intrinsically safe connections to the ultrasonic flow sensor in separate version. The ultrasonic
signal converter is either provided with increased safety or intrinsically safe in-/outputs that are
located in the terminal compartment, which can either be configured as “Ex d” or “Ex e”.
The converter is marked with one of the following codes:

2.1 General
Due to the influence of the process temperature, ultrasonic flow sensors in separate version
with type designation OPTISONIC 6000 xxxxxx-Ex are not allocated to any fixed temperature
class. For the temperature classification table refer to
The temperature limits apply under the following conditions:
• The instrument is installed and operated in accordance with the installation directions given
• The instrument is not heated up by any additional heat radiation (direct solar radiation, heat
• Insulation is not hindering free ventilation of the ultrasonic signal converter housing.

2.2 UFC 300 F(/i)-Ex
The UFC 300 F(/i)-Ex ultrasonic signal converter in separate version is not influenced by the
temperature of the process medium, because it is installed on a distance of the pipe-line and
thus not physically connected to the pipe-line. The UFC 300 F(/i)-Ex signal converter has a
temperature classification of T6 (85°C). The permissible ambient temperature is dependent on
the material that the electronics housing is made of, namely:
• die-casted aluminum: -40...+60ºC
• die-casted stainless steel: -40...+55ºC

4.1 General
The display cover seals the electronics compartment of the converter housing and provides type
of protection “flameproof enclosure”. The terminal compartment is default in type of protection “increased safety” ("Ex e") and can optionally be performed as flameproof enclosure ("Ex d"). The
threaded joints formed by the covers and housing are a tight fit due to the requirements for type
of protection “flameproof enclosure”. Screw the covers on and off with care and never use
excessive force !
Keep the screw-threads free of dirt and well-greased (e.g. with PTFE grease). The grease will
help to prevent the threads from locking due to corrosion.
To unscrew the covers, first release the interlocking devices (one at each cover). Therefore
unscrew the M4 head screw with internal hexagon socket set using a No. 3 Allen key until the
interlocking device can be turned. After the covers are screwed back onto the housing, make
sure that the interlocking devices are properly refitted.
WARNING!
Allow the electronics to de-energize before opening the electronics compartment of the flow
converter housing. Wait at least 35 minutes for T6 and 10 minutes for T5 before opening.

Intrinsic Safety (Ex ia).
Up to a maximum of 4 intrinsically safe (Ex ia) in-/outputs are possible. All intrinsically safe
circuits are galvanically isolated with respect to earth and each other. To avoid summation of
voltages and current, the wiring of these “Ex ia”-circuits must be sufficiently separated, e.g. in
accordance with the requirements of standard EN 60079-14, clause 12.2.
The “Ex ia” in-/outputs may only be connected to other “Ex ia” or “Ex ib” approved devices (e.g.
intrinsically safe isolation amplifiers), even if such devices are installed in a non-hazardous
location !
Connection to non-“Ex i” devices cancels the “Ex ia” properties of the flowmeter.
Terminals L and N (or L+ and L-) for connection of the mains supply are not available with type of
protection “intrinsic safety”. To achieve the necessary separation distances according to EN
60079-11 between the non-”Ex i” and “Ex i” circuits, the mains terminals are provided with a
semi-circular protection cover with a “snap-in” lock. This cover MUST be closed before
establishing the power supply to the converter.

For converters with an
energized state for short periods of time, to access the intrinsically safe terminals for possible
checks. However, the semi-circular insulation cover over the non-intrinsically safe mains supply
terminals L and N (or L+ and L-) MUST be kept closed.

5.1 Maintenance
The flowmeters are maintenance free with respect to the flowmetering properties. Within the
scope of periodic inspections required for electrical equipment installed in hazardous areas it is
recommended to check the flameproof converter housing and covers for signs of damage or
corrosion.
5.2 Before and after opening
WARNING!
the following instructions must always be carefully followed, if the housing of the signal
converter has to be opened respectively closed again.
Before opening:
• Make absolutely sure that there is no explosion hazard!
• Gas-free certificate!
• Make sure that all connecting cables are safely isolated from all external sources!
• Allow the electronics to de-energize before opening the electronics compartment of the
converter housing. Wait at least 35 minutes for T6 and 10 minutes for T5 before opening.
MAINTENANCE 5
When the instructions above are strictly followed, the display cover (includes glass window) of
the electronics compartment may be removed. First unscrew the head screw with internal
hexagon socket set (size M4) of the interlocking device by a No. 3 Allen key, until the cover can
rotate freely.
After opening:
• Before the cover is screwed back onto the housing, the screw-thread must be clean and well-
greased with an acid and resin-free grease, e.g. PTFE grease.
• Screw the cover as tight as possible onto the housing by hand, until it cannot be opened by
hand anymore. Fixate the screw of the interlocking device tight with the No. 3 Allen key.

5.3 Replacement of mains fuse
WARNING!
Before commencing the work, refer to Before and after opening on page 21
follows:
• Pull the display unit of the mounting frame and turn display unit carefully aside.
• Unscrew the two screws size M4 that hold the mounting frame with the electronics unit.
• Carefully pull the mounting frame with electronics unit out of the housing, until the small
printed circuit board with the six soldered coaxial cables can be pulled off of the sensor driver
PC-board. Now carefully remove the unit from the housing, while keeping the small printed
circuit board with coaxial cables down, close to the housing wall.
• The mains fuse is located in a fuse holder at the back-end of the electronics unit on the top
printed circuit board (power supply PCB). The specifications must be as follows:
Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127-2/V
Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127-2/V
Fuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127-2/VFuse type: 5 x 20 mm (H) according to IEC 60127-2/V

DANGER!
All work on the electrical connections may only be carried out with the power disconnected. Take
note of the voltage data on the nameplate!
WARNING!
Observe without fail the local occupational health and safety regulations. Any work done on the
electrical components of the measuring device may only be carried out by properly trained
specialists.
INFORMATION!
Make notes of important specific data, before exchanging the electronics.
Menu settings are stored on the circuit board (or backplane), that is fixed to the housing. After

Figure 5-2: Pull off printed circuit board
Perform the following procedures:
• Unscrew the display cover of the electronics compartment by hand, by turning it counter
clockwise 1.
• Remove the display by using two screwdrivers 2.
• Unscrew the two M4 screws 3 at the electronics unit 4.
• Pull the two metal pullers 5 at the left and right of the display, using a screwdriver or similar
tool and partially pull out the electronics unit.

MAINTENANCE 5
DANGER!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic parts. Make sure to discharge yourself by
wearing a wrist strap. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal surface
that is grounded.
• Remove the printed circuit board 6 from the electronics unit 4.
• Check compatibility between the removed and new electronics unit 4, by checking the power
voltage.
• Slide the new electronics unit 4 partially back into the housing.
• Mount the small printed circuit board back onto the electronics unit 4.
• Push the metal pullers 5 back to their original position.
Don't use excessive force, otherwise the connector at the backside can be damaged!
• Screw the electronics unit back to the housing.
• Re-install the display and make sure not to kink the display's flat ribbon cable.
• Replace cover and tighten by hand.
• Connect power.
