３. Installation procedure
１．Precautions on place of installation
Select a place satisfying the following conditions for installing this flow meter:
（１）Place subject to little vibrations.
（２）Place protected against rain and dew.
（３）Place with little dust.
（４）Place with little moisture.
（５）Place with little corrosive gas.
（６）Place not subject to any violent fluid pulsations.
（７）Place with little electromagnetic noise.
（８）Place easy to inspect.
（９）Place protected against direct sunshine.
（１０）Batch pumps such as plunger type, diaphragm type, etc. are liable to produce pulsations in the fluid,
eventually leading to damage to rotor or instrumental error. Install an air chamber or accumulator to
eliminate pulsations completely.

２．Precautions to take before installation

Flushing: Before installing the flow meter, completely remove dust, welding refuse, etc. produced with piping
work.

３．Precautions to take at start of operation

At the start of operation, the air in the piping is discharged at high speed. Open the valve slowly to avoid
damage due to high-speed operation to the rotor inside.

４．Piping procedure
（１）Install the piping in a way not to apply any piping pressure to the flow meter.
（２）Install on the outlet side of the pump.
（３）Be sure to provide a strainer for this flow meter. The strainer shall be installed on the upstream side of the
flow meter as close to the flow meter as possible.
Clean the strainer element (net) regularly. If there is a lot of dust in the fluid, provide a supplementary
strainer of coarse mesh on the upstream side.
（４）Fit the arrow mark given on the lateral face of the flow meter to the direction of inflow of the fluid.
（５）When using the flow meter at a tank head, give a head larger than the pressure loss of the flow meter.
（６）When using a liquid packing, etc., take care to prevent the liquid packing, etc. from protruding into the pipe.
（７）Install in the specified posture.
（８）Do not wind any insulating material around the cooling fin of the flow meter equipped with cooling fins.
（９）Change of direction of dial plate
（ａ）loosen the dial case tightening nut or bolt.
（ｂ）Turn the dial case by a desired angle (by 90°each time).
（ｃ）Tighten the nut or bolt.
