WARNING
• PurposeofUse
This product is the Magnetic Flowmeter for use of
measuring the liquid ow. Do not use this product
for other purposes.
• ConnecttheProtectiveGroundingTerminal
Ensure to connect the protective grounding to
prevent electric shock before turning on the power.

ow rate indication.
• DoNotOperatewithDefectiveProtective
Grounding
Do not operate the product if the protective
grounding might be defective. Also, ensure to check
them before operation.

ammable gas, vapors, or combustible dust. Operate
the product comply to appropriate explosion-proof
certicate in the presence of ammable gas or
combustible dust. Prolonged use in a highly dense
corrosive gas (H
2
S, SO
X
, etc.) will cause a malfunction.
• DoNotRemovetheSafetyCover

WARNING
• DamagetotheProtection
Operating the product in a manner neither
described in this manual nor the applicable manuals
listed in the front page may damage the product’s
protection.
• Installation,Wiring,andMaintenance
• The magnetic owmeter is a heavy product. Be
careful that no damage is caused personnel
through accidentally dropping it, or by exerting
excessive force on the magnetic owmeter. When
moving the magnetic owmeter, always use a
trolley and have at least two people carry it.
•
When the magnetic owmeter is processing hot
uids, the product itself may become extremely
hot. Take sucient care not to get burnt.
• Where the uid being processed is a toxic
substance, avoid contact with the uid and avoid
inhaling any residual gas, even after the product
has been taken o the piping line for maintenance
and so forth.
•
Do not apply excessive weight, for example, a
person stepping on the magnetic owmeter.
• Installation, wiring and maintenance of the
magnetic owmeter must be performed by expert
engineer or skilled personnel. No operator shall
be permitted to perform procedures relating to
installation, wiring and maintenance.
• The magnetic owmeter must be installed within
the specication conditions.
• The magnetic owmeter should be installed away
from electrical motors, transformers, and other
power sources in order to avoid interference with
measurement.
• In cases where the ambient temperature exceeds
50°C, use external heat resistant wiring with a
maximum allowable temperature of 70°C or more.
• When wiring the conduits, pass the conduit
through the cable entry, and utilize the waterproof
gland to prevent water from owing in. Install a
drain valve at the low end of the vertical pipe, and
open the valve regularly.
• When opening and closing the cover, be sure
to handle the cover carefully so that there are
no damage and foreign matter adhesion at its
threads and O-ring.
• Do not open the cover in wet weather or humid
environment. When the cover is open, stated
enclosure protection is not applicable.
• Do not connect cables outdoors in wet weather
in order to prevent condensation and to protect
the insulation, e.g. inside the terminal box of the
owmeter.
• Ensure that the power supply is o in order to
prevent electric shocks.
• When opening the terminal box, wait for more
than 20 minutes after turning o the power.
• Install an external switch or circuit breaker as
a means to turn the power o (capacitance:
15 A, conforming to IEC60947-1, IEC60947-2
and IEC60947-3). Locate this switch either near
the product or in other places facilitating easy
operation. Ax a "Power O Equipment" label to
this external switch or circuit breaker.
