2.3 Location

The Flowmeter is suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. When selecting the location of the
installation, consideration should be given to the ambient and process temperature limits, as stated
in the Specifications Sub-Section 1.3.
Several variations of resistance to water-entry are available:
• The Standard meter is rated NEMA 4X (IEC 529 IP65), watertight, and will
withstand periods of rain and hose down.
• If periodic flooding may occur, an optional NEMA 4X (IEC 529 IP67)
accidental submergence Flowmeter is available to withstand submergence
up to 48 hours. These ratings apply to TEFLON-lined meters only after the
meter is properly installed in the pipeline.
• If periodic flooding is expected to keep the meter submerged for periods
longer than 48 hours, an optional continuous submergence NEMA 4X (IEC
529 IP68) configuration is available.
It is recommended that the meter not be installed in the immediate vicinity of electrical conductors
carrying large currents or equipment generating strong magnetic fields.
Access for wiring interconnections and servicing of the integrally mounted Signal Converter should
be considered when installing the meter. A minimum of five inches of overhead clearance is required
for cover removal.
Outline dimensions of the Flowmeter are given in Figures 2-3 through 2-16.
Outline dimensions of the optional remotely mounted Signal Converter are given in the Instruction
Manual supplied with the Signal Converter.
The installation site must be provided with a convenient source of power as specified for the Signal
Converter. The power line should have a disconnect switch and a suitable fuse or circuit breaker as
shown on the applicable interconnection diagram provided in the Instruction Bulletin supplied with the
Signal Converter.
