    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK37/M8 - H250/M8 Indicator M8E - M8EG 1 Connection signal output 4...20 mA 4.2 Power supply The variable area flowmeter does not require a separate power supply. The necessary power for the built-in electrical equipment is supplied via the signal circuits.
  • Page 17: Grounding And Equipotential Bonding

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DK37/M8 - H250/M8 4.4 Grounding and equipotential bonding If the device is not sufficiently electrostatically grounded via the process cables, an additional ground connection must be established using the ground terminal 1. The position of the ground terminal is illustrated below. This connection only ensures electrostatic grounding of the device and does not meet the requirements for equipotential bonding.
  • Page 18: Operation

    OPERATION DK37/M8 - H250/M8 5.1 Start-up Start-up is only permitted when the variable area flowmeter: • is correctly installed in the system and connected. • has been checked for the proper state with regard to its installation and connection requirements.
