An area in which an explosive atmosphere, as a result of the mixture of flammable substances in the form of gas, steam or mist with air, under normal operation may occasionally occur. 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en www.krohne.com... -
Page 8: Types Of Protection
For the equipment category II 2 G or EPL Gb, connection to an intrinsically safe circuit with protection level "ib" is required. When connecting the variable area flowmeter to an intrinsically safe circuit with protection level "ia", a higher protection level is given. www.krohne.com 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en... -
Page 9: Ambient Temperature / Temperature Classes
These values may be limited by the information contained in the standard manual. The maximum values listed in the manual must be taken into consideration. Minimum product temperature for all versions The minimum product temperature is -20°C / -4°F. 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en www.krohne.com... -

Also, when operating the variable area flowmeter outside of the hazardous area, the connection must be made to intrinsically safe circuits. When connecting to non-intrinsically safe circuits, there is a risk of damage to the safety- defining components. www.krohne.com 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en... -
Page 11: Installation
Mounting of limit switches Mounting the limit switches ensures the electrostatic connection to the indicator. Make sure that they are properly mounted and that the mounting elements fit properly. 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en www.krohne.com... -

INSTALLATION VA40 3.2 Special conditions Equipotential bonding The variable area flowmeters type VA40/./ .. /K/ must be connected to the equipotential bonding system of the hazardous area. For further information refer to Grounding and equipotential bonding on page 13. Flammable products In case of operation with flammable products the measuring units must be included in the periodic tests of the pipelines and fittings. -

Page 14: Operation
• pneumatically conveyed dust is exposed. To minimise danger due to electrostatic discharge, the variable area flowmeters type VA40/./ .. /K/ may not be used in areas in which there are processes that generate strong charges. In variable area flowmeters, it is possible under field conditions for charge separation to occur in the measuring tube due to the transport of non-conductive fluids and/or when the flow comes into contact with non-conductive built-ins. - Page 15 The conductivity of liquids must be at least 1000 pS/m. Gases containing solid particles or liquid droplets are not permitted. WARNING! Electrostatic charging of the housing surface by friction must be avoided. The devices must not be dry cleaned. 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en www.krohne.com...

Page 16: Service
In the case of environmentally critical or hazardous products, appropriate safety precautions • must be taken with regard to residual liquids in the measuring unit. New gaskets have to be used when re-installing the device in the piping. • www.krohne.com 10/2020 - 4002262403 - AD VA40 Exia Gb R04 en... -
