11 

The F-2000 series vortex fl ow meter must be installed by a technician qualifi ed to work with pressurized 
liquid, steam and/or gas fl ow and must conform to all federal, state and local building codes. ONICON will 
be happy to assist with technical recommendations and to provide guidance via telephone or mail. On-site 
engineering, installation and service are also available, at additional cost.

 

Careful attention in locating the point in the piping system where the fl ow meter will be installed 

 

will ensure accurate and reliable operation. When selecting an installation site, consider the criteria

 

contained in Section 1.5 WORKING ENVIRONMENT, as well as the following:

! 

  

The 

fl ow must always be in the direction of the arrow located on the meter body. 

 

 

This will orient the bluff side of the vortex shedder bar so that it faces the incoming 

 

 

fl ow (i.e. the upstream side).  

 

 

For vertical pipe runs, fl ow must always be in the upward direction. Consult the 

 

 

factory in the event that a downward fl owing pipe is the only available location. 

The installation guidelines presented below are minimum requirements for the proper operation of 
this fl ow meter.
