With regard to maximum surface temperatures, variable-area flowmeters are exposed to three
heat sources:
Ambient temperature T
•
Electric power loss Pv
•
Process temperature Tm
•
Accordingly, at a given maximum ambient temperature (T
loss (P
≤ 3 W), we obtain maximum surface temperatures as a factor of the process temperature.

5.1 Electrical connection
5.1.1 General
Insulation rating
The insulation of variable-area flowmeters H..../..../M10 - EEx is rated in conformity with
VDE 0110-1/04.97, equivalent to IEC 60 664-1, and takes into account the following ratings:
• Overvoltage category for signalling and measurement circuits: II
• Insulation contamination level: 2
HAZARDOUS-DUTY Systems
• The signal converter to be incorporated in the equipotential bonding system via the external
PA (equipotential bonding) connection.
• The electrical connection of the variable-area flowmeters to be made as a fixed installation.
5.1.2 Terminal compartment
The electrical connection of the power supply and I/O functions is made in the integrated terminal
compartment of the signal converter. The terminal compartment is designed in EEx d type of
protection. Unassigned openings to be sealed in conformity with EN 50 018.
The cables can basically be routed into the flameproof terminal compartment in one of two ways.
Direct entry of the connecting cables by way of certified flameproof cable glands into the
•
flameproof terminal compartment (V ≤ 2000 cm³). The cable glands must possess a separate
test certificate to EN 50 018. The requirements specified in the test certificate for the cable
gland need to be observed.
Direct entry of the power cables by way of conduits into the flameproof terminal compartment
•
of the device. After the conduit has been screwed in, this must together with the housing form
a flameproof joint with a minimum of 8mm depth of engagement. A suitable stopping box shall
be provided in accordance with the regulations for electrical installations. Installation of the
conduit must be carried out in compliance with its separate test certificate.
5.1.3 Connecting cables
The connecting cables shall be selected in keeping with the valid installation standards
(e.g. EN 60079-14 / VDE 0165). The outside diameter of the cables must match the cable
clamping area for the cable entries.
5.1.4 Connection of power and I/O function
Before connecting or disconnecting the electrical interconnecting cables of the device, make
•
sure that all cables leading to the signal converter are isolated from the ground (reference
potential) of the hazardous area. This also applies to safety conductors (PE) and equipotential
bonding conductors (PA).
All cores and shields of the connecting cables not safety-connected to the equipotential
•
bonding system for the hazardous area should be carefully insulated from each other and
from ground (test voltage 1500V
for conductors of non-intrinsically safe cables).
rms
11/2002
Signal converter M10-EEx d – Supplementary instructions 7
Page 8
Connect the shields by the shortest possible route to the press-fitted U-clamp terminal (PE) in
•
the terminal compartment. If shields are to be grounded at both ends (e.g. for EMC reasons),
adequate equipotential bonding is required between the two shield ends to avoid
unacceptable equalizing currents.
The signal converter must be incorporated in the equipotential bonding system of the
•
hazardous area. The cable is to be connected to the outer press-fitted U-clamp terminal in the
converter housing.
The measuring tube can be incorporated in the equipotential bonding system of the
•
hazardous area by means of the U-clamp terminal (if provided) in the flange or by means of
conductive connections (gaskets, etc.).

(15) Device description
The H…./…./M10-EEx variable-area flowmeter is designed to measure the volume rate of flow
of flammable and non-flammable gases and liquids in vertical pipe runs. The flow through the
measuring tube is from bottom to top, and the guided float adjusts so that lifting force, form
resistance and float weight are in equilibrium. Every vertical position of the float thus
corresponds to a specific flow rate. Electromagnetic position sensors in the display section
convert the position of the float into an appropriate electrical output signal.
