4 | Installation OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Installation General information The installation position is arbitrary and has no influence on the measurement re- sult. However, the installation location should be chosen in such a way that dry running of the measuring instrument is avoided. The measuring mechanisms of the instruments consist of precisely manufactured gears or screws.
Page 14
OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Installation | 4 Mounting with SAE flanges: Optionally, SAE flanges can be used, which are screwed onto the existing ports with 4 screws each. This type of mounting has a compressive strength of PN350 for both aluminum and steel ports. During assembly, the SAE flanges are first screwed onto the ends of the pipeline.
4 | Installation OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Electrical connection The electrical connection may only be made by a qualified electrician. The national and international regulations for the construction of electrotechnical systems of the respective operating country apply. The product has a 5-pin circular connector. For the electrical connection, a suitable connection cable with a suitable mating plug must be used (available as an acces- sory).
OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Commissioning | 5 Commissioning After installation in the pipeline, commissioning is carried out by: 1. Application of the supply voltage 2. Configuration of the electronics 3. Filling the pipeline with medium 4. Applying flow Re 1: Immediately after the supply voltage has been applied, the OMNIPLUS electron- ics display the current flow measurement value with unit.

OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Operation | 6 Operation Control element The OMNIPLUS head has a rotatable ring as a control element, the multifunction ring, which has a tactile grid in 15° increments (24 positions). It can be rotated as far to the left or right without stopping. In this way, it enables, for example, scrolling through menus or changing values.

OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Operation | 6 Simulation In simulation mode, all outputs behave as if a certain flow rate were present. The real flow is not measured and therefore does not affect the simulation. The flow rate to be simulated can be adjusted within the limits of the measuring range. In this way, it is possible to synchronize the output signals with the higher-level con- troller, regardless of the actual flow rate.
6 | Operation OMNIPLUS-VHZ/VHSX Information The menu item Information in the main menu provides access to various information about the measuring device. With the ring you can scroll through the following points. However, it is not possible to change the information on the device. Some entries can be changed by the user via IO-Link.
