5.1 Transport
The following rules apply when transporting the flow meter:
▶ Observe the transport-related instructions on packaging.
▶ In order to avoid damage, do not unpack the flow meter until it is at the installation
site.
▶ Do not remove protective materials, such as protective stickers or covers from
process connections during transport.
▶ Starting at a weight of 15 kg, have at least two persons and/or use suitable tools
(shoulder straps, lifting device, cart) to lift and transport the flow meter.
WARNING
Risk of injury from slipping or falling flow meter
▶ Ensure that suspension points of the ropes are located above the flow meter's center
of gravity.
▶ Use a lifting device meeting local regulations.
▶ Attach lifting ropes to process connections.
▶ Do not suspend flow meter from transmitter housing, neck of sensor or flange holes.
The lifting ropes must always be attached to the sensor at the process connections (ex-
cept for the Rotamass Nano). The depictions that are crossed out in the figure below
show impermissible attachment types. This applies to the remote type, the remote type
with long neck and the integral type, independent of the design. If the process
connections are others than flanges, the holding ropes must be secured against slipping,
if necessary (for example, for the Rotamass Hygienic).
