2.4 Flammable products
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.
Operating 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.
CAUTION!
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...
(PTFE-liner, nonconductive) the min. conductivity of the medium must be 10

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. The classification is outlined in the
following tables.
The tables take into account the following parameters:
• Ambient temperature T
• Product temperature T
• Nominal DN
• Heat resistance of the connecting cable
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.

4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.1 General notes
The signal circuits are electrically connected in the buit-in terminal compartment of the signal
converter.
Unused conduit entries should be closed using approved blind plugs and seals. Ensure that the
seals are tight.
The connecting cables should be selected according to the applicable installation standards (e.g.
EN 60079-14) and the maximum operating temperature. The outside diameter of the connecting
cables must be matched to the sealing area of the conduit entry/entries. The connecting cables
must be fixed and laid in such a way as to be sufficiently protected against damage.
Before connecting or disconnecting the electric connecting cable of the device, ensure that all of
the cables leading to the signal converter are de-energised relative to each other and to the
reference potential of the hazardous area. This also applies to earthing conductors (FE) and
equipotential bonding conductors (PA).
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 ground (test voltage ≥ 500 V
H250 M10
).
eff
4.2 Power supply
The variable area flowmeter does not require any separate power supply. The required supply
for the built-in electronics is provided via the 4...20mA current output.
4.3 Inputs / outputs
The signal circuits of the variable area flowmeter may only be connected to downstream devices
or circuits that satisfy the requirements of protective extra-low voltage (PELV). The terminal
assignment of the equipment is described in the standard installation and operating
instructions.

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.
If the device needs to be configured due to the existence of an explosive dust atmosphere, this
can be done using the supplied programming magnets. There is no need to open the housing as
it can be done through the glass window of the electronics compartment or digitally via the
signal output (HART interface).
5.2 Operation
Variable area flowmeters must be operated in such a way that they remain within the maximum
and minimum permissible temperatures and pressures and the electrical limit values.
H250 M10
Variable area flowmeters may only be operated if the equipment parts necessary for safety are
effective in the long run, and are not rendered inoperable during operation.
During operation it is only permitted to open the indicator if no explosive atmosphere is present.
5.3 Electrostatic charge
In order to avoid ignition hazards due to electrostatic charge, variable area
flowmeters may not be used in areas where the following appear:
• processes that generate large charges,
• machines with friction and cutting processes,
• spraying of electrons (e.g. in the vicinity of electrostatic painting systems),
• dust carried by compressed air.
