ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 2100 Connecting cables The connecting cables should be selected according to the applicable installation standards (e.g. IEC 60079-14) and the maximum operating temperature. The connecting cable between the flow sensor and the wall bracket for remote versions is part of the supply.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 2100 4.2 Power supply The vortex flowmeter does not require a separate power supply. The required supply for the built-in electronics is provided via the 4...20 mA current output. 4.3 Inputs / Outputs The terminal assignment of the built-in electrical equipment is described in the standard documentation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 2100 4.4 Grounding and equipotential bonding CAUTION! Equipotential bonding Equipotential bonding Equipotential bonding Equipotential bonding Vortex signal converters and flow sensors must be included in the on-site equipotential bonding system according to the installation standard! They are connected to the PA terminals.
Page 25
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 2100 For remote versions the connection of the flow sensor can either be made via the PA connection in the terminal compartment of the signal converter or via the external PA connection. Figure 4-2: Ground connection of the remote version...
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTISWIRL 2100 4.5 Flow sensor circuits (remote version only) Observe the following points when connecting the flow sensor to the signal converter: • Use only the supplied connecting cable (max. length 50 m / 164 ft). • Before connecting or loosening the equipotential bonding cable, ensure there are no differences in potential.
OPERATION OPTISWIRL 2100 5.1 Start-up Start-up is only permitted when the measuring device: • 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 2100 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. ® Treat cover threads as necessary with the lubricating paint UNIMOLY C220 For systems in hazardous areas, regular tests are required in order to maintain the proper condition.
