SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Intended use
Magnetic flow meters (MD) are precision measuring instruments and suitable for the linear
flow measurement of almost all electrically conductive liquids. Due to the magnetic field,
they can be used for flow velocities of up to 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) and where there is a mini
-
mum conductivity of 20 μS/cm when using a synchronized static field.
Proper use in accordance with the VdS guidelines does not permit this magnetic flow sen
-
sor (MD) to be used to regulate the process.
The complete measuring system consists of a flow sensor and its associated transducer.
Warning!
The operator of these measuring devices is solely responsible for the suit-
ability, intended use and corrosion resistance of the selected materials. In
particular. it must be ensured that the materials selected for the wetted
parts of the flow meter are suitable for the process media to be measured.
The meter must not be exposed to external loads. These flow meters are
primarily designed for static applications.
Hot process media can lead to hot surfaces! There is a risk of burns where
the surface temperatures are above +70 °C.
Suitable protective measures should be taken, e.g. protection to prevent
contact.
The contact protection must be designed such that the maximum ambient
temperature around the equipment is not exceeded.
The equipment may only be operated within the pressure and voltage limits stated on the
nameplate. Before replacing the equipment, it is essential to check that the flow meter is
free of hazardous media and pressure.
