ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The OPTICHECK is suited to be used with the electromagnetic flowmeter families OPTIFLUX,
TIDALFLUX and WATERFLUX, the vortex flowmeter family OPTISWIRL, the mass flowmeter
family OPTIMASS as well as the radar level family OPTIWAVE.
There is no need for an external power connection since the OPTICHECK verification box itself is
fully powered over USB. However, the device under test (DUT) must be externally powered
during verifications (except the battery powered device IFC 070 and the loop-powered devices).
The OPTICHECK can perform a fully automated verification of all compatible field devices in
order to verify the accuracy of the signal converter. Depending on the field device type, the
sensor is verified – either by physical check of its electric characteristics or by firmware-internal
diagnostic functions. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the field device from the process
environment (except cabling) for the verification.
Different types of verifications are available which provide different depths of verification
depending on the type of the DUT – ranging from device-internal diagnostics to full electrical
verification of, for instance, input and output circuits. For all levels, a detailed test report and
certificate can be generated after verification. For more information refer to
verification report
on page 86.
OPTICHECK
Description of the
OPTICHECK is supplied with all the connection cables and adapters for the signal converters of

The required signal converter-specific instructions are described separately in the following
sections, which are structured as follows:
• Step 1: Overview and access to the housing versions (compact, remote and wall)
• Step 2: Cabling instructions for signal converter / sensor combinations
• Step 3: Conducting the verification
• Step 4: Reconnecting the device after verification

4.4 Connection of OPTIFLUX / TIDALFLUX / WATERFLUX flowmeters
The electromagnetic flowmeter families OPTIFLUX and TIDALFLUX equipped with IFC 050 /
IFC 100 / IFC 300 signal converters can be verified in three different depths: either verification is
performed via device-internal diagnostic functions without the need of disconnecting any
electrical connection (level 0 and level 1) or with a full electrical verification of the signal
converter and flow sensor (level 2).
A level 0 verification
level 0 verification (if supported by the connected signal converter) performs a number of tests
level 0 verificationlevel 0 verification
without the requirement of removing the flowmeter from the process environment or removing
electrical connections to the control station. The signal converter is also not disconnected from
the flow sensor. The only required connection to the flowmeter is the GDC service interface. In
this case, the depth of verification is limited, but the measurement will not be interrupted.

In addition to a level 0 verification a level 1 verification
supported by the connected signal converter). No additional connections are required, but the
measurement is interrupted.
A level 2 verification
level 2 verification is possible if all electrical connections of the signal converter (except
level 2 verificationlevel 2 verification
IFC 050) are removed from the process environment and the flow sensor, including installations
of the electronic inserts (IFC 300). In this case, OPTICHECK connects to all terminals (GDC, flow
sensor and I/O's) in order to perform a full electrical verification of the signal converter's
measurement accuracy.
4.4.1 Connection of IFC 050
Electromagnetic flowmeters equipped with IFC 050 signal converters can be verified with
OPTICHECK in the following versions:
• Compact version (the signal converter is mounted directly on the flow sensor)
• Remote version (electrical connection to the flow sensor via field current and signal cable)
level 1 verification also performs signal simulations (if
