2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety instructions
Prior to any work, read the operating instruction carefully and in full.
Failure to comply with the instructions, in particular with the safety instructions, poses a risk to health and can lead to
material damages. For further information, contact FLEXIM.
During installation and operation of the measuring equipment, observe the ambient and installation conditions specified in
the documentation.
Explanation of symbols on the transmitter:
The measuring equipment has to be checked for proper condition and operational safety before each use. If troubles or
damages have occurred during installation or operation of the measuring equipment, please inform FLEXIM.
It is not allowed to make unauthorized modifications or alterations to the measuring equipment.
The personnel has to be suitably trained and experienced for the work.
2.2 Intended use
The measuring equipment is intended for the measurement of fluid properties in closed pipes. By means of connected
transducers, the transit times of the ultrasonic signals in the fluid and the pipe are measured and evaluated.
The transmitter uses these values to calculate the sought quantities, e.g., volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate.
Through comparison with the values stored in the transmitter further physical quantities can be determined. The physical
quantities are provided via configurable outputs and the display.
• All instructions of this operating instruction have to be observed to ensure intended use.
• Any use beyond or other than the intended use is not covered by warranty and can present a danger. Any damage
arising from not intended use shall be solely the liability of the operator or user.
• The measurement is carried out without direct contact to the fluid in the pipe. The flow profile is not influenced.
• The transducers are fixed to the pipe using the supplied transducer mounting fixture.
• If an extension cable is required to connect the transducers to the transmitter, a junction box can be used (optional).
Observe the safety instructions in the operating instruction. For the technical data of the junction box, see technical
specification.
• Observe the operating conditions, e.g., environment, voltage ranges. For the technical data of the transmitter,
transducers and accessories, see technical specification.
