11.3 Cathodic protective units
Using a cathodic protective unit to avoid corrosion, which put a voltage to the tube wall, it
must be connected to terminal FE. The transmitter boards, control panel and internal switches
are on the same potential as FE.
Warning
According to EN 50178:1997 all electrical circuits with protective safety
isolation without any protection against contacts must observe the
following maximum voltages:
Maximum AC voltage (root mean square value) 25 V
Maximum DC voltage 60 V
It is strictly forbidden to connect FE to any higher voltage!
11.4 Zero point calibration
In order to ensure that precise measurements are obtained, zero point calibration is to be
realized the first time the device is put into operation and before any regular operations are
carried out. Zero point calibration is to be carried out using a fluid.
The zero calibration procedure is as follows:
-
Install the sensor as described in the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Check to ensure that the sensor is completely filled with fluid and that there are no gas
bubbles in the flow tubes.
-
Define the process conditions such as pressure, temperature and density.
-
Close a potential shut-off device behind the sensor.
-
Operate the transmitter in accordance with the instructions in chapter 11.4 Zero point
calibration.
-
Make sure that sufficient time is allowed for the electronics to warm up.
-
Allowing fluid to flow through the sensor during the zero calibration procedure will skew
the zero point and result in false readings.
11.5 Startup conditions
The device is not subject to specific startup conditions. However, pressure surges should
be avoided.
