Original Document The manual TERZ94_manual_en_09a from 2017 November, 20 for the electronic gas meter TERZ 94 is the document translated first from the German original version. Anyhow, this document may serve as reference for translations into other languages. Please use in case of any uncertainties the German version as main reference.
Therefore, the meter is characterized by long-term stability and low wear. The TERZ 94 / 94-S is provided with HF and LF outputs which allow the device to be used as a flow transducer for control applications and remote transmission.
Block diagram TERZ 94 In the display field of the TERZ 94 (not with the TERZ 94-S), a start-stop totalizer or a resettable totalizer can be optionally displayed. Through the free sensor input X5, either the volume metering of the start-stop totalizer is interrupted or the resettable totalizer is reset (depending on the programming of the TERZ 94).

........................................... TERZ 94-S The TERZ 94-S volumeter has a current-loop connection (X2_0 with current module TERZ94trm) which serves as power supply and 4 to 20 mA current output at the same time. For this purpose, a power supply unit is required which is to be connected to this output.
The TERZ 94 / 94-S complies with currently applicable standards and regulations. However, failure to operate them properly may cause hazards. Persons who install or operate the TERZ 94 / 94-S volumeter in areas subject to explosion hazards, must be familiar with the currently applicable explosion protection standards and regulations.

Servicing and maintenance The battery may only be changed in a non-incendive area. This device may be repaired only by RMG Messtechnik. Modifications to the product Changes or modifications made to this product by unauthorized persons may lead to incorrect malfunctions and are prohibited for safety reasons! In this case the [ATEX] approval will be no longer valid.
INSTALLATION ........................................... Installation Operating conditions Permissible types of gases The standard design of the TERZ 94 or TERZ 94-S can be used for all non-corrosive gases, such as Natural gas Town gas Argon Methane Helium Ethane Carbon dioxide (dry) Propane...
⋅ mbar Therefore, the pressure loss ∆p with a volumeter of the type TERZ 94 is 5.5 mbar in this case. Installation The gas flow must be free of shocks and pulsations as well as free of foreign particles, dust and liquids.
........................................... Seals It must be guaranteed that flange seals of RMG turbine meters do not protrude from the flange into the gas line. All seals approved as per DVGW can be used depending on the requirements for stability and reli- ability.

The supply/current-loop (TERZ 94-S only) is connected to the terminals X22 on the transmitter board TERZ94trm. In areas subject to explosion hazards, the TERZ 94 must only be connected to certified intrinsically safe circuits. Make sure that the limiting values from the conformity certificate (see appendix) for the devices, which have to be connected, are not exceeded.

In the case of the TERZ 94-S, terminal X22 (on current module TERZ94trm which is plugged in the main card) is used as current-loop connection to supply the device and as output current (4- 20 mA).
Use 2-core or multicore shielded cables which are twisted together in pairs for the signal lines (LF output, HF output, current-loop connection, control input). The shielding must always be connected to earth on both sides. In the case of the TERZ 94, you must proceed as described in the chapter “Cable glands”.
• Push the cable end through the cap nut and the clamping piece and bend the shielding backwards. • Put the clamping piece back into the connecting piece. • Screw on the cap nut again.

X_TERZ90 Sensor If your TERZ 94 is designed for remote totalizing, you can install the totalizing unit at a distance of up to 50 m from the meter case. Usually, the cable has already been connected to the totalizing unit when the TERZ 94 is delivered. Should this not be the case, you will have to connect the connecting cable to Input-terminal X5, clamp S1+ and clamp S1- of the board.
........................................... Start-up Connecting the gas flow Do not fill any downstream pipelines or station sections through the TERZ 94. This may speed up the turbine wheel and lead to excessively high flow rates with resultant damage. Short-time overload operation of 20% above the maximum flow rate Q is permissible.
After the preset display wake-up time has elapsed, the main totalizer will appear again. If the display of the TERZ 94 does not show anything, the device is in energy-saving mode. In this mode, the display is switched off. However, incoming pulses are processed and the outputs are set.

........................................... Programming For programming the TERZ 94 / 94-S, there are four buttons on the rear side of the board. Alternatively, you can program the device with the programming module. The programming module is to be connected to the pin connector indicated in the picture below.
