7 Grounding 

• 

All flowmeters must be properly grounded to avoid personnel shock hazard. 

• 

The ground conductor should not transmit any interference voltages, therefore do not ground any 
other electrical devices together with this conductor. 

 

ALTOFLUX  M900

  separate primary head with terminal box 

 

• 

An 

FE functional ground

 must always be connected. 

• 

Signal converter with field power supply > 125 mA / 60 V

 a 

PE protective conductor

 must be 

connected to the primary head, because of the higher field current from the signal converter. See 
grounding diagrams below. 

 

ALTOFLUX  3080 K

  compact systems 

 

Supply power > 50 V AC 

• 

Grounding is via the 

PE protective ground conductor

 incorporated in the power supply cable,  

see also Section “Connection to power” in the installation and operating instructions for the signal 
converter. 

• 

EXCEPTION:

 

Do not connect up the PE protective ground conductor in the terminal box

  

if e.g. compact units are operated in the proximity of electric furnaces, electrolysis plants, etc.,  
and large potential differences occur in the pipeline system. An FE functional ground must 
simultaneously take over the function of the protective conductor (combined protective/functional 
ground). Refer to appropriate national codes for specific requirements for this type of installation, 
which may require the addition of a ground fault detection circuit interrupter. 

 

Power supply 24 V AC or DC 

• 

Protective separation (PELV) must be ensured (VDE 0100 / VDE 0106 or IEC 364 / IEC 536 or 
equivalent national regulations). 

• 

An 

FE functional ground conductor

 must be connected for measurement reasons.
