1.2 General description
This manual describes installation, operation and maintenance of the RAGN. Please read it carefully before using
this device.
Further, please note that customer features are not described in this manual. When modifying specications,
construction or parts, this manual is not necessarily revised unless it can be assumed that these changes will
impair RAGN functions or performance.
All units are thoroughly tested before shipping. Please check the received units visually to ensure that they
have not been damaged during transport. In case of defects or questions please contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA service centre or sales office. Please describe any defect precisely and indicate model code as
well as serial number.
YOKOGAWA refuses any liability for units which have been repaired by the user without prior consent and do
not meet the specications as a consequence.
1.3 Principle of measurement
A Rotameter measures the ow of liquids, gases and steam by using a oat inside a conical tube.
The gap between the tube and oat is larger at the top to allow a greater ow to pass through the meter. As gravity
works in a vertical orientation so the tube needs to be vertically oriented.
Rota Yokogawa developed the free rotating oat which stabilises its position in the centre of the cone to provide a
more stable ow measurement.
The medium passes through the metering tube from bottom to top and consequently rises the oat until there is an
annular gap between the inside surface of the metering tube and the oat and equilibrium of the following forces
has been achieved.
Buoyancy / Gravity / Friction force
The Rotameter principle is one of the oldest and mature principles in ow measurement. This mechanical principle
is as simple as it is reliable. The ow is indicated by the top of the oat and can be read from the standard scale on
the metering tube. The RAGN can be equipped with limit switches option /GR2 to /GR8 and /GM1 to /GM5.
All units are calibrated with water or air by the manufacturer. By adjusting the calibration values to the measured
substance’s state of aggregation (density, viscosity), the ow rate scale for each measuring tube can be determined.
When the process conditions have changed the scale is not accurate any longer and the glass tube needs to be
replaced.
1.4 Intended use
The RAGN is designed for the continuous ow measurement of liquids or gases and can be used in all industries.
Typical applications are:
- Visual uid monitoring
- Industrial gas measurement
- Controlling of water circuits
IM 01R01B10-00E-E 2nd edition: November 01, 2011-00

<3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION>
3.2 Bistable inductive ring sensor (Option /GR2 to /GR8)
The ring sensor type RI20 is intended for connection to glass Rotameters. It indicates whether the oat is
positioned above or below the sensor.
The oat must have ferromagnetic properties (e.g. a PVDF oat with iron core).
The device is offered into 3 versions:
Type Option Diameter of tube Possible oat (Yokogawa Code)
RI20-10 G /GR2, /GR6 10mm -PD B_N
RI20-17 K /GR3, /GR7 17mm -PD C_N
RI20-17 G /GR4, /GR8 17mm -PD D_N
The RI20 is bistable, i.e. if the oat is below the switch point, current consumption is always < 1 mA and it is
> 2.2 mA, if the oat is above the switch point. After power on or after power fail the RI20 shows
I < 1 mA. To nd the correct oat position the oat has to move once through the RI20.
It is intended for connection to a non-bistable isolation-switch amplier complying with DIN EN 50227
(NAMUR) (e.g. options /Wxx). With its plastic housing and its sealed-in electronic equipment, the RI20
meets the requirements for protection class IP67 and can also be operated safely in aggressive
atmospheres.
The RI20 is maintenance-free.
See chapter 6 "EXPLOSION PROTECTED TYPE INSTRUMENTS” for devices in ATEX version.
3.3 Magnetic contact (Option /GM1 to /GM5)
The limit switch is mounted to a Rotameter type RAGN, if a magnetic oat is used and indicates if the ow
falls below the set limit (MIN-contact) or exceeds the set limit (MAX-contact).
When reaching the switch point the Reed contact with bias by a permanent magnet opens when the oat
enters the alarm range. The Reed contact closes when the oat leaves the alarm range. Opened or closed
the Reed contact remains because of its bistability in its position no matter how far the oat moves away.
