1.3.2 The FLOWSIC600-XT measuring system is used for measuring the actual volumetric flow rate of gases transported in pipelines. Apart from that, the FLOWSIC600-XT can also deter- mine the actual corrected volume and the sound velocity. Separate counters are available to determine the gas volume depending on the flow direction.
European Directive 2014/68/EC for pressure equip- ment. Restrictions of use 1.3.5 Check the FLOWSIC600-XT is suitably equipped for your application (e.g., gas conditions). NOTICE: ▸ The operator must ensure that the upper/lower limit values shown on the type plate are not overflown or underflown in operation.
Only use the FLOWSIC600-XT as described in these Operating Instructions. The manu- facturer bears no responsibility for any other use. ▸ Do not carry out any work or repairs on the FLOWSIC600-XT not described in these Operating Instructions. ▸ Do not remove, add or change any components in or on the FLOWSIC600-XT unless such changes are officially allowed and specified by the manufacturer.
Integrated pressure and temperature sensor - geometry correction via pressure 2.2.4 and temperature As an option, the FLOWSIC600-XT has an integrated pressure and temperature sensor. This sensor measures the process parameters gas pressure and gas temperature at the same time.
Correction outside the FLOWSIC600-XT electronics (volume converter) 2.2.4.2 When automatic geometry correction of the FLOWSIC600-XT is not desired, correction can be performed in the volume converter according to the following formulas (→ Fig. 3). The fixed values for pressure and temperature p...
FLOWSIC600-XT FLOWSIC600-XT 2plex 2.3.2 The FLOWSIC600-XT 2plex is a very compact combination of a gas flow meter for custody transfer applications with a control measuring device, and provides advanced diagnostics functionality with an additional independent measuring path. With their different path designs and the resulting difference in sensitivity the diagnostics of the FLOWSIC600-XT 2plex can be compared in order to identify disturbances (caused by contamination, pulsation or noise) at an early stage and provide a warning.
Access rights 2.4.3 The FLOWSIC600-XT provides not only various access levels but also allows several single users per access level. Only one user can be logged onto the device at any one time. Three different users with the same access rights are possible for access levels “User” and “Authorized user”.
The FLOWSIC600-XT can have the following status during measuring mode: ● Measurement valid ● Measurement invalid ● Maintenance request In measuring mode, the FLOWSIC600-XT operates in one of three meter statuses depend- ing on the measuring conditions. Air test mode 2.5.2 Air test mode serves to carry out a test bench calibration with the test medium air at ambient pressure.
Digital outputs 2.6.2 The FLOWSIC600-XT has 4 digital outputs (FO.0, FO.1, DO.2 and DO.3) to output the impulses proportional to the flow rate and status information. The digital outputs are electrically isolated with a synchronous refresh in a configurable period between 0.1 to 1 s.
Instructions FLOWSIC600-XT: Interfaces”. Optical data interface 2.6.5 The FLOWSIC600-XT has an optical interface compliant with IEC 62056-21 on the front panel with bit-serial, asynchronous data transfer (protocol MODBUS RTU). A computer can be connected using an infrared/USB adapter (Part No. 6050602).
Inspect for transport damage when unpacking the device. ▸ Document any damage found and report this to the manufacturer. NOTICE: Do not put the FLOWSIC600-XT into operation if you notice any damage! ▸ Check the scope of delivery for completeness. The standard scope of delivery comprises: –...
(external and internal corrosion). The FLOWSIC600-XT can be installed in straight inlet and outlet pipes depending on the installation configuration (→ p. 40, §3.3.4.1): The inlet and outlet pipes must have the same nominal size as the meter body. The inner diameter is shown in the Data Sheet and is based on the nominal flange value and the standard.
45 ° 45 ° ▸ If a lifting angle of 45° cannot be ensured due to construction of the FLOWSIC600-XT, e.g. for 2plex devices, a suitable traverse hoist must be used for lifting. Gas flow direction NOTICE: Observe the gas flow direction ▸...
