OPTISONIC 7060 The connection terminals for the power supply and field connections are located on the back of the CONVERTER in a separate terminal box (see Section 3.4.4). The electronics units are mounted in a housing certified to EN 50018 or IEC 60079-1 with type of protection "d"...
OPTISONIC 7060 Operating modes and signal output The OPTISONIC 7060 measuring system has the following operating modes: Measurement Normal, fault-free system operation. The pulse and switching outputs, as well as the current output are updated periodically. The “Warning” status signal may be set automatically by the system in the course of the self-diagnosis (for details see Section 2.6).
Page 15
OPTISONIC 7060 The digital output 2 is assigned at the factory with the status signal “Check requested”, and digital output 3 the status signal “Direction of flow”. As a standard, the LCD shows the two major counters, one for each direction of flow.
OPTISONIC 7060 Self-diagnosis In the measurement mode, the ratios of sound and path velocities, amplification settings, and signal-to-noise are continuously monitored. If these parameters deviate from a preset range, a warning signal is generated. This enables immediate measures to be taken to prevent possible system malfunctions.
OPTISONIC 7060 Event logging Important system events (max. 250) are stored in a verification logbook. Each entry consists of the event, time stamp and the valid volume counter value along with acknowledgement status present at the time the event occurred. The events are logged continuously in the order they occur and, each event can be acknowledged manually.

General Notes 3.1.1 Delivery The OPTISONIC 7060 is delivered in a pre-assembled condition in robust packaging. When unpacking the device, check for possible damage in transit. Pay particular attention to the interior of the meter body, any visible transducer components and the sealing surfaces of the flanges. Any damage must be documented and reported to the manufacturer immediately.
Measuring location • The OPTISONIC 7060 can be installed in customary straight inlet and outlet pipes. The adjacent pipes must have the same nominal width as the meter body. The internal diameter can be derived from the marked flange standard and the type key information (Appendix, Table 8.2).
OPTISONIC 7060 Typical installation configuration: Fig. 3.2: OPTISONIC 7060 installation in the pipeline for unidirectional use Temperature measurement point The choice of the installation configuration depends on type and extent of the flow disturbance at the installation position (according to TR G13).
An arrow on the meter body indicates the main direction of flow. It is recommended to install the OPTISONIC 7060 as indicated by this arrow id the device is to be used for unidirectional flow applications. If the device is to be used in the bidirectional mode, the arrow indicates the positive direction of flow.
OPTISONIC 7060 3.3.3 CONVERTER alignment The CONVERTER can be turned to a position which provides a good view on the display and good conditions for cable routing (see Fig. 3.4). A stop on the housing prevents the CONVERTER from being turned more than 330 . This aims to protect the cables from the meter body from damage.
