Import and/or export charges, foreign shipping methods/carriers are paid for by the customer. Short-Form Operation Instruction Before installing your Mass Flow or Pressure Meter/Controller it is important to read the attached label and check: -flow/pressure rate -fluid to be metered -up-and downstream pressures - input/output signal Check the red-coloured sticker and make sure the test pressure is in agreement with normal safety factors for your application. Check if the piping system is clean. For absolute cleanliness always install filters to assure a clean, moisture-and oil-free gas stream. Install the Meter/Controller in the line and tighten the fittings according to the instructions of the supplier of the fittings. Choose the mounting position according to the directions given in this manual. Check the system for leaks before applying fluid pressure In systems with corrosive or reactive fluids, purging with an inert gas is absolute nece
