2.1 Intended use
OPTICHECK is a portable testing and verification tool for KROHNE electromagnetic flowmeters.
It allows the operator to check the functionality and accuracy of the flowmeter, without the need
to take the meter from the pipeline or interrupting the process. The OPTICHECK operates on the
power supply from tablet/laptop and needs no other power supply.
Faulty installation
For electromagnetic flowmeters to measure accurately both the meter and the converter must
be installed correctly. Measurement errors caused by faulty installation (mechanical and/or
electrical) or minor defects on the sensor, may not be detected by OPTICHECK.
A flowmeter that has been verified by OPTICHECK will measure according to the accuracy values
stated on the factory calibration certificate. Please note that on site verification with OPTICHECK
is not intended to replace a full wet calibration on a calibration rig.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.
DANGER!
OPTICHECK is not Ex certified and must not be used in areas with an explosive atmosphere. Do
not connect OPTICHECK to a flow sensor or a converter if an explosive atmosphere could be
preset. Converters intended for Ex-configurations can only be verified in a safe area.
LEGAL NOTICE!
OPTICHECK is not designed to verify devices used in custody transfer applications. To perform a
verification, the seals of the device have to be broken. There is no approval of OPTICHECK for
these types of applications.
WARNING!
Only use OPTICHECK on converters that are listed as compatible. Using OPTICHECK on meters
that are not compatible may cause damage to the converter or OPTICHECK.
If the device is not used according to the operating conditions (refer to chapter Technical data),
the intended protection could be affected.
