A grounded terminal which, as far as the operator is concerned, is grounded via a
grounding system.
Protective Earth (PE)
A terminal which must be connected to ground prior to establishing any other
connections.
The ground terminals are situated inside and outside the device:
• Inner ground terminal: Connects the protectiv earth to the mains supply.
• Outer ground terminal: Connects the device to the plant grounding system.

Measuring principle
The measuring device measures the flow velocity in the measuring tube based on an offset
arrangement of ultrasonic sensors downstream. The design is non-invasive and does not have any
moving parts.
The flow signal is established by alternating an acoustic signal between the sensor pairs and
measuring the transit time of each transmission. Then utilizing the fact that sound travels faster
with the flow versus against the flow, this differential time (D T) can be used to determine the fluids
velocity between the sensors.
The volume flow rate is established by combining all the flow velocities determined by the sensor
pairs with the cross sectional area of the meter body and extensive knowledge about fluid flow
dynamics. The design of the sensors and their position ensures that only a short straight run of pipe
upstream of the meter is required after typical flow obstructions such as bends in one or two planes.
Advance digital signal processing facilitates constant validation of the flow measurement reducing
susceptibility to multiphase flow conditions and increases the reliability of the measurement.
Measuring system
The device consists of a transmitter and a sensor.
The device is available as a compact version:
The transmitter and sensor form a mechanical unit.
We only provide a warranty if the device is installed and used as described in the Operating
Instructions. The device is equipped with security mechanisms to protect it against any inadvertent
changes to the device settings.
IT security measures in line with operators' security standards and designed to provide additional
protection for the device and device data transfer must be implemented by the operators themselves.
