System Components General information The UFM 3030 ultrasonic flowmeters in compact and separate design are in accordance with the European Directive 94/9 EC (ATEX 100a) and approved for hazardous classified locations of Zone 1 and 2 by the PTB conform to the European Standards of the EN 500xx series, approval number: PTB 03 ATEX 2021 X.
Flow sensor 1.3.1 Standard instruments The UFS 3000…-EEx flow sensor is the default measuring unit of the UFM 3030 (3-beam) ultrasonic flowmeters. It contains the ultrasonic sensor (three pairs of opposite transducers) in type of protection intrinsic safety category "ib" according to EN 50020. All sensor circuits are wired by separate coaxial cables and connected through SMB connectors, which are marked by the respective numbers 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2.
1.3.2 Optional instruments The following options are available to support customers that have one or more ultrasonic flowmeter systems (in compact and/or separate design) based on the UFM 500…-EEx series and need to replace the UFC 500…-EEx electronics unit. Because the intrinsically safe “ib” sensor circuits of UFS 500…-EEx flow sensor have almost the same maximum values (i.e.

The UFC 030…-EEx electronics unit is inserted into the electronics compartment with the help of two sliding rubbers that position and fixate the unit at the front of the inside of the housing. Two M4 screws mount the unit and a third M4 screw fixates the brass earth strip at the back-end of the front- end printed circuit board, which contains the integrated voltage/current limiting circuit.

“EEx d” approved cable glands are no part of the standard delivery package, but must be provided by the customer himself or ordered explicitly at KROHNE. 1) Semi-circular insulating cover plate 2) U-clamp terminal size M4 (7 in total) 3) Dividing plate of insulating material (8 in total)
Electrical data 1.5.1 Power supply unit The UFC 030…-EEx electronics unit is equipped with a switching-mode power supply, which is available in two supply voltage ranges, namely: • 100…240 V AC power supply; • 24 V AC/DC power supply. The power supplies are available in the standard as well as the MODIS design. The main difference between these versions is that the MODIS versions are not provided with the analogue input A1 and its driver logic.

(close to the local display unit). The connections are established during the installation of the IFC 030…-EEx electronics unit inside the flameproof electronics compartment of the flow converter housing by KROHNE Altometer personnel. 1.5.3 In-/output circuits The analogue input circuit A1 is protected against overcurrent by a fuse of type TR5 No.

Electrical connections Safety instructions These instruments are designed in accordance with IEC 61010-1 for Installation Category 2 and Pollution Degree 2. Hazardous voltages are present within this product during normal operation. They are designed for Protection Class I and should never be operated without protective earthing. The instruments shall also never be operated with the covers removed.
Standard versions The field cables enter the terminal compartment of the UFC 030…-EEx flow converter unit (i.e. power supply, current and signal in-/outputs) and are non-intrinsically safe. To connect external devices to the in-/output terminals, the wiring requirements for the type of protection of the compartment (standard: increased safety "e", optional: flameproof "d") must be conform to the international or national standard involved (e.g.

MODIS versions The field cables of the non-intrinsically safe power supply and the intrinsically safe "ia" signal in- /outputs enter the terminal compartment of the UFC 030i-EEx flow converter unit via two separate entrances. To connect external devices to the intrinsically safe signal output terminals, the wiring requirements for their type of protection as well as of the compartment (standard: increased safety "e", optional: flameproof "d") must be conform to the international or national standard involved (e.g.

Namur NE 43 settings The UFM 3030…EEx and UFC 030…EEx can be set-up such that the Current Output functions are according to Namur NE 43. This means the current will go either to 3.6 or to 21.5 mA (failure value can be user defined, normal operating limits are between 3.8 and 20.5 mA) in case the instrument indicates a failure.
Service and maintenance Introduction Contact your nearest local KROHNE representative for ordering information of the UFC 030…-EEx electronics units and/or fuses. The UFM 3030 ultrasonic flowmeters are maintenance free with regard to the flow metering properties. Within the scope of the periodical inspections, which are required for electrical apparatus that is installed and used in a hazardous classified location, it is recommended to check the flameproof converter housing on signs of corrosion and damages.
Replacement of electronics unit Refer to the standard installation and operating instructions for detailed information about resetting and reprogramming the new electronics unit after replacement. Important customer specific data (like the value of the internal totaliser) should be noted before replacing the UFC 030…-EEx electronics unit ! Before commencing work, note the “Before opening”...
