1.1 General notes
These additional instructions apply to explosion-protected versions of variable area flowmeters
with electrical built-ins and the marking II 2 G. They complement the Installation and Operation
Instructions for the non-explosion protected versions.
The information given in these Instructions contains only the data relevant to Category 2
explosion protection. The technical details given in the Installation and Operation Instructions for
the non-explosion protected versions apply unchanged unless excluded or superseded by these
Instructions.
1.2 EC conformity
The manufacturer declares with the EC Declaration of Conformity on his own responsibility
conformity with the protection goals of Directive 94/9/EC for use in hazardous areas with gas.
The EC Type Examination Certificate of the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) forms
the basis of the EC Declaration of Conformity:

Assembly, installation, start-up and maintenance may only be performed by personnel trained in
explosion protection!
CAUTION!
The operator respectively his agent is responsible to follow further standards, directives or laws
if required due to operating conditions or place of installation. This applies particularly for the
use of easy detachable process connections such as SMS or Clamp when measuring flammable
mediums.

2.4 Flammable products
Atmospheric conditions:
Atmospheric conditions:
Atmospheric conditions:Atmospheric conditions:
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts under
atmospheric conditions. The following values define it
= -20...+60°C / -4...+140°F and P
T
atm
Outside of this range, no key data are available as to ignition behaviour for most mixtures.
Variable area flowmeters operate outside of atmospheric conditions, which means that
explosion protection according to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) – regardless of the zone assignment
– is fundamentally not applicable due to the lack of key safety data for the interior of the
measuring section.
WARNING!
Operation with flammable products is only permitted as long as no explosive fuel/air mixture
builds up on the inside of the flowmeter under operating conditions. The operator is responsible
for ensuring that the flowmeter is operated safely as regards the temperature and pressure of
the products used. In case of operation with flammable products the measuring units must be
included in the periodic pressure tests of the system. When using the device version H250/C...

2 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes
Due to the influence of the product temperature, variable area flowmeters with built-in electrical
equipment (electric variants) are not assigned to any fixed temperature class. The temperature
class of these devices is rather a function of the product temperature and ambient temperature
that is present and the specific device version. Please see the following tables for the
assignments.
The tables take into account the following parameters:
• Ambient temperature T
• Product temperature T
INFORMATION!
The maximum permissible product temperatures listed in the tables are valid under
the following conditions:
•
The measuring device is installed and operated in accordance with the installation
instructions in the installation and operating manual.
•
It must be ensured that the flowmeter is not heated by the effects of additional
heat radiation (sunshine, neighbouring system components) and
thus operated above the permissible ambient temperature range.
•
Insulation must be limited to the piping.
Unobstructed ventilation of the indicator part must be ensured.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation
Installation and setup must be carried out according to the applicable installation installation
standards (e.g. EN 60079-14) by qualified personnel trained in explosion protection. The
information given in the Installation and Operation Instructions and the Supplementary
Installation and Operation Instructions must always be observed.
Variable area flowmeters must be installed in such a way that
• There is no danger from mechanical impact effects.
• There are no external forces affecting the indicator part.
• The device is accessible for any visual inspections that are necessary, and can be viewed from
all sides.
• The nameplate is clearly visible.
• It can be operated from a location with secure footing.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use other than the
intended purpose. This applies in particular to hazards due to insufficient corrosion resistance
and suitability of the materials in contact with product.

4.1 General notes
For version DK3./../../S/../A-Ex (plug), the separate intrinsically safe signal circuits with level of
protection "ia" or "ib" are electrically connected in the terminal compartment of the plug
housing and for version DK3./../../L/../A-Ex (connecting cable) it is the connecting cable as
illustrated in the connection diagram. Permissible maximum values (electrical data) must be
observed.
Connecting cable
The connecting cables must be selected according to prevailing installation standards (e.g.
EN 60079-14). The outer diameter of the connecting cable must be within the sealing range of
the cable entry. The connecting cables must be fixed and laid in such a way as to be sufficiently
protected against damage.
All cores that are not used must be securely connected to the earth potential of the hazardous
area or carefully insulated against each other and against earth (test voltage ≥ 500 V
Cable entries / Blanking plugs
The DK3./../../S/../A-Ex variable area flowmeter is equipped with a connector. The connector
guarantees protection from foreign bodies and water (protection category) IP65 as per EN 60529.
The cable entry is closed with a plug. The plug is to be replaced with a suitable connecting cable
(nominal diameter range 6...9mm).

4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.2 Earthing and equipotential bonding
If the device is not sufficiently electrostatically grounded via the process cables, an additional
earth connection must be established using the earth screw 1. The position of the ground
terminal is illustrated below. The connection guarantees only an electrostatic connection of the
device and does not comply with the requirements of an equipotential bonding connection.

5.1 Start-up
Start-up is only permitted when the variable area flowmeter:
• is correctly installed in the system and connected.
• has been checked for the proper state with regard to its installation and connection
requirements.
The user of the system must have it checked before start-up in compliance with the national
regulations for checks before startup.
5.2 Operation
Setting of the limit switches may be carried out during operation. Remove the housing cover to
this purpose. The housing cover has to be closed immediately after the limit switches have been
set.

6 SERVICE
6.1 Maintenance
Maintenance work of a safety-relevant nature within the meaning of explosion protection may
only be carried out by the manufacturer, his authorised representative or under the supervision
of authorised inspectors.
For systems in hazardous areas, regular tests are required in order to maintain the proper
condition.
The following checks are recommended:
• Checking the housing, the cable entries and the feed lines for corrosion and/or damage.
• Checking the measuring unit and the piping connections for leakage.
The cover is to be closed following maintenance work on the display unit.
6.2 Dismantling
Replacing the display part
Due to the modular design of the variable area flowmeter, it is possible to replace a complete
display with an identical spare part in accordance with safety guidelines.
DK32 DK34
CAUTION!
There may be a loss of measuring accuracy!
Exchanging the entire device
Removal and installation is the user's responsibility.
Any replacement and removal should take place in a de-energized state if possible. If that is not
possible, the basic conditions for intrinsic safety (e.g. no grounding or connection of different
intrinsically safe circuits to one another) must be observed during dismantling.
CAUTION!
•
Pressurized pipes must be depressurized before removing the measuring section.
•
In the case of environmentally critical or hazardous products, appropriate safety precautions
must be taken with regard to residual liquids in the measuring unit.
•
New seals must be used when re-installing the device in the piping.
