WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

2.4 Sensor Installation Procedure
Pre-Installation Check List
All Sensors are assembled with the final transducers and are mated to the selected
transmitter electronics prior to delivery. The transmitter is pre-programmed with the
installation parameters specific to this Sensor, therefore the installer should verify that the
transmitter serial number matches the transmitter serial number indicated on the Sensor
nameplate.
Perform the following checklist before installing the Sensor into the line:
1. Verify that the line operating conditions (flow velocity, pressure, temperature range) and
line MAOP are within the limits specified for the flowmeter.
2. Verify that the transmitter electronics is paired with the serial number listed on the Sensor
nameplate.

2.4 Sensor Installation Procedure
FUT1010 IP65 NEMA 4X & IP66 NEMA 7 Gas Quick Start
Operating Instructions, 1/2013, A5E02639183-AC 17
3. Check the condition of any pressure taps or Thermowell ports that may be provided with
the Sensor. Install block valves, Thermowell, or plugs as necessary.
WARNING
Sensor Failure
Sensor ports that are not properly sealed create the potential for injury.
User is responsible for ensuring that all Sensor ports are properly sealed.
4. User must verify that fluid is compatible with construction of Sensor material.
WARNING
Misuse of Equipment
It is the responsibility of the user to account for any potential confusion or misuse of gas
equipment with liquid equipment or visa versa.
Restrict use and repair to qualified personnel.
WARNING
Chemical Compatibility
If chemical compatibility of materials is ignored the potential for injury exists.
Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or inertness)
for general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check with chemical
compatibility charts before installing.
WARNING
Sensor Failure
Sensors have been designed to account for loads to internal pressures in accordance
with ASME codes. If ignored the potential for injury exists.
It is the responsibility of the user to access and account for other externally applied
loads due to earthquakes, pipe movement and other environmental conditions.
5. It is the responsibility of the user to avoid excessive corrosion, erosion or chemical attack
due to the use of incompatible fluids or severe conditions.

2.4 Sensor Installation Procedure
FUT1010 IP65 NEMA 4X & IP66 NEMA 7 Gas Quick Start
18 Operating Instructions, 1/2013, A5E02639183-AC
Installation Procedure
Sensor is supplied with flanges suitable for handling. Lifting device should be within 10
degrees of vertical of the axis of the lifting eye.
WARNING
Equipment Instability
If incorrect installation equipment is used when installing vertical sensor configurations, the
potential for injury exists.
During vertical sensor installation use appropriate equipment to ensure safety.
WARNING
Flange Failure
Incorrect selection of bolting and gasket materials which will fall within the limits of the
flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service conditions create the
potential for injury.
The user is responsible for the correct selection of bolting and gasket materials which will
fall within the limits of the flange and its intended use and which are suitable for the service
conditions.
WARNING
Pressure Hazard
If repair to the instrument is attempted when it is under pressure, the potential for injury
exists.
Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection or instrument
housing while contents are under pressure. Restrict use and repair to qualified personnel.
Each Sensor is labeled with a flow direction arrow indicating the direction of positive (POS)
FLOW. Although the flowmeter allows bi-directional flow, this arrow simply indicates the
direction of positive flow so that the transducer cables can be installed without confusion.
Install the Sensor into the lines with careful attention to this flow direction arrow and also the
rotational orientation as described below.
WARNING
Sensor Failure
if condensation is not removed from the Sensor before it is installed in the line, the potential
for injury exists.
Remove all condensation from Sensor before installing into line.
Installation of the Sensor should be installed with the lifting eyes at or near the top of the
Sensor (see figure below). Vertical installations have no restrictions since there are no
cavities or Sensor ports to collect condensate and debris.
