These limit switches are for RAGK42. It is a reed contact, so if selected the oat must incorporate a
magnet. This limit switch is considered as a simple apparatus according to
EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA 60079-11 and therefore does not require a specic hazardous area approval by
a notied body. A self-declaration regarding the compliance to EN 60079 is available on the Flow
Center Pages: RAGK_RAGN_Ex_Declaration_Option-GMx.
The /GM can be used together with a power supply option /WA or /WB.
The back panel of the meter has an opening for proper mounting of the contact.
One channel transmitter: ...-SR2-Ex1.W, connection like limit MAX
Einkanaliger Verstärker: ...-SR2-Ex1.W, Anschluss wie Grenzwert MAX
Un canal amplificateur: ...-SR2-Ex1.W, raccord comme limite MAX
These ring initiators are for RAGK41 and for RAGL41. These are inductive bipolar limit switches,
which means that the oat must have ferromagnetic features. The matching oat must therefore be
made from Mu-metal.
The /GR can be used together with a power supply option /WA or /WB.
The ring initiator is mounted directly over the tube, so the protection cover is not possible.
By its design the ring initiator is sensitive to strong electromagnetic impulses, so installation should be
on sufficient distance from such sources.

TI 01K01B04-01EN-R: 1st edition, April 01, 2020-00
Hazardous area approvals ATEX(/KS1) and IECEx(/ES1) are available for inductive ring sensor
options /GR.
The certicate can be found on the Flow Center pages:
RAGK_RAGL_RAGN_Cert_ATEX_RI20_Option-GR_E,

4.5 Scale types
The offered scale types for RAGL and RAGK have the following characteristics:

4.5.1 Scale types G and N
If the atmosphere is very aggressive and the user might have concerns about the chemical resistance of the sticker scale, option /IB is very suitable. With option /IB the scale will be directly printed
and burned in on the tube. The burned in scale will be printed permanently on the tube and cannot be
exchanged. For normal atmosphere the sticker scale is completely sufficient.
The scale type A can be combined with the scale types G and N. In combination with /IB, scale types
G or N are replaced by the burned-in scale.
4.5.2 Dual scale types, suffix code D and F
If two different uids run through the meter or if two quite different process conditions exist (more
typical for gas), two different scales can be provided with the meter.
With suffix code F only one scale design is sufficient. In this case the attached scale will be engraved
with the uid specic data, whereas the mm scale is fastened on the tube.
With suffix code D, two different sets of process conditions and scale designs must be delivered as
ordering instructions to the manufacturing. The rst scale design (a) is fastened as a sticker on the
TI 01K01B04-01EN-R: 1st edition, April 01, 2020-00
tube, the second scale design (b) is engraved in the attached scale.
To generate the 2 sets of ordering instructions in the FlowCongurator and SAP proceed as follows:
• Size rst the uid for the (a) scale
• Press “Export ordering instruction for YGS” and store the le ((a) scale)
• Start a second sizing. Make sure by varying the second max ow range, that you get the same
model code. If the second sizing gets a different cone, the instrument is physically not producible.
If the uid data and ow ranges of the two uids are too different, a dual scale may not be possible.
• Press “Export ordering instruction for YGS (dual scale)” and store the le ((b) scale).
• Import the model code in SAP and upload (a) scale rst and then additional the (b) scale as ordering instructions with the same upload function.
4.6 Test and Certicates
4.6.1 Option /H1: Oil and fat free for wetted surfaces according Yokogawa specication
For specic description, please see document TI 01K01B03-01EN-R.
4.6.2 Option /P2: Certicate of compliance with the order acc. to EN 10204: 2004-2.1
At the nal check a test will be processed which guarantees the compliance with the order.
This compliance is guaranteed with a certicate. An example can be found on the Flow Center page:
RAGK_Cert_example_2-1 compliance with the order_E_D.
4.6.3 Option /P3: As /P2 + Test report acc. to EN 10204: 2004-2.2
The protocol of the test will be delivered additional to the certicate. An example can be found on the
Flow Center page: RAGK_Cert_example_2-2_test_report_E_D.
4.6.4 Option /PP: Pressure test report for measuring system
The instrument is pressurized with factor 1.6 above its nominal pressure (burst pressure test) and is
inspected for tightness. A result report regarding the test is delivered. An example can be found on
the Flow Center page: RAMC_Cert_PP_Pressure test report Certicate Example.
TI 01K01B04-01EN-R: 1st edition, April 01, 2020-00
4.6.5 Option /PT: Flow table for recalculation to other uid
In case of scale N and F, only mm graduation is on the tube. To “translate” the height in mm in ow
units, a recalculation table is required. This table shows the uid data the Rotameter is sized with.
On the left side of the table you nd the height of the oat in mm and the calibration conditions, and
on the left side the process uid.
Fig. 13 Sample of ow table
4.7 O-Rings
The small glass Rotameter are in standard equipped with Viton O-rings. However if other O-ring
material is requested, /NBR (NBR, trivial names: Buna or Perbunan) or /KAL (Kalrez) can be selected.
For RAGK O-rings are used in the valve and for the sealing of the tube.
For RAGL O-rings are only used in the valve. The tube is sealed with a PTFE press tting.
4.8 Float stop
The standard oat stoppers are made from PTFE. The standard oat stoppers can be exchanged with
spring SS stoppers via option /S1.
TI 01K01B04-01EN-R: 1st edition, April 01, 2020-00
At customer site, a suitable slot must be machined in the panel. The size of the slot is given in the GS.
Fig. 14 RAGK with option /QP Fig. 15 Panel mounting
Two of the parts marked in the drawing (see Fig. 15) with the “X” are delivered with the instrument.
The parts are inserted from the front as shown in the slot. The instrument is moved between the
parts and fastened with the 4 cross-head screws. Then the total construction is xed with the 2 long
screws from the back side at the panel.
4.9.2 Option /QB: With tapped holes in the connecting heads for mounting
These holes for M3 screws are for example used for the foot stand or to screw the means for the
panel mounting. They are offered for the case that the customer wants to establish his own xing of
the instrument. The detailed dimensions are given in the GS.
4.9.3 Option /QF: Foot stand
One possibility to x the instrument. The foot stand incorporates a level for proper adjustment of the
instrument. See also drawing in the GS
The valve knob has a removable cap for mounting. Normally it is black. This option provides a small
plastic bag with 4 caps in the colour red, blue, yellow, green to mark the valve knob. So in a row
installation different uids can be high visible marked by the colour of the knob cap.

