ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK32 - DK34 - DK37 4.5.1 Power supply INFORMATION! The supply voltage has to be between 14.8VDC and 30VDC. This is based on the total resistance of the measuring loop. To determine this, add up the resistances of each component in the measuring loop (not including the meter).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK32 - DK34 - DK37 4.6 Ground connections The earthing can be done on the head piece of the measuring section (M4 threaded hole) Figure 4-7: Ground connections 1 Earth connection on the measuring section DANGER! The earth conductor must not transfer any interference voltage.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK32 - DK34 - DK37 4.7 Protection category The flowmeter meets all requirements of protection category IP 65. DANGER! After all servicing and maintenance work on the flowmeter, the specified protection category has to be ensured again. Therefore it is essential to observe the following points: •...
START-UP DK32 - DK34 - DK37 5.1 Standard device CAUTION! When starting up the device, the following points must be observed: Compare the actual operating pressure and the product temperature of the system with the • specifications on the nameplate (PS and TS). These specifications may not be exceeded.
SERVICE DK32 - DK34 - DK37 6.1 Maintenance Within the scope of routine maintenance of the system and pipelines, the flowmeter should also be inspected for signs of fouling, corrosion, mechanical wear and leaks, as well as damage to the measuring tube and indicator.
SERVICE DK32 - DK34 - DK37 6.2 Spare parts availability The manufacturer adheres to the basic principle that functionally adequate spare parts for each device or each important accessory part will be kept available for a period of 3 years after delivery of the last production run for the device.
