SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS H250 M9 1.1 General notes These additional instructions apply to explosion-protected versions of variable area flowmeters with electrical built-ins and the marking Ex ia IIC T1 - T6 Gb. They complete the installation and operation instructions for the non-explosion protected versions.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.1 Device description Variable area flowmeters measure and display the volume flow of flammable and non- flammable gases and liquids. Depending on the device version, electrical limit switch contacts and a 4...20 mA signal output or a Profibus PA interface can be installed in the display.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.3 Marking Type designation of the complete unit is shown on the indicator with the nameplates reproduced below (see also description code). 1 Device type 2 Manufacturer 3 Sizing data: temperature & pressure rating 4 PED data...
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.4 Flammable products Atmospheric conditions: Atmospheric conditions: Atmospheric conditions: Atmospheric conditions: An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts under atmospheric conditions. The following values define it = -20...+60°C / -4...+140°F and P = 0.8...1.1 bar.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes Due to the influence of the product temperature, variable area flowmeters with built-in electrical equipment (electric variants) are not assigned to any fixed temperature class. The temperature class of these devices is rather a function of the product temperature and ambient temperature that is present and the specific device version.

INSTALLATION H250 M9 3.1 Installation Installation and setup must be carried out according to the applicable installation standards by qualified personnel trained in explosion protection. Variable area flowmeters must be installed in such a way that • There is no danger from mechanical impact effects.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS H250 M9 4.1 General notes The connecting cables should be selected according to the applicable installation standards and the maximum operating temperature. The outside diameter of the connecting cables must be matched to the sealing area of the conduit entry/entries. The connecting cables must be laid and fastened securely in such a way that they are adequately protected against damage.
OPERATION H250 M9 5.1 Start-up Start-up is only permitted when the variable-area flowmeter: • is correctly installed in the system and connected. • has been checked for the proper state with regard to its installation and connection requirements. The user of the system must be have it checked before start-up in compliance with the national regulations for checks before start-up.
SERVICE H250 M9 6.1 Maintenance Maintenance work of a safety-relevant nature within the meaning of explosion protection may only be carried out by the manufacturer, his authorised representative or under the supervision of authorised inspectors. To maintain proper condition, regular inspections are required for systems in hazardous areas.
