SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS H250 M9 1.1 General notes These additional Instructions apply to the explosion-protected versions of the variable area flowmeters with electrical components and the marking II 3 G and II 3 D. They complete the installation and operation instructions for the non-explosion protected versions.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.1 Device description Variable area flowmeters are used to measure and display volume flows of flammable and non- flammable gases and liquids. Depending on the device version, electrical limit switches and a 4- 20 mA signal output or a Profibus PA interface can be built into the indicator part.
9 KROHNE website Additional markings on the device: • SN - serial number • SO - sales order / item • KO - KROHNE order • Vxxx - product configurator code • AC - article code Additional plate The association of the housing cover to the device is confirmed by an additional plate with the serial number on the interior of the indicator part.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.4 Flammable products Atmospheric conditions: Atmospheric conditions: Atmospheric conditions: Atmospheric conditions: An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts under atmospheric conditions. It is defined by the following values T = -20...+60°C /...
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.6 Types of protection 2.6.1 Type of protection for gas hazard areas The variable area flowmeter is designed with protection type "non-sparking" 'nA' in accordance with EN 60079-15. Protection against explosion is ensured in that no sparking contacts or hot surfaces lead to ignition under normal operating conditions.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes Due to the influence of the product temperature, variable area flowmeters with built-in electrical equipment (electric variants) are not assigned to any fixed temperature class. 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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION H250 M9 2.8 Surface temperature equipment category II 3 D For use in areas with flammable dust it should be noted that the indicated maximum surface temperature of T65°C at an ambient temperature of 60°C / 140°F and a product temperature of 65°C / 149°F is valid without a dust coating.
INSTALLATION H250 M9 3.1 Installation Installation and setup must be carried out according to the applicable installation installation standards (e.g. EN 60079-14) by qualified personnel trained in explosion protection. The information given in the Installation and Operation Instructions and the Supplementary Installation and Operation Instructions must always be observed.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS H250 M9 4.1 General notes Electrical connection of the signal circuits is carried out in the integrated terminal compartment of the indicator part. Separate conduit entries are provided for the signal output and limit switches. Unused conduit entries should be closed using approved blind plugs and seals. Ensure that the seals are tight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS H250 M9 4.2 Power supply The variable area flowmeter does not require any separate power supply. The necessary power for the built-in electrical equipment is supplied via the signal circuits. 4.3 Inputs/outputs The signal circuits of the variable area flowmeter may only be connected to downstream devices or circuits that satisfy the requirements of protective extra-low voltage (PELV).
OPERATION H250 M9 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. The user of the system must have it checked before start-up in compliance with the national regulations for checks before startup.
SERVICE H250 M9 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. For systems in hazardous areas, regular tests are required in order to maintain the proper condition.
