User Manual INSTALLATION THE METER SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 300° F (149° C), OR BELOW –150° F (–101° C) OR THE FREEZING POINT OF THE METERED LIQUID. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DAMAGE THE MAGNETIC PICKUP, WHILE LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL LIMIT THE ROTATION OF THE ROTOR. INCOMPATIBLE FLUIDS COULD DETERIORATE INTERNAL PARTS AND CAUSE THE METER TO READ INACCURATELY.
