FEP630, FEH630 ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER | OI/FEP630/FEH630-EN REV. D

Intended use

This device is intended for the following uses:
• For the transmission of fluid, pulpy or pasty measuring
media with electrical conductivity.
• For volume flow measurement (in operating conditions).
• For mass flow measurement (based on a non-adjustable
density value).
The device has been designed for use exclusively within the
technical limit values indicated on the identification plate and in
the data sheets.
When using measuring media, the following points must be
observed:
• Wetted parts such as measuring electrodes, liner,
grounding electrodes, grounding plates or protection
plates must not be damaged by the chemical and physical
properties of the measuring medium during the
operating time.
• Measuring media with unknown properties or abrasive
measuring media may only be used if the operator is able
to perform regular and suitable tests to ensure the safe
condition of the device
• The indications on the name plate must be observed
• Before use of corrosive or abrasive measuring media, the
operator must clarify the level of resistance of wetted
parts.
ABB will gladly support you in the selection, but cannot
accept any liability in doing so.

Improper use

The following are considered to be instances of improper use of
the device:
• Operation as a flexible compensating adapter in piping,
for example for compensating pipe offsets, pipe
vibrations, pipe expansions, etc.
• For use as a climbing aid, for example for mounting
purposes.
• For use as a bracket for external loads, for example as a
support for piping, etc.
• Material application, for example by painting over the
housing, name plate or welding/soldering on parts.
• Material removal, for example by spot drilling the
housing.

Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Note
• An additional document with Ex safety instructions is
available for measuring systems that are used in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
• Ex safety instructions are an integral part of this manual. As
a result, it is crucial that the installation guidelines and
connection values it lists are also observed.
The icon on the name plate indicates
the following:
