1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Intended use
This flowmeter has been specifically designed for measuring Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in
retail dispensers.
1.2 Associated documents
This handbook should be read in conjunction with relevant documents in relation to:
• hazardous areas
• communications
• concentration
• corrosion
1.3 Dirty gas
Dirty gas is gas that carries sand or other solid particles. Dirty gas causes excessive wear to the
primary measuring tube that can eventually result in complete tube failure. In some situations
tube failure where gas is being measured, can be very dangerous.
OPTIGAS 4010C
DANGER!
If the meter is being used to measure gas and there is a risk that the gas might be dirty, you
must fit a filter upstream of the meter to catch solid particles.

3.2 General notes on installation
INFORMATION!
Inspect the packaging carefully for damages or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.
INFORMATION!
Do a check of the packing list to make sure that you have all the elements given in the order.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
3.3 Mounting restrictions
3.3.1 General installation principles
INSTALLATION 3
There are no special installation requirements but you should note the following
points:
• Support the weight of the meter as close to the meter body as possible.
• Mount the meter in such a way to avoid the build up of liquid in the measuring tube.
• Straight runs either side of the meter are not required.
• The use of reducers and other fittings at flanges, including flexible hoses, is allowed but you
should take care to avoid cavitation.
• Avoid extreme pipe size reductions.
• Meters are not affected by crosstalk and can be mounted in series or in parallel.
• Avoid mounting the meter at the lowest point in the pipeline where liquid can collect.

Mounting positions

1 Avoid mounting the meter with the flow running uphill because it can cause liquid to build up on the supply side of the
meter.
2 Mount the meter with the flow running downhill. This will allow any build up of liquid to drain from the meter.
3 Avoid mounting the meter with the connection box above the meter. This can cause liquid to collect in the measuring
tubes at their lowest point in the meter.
4 Mount the meter with the junction box underneath the meter. This will prevent liquid from collecting in the measuring
tubes.
5 The meter can be mounted vertically but DO NOT mount it so that the flow is uphill. This can cause fluid to build up on
the supply side of the meter.
6 If you are mounting the meter vertically, mount it so that the flow is downhill. This will allow any build up of fluid to
drain from the meter.

This displays the vibration frequency of the measuring tubes and should be stable to the first
decimal point. For example, the display might show 230.1xxx Hz. Variations in the first digit after
the decimal point indicates a fluctuation in gas density. This fluctuation can be caused by
changes in pressure / temperature or moisture in the gas.

A Coriolis twin-tube mass flowmeter consists of two measuring tubes (1) a drive coil (2) and
two sensors (3 and 4) that are positioned either side of the drive coil.

Energised meter
1 Measuring tubes
2 Direction of oscilation
3 Sine wave
When the meter is energised, the drive coil vibrates the measuring tubes causing them to
oscillate and produce a sine wave (3). The sine wave is monitored by the two sensors.
Energised meter with process flow
TECHNICAL DATA 6
1 Process flow
2 Sine wave
3 Phase shift
When a fluid or gas passes through the tubes, the Coriolis effect causes a phase shift in the sine
wave that is detected by the two sensors. This phase shift is directly proportional to the mass
flow.
Temperature measurement is made using a Pt500 sensor.
