Furthermore please observe the associated documents. 1.2 Target groups The instructions are intended for the following persons: o Persons who work with the product o Operator-owners who are responsible for the use of the product Persons who work with the product must be qualified.
1 About this document 1.4 Associated documents 1.3.2 Danger signs Meaning Source and possible consequences of non-observance Electrical voltage Electrical voltage causes serious physical injury or death. Raised load Falling objects can result in serious physical injury or death. Heavy load Heavy loads can result in serious back problems.
2 Safety 2.1 Proper use 2 Safety 2.1 Proper use o Flowmeter solely for flow measurement of lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and that do not contain gas or solid components. o Flowmeters require operation with clean liquids. If coarse soiling, solid particles in the liquid or ab- rasive fine particles occur during operation, the flowmeter must be protected additionally by a cor- respondingly dimensioned operating filter in the pipe system.

4 Technical data 4.1 Operating limits 4 Technical data 4.1 Operating limits The values specified on the rating plate apply, as well as the values on the calibration certificate if the optional calibration of the flowmeter was ordered. The permissible operating limits of individual values influence each other so that every application is checked individually by the manufacturer when selecting the flowmeter.
4 Technical data 4.4 Pick up 4.4 Pick up For OMS version "standard resolution" with pick up BEG 44, observe the operating instructions for the pick up. Unit OMS-020 (high resolution) Supply voltage U [VDC] 10 – 29 Closed current [mA] <...
5 Function description 5.1 Structure 5 Function description 5.1 Structure Fig. 6: Flowmeter design (OMS "standard resolution" version) Mechanical connection Small measuring screw Electrical connection Large measuring screw Pick up Pole wheel Measuring housing Intermediate flange O-ring 5.2 Functional principle Flowmeters belong to the group of rotating displacement meters as screw meters. The pumped liquid makes the measuring unit rotate.
6 Transportation, storage 5.4 Recognition of flow direction 5.4 Recognition of flow direction In the case of systems with pressure pulsation a reversal of the flow direction can occur briefly. o OMS "high resolution” version The flowmeter is equipped with a two-channel pick for flow direction detection. The flow direction can be determined by means of the additional phase-shifted signal and then taken into account for the calculation of the total values.
7 Installation, removal 7.1 Dangers during installation 7 Installation, removal 7.1 Dangers during installation The following safety instructions must be observed strictly: o Have all work only carried out by authorized qualified personnel. o Do not take apart the flowmeter. 7.2 Dangers during removal The following safety instructions must be observed strictly: o Have all work only carried out by authorized qualified personnel.
7 Installation, removal 7.3 Installing the flowmeter 7.3.2 Installation types Flowmeters can be operated in different installation positions. Both flow directions are possible. The preferred flow direction is indicated on the rating plate by means of an arrow Ä Identification, Page 6. Fig. 7: Installation types The arrow with dashed line identifies the preferred flow direction when an operating filter is used.
7 Installation, removal 7.3 Installing the flowmeter 7.3.3 Installation recommendation In order to avoid measuring errors observe the following recommendations of the manufacturer when installing the flowmeter in the pipe system. Preferred installation variant: - Install the flowmeter vertically. - Route the flow from the bottom upwards. Recommendations for alternative installation variants Alternative installation variant: Source for measuring error:...
7 Installation, removal 7.4 Installing the trace heating (optional) 7.3.4 Installing the flowmeter Personnel qualification: o Fitter o Work clothing Personal protective equipment: o Protective gloves o Safety boots ATTENTION Measuring error through air pocket in the flowmeter. ► During installation ensure that the flowmeter is not installed at the highest point in the pipe system. ATTENTION Measuring error through a lack of counter-pressure.

9 Operation 9.1 Dangers during operation 9 Operation 9.1 Dangers during operation The following safety instructions must be observed strictly: o Have all work only carried out by authorized qualified personnel. o Ensure that the flowmeter is only operated within the operating limits. o Ensure that during cooling down or heating up the flowmeter is only subjected to slow temperat- ure changes.
10 Maintenance 9.3 Decommissioning Requirement: ü The ambient conditions correspond to the operating data ü Flowmeter installed correctly in the pipe system Ä Installation, removal, Page 12 ü Flowmeter connection to the pipe system is stress-free ü Pipe system is free of impurities ü...
11 Disposal 10.2 Recalibration of the flowmeter 10.2 Recalibration of the flowmeter In order to maintain the high measuring precision of the flowmeter, the manufacturer recommends car- rying out the first recalibration after about one year of operation. The results reveal any wear starting on the measuring unit.
