  • Page 6: Product Description

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The flowmeter of the series EE776, based on the measurement principle of thermal mass flow, is suited for the measurement of flow of air and gasses in pipelines. Measurement of for instance the consumption of compressed air, nitrogen, helium, CO2 or other non-corrosive and non-flammable gasses. The EE776 measures the volume flow at standard conditions according to DIN 1343 (P0 = 1023.25 mbar;...

  • Page 10: Required Length Of Straight Pipe

    3.4. Required length of straight pipe The flowmeter should be installed as far as possible from disturbances of the flow. The causes for disturbance of the flow are for instance, reducers, elbows, T-pieces, valves, gate valves, etc. The specified measurement accuracy can be achieved only when the following straight inlet and outlet pipe lengths are installed: •...
  • Page 11: Installation In The Pipe Line

    3.5. Installation in the pipe line The patented non-return protection device for reliable installation combines three functions in one unit: • Non-return protection device The sensor can only be pushed in one direction during installation. The sensor will not move back at all, even when it is released.
  • Page 12 • If the measurement sensor is immersed too far into the pipe line, it can be retracted by unlocking the non-return pro- tection device. To do this, slowly press the knurled nut inwards. As with a pressure point in a car clutch, this permits the immersion depth to be set to the precise millimetre.

  • Page 15: Bus Output (Optional)

    4.2. Bus Output (optional) 4.2.1. M-Bus (Meter-Bus) The M-Bus (Meter Bus) is a field bus for recording consumption data. Transmission is carried out serially on a reverse polarity protected two-wire line. The flowmeter as M-Bus slave requires a separate supply voltage. No specific topology (line or star) is prescribed for the cabling.

    Secondary addressing In addition to primary addressing, the EE77x transmitter provides the option of secondary addressing. The fields of identification number, manufacturer, version and medium are used together as the secondary address. The exact sequence of the secondary addressing is described in detail in the M-Bus Standard: http:// www.m-bus.com/files/MBDOC48.PDF.
