WARNING! There is a risk of parts being ejected if the bursting disc ruptures; sufficient protection such as covers must be provided. Take the device out of operation and contact KEM Küppers Elektromechanik GmbH. WARNING! Make sure that the bursting disc is not damaged when mounting a tube or connecting elements on the housing.

General Information WARNING! The maximum permissible pressure must not be exceeded due to pressure surges. Risk of injury or poisoning. The maximum permissible operating pressure depends on the device version, pressure limit and temperature range. The device may be damaged if the operating pressure is exceeded. Hot, toxic and corrosive process media may be released.
General Information WARNING! External stresses and loads Damage to the device due to severe external stresses and loads (thermal expansion or pipe strain, for example). The process medium may be released. Risk of the ejection of components and the discharge of medium under high pressure.

General Information WARNING! Use in areas exposed to explosion hazards There is a risk of explosion in areas exposed to explosion hazards. Special requirements apply here with regard to the device location and installation. See “Electrical installation” (Sections 3.3 and 3.4). WARNING! Explosion hazard.

General Information 1.4. TCM Measuring Principle Two parallel tubes inside the TCM vibrate at their resonant frequency in opposite directions. Any mass flow passing through the tubes will delay the vibration at the incoming side and accelerate the vibration at the outgoing side.

Installation Installation 3.1. Important Installation Guidelines Coriolis Mass Flow Meters measure the flow by accelerating the medium transverse to the flow direction and measuring the effect of the inertial force. For optimum results, the device has to be decoupled from external vibrations and the medium must be homogeneous.
The manufacturer can assist you with the selection of sensor components that are wetted by the process medium. The operating company is responsible for selecting the components. KEM Küppers Elektromechanik GmbH assumes no liability for faults or failures due to incompatible materials.
Avoid exposing the device to external stresses and loads. 3.2.2. Requirements for the Installation Location TRICOR Classic series flowmeters have the protection class IP65 as standard. The devices are not suitable for outdoor installation. Process pressure and media temperature Make sure that the process pressure (PS), media temperature (TS) and ambient temperature do not exceed or fall below the value ranges specified on the type plate/device label.
Installation Direct sunlight Protect the device from direct sunlight to prevent overheating or materials getting brittle due to UV exposure. Make sure that the ambient temperature does not exceed or fall below the permissible limits. Observe the information in the technical data (see Section 7.3). WARNING! Use in areas exposed to explosion hazards.
Installation 3.2.4. Vertical installation The TCM 0325 through TCM 3100 should not be installed vertically due to the lozenge shape of the tubes – unless you are certain that the medium contains neither gas bubbles nor solids. All other sensors (TCM 5500 – 230K) can be installed vertically. This is the recommended installation position if the medium contains gas bubbles and/or solids.
Installation 3.2.6. Critical installations If gas bubbles are expected in the measured medium, the measuring device must not be installed at the highest point of the pipe system. Otherwise, accumulations of gas and therefore faulty measurements must be expected regardless of the installation position of the measuring device itself (A). If solids are expected in the measured medium, the measuring device must not be installed at the lowest point of the pipe system.
Installation NOTE: A separate protective conductor connection with a cross-section larger than 1 mm² is recommended in larger systems to avoid stray electric currents in the cable shield.

Installation 3.3.1. Grounding ower Supply and The TCE 6000 requires a regulated power supply of 24 V DC. The supply input of the TCE is protected by an internal fuse. To protect against fire due to a short-circuit in the supply cable, the power supply output must be protected by a fuse with a tripping current that does not exceed the current carrying capacity of the cable.
Installation 3.3.3. Analogue Outputs The TCE 6000 has one active 4 … 20mA output (earthed). The maximum load resistor depends on the supply voltage. ( ) = For a certain supply voltage, the maximum load resistor is calculated as: ...
Manual Operation Manual Operation 4.1. Manual Control The TCE 6000 has no control elements or displays. Operation and configuration is exclusively via software remote control. 4.2. Setup Guidelines The TCM Mass Flow Meters are configured for normal applications at the factory. Aside from regular zero point adjustment as needed, no further optimisations are required for most applications.
Manual Operation 4.2.3. Flow filter The raw data of a Mass Flow Meter are noisy. Therefore, the calculated flow rate values have to be filtered for a stable indication. to drop to / = /2,72 at the output after a jump at the input from a value x to 0. A longer time results in The filter in the TCE 6000 is adjusted via a time constant.
Manual Operation When the flow is constant or changes gradually, “STEP RESPONSE” should be deactivated with the setting 99% (default value). If “STEP RESPONSE” is needed, the best setting must be determined experimentally. The best value for ON/OFF operation is about 50% of the ON value. If the value chosen for “STEP RESPONSE”...
Manual Operation 4.3. Operating Modes of the Inputs and Outputs The inputs and outputs can be configured for different applications. Software remote control via an interface cable is required to change the settings. 4.3.1. Frequency Output The frequency output has two possible operating modes: FREQUENCY (default value): A frequency proportional to the flow is output.
Manual Operation DENSITY: The current is proportional to the actual density. TEMPERATURE: The current is proportional to the actual temperature. BATCH COUNT: The current is proportional to the actual “BATCH” value. This operating mode is only available if the control input is configured as “RESET BATCH”. The reference values for 4 mA and 20 mA can be freely selected.
A standard USB A to MINI USB cable can be used to temporarily connect the USB interface. NOTE: The USB A to USB M12 cable from KEM Küppers Elektromechanik GmbH is required for a stationary connection in an automated system in order to guarantee the specified IP protection class.
Service and Maintenance Service and Maintenance 6.1. Troubleshooting If the TRICOR Mass Flow Meter is not working properly, please check the following points: Does not operate All cables properly connected? Connect missing cables Power supply on? Turn on the power supply ...
Service and Maintenance Service and Maintenance The TRICOR CLASSIC Mass Flow Meters and the TCE 6000 transmitter do not require regular maintenance. An inspection and recalibration every 5 years is recommended for optimum measurement results. When abrasive or fouling process media are used, the inspection intervals should be considerably shorter in order to monitor the measurement results and, where applicable, the pressure resistance of the measuring device.
