Mounting20 FSM4000 D184B140U024 Mounting4.1 General information on installationThe following points must be observed for the installation:• The flow direction must correspond to the identification if present.• The maximum torque for all flange connections must be complied with.• The devices must be installed without mechanical tension (torsion, bending).• Install flange and wafer units with coplanar counter flanges and use only appropriategaskets.• Use only gaskets made from a compatible material for the fluid and fluid temperature or useonly gasket material compatible with hygienic designs.• Gaskets must not extend into the flow area since possible turbulence could influence thedevice accuracy.• The pipeline may not exert any unallowable forces or torques on the device.• Do not remove the plugs in the cable connectors until you are ready to install the electricalcable.• Make sure the gaskets for the housing cover are seated properly. Carefully seal the cover.Tighten the cover fittings.• Install the separate transmitter at a largely vibration-free location.• Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight. Provide appropriate sun protection asnecessary.4.2 Supports for nominal diameters larger than DN 350Notice - Potential damage to parts!Improper support for the device may result in deformed housing and damage to internalmagnet coils.Place the supports at the edge of the housing (see arrows in the figure).Devices with a nominal diameter larger than DN 350 must be mounted with support on asufficiently strong foundation.G00462Fig. 10: Support for nominal diameters larger than DN 350
