INSTALLATION DK37/M8 - H250/M8 3.1 Installation Installation and setup must be carried out according to the applicable installation installation standards (e.g. EN 60079-14) by qualified personnel trained in explosion protection. The information given in the Installation and Operation Instructions and the Supplementary Installation and Operation Instructions must always be observed.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK37/M8 - H250/M8 4.1 General notes The limit switch or electronic signal output with protection level "ia" or "ib" is electrically connected in the terminal compartment of the display housing. Permissible maximum values (electrical data) must be observed. Observe the specified polarities.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK37/M8 - H250/M8 Cable entries / Blanking plugs The variable area flowmeter is equipped as standard with a blanking plug and a cable entry. These elements guarantee protection from foreign bodies and water (protection type) IP65 as per EN 60529.
OPERATION DK37/M8 - H250/M8 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.
SERVICE DK37/M8 - H250/M8 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. For systems in hazardous areas, regular tests are required in order to maintain the proper condition.
