Special connection conditions
Note
The AS plug-in card (24 V DC loop power supply) may only be
used to power the internal inputs and outputs on the device.
It must not be used to power external circuits!
Note
If the protective earth (PE) is connected in the flowmeter's
terminal box, you must ensure that no dangerous potential
difference can arise between the protective earth (PE) and the
potential equalization (PA) in areas with explosion risk.
Note
• For devices with a power supply of 11 to 30 V DC, on-site
external overvoltage protection must be provided.
• You must make sure that the overvoltage is limited to
140 % (= 42 V DC) of the maximum operating voltage.
The output circuits are designed so that they can be connected
to both intrinsically-safe and non-intrinsically-safe circuits.
• Combining intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits
is not permitted.
• On intrinsically safe circuits, potential equalization should be
established along the entire length of the cable used for the
signal outputs.
• The rated voltage of the non-intrinsically safe circuits is
U
M
= 30 V.
• Intrinsic safety is preserved If the rated voltage U
M
= 30 V is
not up-scaled when connections are established to non-
intrinsically safe external circuits.
• The
information
in
Changing the type of protection
on
page 26 must be observed when changing the type of
protection.
Active digital output
DANGER
Risk of injury caused by live parts!
Option cards for the active digital output are intended only
for use in potentially explosive atmospheres as the ‘increased
safety’ (Ex-e) IP rating and therefore may not be used as an
intrinsically safe circuit.
If these optional active plug-in cards are used in combination
with other option cards, all the option cards used and all pre-
installed output current circuits must also use the ‘Increased
safety’ (Ex-e) IP rating.
The option of changing of IP rating is not permitted in
connection with Active Pulse option cards.
Devices connected to the relevant equipment must not be
operated at over 250 V
rms
AC or 250 V DC to ground.
Installation in accordance with ATEX or IECEx must comply with
the applicable national and international standards and
directives.
Installation in the USA or Canada must comply with ANSI / ISA
RP 12.6, ‘Installation of intrinsically safe systems for hazardous
(classified) locations’, the ‘National Electrical Code (ANSI / NFPA
70), sections 504, 505’ and the ‘Canadian electrical code (C22.1-
02)’.
Apparatus connected to the flowmeter must have appropriate
explosion protection approval in accordance with the Entity
concept.
The apparatus must have intrinsically safe circuits.
The apparatus must be installed and connected in accordance
with the relevant manufacturer documentation.
The electrical specifications in
Electrical data
on page 17 must
be observed.
