Installer is responsible for providing suitable fl anges and fasteners to connect the meter to the 

 

process piping. In addition, most installations will also require one reducer, one expander, pipe 

 

supports and a suffi cient length of straight pipe (pipe diameter = meter size) to meet the installation 

 

requirements outlined in this manual. Use of an optional fl ow rectifi er may be required in cases 

 

where the available space is not suffi cient to allow for proper upstream straight pipe run. 

 

ONICON F-2000 series vortex fl ow meters are designed for use in industrial environments that are 

 

free of corrosive liquids, fumes and excessive vibration. Do not expose the fl ow meter electronics 

 

enclosure to direct sunlight. Install a sunshade if necessary. Do not expose the fl ow meter to intense 

 

vibration. If necessary, provide additional support to the pipeline, at the meter location, to minimize 

 

vibration. The rotating design of the electronics enclosure makes it easier to connect the power and 

 

signal cables to the terminals in the rear of the enclosure. Rotate the enclosures as necessary before 

 

installing the meter.  

 

The ambient operating temperature range is 0° to 132° F.  

 

The serial number for your F-2000 series vortex fl ow meter is located on the metal identifi cation 

 

plate mounted on the side of the electronics enclosure. Please have this number available whenever 

 

you contact ONICON for assistance.
