Ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired up according to the wiring diagrams. The flowmeter is to be grounded. Repairs, Dangerous Chemicals The following procedures must be carried out before a Magphant is sent to Endress+Hauser for repair: •...
1. System description 1.1 Areas of application The Magphant flow monitor provides the plant system with the information needed on flowrate in the piping. The magnetic-inductive measuring principle determines the flow velocity of the conductive liquid at the tip of the sensor. Exceeding the preset switchpoint (limit value) is indicated by a relay contact.
1. System description Magphant 1.3 Measuring system design A construction overview of the Magphant measuring system is shown in the diagram below. Housing cover can be unscrewed. After opening the cover, operating and dis- play elements as well as the terminal block are easily accessible.
2. Mounting and Installation 2. Mounting and Installation 2.1 Protection type IP 66 (DIN 40050) The Magphant fulfils all the requirements for IP 66. Caution! After successful installation in the field or after replacing an instrument, the following points must always be observed in order to ensure protection to IP 66: •...
Orientation in the piping The Magphant is best mounted in vertical piping. If the piping runs horizontally, then the Magphant is to be mounted to the side. This mounting procedure ensures that the electrodes are always immersed in flowing fluid.
Magphant 2. Mounting and Installation 2.4 Mounting in steel piping The Magphant is mounted in steel piping using the weld stub supplied. Two different versions are available, depending on nominal diameter: Weld stub for DN 25 For DN 25 piping, the weld stub has the appropriate radius to match the diameter.
3. Tighten the union nut a further approx. turn with a open-ended wrench size 36 mm. Caution! When inserting the Magphant into a weld stub, care must be taken so that the sensor tip is not damaged. Union nut Wrench size 36 mm Wrench size 27 mm Fig.

3. Electrical Connection Magphant Potential equalization The Magphant should be connected to ground via the ground terminal at the housing to ensure complete electromagnetic compatibility. Note! Take care that the ground cable is kept as short as possible. 4 mm Cu wire Fig.
The same function as for "limit", but in addition: The relay de-energises if the flow rate is larger than the measurable value of the Magphant or if an instrument error occurs. The red LED flashes. "Error" has higher priority than "limit".

4. Operation Magphant Functions of the operating and display elements Operating and display element Description of function (factory setting) Min./max. fail-safe setting Maximum fail-safe: The relay de-energises if the signal rises above the limit value. The red LED lights up.
2 mA 5.2 Checking the electronics The Magphant can be set to a test mode using miniature switch No. 1: Test mode 1. Set test mode switch to "test". 2. Turn the full-scale potentiometer anticlockwise until it comes to the mechanical stop, the current output must now be exactly 20 mA.
5. Troubleshooting and Remedies Magphant 5.3 Replacing the electronics module Warning! Switch off the power supply before unscrewing the cover to the electronics compartment. Carefully remove the Remove excitation electronics module current cable plug Unplug the electrode signal cable plug Fig.