Installation requirements in accordance with GOST, see document “8020847 Installation Requirements GOST” 1 Use the lifting gear to position the FLOWSIC600-XT in the desired location in the pipe- line. 2 Lead the pipelines free of tension to the device being fitted.
3 .4 Requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres 3.4.1 The FLOWSIC600-XT is as suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres classified in Zone 1 and Zone 2. IECEx Ex db ia op is [ia Ga] IIA /IIC T4 Gb...

The ambient temperature must be within the range specified on the SPU type plate. The meter body becomes part of the pipeline as soon as the FLOWSIC600-XT is installed in the pipeline. The wall of the pipeline and the meter body is then deemed a zone-separating barrier.

After de-instal- lation and before every reinstallation the seals must be replaced according to the original assembly. Seals can be ordered from SICK (part number and serial number from type plate at SPU).
Electrical connections 3.4.4 The SPU enclosure of the FLOWSIC600-XT comprises a flameproof enclosure and an adjacent separate chamber. With Ex-e wiring (→ Fig. 22), the Ex-d inputs and outputs run through a line duct to the Ex-e terminals in the Ex-e terminal compartment.
CD. The completed Commissioning Protocol must be filed with the FLOWSIC600-XT device documentation. ● The FLOWSIC600-XT is zero adjusted or flow calibrated when delivered to the end user. The zero adjust comprises the 3-D measurement of the meter body, zero-flow and speed of sound test as well as other system specific tests which belong to the manufac- turing and quality assurance process.
Commissioning and Operation Display and operating elements 4.2.2 The FLOWSIC600-XT display comprises an LC display for measuring screens and configur- ing, 4 buttons for menu navigation and the possibility to attach an infrared/USB adapter (Part No. 6060602) for data communication.
A data connection can be established with the device using the optical data interface and the infrared/USB adapter HIE-04 (Part No. 6050602). This interface serves to configure the FLOWSIC600-XT. The infrared/USB adapter has an USB 2.0 interface. This interface provides the connection to the PC and transfers the FLOWSIC600-XT data.
Check the serial numbers and specific device values against the type plate. Device information ▸ Compare the model name against the type plate and ensure the FLOWSIC600-XT is suit- able equipped for the application. Detailed description of the model name, see → p. 152, §9.6.
The “Phase shift” parameter of a path is properly adjusted when the values are lower than 0.2. An adjustment coordinated with SICK Service is recommended when the zero phases do not meet the specified criteria. Fig. 36 Zero phase check FLOWSIC600-XT ·...
▸ Check the speed of sound (SOS). ▸ The speed of sound values must be almost identical on all paths of the FLOWSIC600-XT and may only differ by less than 0.1%. ▸ When moving the mouse over the bar graphs, the current measured values are shown in the diagram.
Path failure compensation 4.4.5 The FLOWSIC600-XT can compensate failed measuring paths. A path is considered failed when its acceptance rate is below a certain limit. It is then no longer used to create mea- sured values, but is substituted by a configured or teached relation to the overall speed. It is included in measurement when its acceptance rate is over the limit again.
Routine checks 5 . 2 Proper device function can be determined directly on the front panel of the FLOWSIC600-XT. The FLOWgate™ operating software provides a user-friendly option for the performance of routine checks (connect to the device, → p. 68, §4.3.1).
Time synchronization via Modbus 5.2.3.1 The FLOWSIC600-XT has a real-time clock which continues to run also in the case of a power failure. The real-time clock has a separate battery (BR2032). The time is saved as UNIX Timestamp (UTC) in the device and in the stored data records. The UNIX Timestamp specifies the number of seconds since 01.01.1970 with leap year correction.
● Only PANASONIC batteries type BR2032 are permitted as the RTC battery, otherwise the intrinsic safety is endangered. ● Only replace the backup battery with a similar type from SICK with item number 2079721, otherwise the intrinsic safety is endangered.
