Important basic information
Dear customer, dear user,
These installation and operating instructions should provide you with the information you need to properly install and commission
the ow meter. The installation, commissioning and testing are to be performed by trained and qualied personnel only. These ope-
rating instructions must be read and applied carefully to ensure proper, trouble-free and safe operation of the ow meter. VSE is not
liable for any damage incurred resulting from not complying with the instructions in this operating instruction. It is not permitted in
any case to open the device.
These operating instructions for the ow meters of the series VSI High Denition Flow Meterfrom VSE must be stored, so that
they can be read by the group of authorized personnel at any time. Chapters may not be taken of these instructions at any time. A
missing operating instructions manual or missing pages must be replaced immediately. VSE can supply you with new instructions or
you can download the operating instructions from the internet (www.vse-ow.com). The operating instructions must be given to each
subsequent user of this product.

Important:
Make sure that the specied maximum permitted operating pressure of the ow meter
cannot be exceeded, whatever the operating mode of the system. Note the ow meter
range that is dependent on the viscosity of the uid to be measured.
Important:
Make sure that the ow meter is always completely lled both in inow and outow
and that the outow has a little back pressure. This prevents the meter being damaged by
a sudden and steep increase of ow and at the same time improves measurement accuracy.

Important:
Please ush out the pipe lines and the tank thoroughly, to prevent contamination
within the ow meter.
Important:
When mounting the ow meter, you must take great care that the seals are not damaged and
correctly placed in the hydraulic connections of the ow meter. Wrongly installed or dama-
ged seals lead to leakage and to a leaky system, which may have dire consequences.
Please make sure that ow meters with EPDM seals do not come into contact with oil and
greases on a mineral oil basis. These uids can decompose the seals.
The yellow plastic plugs in the hydraulic connections of the ow meter protect the meter
against dirt and contamination during storage and shipping. Before mounting the ow meter
you have to remove these plugs so that in- and outow is free and open.

Important:
A blocking ow meter can stop the whole ow. You have to provide a control
valve / bypass for the system.

Important:
Test the connected evaluation electronic system as to whether it can process the maximum
frequency f

of the ow meter. Check the data from the following table for the relevant
ow meter, or calculate the maximum frequency data f

• Plug assignment of preamplier
Important:
Only use well-shielded cables for the connection cable, with a wire cross section of
≥ 4 or 5 x 0.25 mm
2
. Please make sure that the housing of the round plug is metallic, that it
has a connection for the shielding and that the potential of the earth conductor PE is
connected with the cable shielding and the housing of the preamplier.
Important:
Please make sure that no extra inductive elements are connected in the power supply of the
ow meter, such as contactors, relays, valves etc.
These components are potential sources of interference (especially if the inductive elements
are not provided with an adequate protective circuit), generate high interference pulses,
when switched and can interfere with the functioning of the ow meter, although this
complies with the electromagnetic compatibility directives.
Working life is dependent on operating conditions and thus the specic properties of the
devices, limited through wear, corrosion, deposits or age. The operator is responsible for
regular control, maintenance and recalibration. Any indication of a malfunction or damage
prohibits any further use. On request, we can supply you with a borrowed device for the
duration of repair or overhauling. We advice to a yearly control and recalibration.
