GROUNDING PROCEDURE
ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE PIPELINE
(Liquid in Electrical Contact With Pipeline)
FOR OPTIMUM SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
the flowmeter body and electrically conductive pip-
ing must be connected to a good earth ground.
•
Although
grounding
straps
are not actually
packed within the In-
stallation Kit, they are
attached to the Mag-
netic Flowmeter.
Proper use of these
straps is mandatory for
satisfactory operation.
