leakage
7. Maintenance
If the medium to be measured is clean, the series USR is virtually maintenance-
free. If deposits form on the inner housing or parts, periodic cleaning of the unit
is recommended. Remove the units from the piping with a suitable tool; clean the
flow meter with a suitable cleaning agent or make use of an ultrasonic bath.

Batteries
Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a sign consisting of a crossed-out
garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg, Li or Pb) of the heavy metal that
is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants:
Cd1 Hg2 Pb3 Li4
1. „Cd" stands for cadmium
2. „Hg" stands for mercury
3. „Pb" stands for lead
4. „Li" stands for lithium
