It is important to pay attention to the descriptions of the operation manual during the installation process. It is generally recommended to ask the RMG Service for any installation or removal. After working on pressurized components, a control of leaks must be carried out.
• Possible dangers are, e.g., components under pressure or the result of incorrect installation. • Recognize dangers that could be caused by the used flow medium. • Training / education by RMG for working with gas measuring instruments. • Education / instruction in all country-specific standards and directives to be observed for work that is to be carried out on the device.
The TRZ03 subjects to risks in its use, which were judged by qualified staff of the company RMG. Risks may arise due to high pressures, more rarely by too low. Even work outside the permissible temperature range can lead to danger. Invalid current and voltage values can trigger explosions in hazardous areas.
This manual describes the turbine meter TRZ03. The TRZ03 is only a part of a complete on-site system. Observe also the instructions of other components of the site system. If you find contradicting instructions, please contact RMG. Notice Make sure that the performance of the power connector corresponds to the data on the nameplate.

1.3 Overview, Function and Application The TRZ 03 turbine meters are flow meters which can be used for custody transfer metering. Or more precisely for measuring the volume at measurement conditions of non-aggressive gases and fuel gases. The TRZ 03-K turbine meter can only be used for secondary metering.

EN 437:2009 for test gases. The following instructions must be observed: Notice The RMG TRZ 03 und TRZ 03-K can be operated in any mounting orientation up to DN200, from the DN 250 is a horizontal orientation is required. If a mounting orientation is specified when ordering, the meter has to be installed in this orientation.
The totalizer (Vo) can be transmitted digitally to a flow computer. The necessary pressure and temperature values can be recorded in the pr connection (pressure) and via one (or more) temperature sensors in the immersion pocket. Manual TRZ 03· EN08 2018 September, 10th...

3.6 Pulse transmitters The TRZ 03 und TRZ 03-K K turbine meters provide different sensors which sup- ply volume pulses in a variety of frequency ranges. These pulses can be further processed by volume correctors or remote totalizers, for example.
3.6.1 Connecting additional devices The meter heads of the RMG TRZ 03 and TRZ 03K turbine meters are fitted with a reed contact as standard. The pulse value corresponds to the rotation rate U Notice See the indicating plate on the meter head for exact frequency data.
The two wheels are arranged in such a way that two pulse series of the same frequency are generated which are out of phase by 180°. Notice The exact frequency is determined during meter proving and is stated on a supplementary data plate on the meter housing. Manual TRZ 03· EN08 2018 September, 10th...
