Proper use Safety □ Use flowmeters of the OME series solely for flow measurement of lubricating liquids that are chemi- cally neutral and do not contain any gas or solids content. □ Flowmeters require the operation with clean liquids. If coarse contamination, solid particles in the liquid or abrasive fine particles occur during operation, the flowmeter has to be protected additionally by a correspondingly dimensioned operating filter in the pipe system, see "Protect the flowmeter...

Operating limits Operating limits Technical data The values specified on the rating plate and the calibration certificate apply. The permissible operating limits of individual values influence each other so that every application is checked individually by the manufacturer when selecting the flowmeter. If no operating data are provided by the orderer, standardized substitute operating data are used.
Noise levels Substitute operating data The following table shows standardized values for the flow rate, temperature and viscosity. These values can be used at the same time as maximum values without impairing the service life of the flowmeter. In addition, the operating limits of the corresponding end connection, of the sealing material and of the connection box or Smart Solution electronic unit are to be observed.
Dimensions and weights CAUTION Defective connection box/Smart Solution electronic unit or cabling due to exceeding of the maximum temperature. ► Do not heat the connection box/Smart Solution electronic unit and corresponding cables above the maximum temperature. ► Observe the values in the corresponding table, see Tab. 7, page 14. ►...

Description Description Function description Fig. 1 Structure of the flowmeter OME series (principle diagram) 1 Connection 4 Ball bearing 2 Connection box/ 5 Measuring housing Smart Solution electronic unit 6 Measuring screw large 3 Measuring screw small Flowmeters belong to the group of rotating displacement meters as screw meters. The liquid current makes the measuring unit rotate.
The signals of the sensors are converted into rectangular impulses in the robust connection box. The phase-offset signal and the incremental encoding inputs available in an external KRAL electronic unit can determine the direction of flow and take it into consideration when calculating the total values. The connection box is equipped additionally with a temperature sensor.
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Transportation, storage and disposal 1. On delivery unpack the flowmeter and check for damage during transportation. 2. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer. 3. Dispose of packing material in accordance with the locally applicable regulations. Lifting the flowmeter WARNING Risk of injury and/or damage to equipment should the flowmeter fall.
Disposal Notice: Store the preserved flowmeter cool and dry and protect it against direct sunlight. Notice: After a longer storage time the manufacturer recommends a recalibration of the flowmeter, see "Recali- bration of the flowmeters", page 26. Removing the preservation Aids: □...

Installing the flowmeter CAUTION Measuring error through air in the pipe system and/or incorrect installation of the flowmeter. ► In the case of horizontal installation of the flowmeter at the highest point of the pipe system an air pocket can arise that results in measuring errors. ►...
Electrical connection 1. Remove the protective covers and store them. 2. Install the flowmeter stress-free in the circular pipeline. Take the preferred flow direction into consi- deration and ensure that the connection of the connection box or Smart Solution electronic unit remains accessible 3.
Removing the flowmeter Removing the flowmeter Prerequisite: □ System switched off Aids: □ Vessels for leaking pumped liquid WARNING Risk of injury through hot surface of the flowmeter. ► Wear personal protective equipment and/or let the device cool down to the ambient temperature. WARNING Risk of injury through emitted hot, poisonous or corrosive pumped liquid when removing the flowme- ter.
Commissioning Commissioning Operation Cleaning the pipe system Notice: Soiling in the pipe system impairs the service life of the flowmeter. In order to protect the flowmeter against soiling the manufacturer generally recommends the installation of an operating filter. Notice: Through the calibration, the internal components of the flowmeter are wetted with calibration liquid. If required, use an appropriate solvent to flush the flowmeter.
During operation CAUTION Measuring error through gas inclusion in the pipe system. ► Before commissioning, make sure that the flowmeter is filled. ► Deaerate the pipe system. CAUTION Increased wear and/or blocking of the flowmeter due to solid particles or abrasive fine particles in the liquid.
