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the non-explosion protected versions apply unchanged unless excluded or superseded by these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
Under his sole responsibility, the manufacturer hereby declares conformity with the protection
goals of Directive 94/9/EC for use in hazardous areas.
The EC Type Examination Certificate of the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) forms
the basis of the EC Declaration of Conformity:

If required the EC Type Test Certificate can be downloaded under www.krohne.com.
1.3 Security information
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.
Installation conditions:
Installation conditions:
Installation conditions:Installation conditions:
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...

2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes
Because of the influence of the temperature of the product, no fixed temperature class is
assigned to variable area flowmeters. In fact, the temperature class of a device is a function of
the temperature of both the product and the environment. A distinction is made between devices
with signal output 4...20 mA and limit switches. There is no distinction between devices with one
or two contacts. The classification is outlined in the following tables.
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.

3.1 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 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.1 General notes
The limit switch or electronic signal output with protection level "ia" or "ib" is electrically
connected in the terminal compartment of the display housing. Permissible maximum values
(electrical data) must be observed. Observe the specified polarities.
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 so they are 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 variable area flowmeter is equipped as standard with a blanking plug and a cable entry.
These elements guarantee protection from foreign bodies and water (protection type) IP65 as
per EN 60529.
The cable entries provided also ensure protection from foreign bodies and water. The nominal
diameter range of the cable entries is 3...7 mm.
Suitable blanking plugs and seals are to be used for unused cable entries. Ensure that the seals
are tight.
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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4
For the H250/../M8.G/.. designs also ensure proper fit of the mounting screws 2.

5 OPERATION
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.

6.1 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:
• Inspection of the housing, the cable entries and the feed lines for corrosion and damage.
• Checking the piping connections and the measuring unit as well as the needle valve, if
necessary, for leaks.
• Include the flowmeter in the regular pressure testing of the process line.
The cover is to be closed following maintenance work on the signal converter.

Exchanging the entire deviceExchanging the entire device
Removal and installation are the responsibility of the operator.
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 to be depressurized before removing the flowmeter.
•
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.
