1 General Safety Information, Regulated Operation
1.1 Basic Safety Information
1.1.1 Instrument Safety Standards
• This instrument satisfies the safety requirements defined in the Pressure Equipment Directive and is
designed using the latest state of the art technology. It was tested at the factory, based on the safety
requirements, and shipped in proper working order. In order to maintain this condition over the
expected life of the instrument the requirements described in this Operating Instruction must be
observed.
• Please observe the special information for starting-up the instrument for the explosion protected
design. It may be found in Chapter 7 of this Operating Instruction.
• The instrument satisfies the EMC-Requirements per EN61326 / NAMUR NE21 and the Low Voltage
Directive .
• A housing option for the Coriolis Mass Flowmeter with protection against fluid exiting the housing is
available for meter sizes up to DN100 [4”] and a maximum operating pressure in the flowmeter primary
of PS = 40 bar (for a burst pressure of the housing of PS > 60 bar). This protective design does not fall
within the applicability range of the Pressure Equipment Directive.
• When a supply power outage occurs the instrument parameters are stored in a FRAM (including the lat-
est totalizer value). When the supply power is restored, the instrument is immediately operational.
1.1.2 Regulated Usage
This instrument is designed to
• convey liquids and gases (including unstable gases)
• meter the mass flow of the fluid directly
• meter the volume flow (indirectly from the mass flow and the density) of the fluid
• measure the fluid density
• measure the fluid temperature
Included in the Regulated Usage requirements are:
• installations compatible with the specified limits
• observing and following the information relative to allowable fluids
• observing and following the information in the Operating Instruction
• observing and following the information in the accompanying documents (Data Sheet, Diagrams,
Dimension Drawings)
The following uses of the instrument are prohibited:
• installation as an elastic compensation piece in a pipeline, e.g. for compensating pipeline misalignment,
pipeline vibrations, pipeline expansions, etc.,
• use as a step ladder, e.g. for assembly purposes,
• use as a support for external loads, e.g. as a support for pipelines etc.,
• removing material by drilling into the housing or by adding materials such as paint (covering the Name
or Factory Plates), welding or soldering.
• repairs, modifications and additions and the use of replacement parts are only permitted as described in
this Operating Instruction. Excepted are repairs carried out by ABB authorized facilities. Additional tasks
must be approved by ABB. We accept no liability for unauthorized tasks.
The operation, service and maintenance requirements in this Operating Instruction must be observed. The
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage resulting from improper or prohibited use.
