Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Introduction Shipping and storage; product inspection The device is to be safeguarded against moisture, dirt, impact and damage. Product inspection Upon receipt of the product, the consignment should be checked for completeness. The data of the device have to be compared with the packing slip and the order documents Notify us of any shipping damage immediately upon receipt of the product.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 1. Steps prior to operation Prior to installation and operation, it is essential that the operator familiarizes himself with all of the instructions and information contained in the manual for non-explosion proof Coriolis flow meters as well as the present instructions. If any part of either manual is missing, contact Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH to request a new manual.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Hazard warnings The purpose of the hazard warnings listed below is to ensure that device operators and maintenance personnel are not injured and that the flow meter and any devices connected to it are not damaged. The safety advisories and hazard warnings in the present document that aim to avoid placing operators and maintenance personnel at risk and to avoid material damage are prioritized using the terms listed below, which are defined as follows in regard to the instructions herein and the advisories pertaining to the device itself.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Proper use of the device The Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor is intended for the sole use of direct and continuous mass flow measurement of liquids and gases. To ensure safety for people and the environment adhere to the installation and operational instructions and warning in this manual Warning The operator is responsible for ensuring that the material used in the sensor and...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Coriolis mass flow meters Description of the TM, TMU, and TM-SH sensors The TM* series of sensors have an “Intrinsic safety” type of protection which is equipped with the following four independent potential-free circuits: Excitation circuit Sensor circuit 1 ...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Mounting The mounting instructions for the standard sensor also apply to the explosion-proof sensor. 3.3.1 Thermally insulated sensor The sensor may be outfitted with thermal insulation, also in explosive atmospheres. However, so not to impair the junction box or connectors thermal ratings, the insulation shall only cover maximum the half of the sensors neck onto which the junction box or connector is mounted.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH The following maximum cable parameters must be abided to: = 100 pF/m wire to wire = 700 µH/km wire to wire = 170 pF/m wire to shield = 500 µH/km wire to shield Warning If a connecting cable other than the Heinrichs Messtechnik cable is used, the intrinsic safety of the cable is to be validated using the cable’s nominal values EC Type-Examination Certificate for the sensors type TM, TMU and TM-SH The sensors are certified with the following examination certificates:...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Electrical Parameters Warning To ensure compliance with the requirements for explosive atmospheres, it is essential that the maximum electrical and thermal values set forth below are observed 3.5.1 Exciter circuit (terminals 8 and 9) 3.5.1.1 For exciter circuit type EC1 Voltage 30 V Current...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 3.5.4 Ambient temperature range Ta The ambient temperature range is dependant on the type of connection, installation, process temperature and temperature class. For determining the prevailing temperature class at the location of installation refer to the following tables as well as the relevant type certificate: With HAN R23 plug Neck extension (Between the...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Connecting the sensor to a transmitter The transmitter used in conjunction with a TM, TMU or TM-SH sensor must be listed for use in Canada and/or USA depending on its area of installation. The manufactures installation drawings shall be followed when installing this equipment.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 4. Installation and Commissioning Mounting The mounting instructions for the standard sensor also apply to the explosion-proof sensor. Depending on the approval of the connected transmitter, the sensor may either be: Directly mounted, mechanically fastened to the transmitter producing a single unit. ...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH e) When mounted separately (remote mount configuration), equipotential bonding between the sensor and transmitter is essential to guarantee conformity of the intrinsically safe circuits. Terminals are provided on the outside of the sensor and transmitter for this purpose It is to be ensured that the intrinsically safe circuits of the sensor cable are not laid together with non- intrinsically safe circuits.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 5. Maintenance and repair work Definition of terms according to IEC 60079-17: Maintenance: defines a combination of any actions carried out to retain an item in, or restore it to, conditions in which it is able to meet the requirements of the relevant specification and perform its required functions. Inspection: defines any action comprising careful scrutiny of an item carried out either without dismantling, or with the addition of partial dismantling as required, supplemented by means such as measurement, in order to arrive at reliable conclusion as to the condition of an item.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Fault elimination No repairs or modifications may be performed on equipment that is operated in conjunction with explosive atmospheres. Such equipment shall only be repaired by expert personnel trained and authorized to do so. Damaged threaded or flat joints which may impair the IP protection of the enclosure shall not be repaired or modified.
