• Themagneticowmetershouldbeinstalledaway
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
glandtopreventwaterfromowingin.Installa
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 off in order to
prevent electric shocks.
• When opening the terminal box, wait for more
than 20 minutes after turning off the power.
• Install an external switch or circuit breaker as a
means to turn the power off (capacitance: 15 A,
conforming to EN60947-1 and EN60947-3).
Locate this switch either near the product or in
otherplacesfacilitatingeasyoperation.Afx
a "Power Off Equipment" label to this external
switch or circuit breaker.
