Warning
• Turn off power to the converter side before wiring, to avoid electric
shock.
Caution
• Be sure to ground the detector without fail (class 3 grounding). In-
sufficient grounding could cause output fluctuation, instability of the zero point, or output drift.

1.3 Use of Explosion-proof Electromagnetic Flowmeters for TIIS
Before use
Flameproof structure
Location guide­lines
This flowmeter is of flameproof structure. Read this item carefully to ensure correct use.
Flameproof structure means a totally enclosed housing that is capable of with­standing an explosion of a gas or vapor within it, and of preventing the igni­tion of an explosive gas or vapor that may surround it.
Install the flowmeter in accordance with the following guidelines:
• The flowmeter can be installed in hazardous areas of grade:
IIC T4
1 2
1. Explosive gaseous atmosphere graded IIC
2. Gaseous atmosphere where the ignition temperature is 135°C or greater
This means that the flowmeter can only be installed in Class I and II locations. It cannot be installed in Class 0 locations.
• When installing the flowmeter in a hazardous or non-hazardous area, refer to the installation specifications described in the appendix for the correct wiring.
• The pressure-resistant packing cable adapter must be placed in the signal wire outlet of the flowmeter converter. Use the adapter supplied.
• Handle the flowmeter case and cover carefully to prevent any damage or distortion. Properly tighten the converter cover and never open it during operation.
The specified explosion capability cannot be guaranteed if any of the above guidelines are ignored. When wiring the flowmeter in a Class 1 Hazardous Area, or in any area where only low voltage wiring work is allowed, follow procedures published by the Research Institute of Industrial Safety.
1 - 9
Nameplates
The flowmeter is required to pass a certified examination conducted in accor­dance with Industrial Safety and Hygiene Regulations. The Industry Safety Engineering Association authorizes the flowmeter to carry a certified name­plate only after passing the examination.

1.4 Use of Explosion-proof Electromagnetic Flowmeters for FM/CSA
Before use
Flameproof (Explosion­protection) structure
Location guidelines
This flowmeter is of flame-proof (Explosion-protection) structure. Read this item carefully to ensure correct use.
Flameproof structure means a totally enclosed housing that is capable of with­standing an explosion of a gas or vapor within it, and of preventing the igni­tion of an explosive gas or vapor that may surround it.
Install the flowmeter in accordance with the following guidelines:
1. FM/CSA
FM/CSA Explosion-proof model
THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, II, III, DIVISION 1, GROUPS (B, C, D, E, F, G).
CAUTION:
(1) power supply and internal voltage of ordinary equipment to the earth shall
not exceed AC250V 50/60HZ, DC250V in case of normal /formal condi-
tions. (2) ambient temperature is from –10 to 60°C (3) Process temperature is from –40 to 160°C
Continued on next page
1 - 11
If an MGG18/19 detector is used with an MGG14C converter as an FM-approved nonincendive product, both the detector and the converter should be FM-approved nonincendive products. If they are not, the MGG18/19 detector cannot be used as an FM-approved nonincendive product.

Chapter 2 - Installing the Device

Introduction
This section describes the installation and wiring of Electromagnetic Flowmeter.
The required parts and method for installing this device may vary slightly depending on the material of the wetting ring and the pipe.
Installation is explained in the following order:
• Criteria for selecting the installation environment
• An outline of the method of installing the device
• Detailed methods of installation depending on the material
2 - 1
2-1 Before Installing
Criteria for Selecting the Installation Site (1)
Introduction
Environment
In order to make full use of the functions of the device, select an optimal installation site by following the selection criteria below.
Caution
• Install the unit in a location with an ambient temperature of –25 to +60°C and a relative humidity of 5% to 100%. Failing to meet these requirements could cause output errors.
• Install the unit away from high-current power lines, motors and transformers to prevent damage from electromagnetic induction. Failing to meet this requirement could cause output errors.
• Do not install the unit in a location subject to severe vibration or a highly corrosive atmosphere. Failing to meet this requirement could break the neck of the detector or cause other damage.
• As far as possible, install the unit out of direct sunlight. Failing to meet this requirement could cause output errors.
Fluid to be measured
Caution
The location for your MagneW FLEX+/PLUS+ must satisfy the following conditions. Failing to meet these requirements could cause output errors and fluctuations.
• A location where the conductance of the fluid to be measured matches the stated specification (specs. vary according to the con­verter used) and is more or less constant.
• A location where the fluid to be measured can be regarded as elec­trochemically uniform. For example, if two fluids are mixed at an upstream point, the two fluids should be uniformly mixed by the time they reach the measurement point.
• A location where the distribution of suspended matter, if any, can be regarded as nearly uniform
