3.1 Installation for cooling metering

When installing as a cooling meter it is essential that the black
cover on the measuring tube is pointed to the side or down-
wards in order to avoid problems with condensation forming.
Fig. 1: Installation with a ball valve (recommended up to and including DN25) Fit the immersion sleeves so that the temperature sensor is
positioned vertically downwards or horizontally.

unit, e.g. on the wall. Make a loop downwards in order to pre-
vent condensation running along the connected lines into the
electronic unit.

3.2 Installation of qp 150

Note: Use flange bolts with a length of at least 100 mm

to install the flanged body in the pipeline.
Fig. 2: Installation with pockets (recommended greater than or equal to DN25) As an assembly aid 2 M8 threads are mounted on the flange.
The threads allow the use of stainless-steel eye bolts, for ex-
ample, for a lifting device.
The measurement insert in the flanged body should be posi-
tioned on the top. This allows a simple exchange of the meas-
urement insert (see chapter 6).
