6. Installation and Maintenance

Installation Guidelines

• Power Connection: Connect the module to a 100–240 VAC or 24 VDC power supply.
• Input Signal: Connect the flowmeter’s 4–20 mA output to the module’s “Input” terminals.
• Output Signal: Connect the “Output” terminals to a PLC or other control system if feedback is required.
• Wiring: Observe correct polarity (typically red = +24V, black = 0V).

Maintenance Recommendations

• Environment: Keep the installation area dry and free of corrosive gases. Maintain temperatures between 0°C and 50°C.
• Surge Protection: Use power line filters in high‑EMI environments.
• Calibration: Perform calibration every 1–2 years to ensure optimal accuracy.
