2.2
Intended use
The measuring equipment is intended for the measurement of fluid properties in closed pipes. The connected transducers
measure the average flow velocity of the fluid.
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.
2.3
Not intended use
Not intended use in terms of a misuse means:
• any work on the measuring equipment without observing all instructions in this operating instruction
• use of transmitter, transducer and accessory combinations not intended by FLEXIM
• installation of the transmitter, transducers and accessories in explosive atmospheres they are not approved for
• any work on the measuring equipment (e.g., installation, dismounting, connection, start-up, operation, service and
maintenance) carried out by unauthorized and untrained personnel
• storage, installation and operation of the measuring equipment outside the specified ambient conditions (see technical
specification)
2.4
Safety instructions for the user
Any work on the transmitter has to be carried out by authorized and qualified personnel. Observe the safety instructions in
the operating instruction. For the technical data of the transmitter, transducers and accessories, see technical
specification.
• Observe the safety and accident prevention regulations applicable on the site of operation.
• Only use the supplied mounting fixtures and transducers as well as the intended accessories.
• Always wear the required personal protective equipment.
2.5
Safety instructions for the operator
• The operator shall qualify the personnel to perform their assigned tasks. The operator shall provide the required personal
protective equipment and oblige the personnel to wear it. It is recommended to risk assess the workplace.
• Besides the safety instructions in this operating instruction, the health, safety and environment regulations applicable for
the range of application of the transmitter, transducers and accessories have to be observed.
• With the exceptions stated in chapter 11, the measuring equipment is maintenance-free. Any components and spare
parts may only be replaced by FLEXIM. The operator shall carry out periodic checks for changes or damages that can
present a danger. For further information, contact FLEXIM.
• Observe the specifications for the installation and connection of the transmitter, transducers and accessories.
