3 CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
In the case of field versions, the electrical connection between the sensor TIDALFLUX 2000 and
the signal converter IFC 300 F / PF is established via a signal cable, a field current cable and a
RS 485 cable.
The field current cable is no part of the supply and must be supplied by the user. It must be
according EN/IEC 60079-14 clause 9.3 and 11.3 (Increased safety).
The signal cable is part of the supply.
3.1 Signal cable A
The signal cable A is a double screen shielding cable, according to EN/IEC 60079-14 clause 12.2
(Intrinsic safety).

3.3 Equipotential bonding
• As the Ex ia electrode circuits of the flow sensors are effectively grounded through the
conductive liquid in the measuring tube, an equipotential bonding system must exist over the
whole area in which the electrode circuits, including their wiring, are installed, conform
EN/IEC 60 079-14 clause 12.2.4.
• The flowmeter TIDALFLUX 2000, the electrode cable and the IFC 300 F / PF signal converter
must all be included in the equipotential bonding system of the hazardous area. If a single
separate conductor is used for equipotential bonding, than this conductor must have a cross
2
section of at least 4 mm
copper.
• The separate equipotential bonding conductor between flow sensor and converter can be left
out, if by other means (e.g. over bonding conductors over the metal piping system) a high
level of assurance that potential equalization exists between flow sensor TIDALFLUX 2000
and converter IFC 300 F / PF is reached.

4.1 Installation instructions
For IFC 300 F / PF and TIDALFLUX 2000 :
When used in a potentially explosive atmosphere, requiring the use of apparatus of equipment
category 2G, certified cable entry devices must be used that are suitable for the application and
correctly installed.
Unused openings must be closed with suitable certified closing elements.
To avoid voltage and current addition, the intrinsically safe circuits must be separated and wired
to EN/IEC 60 079-14.

4.2 Connection of TIDALFLUX 2000
The flow sensor and the signal converter must be incorporated in the equipotential bonding
system of the installation. This can be established internally by connection of the protective
earth (PE) conductor of the mains supply system to the internal PE clamp, or externally, by
connecting a separate equipotential bonding conductor between the two external PE-clamps
(size M5). A separate bonding conductor must have a cross-sectional area of at least 4 mm
The electronics compartment of the TIDALFLUX 2000 is provided in type of protection

to the requirements of protection “flameproof enclosure” Ex d. Screw the covers on and off with
care and never use excessive force !

To unscrew the covers, first release the interlocking devices (one at each cover). Therefore
unscrew the M4 head screw with internal hexagon socket set using a HEX or Allen key no. 2.5
until the interlocking device can be turned. After the covers are screwed back onto the housing,
make sure that the interlocking devices are properly refitted.

Up to a maximum of 4 intrinsically safe (Ex ia) in-/outputs are possible. All intrinsically safe
circuits are galvanically insulated with respect to earth and each other. To avoid summation of
voltages and current, the wiring of these “Ex ia”-circuits must be sufficiently separated, e.g. in
accordance with the requirements of standard EN/IEC 60079-14, clause 12.2.
The “Ex ia” signal in-/outputs may only be connected to other “Ex ia” or “Ex ib” approved devices
(e.g. intrinsically safe isolation amplifiers), even if such devices are installed in a non-hazardous
location ! Connection to non-“Ex i” devices cancels the “Ex ia” properties of the flowmeter.
Terminals L and N (or L+ and L-) for connection of the mains supply are not available with type of
protection “intrinsic safety”. To achieve the necessary separation distances according to EN/IEC
60079-11 between the non-”Ex i” and “Ex i” circuits, the mains terminals are provided with a
semi-circular protection cover with a “snap-in” lock. This cover MUST be closed before
establishing the power supply to the converter.
INFORMATION!
For converters with an
energized state for short periods of time, to access the intrinsically safe terminals for possible
checks. However, the semi-circular insulation cover over the non-intrinsically safe mains supply
terminals L and N (or L+ and L-) MUST be kept closed.

5 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
5.1 Maintenance
The flowmeters are maintenance free with respect to the flowmetering properties. Within the
scope of periodic inspections required for electrical equipment installed in hazardous areas it is
recommended to check the housing for signs of damage or corrosion.
This is especially important for following Ex d electronic compartments:
• In case of replacement of one (or more) of the four M6 hexagon socket head cap screws with
which the converter housing of the IFC 300 F / PF or the TIDALFLUX 2000 is connected to the
wall mounting support or to the connection box of the flow sensor, equivalent types must be
used, that are M6x16 hexagon socket head cap screws to EN ISO 4762, steel quality A2-70 or
A4-70.
• If needed, contact the manufacturer for information on the dimensions of the flameproof
joints.
5.2 Before and after opening
WARNING!
the following instructions must always be carefully followed, if the housing of the signal
converter has to be opened respectively closed again.
TIDALFLUX 2300 F
Before opening:
• Make absolutely sure that there is no explosion hazard!
• Gas-free certificate!
• Make sure that all connecting cables are safely isolated from all external sources!
• Allow the elctronics to de-energize before opening the electronics compartment of the
converter housing. Wait at least 35 minutes for T6.
When the instructions above are strictly followed, the display cover (includes glass window) of
the electronics compartment may be removed. First unscrew the head screw with internal
hexagon socket set (size M4) of the interlocking device by a No. 2.5 Allen key, until the cover can
rotate freely.
After opening:
• Before the cover is screwed back onto the housing, the screw-thread must be clean and wellgreased with an acid and resin-free grease, e.g. PTFE grease.
• Screw the cover as tight as possible into the housing by hand, until it cannot be opened by
hand anymore. Fixate the screw of the interlocking device tight with the No. 2.5 Allen key.

5.3 Replacement of mains fuse
WARNING!
Before starting the work refer to Before and after opening on page 22
• Pull the display unit of the mounting frame using the two metal levers left and right and turn
display unit carefully aside.
• Unscrew the two screws size M4 that hold the mounting frame with the electronics unit.
• Carefully pull the mounting frame with electronics unit almost completely out of the housing,
disconnect the long rectangular (14-pole) blue connector at the back-end of the electronics
unit. Now carefully remove the unit from the housing.
• The mains fuse is located in a fuse holder at the back-end of the electronics unit. The
specifications must be as follows:
Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127
Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127
Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127
