# Install and set-up

## Notices before installing

Confirm the version of the instruction manual, hardware, and firmware. [Go to version page to check.](/qr/fp-as510-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/this-instruction-manual-version-is-v1.0.md)

* Make sure that the installation environment meets the standard for flow volume monitoring. There should be a certain distance in front and after the location of the installed flowmeter. The proper position for the flowmeter should be face up horizontally or vertically depending on the flow direction.
* Confirm temperature and chemical resistance, and the size of pipes.
* Ingredients in chemicals and operating temperatures will differ according to industry. Before purchasing the flowmeter, please confirm these specifications to avoid any damage to the flowmeter.
* Please avoid measuring fluids with magnetic particles which may cause LORRIC’s paddle wheel flowmeter to work improperly. The reason being, is the paddlewheel uses magnetic flow sensor technology. In addition, we suggest placing it at a distance from equipment which may generate a strong magnetic field, like motors and electromagnetic valves.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lorric.com/qr/fp-as510-paddle-wheel-flowmeter-manual-en-v1/install-and-set-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