Due to the low switch output of the Reed contact (max, 10 VA/(W), max. 0.5 A, max. 230 V AC) a
transformer isolated barrier (e.g. option /Wxx) should be connected to the GM.
IM 01R01B10-00E-E 2nd edition: November 01, 2011-00
All packaging material must be removed. The transportation lock for the oat must be removed.
The piping shall be ushed before installing the owmeter. Piping must be dried for gas applications. Rotameters must be installed vertically. The ow direction is from bottom to top. Prevent the device from mechani-
cal stress and vibration by aligning and supporting the piping. Avoid large volumes of gas downstream and
upstream of the device, this can cause vibration due to compression. Install the On/Off valve downstream in order
to avoid
damage when opening the valve. In case of gas applications, increase the ow pressure slowly. Avoid pressure
surges and temperature shocks to the owmeter at any time.
Refer to the pressure and temperature limits of the device. For owmeters with limit switches please see
chapter 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5.
Further installation hints can be found in VDI/VDE 3513 sheet 3.
Commissioning:
When functioning properly, the oat moves freely in the ow. With oats with notches this can be easily seen
by their rotation. If the oat does not move, please check the installation.
The ow rate can be read directly from the scale on the tube. Refer to the scale mark to which the oat adjusts
its top edge when reading.
Maintenance:
With common applications and normal operating conditions the device is maintenance free. In case of soiling
we recommend to clean the measuring tube by using a bottle brush and soap water. Make sure not to scratch
the measuring tube. If oat or measuring tube show signs of wear and tear, we recommend replacing them.

IM 01R01B10-00E-E 2nd edition: November 01, 2011-00
The contents of this appendix are cited from exida.com safety manual on the Rotameter RAGN Flowmeter
specically observed for the safety transmitter purpose. When using the RAGN for Safety Instrumented
Systems (SIS) application, the instructions and procedures in this section must be strictly followed in order
to preserve the meter for that safety level.
A1.1 Scope and Purpose
This document provides an overview of the user responsibilities for installation and operation of the Rota
Yokogawa RAGN variable area ow meter, herein referred to as RAGN Glass Rotameter, in order to maintain
the designed safety level. Items that will be addressed are proof testing, repair and replacement of the ow
meter, reliability data, lifetime, environmental and application limits, and parameter settings.
A1.2 Using RAGN for a SIS Application
A1.2.1 Safety Function
Suitable for use in Safety Instrumented Systems are the versions listed in table 1 only. The safety related data
listed in this manual does not apply to other versions of RAGN.
Table 1 Versions of RAGN suitable for Safety Instrumented Systems
[V1]RAGN with Reed-switch(es)
[V2]RAGN with Ring Initiator, fail-safe state: LOW
[V3]RAGN with Ring Initiator, fail-safe state: HIGH
This variable area ow meter is intended for use as a volume ow monitoring component in a Safety
Instrumented System. It has either inductive ring sensors [V2], [V3] or magnetic reed contacts [V1] to indicate
limits. The ow meter may be used with the limit switches to feed signals to a logic solver that is part of the
safety instrumented function (SIF) as shown in Figure 1. The fault annunciation mechanism is a trip of one
of the limit switches. In order to take credit for the automatic diagnostics in the ow meter, this annunciation
mechanism must be connected.
Any valve delivered together with RAGN Glass Rotameter is not covered by the assessment.

A1-2
<A1. SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS INSTALLATION>
A1.2.2 Diagnostic Response Time
There is neither diagnostic in the magnetic reed contacts [V1] nor in the inductive ring sensors [V2], [V3].
A1.2.3 Setup
A setup of the ow meter is not required. Installation shall be done according to the manual.
Precautions for use of ring sensors [V2], [V3] in Safety Instrumented Functions:
The high output current should be used as the preferred “safe state”. Therefore to achieve highest reliability of
the system, the orientation of the ring sensors should be set according to the application to set high current
as safe state. For more information on assembly see User’s Manual, Model RAGN Glass Rotameter,
IM 01R01B10-00E-E.
