These additional instructions are an extension to the standard documentation and only apply to the Ex versions of the OPTISONIC 7300 C/..., OPTISONIC 7000... and GFC 300 F ultrasonic flowmeters. All technical information as described in the standard documentation is applicable, when not specifically excluded, completed or replaced by the instructions in these additional instructions.
(only in case of a sin- gle-beam sensor). 3. The OPTISONIC 7300 C/…-Ex and OPTISONIC 7000…-Ex shall be included in the local equipo- tential bonding system of the potentially explosive area.
(warning sign!). For the OPTISONIC 7300 C/...-Ex compact gasflowmeter the waiting time is 35 minutes for temperature class T6 and 10 minutes for temperature class T5. No waiting time(s) have to be considered for temperature classes T4 ...T1...
OPTISONIC 7300 1.6 OPTISONIC 7300 C/...-Ex The OPTISONIC 7300 C/...-Ex is the compact configuration of the GFC 300 ultrasonic flow converter and the OPTISONIC 7000 ultrasonic gas flow sensor. The gas flow sensor contains flameproof (Ex db) gas transducers (type G7.nn or G11.nn) or partially "Ex db" with an encapsulated front "Ex ma"...
The biogas versions are low-pressure (maximum 10 bar / 145 psi) designs of the gas flowmeters and available as compact flowmeter (OPTISONIC 7300 C/…-Ex) and as remote flow sensor (OPTISONIC 7000…-Ex). The biogas flow sensors have additionally one or two screw-in connections for ATEX/IECEx-approved ("Ex ia"...
C applies to the flow sensor equiped with gas transducers of type G6.nn The process temperature is the temperature of the medium that surrounds the transducers. The ambient temperature is the (air) temperature at the location where the meter is installed. www.krohne.com 08/2018 - 4003791402 - AD EX OPTISONIC 7300 R02...
1.12 Marking labels (examples) See the following examples of marking labels (i.e. data stickers) of respectively OPTISONIC 7300 C-Ex, OPTISONIC 7300 C/i-Ex ultrasonic compact flowmeter, GFC 300 F/...-Ex ultrasonic signal converter in field design and OPTISONIC 7000...-Ex ultrasonic flow sensor.

The transducer circuits of the signal converter are galvanically isolated from earth, therefore an equipotential bonding conductor between the flow sensor and the signal converter does not have to be connected, but can be used if desired (e.g. for EMC reasons). 08/2018 - 4003791402 - AD EX OPTISONIC 7300 R02 www.krohne.com...
OPTISONIC 7300 4.1 General The OPTISONIC 7300 C/...-Ex compact flowmeter must be incorporated within the equipotential bonding system of the installation. This can be established internally by connection of the protective earth (PE conductor of the mains supply system to the internal PE clamp, or...
