# 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>
