Installation note
For ULTRAFLOW® 54 ≤DN 125 (100 m³/h), the black electronics housing must be installed on the side (for horizontal installation). ULTRAFLOW® 54 can be rotated up to ± 45° in relation to the pipe axis. ULTRAFLOW® 54 does not require a straight inlet or outlet section. ULTRAFLOW® 54 must not be exposed to pressure lower than the ambient pressure (vacuum).
For ULTRAFLOW® 54 DN 150 (150 m3/h), it is recommended that the black electronics housing be installed on the side (for horizontal installation) in order to better measure any layer flows. However, ULTRAFLOW® 54 may also be rotated up to ±90° in relation to the pipe axis. ULTRAFLOW® 54 does not require a straight inlet or outlet section. ULTRAFLOW® 54 must not be exposed to pressure lower than the ambient pressure (vacuum).
