SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OPTISWIRL 5080 1.1 General notes These additional instructions apply to intrinsically safe versions of vortex flowmeters with following specifications: • ATEX category: II 1 G and II 2 D • Equipment protection level (EPL): Ga and Db • Ex marking: Ex ia IIC T4 Ga and Ex tb IIIC T103°C Db They complete the standard documentation for the non-explosion protected versions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OPTISWIRL 5080 1.3 Approval according to the IECEx scheme Conformity of the vortex flowmeter for use in hazardous areas with gas and dust was tested in accordance with the "IECEx Certification Scheme for Explosive Atmospheres" according to IEC 60079-0:2011, IEC 60079-1:2014, IEC 60079-11:2011, IEC 60079-26:2004 and IEC 60079-31:2013.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION OPTISWIRL 5080 2.1 Device description Vortex flowmeters measure and display the flow of flammable and non-flammable gases, steam and liquids. They transmit a 4...20 mA or digital multidrop, and a pulse output signal, as ® applicable, using HART communication protocol for remote configuration, calibration and monitoring.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION OPTISWIRL 5080 2.5 Ambient temperature / temperature classes Because of the influence of the temperature of the product, no fixed temperature class is assigned to vortex flowmeters. The temperature class of these devices is rather a function of the product temperature and ambient temperature that is present and the specific device version.

INSTALLATION OPTISWIRL 5080 3.1 Mounting Installation and setup must be carried out according to the applicable installation standards (e.g. EN 60079-14) by qualified personnel trained in explosion protection. The information given in the manual and these instructions must always be observed.
• As aluminium is used at the accessible surface of the signal converter housing, in the event of rare incidents, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks could occur. This shall be considered when the OPTISWIRL 5080 vortex flowmeter is being installed in group IIC, zone 0 classified locations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 5080 4.1 General notes The separate intrinsically safe signal circuits are electrically connected in the terminal compartment of the signal converter. The circuits are designed in type of protection "intrinsic safety" and galvanically not isolated from ground.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 5080 4.3 Outputs The terminal assignment is described in the standard manual. The signal circuits of the vortex flowmeters must only be connected to certified intrinsically safe circuits. For more information refer to chapter "Electrical data". The 4...20 mA current output circuit and the pulse output circuit are galvanically isolated from each other.
OPERATION OPTISWIRL 5080 5.1 Start-up Start-up may only initiate when the vortex flowmeter: • is correctly installed in the system and connected. • has been checked for the proper state with regard to its installation and connection requirements. • has been correctly locked to the electronics and terminal compartment.
SERVICE OPTISWIRL 5080 6.1 Maintenance Maintenance work of a safety-relevant nature within the meaning of explosion protection may only be carried out by the manufacturer, his authorised representative or under the supervision of authorised inspectors. Fluids containing abrasive particles and flowing at high rates can cause significant wear to pipes.

SERVICE OPTISWIRL 5080 Exchanging the entire device The dismantling and installation is within the responsibility of the operator. Before disconnecting the electric connection cable of the device, make sure that all cables leading to the indication unit are isolated from the ground of the hazardous area.
