SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OPTISWIRL 4070 Warnings and symbols used DANGER! This information refers to the immediate danger when working with electricity. DANGER! These warnings must be observed without fail. Even partial disregard of this warning can lead to serious health problems and even death. There is also the risk of seriously damaging the device or parts of the operator's plant.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.1 Scope of delivery INFORMATION! Inspect the cartons carefully for damage or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer. INFORMATION! Check the packing list to check if you received completely all that you ordered.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.2 Transport • Use lifting straps wrapped around both process connections for transport. • Do not lift measuring devices by the signal converter housing for transport. • Never lift the measuring device by the pressure sensor. • Do not use lifting chains as they may damage the housing.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3 Installation conditions INFORMATION! For accurate volumetric flow measurement the measuring device needs a completely filled pipe and a fully developed flow profile. Please observe the instructions regarding inlet and outlet pipe runs as well as the installation position.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3.1 Measurement of liquids Prohibited installation Prohibited installation Prohibited installation Prohibited installation Figure 2-3: Upper pipe bend CAUTION! Prohibited: Installing the device in an upper pipe bend 1, because there is a risk of gas bubbles 2 forming. Gas bubbles can lead to pressure surges and inaccurate measurement.

INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 Recommended installations for measurement of liquids Recommended installations for measurement of liquids Recommended installations for measurement of liquids Recommended installations for measurement of liquids CAUTION! It is absolutely necessary to comply with the required inlet and outlet runs.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3.2 Measurement of vapours and gases Prohibited installation 1 Lower pipe bends 2 Condensate DANGER! Prohibited: Installing the device in a lower pipe bend 1, because there is a risk of condensate forming 2. Condensate can lead to cavitation and inaccurate measurement. Under certain circumstances the device can be destroyed and the measured product can leak.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3.3 Pipelines with control valve INFORMATION! To ensure smooth and correct measurement, the manufacturer recommends not installing the measuring device downstream from a control valve. This would run the risk of vortex formation, which would distort the measuring result.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3.5 Turning the connection housing DANGER! All work on the device electrics may only be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. The regional occupational health and safety directives must always be observed. CAUTION! Do not damage the electrical cable by overtwisting it.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3.6 Turning the display DANGER! All work on the device electrics may only be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. The regional occupational health and safety directives must always be observed. INFORMATION! If the measuring device is installed in a vertical pipe, you will have to turn the display by 90 ;...
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.3.7 Heat insulation CAUTION! The area above the converter support must not be heat-insulated. The heat insulation 3 may only extend to the maximum height 1 shown below up to the connecting screws of the measuring sensor.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.4 Inlet and outlet runs 2.4.1 Minimum inlet runs 1 General inlet run without disturbing flow ≥ 20 DN 2 Behind a control valve ≥ 50 DN 3 After a pipe diameter reduction ≥ 20 DN 1 After a single bend 90° ≥ 20 DN 2 After a double bend 2x90°...
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.4.2 Minimum outlet runs Figure 2-9: Minimum outlet runs 1 Upstream of pipe expanders, pipe bends, control valves, etc. ≥ 5 DN 2 Upstream of metering points ≥ 5…6 DN INFORMATION! The interior of the pipe at the metering points must be free of burrs and other flow impediments.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.5 Installation 2.5.1 General installation notes CAUTION! Installation, assembly, start-up and maintenance may only be performed by appropriately trained personnel. The regional occupational health and safety directives must always be observed. The following procedures have to be carried out before installing the device: •...
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.5.2 Installing devices in flange design Figure 2-13: Installing devices in flange design 1 Gasket 2 Bolts with fixing nuts • Use bolts and fastening nuts 2 to attach the measuring device to one side of the flange.
INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 4070 2.5.3 Installing devices in sandwich design Figure 2-14: Installation using centering ring 1 Measuring sensor 2 Centering ring 3 Bolts with fixing nuts 4 Hole 5 Hole 6 Gasket • Push the first bolt 3 through the hole 5 of both flanges.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 4070 3.1 Safety instructions DANGER! Only perform work on the electrical connections in the de-energized state. Take note of the voltage data on the nameplate! DANGER! Observe national installation regulations! CAUTION! All work on the flowmeter electrics may only be carried out by appropriately trained personnel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 4070 3.3 Electrical connection of current and pulse output • Current output: Current output: Current output: Current output: In some cases, a shielded or twisted cable may be necessary. The cable shield may only be earthed (grounded) at one place (on the power supply unit).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 4070 3.4 Grounding connections The grounding can be done either by connecting the PE terminal in the housing or the PE terminal on the connection piece between measuring sensor and signal converter. Both of these electrical connections are equally effective from a technical point of view.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 4070 3.5 Protection category The measuring device meets all requirements of protection category IP66/67. CAUTION! After all servicing and maintenance work on the device, the specified protection category has to be ensured again. Figure 3-4: Cable feedthrough Therefore it is essential to observe the following points: •...
