6. Maintenance
NOTE
The converter is not equipped with moving
parts and/or mechanical parts subject to wear
and therefore does not require any ordinary
maintenance except for the periodic check of the
correct closure of the cable glands, the condition
of the sealing gaskets of the covers (in all versions)
and the replacement of the discharged battery
(in the FLC-608B version).
NOTE
The device (front panel and converter casing)
can easily be cleaned with soft cloths and neutral
detergents.
6.1 Cable gland closing and gasket condition check
Since the environmental characteristics where the converter
is installed are not known in advance, it is not possible to
provide univocal indications on how often periodic checks
on cable glands and gaskets should be performed.
NOTE
The operating experience of the user and the
knowledge of the environmental characteristics
of the converter installation location will allow the
operator to decide how regular controls must be.
WARNING!
Converters that are positioned outdoors
and/or in places/supports subject to vibrations
can loosen the cable glands over time, so they
must be checked/controlled more frequently
than converters that are installed in closed
environments and/or protected from external
stresses.
Checks:
Perform periodical checks of the tightness of the cable
■
glands and their condition.
On this occasion, check the condition of the seal in the
■
cover and, if provided, in the electrical junction box.
Finally, check that all the electrical cables are correctly
■
affixed to the relative terminals, that they are physically
intact and that they do not show signs of deterioration.
6.2 Battery installation/replacement on FLC-608B/R
The battery pack is usually supplied separately from the
converter, therefore, before the FLC-608B (and FLC-608R)
is put into operation, the battery pack must be inserted in its
housing and connected to the instrument according to the
instructions provided below.
WIKA Operating Instructions - Electromagnetic flow meter FLC-608
NOTE
The operations described below are also valid for
the replacement of the battery, which is necessary
to perform when the status icon "
low charge level on the FLC-608B display.
NOTE
Under normal operating conditions, the battery
life can last up to 10 years. Any changes to the
settings and programming of the converter (see
paragraph 5.3) can affect the battery life.
6.2.1 Battery installation/replacement
Step 1 - Fig. 50
Insert the battery pack (see 1, Fig. 50) into the battery holder (see
2, Fig. 50) so that the power cable (see 3, Fig. 50) comes out of the
bottom of the holder. When inserting the battery pack, be careful
to match the grooves on the battery to the anti-rotation stops
provided on the holder.
Step 2 - Fig. 51
Connect the battery pack (see 1, Fig. 51) to the electronic board
of the converter (see 2, Fig. 51) by inserting the 5-ways connector
(see 3, Fig. 51) to the relative counterpart.
