Installation Overview
azbil’s AX2000Series Vortex Flow Meter installations are simple and
straightforward. Both the AX2200 In-Line and AX2300 Insertion type
flow meter installations are covered in this chapter. After reviewing the
installation requirements given below, see page 2-3 for AX2200 installa-
tion instructions. See page 2-6 for AX2300 installation instructions. Wir-

Flow Meter Installation Requirements
Before installing the flow meter, verify the installation site allows for
these considerations:
1. Line pressure and temperature will not exceed the flow meter
rating.
2. The location meets the required minimum number of pipe di-
ameters upstream and downstream of the sensor head as illus-
trated in Figure 2-1.
3. Safe and convenient access with adequate overhead clear-
ance for maintenance purposes.
4. Verify that the cable entry into the instrument meets the
specific standard required for hazardous area installations.
5. For remote installations, verify the supplied cable length is
sufficient to connect the flow meter sensor to the remote
electronics.
Also, before installation check your flow system for anomalies such as:
leaks
valves or restrictions in the flow path that could create disturb-
ances in the flow profile that might cause unexpected flow rate in-
dications
Warning!
Consult the flow meter nameplate for
specific flow meter approvals before any
hazardous location installation.