4.10.2 Option /R3: Flow regulator for changing back-pressure
As described in the GS.
4.11 Country specic delivery
4.11.1 Option /KC: KC-Mark for Korea
This option is necessary for delivery to to Korea. The KC mark is printed on a sticker and attached to the
back side of the instrument. The equivalent certicates can be found on the Flow Center Page:
RAGK_Cert_Korea_KC-mark, RAGL_Cert_Korea_KC-mark.
Fig. 17 KC-Mark
4.11.2 Option /CN: China RoHS mark
This option is necessary for delivery of electrical equipment to China. It conrms the agreement with
Chinese RoHS regulations. The CN mark is printed on the name plate of the ring-initiator (/GR) or the
Reed-contact (/GM). The conformation is declared with a special IM which is delivered with the instrument. It can be found on the FlowCenter Pages in the category Instruction Manuals:
Rotameter_IM_option_CN_RoHS_IM01A01B01-00ZH-R.
Fig. 18 China RoHS mark
4.11.3 Option /VR: Pattern Approval for Russia
The pattern approval certicate can be found on the Flow Center Pages:
RAGN_RAGK_RAGL_RAQN_Pattern Approval_RU.
The approval mark is not printed or attached to the instrument.
When option /VR is selected for RAGL and RAGK, option /QR is also required.
TI 01K01B04-01EN-R: 1st edition, April 01, 2020-00
The calibration certicate is sent to a notied body registered in Russia together with a technical
passport.
The calibration rigs of RYG are approved by this notied body to be sufficient to do the primary verication. The notied body checks the calibration certicate and conrms the primary verication with a
stamp in the technical passport. The technical passport is resent to Rota Yokogawa and later delivered
with the instrument.
4.13 Power supply
The power supplies for the limit switches can be ordered with option /WA or /WB. These are available
with one or two channels.
