5.3Disposal of packaging
All packaging materials are environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable:
No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the
construction of the device.
6.1.1Mounting position
Mounting location
The measuring device is usually installed in a bypass line. If flow rates are low, the device can
also be installed in the main pipe.
Installation in a bypass line is recommended in the following cases:
• Flow rate >1 l/min (0.26 gal/min.)
• Pipeline diameter >6 mm (0.24 in)
Orientation
The orientation of the device does not affect the measuring accuracy.
Flow direction
The flow direction does not affect the measuring accuracy.
Inlet and outlet runs
Inlet and outlet runs do not affect the measuring accuracy.
6.1.2Requirements from environment and process
Ambient temperature range
Non-Ex version–20 to +60 °C (–4 to +140 °F)
Ex ia IIC T4 version–20 to +60 °C (–4 to +140 °F)
• If operating via USB port: operating temperature is limited to 0 to 60 °C (32 to 140 °F).
• If operating outdoors: avoid direct sunlight, particularly in warm climatic regions.
System pressure
Permitted absolute system
pressure
Max. 20 bar (290 psi)
The relative accuracy of the density measurement increases with increasing system
pressure.

ΔP < 0.1 bar (1.45 psi)
P2 < P1
P1 < 20 bar (290 psi)
Thermal insulation
Due to a low thermal capacity of the medium, the medium temperature can be greatly
affected by the ambient temperature through the supply line and the measuring device. The
influence of the ambient temperature on the medium temperature can be reduced by
insulating the supply line.
Vibrations
Due to the high operating frequency of the micro-channel, vibrations (<20 kHz) do not affect
measuring accuracy.
6.1.3Special mounting instructions
Wall mounting
Use drill holes and M6 screws to secure the filter to a wall or a secure base.
A0026012
Pipe mounting
Use the "pipe mounting kit" accessory to secure to a pipe or post.
Installation in a bypass line
Note the following when installing in a bypass line:
• A pressure drop must be created for the medium to flow through the measuring device.
• The maximum permissible pressure drop of 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) across the measuring device
may not be exceeded.
• The bypass line can be routed to the atmosphere or back to the process pipe.
Examples:
• Create necessary pressure drop with throttle (or flow monitor) downstream from the
measuring device.
• If process pressure > 20 bar: create necessary pressure drop with pressure reduction valve
upstream and throttle (or flow monitor) downstream from the measuring device.
The measuring device and the filter supplied are mounted in the pipe using a ¹⁄" Swagelok
pipe fitting.
1.Cut the pipe at a right-angle and deburr it.
2.Push the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go.
3.Tighten the nut finger-tight.
4.Mark the nut at the 6-o'clock position.

10.7.3General information
The "Datalog function" application package can only be accessed via Nanomass
Communication. After activating the application package, the measuring data that are saved
in the internal data memory can be retrieved in the "Measuring data retrieval" function area.
This also includes the saving of measuring data to a text file that can be imported into a
database. If the "Datalog function" application package was not activated, the "Measuring
data retrieval" function area is not accessable.
If the "Concentration Measurement" application package was ordered for the measuring
device ex works, the function is available when the measuring device is delivered from the
factory. The function is accessed via the measuring device local display or via Nanomass
Communication. No particular measures are required to be able to put the function into
operation.
Ways to check function availability in the measuring device:
• Using the serial number:
W@M Device viewer order code option EC "Concentration"
• In the operating menu:
Check whether the function appears in the operating menu: menu "Special function"
"Density function" "Density type". If the "Flexible" option appears the function is activated.
If the function cannot be accessed in the measuring device, the application package was not
selected when the device was ordered. It is possible to subsequently activate the function.
10.8.2Activation
For activation, a conversion kit from Endress+Hauser is required. Among other things, this
kit contains an activation code which must be entered via Nanomass Communication to
activate the "Concentration Measurement" function.
44Endress+Hauser
Page 45
Nanomass Gas DensityCommissioning
The activation function is available under "Device Settings" "Service mode" "Activate
software options". Once activated the "Concentration Measurement" application package is
permanently available in the measuring device.
To access the "Device settings" function area, you must enter the access code 0074 in the
"Access code for technician mode" field and then press "OK" to confirm. To be able to
access the functions of the "Service mode", the code 4685 for the service mode must be
entered.
10.8.3General principles
Once the "Concentration Measurement" application package is activated, the measuring
device can output the concentration of a binary gas mixture. The concentration indicates the
quantity of a pure substance that is in a gas mixture. The density, pressure and temperature
measuring variables make it possible to calculate the concentration of a fluid using
thermodynamic models. If a gas mixture consists of two substances (e.g. methane and
carbon dioxide), the measuring device can calculate the concentration of one of the
substances (e.g. methane or carbon dioxide) and display this information.
10.8.4Determining the coefficients
Your Endress+Hauser Sales Center can provide you with the coefficients that must be saved
in the measuring device to calculate the concentration. The following information is needed
to determine the coefficients:
• Composition (concentration range) of the binary gas mixture to be measured
• Temperature range in which the gas mixture is measured
• Pressure range in which the gas mixture is measured
The smaller the selected range of concentration, temperature and pressure, the better the
approximation of the coefficients and therefore the better the accuracy. The accuracy also
depends on the difference in density between the two substances in the gas mixture. The
bigger the difference in density, the more accurate the measured values. The measuring
device cannot calculate binary gas mixtures where both substances have the same density
(e.g. nitrogen and carbon monoxide).
10.8.5Configuring the concentration
Settings for calculating a concentration can be made in the "Special Function" menu.

special density values or the percentage

16.1Application
The measuring device is suitable for density and concentration measurement of gases only.
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure potentially
explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
To ensure that the device remains in proper operating condition for its service life, use the
measuring device only for media against which the process-wetted materials are adequately
resistant ( 69).
16.2Function and system design
Measuring principleDensity and concentration measurement based on determining the frequency of a micro-
channel which is caused to oscillate at resonance frequency and which is part of a
micromechanical system (MEMS).
Measuring systemFor information on the structure of the measuring device, see "Product description" (
10).
16.3Input
Measured variable Direct measured variables
•Density
• Temperature (at density measurement)
• Pressure (at density measurement)
As the ambient temperature can influence the medium temperature in the microchannel, the measured temperature can deviate from the actual process temperature.

The relative accuracy of the density measurement increases with increasing system
pressure.
Thermal insulationDue to a low thermal capacity of the medium, the medium temperature can be greatly
affected by the ambient temperature through the supply line and the measuring device. The
influence of the ambient temperature on the medium temperature can be reduced by
insulating the supply line.
VibrationsDue to the high operating frequency of the micro-channel, vibrations (<20 kHz) do not affect
measuring accuracy.

Concentrations are calculated and displayed.
Using the Concentration Measurement application package, the concentration of a
substance in a binary gas mixture can be determined from the measured density,
pressure and temperature.
Your Endress+Hauser Sales Center can provide you with the information that is
needed to determine the coefficients, which must be saved in the measuring device
to calculate the concentration.
Via the "Measuring data retrieval" function area, measuring data that are saved in
the internal data memory can be retrieved. This also includes the saving of
measuring data to a text file that can be imported into a database.
