1.1. General system description
The RHEONIK mass flow meter consists of one of the RHM series flow sensors and one RHE series
transmitter. The remote unit RHE 07/08 is for installation in a safe non-Ex area and is connected to
the sensor via a single multi-conductor cable. Please note, that the types RHE 07/08 and all sensor
articles are available in non Ex-versions (without Ex-nameplate).
The RHE 11 (EEx d) may be installed and operated in hazardous Ex-areas (Zone 1 or 2).
Ex-series sensors RHM (with Ex-Label) are, when connected with a Ex- Transmitter, made for installa-
tion inside hazardous areas (Ex-zone 0, 1 or 2).
The transmitter RHE includes seven printed boards which can be replaced during servicing.
The remote electronic unit consists of two bent measuring loops in the shape of an omega.
1.2 Installation instructions for sensor RHM
For liquids, install the sensor RHM at lowest practical level in your pipe line system. This stops gas
bubbles from collecting in the sensor.
Installation example:
RHM
The piping system must be as free of vibration as possible. Normal building and plant vibration has no
effect on meter performance. However do not mount the sensor in areas having abnormally high
vibration.