A1.2.4 Proof Testing
The objective of proof testing is to detect failures within the ow meter. Of main concern are undetected
failures that prevent the safety instrumented function from performing its intended function.
The frequency of the proof tests (or the proof test interval) is to be determined in the reliability calculations
for the safety instrumented functions for which the ow meter is applied. The actual proof tests must be
performed more frequently or as frequently as specied in the calculation in order to maintain required safety
integrity of the safety instrumented function.
The following tests need to be specically executed when a proof test is performed. The results of the proof
test need to be documented and this documentation should be part of a plant safety management system.
Failures that are detected should be reported to Yokogawa.
Proof test for RAGN Glass Rotameter with magnetic contacts and inductive ring sensors:
StepAction
1Take appropriate action to avoid a false trip
2Inspect the device for any visible damage, corrosion or contamination.
3aForce the RAGN Glass Rotameter to reach a dened “MAX” threshold value and verify that the
magnetic contact or inductive ring initiator goes into the safe state.
Note: only applicable if RAGN is equipped with a “MAX” contact.
3bForce the RAGN Glass Rotameter to reach a dened “MIN” threshold value and verify that the
magnetic contact or inductive ring initiator goes into the safe state.
Note: only applicable if RAGN is equipped with a “MIN” contact.
4Restore the loop to full operation
5Restore normal operation
When all the tests listed above are executed a proof test coverage of approximately 99% of possible DU
failures in the RAGN Glass Rotameter can be claimed.
The following tools need to be available to perform proof testing:
Measurement instrument to verify output status of the magnetic reed contacts [V1] or inductive ring sensors
[V2], [V3]
The person(s) performing the proof test of the Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter should be trained in SIS
operations including bypass procedures, ow meter maintenance and company management of change
procedures.
A1.2.5 Repair and replacement
Maintenance information can be found in section Service of the User’s Manual, Model RAGN Glass
Rotameter, IM 01R01B10-00E-E.
If repair is to be performed with the process online the Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter will need to
be bypassed during the repair. The user should setup appropriate bypass procedures for that.
Contact the Yokogawa sales office if this instrument requires repair
The person(s) performing the repair and / or replacement of the Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter
should have a sufficient skill level.
IM 01R01B10-00E-E 2nd edition: November 01, 2011-00
The ow meter will generate a valid signal within 0.5 seconds of power-on startup.
A1.2.7 Reliability data
A detailed Failure Mode, Effects, and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) report is available from Rota Yokogawa
with all failure rates and failure modes. Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter is intended for use in a Low
Demand Mode. Low Demand Mode means the average interval between dangerous conditions occurs
infrequently.
The Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter is certied up to SIL1 for use in a simplex (1oo1) conguration,
depending on the PFDAVG calculation of the entire Safety Instrumented Function.
A1.2.8 Lifetime limits
The expected lifetime of the Yokogawa Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter is 10 years. The reliability
data listed in A1.2.7 is only valid for this period. The failure rates of the Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass
Rotameter may increase sometime after this period. Reliability calculations based on the data listed in A1.2.7
for Rota Yokogawa RAGN Glass Rotameter lifetimes beyond 10 years may yield results that are too optimistic,
i.e. the calculated Safety Integrity Level will not be achieved.
A1.2.9 Environmental limits
The environmental limits of Rota Yokogawa RAGN variable area ow meter are specied in the User’s
Manual, Model RAGN Glass Rotameter, IM 01R01B10-00E-E.
A1.2.10 Application limits
The application limits of the Rota Yokogawa RAGN variable area ow meter are specied in the User’s
Manual, Model RAGN Glass Rotameter, IM 01R01B10-00E-E. If the ow meter is used outside of the
application limits the reliability data listed in A1.2.7 becomes invalid.
