Safety Instructions Correct Usage • The Promag 31 is only to be used for measuring the flow of conductive fluids. • The Promag 31 flowmeter is designed and checked according to the regulations in force EN 61010 “Protection Measures for Electronic Measuring Equipment”). The flowmeter may be dangerous if it is not used for the purpose it was designed for or is used incorrectly.
For the exact calculation of the energy used in heating and cooling circulations heat counter do their work. Part of a heat counter is the hydraulic transmitter Promag 31. It registers the flow volume of the heat, resp. refrigerating transfer medium.
The Promag measuring system is fully modular, both mechanically and electrically. The equipment can be extended by exchanging electronic boards. Thus the measur- ing point can be optimally equipped and extended. The illustration below gives an overview of the complete Promag 31 measuring system. Sensor...

Promag 31 2. Mounting and Installation 2. Mounting and Installation Caution! Pay consistent attention to the notes in this chapter regarding • Type of protection • Temperature ranges • Mounting to assure reliable measurement. 2.1 General hints Type of protection IP 67 (EN 60529) The equipment fulfils all requirements of IP 67.
2. Mounting and Installation Promag 31 2.2 Transport instructions for Promag from > DN 350 / 14" Transportation to the installation point The pipe coating on the flanges is protected from damage by protective disks during transportation to the installation point. These are to be removed before installation.

Promag 31 2. Mounting and Installation Base of the sensor The sensor should stand on a base which is sufficiently strong to withstand its weight. Fig. 10 Note! The sensor must not be supported by the sheet casing! This can buckle the casing and dam- age the internal magnetic coils.
Please pay attention to the following hints, in order that you may measure correctly and avoid damage to the equipment. Electrode axis The plane in which the electrode axis lies Measuring electrodes with regard to the Promag 31 measuring transmitter is identical for the measuring sensors A and F. Electrode axis Fig.
Page 15
Promag 31 should preferably be installed in the cooler backflow for heat measurement, respectively in the foreflow for refrigerated measurement. Promag 31 should be placed between 2 blockage and control units (see installation scheme on page 5). Fig. 16 Partly filled pipes For inclines a mounting similar to a drain should be adopted.

2. Mounting and Installation Promag 31 Mounting Promag 31 F Lengths and dimensions See chapter 6.1 “Dimensions and weights” Mounting The sensor is mounted between the flanges of the pipe (Fig. 22). Since the lining of the measuring pipe is drawn on over the sensor flange, it performs the sealing func- tion at the same time.

Promag 31 2. Mounting and Installation Replacement measuring electrodes • left side: Type DN 1350...2000 • right side: Type DN 350...1200 Fig. 23 The Promag F Type DN 350...DN 2000 is available with replacement electrodes. This version enables the measuring electrodes to be cleaned or replaced under process conditions.
2. Mounting and Installation Promag 31 2.5 Turning the transmitter housing (compact version) In the compact version the transmitter housing can be rotated in steps of 90° relative to the sensor. This enables the unit to be adapted to suit the various mounting positions in the pipe.
Cable length L Fig. 26 Fixing the wall holder/Stamped lead seal Stamped lead seal for compact version (Promag 31 F for example) The lids of the electronics housing, e.g. connection housing of Promag 31 F (blind and display version) are Factory sealing leaded separately.
Reference electrode therefore sufficient to connect the earthing terminal of the Promag 31 trans- mitter housing to the potential equali- sing line. Fig. 28 With the remote-mounted version this connection is made at the earth terminal of the connection housing (transmitter).
2.8 Earthing in an area with severe interference In order to make the most of the electro- magnetic compatibility (EMC) of the Promag 31, it is advisable to provide two flange-to-flange links and to con- nect them jointly with the transmitter housing to earth potential.

Promag 31 3. Electrical Connection 3. Electrical Connection 3.1 General information Please note the information in section 2.1 on maintenance of the type of protection IP 67. 3.2 Connection to the transmitter Warning! • Risk of electric shock. Install or wire the unit when it is not live. Failure to comply can also result in damage to electronic components.
3. Electrical Connection Promag 31 3.3 Connection of the remote-mounted version (FS) Procedure: Caution! Only connect or disconnect the coil-current cable when the supply is switched off. 1. The connection to the terminal compartment is made as described for the compact version (see section 3.2).
Capacitance: core/screen ≤120 pF/m Cable specifications for use in areas with severe electrical interference The Promag 31 measuring equipment fulfils all general requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) according to EN 50081 Part 1 and 2 / EN 50082 Part 1 and 2 when installed in accordance with the NAMUR recommendations.

The current at zero flow (Q = 0) can be set to 0 or 4 mA. The current for the full-scale value is always 20 mA. Extension to 25 mA is possible (≥125 % of the full-scale value). The hydraulic transmitter Promag 31 is always bidirectional (i.e. it always measures in both directions).
Page 34
Therefore it is possible to extend to 25 mA up to a medium velocity of 10 m/s (see Fig. 39). For the Promag 31 measuring system eight preset pulse-value steps can be selected in terms of the nominal diameter. Setting is made by means of three miniature switches (see section 4.2).
Promag 31 4. Operation and Commissioning 4.2 Setting unit parameters with miniature switches Warning! Danger of electric shock. Switch off the supply voltage before you unscrew the cover of the electronic compartment of the transmitter housing. Procedure: 1. Loosen the screws of the safety grip (3 mm Allen key).
