WARNING ! No changes may be made to the devices. Unauthorized changes might affect the explosion safety of the devices. These additional instructions are an extension to the standard Installation and Operating Instructions and only applies for the EEx version of the UFM 500 K compact ultrasonic flowmeter.
1. SYSTEM COMPONENTS 1.1 General information The Altosonic UFM 500 K-EEx ultrasonic compact flowmeter is in accordance with the European Directive 94/9 EC (ATEX 100a) and approved for hazardous classified locations of Zone 1 and 2 by the PTB conform to the European Standards of the EN 500xx series. The UFM 500 K-EEx has the following approval number.
1.3 UFC 500-EEx signal converter The UFC 500-EEx signal converter consists of a cylindrical housing made of die-casted aluminum. It has of two separate compartments, divided from each other by an integrated wall with casted flameproof terminal feed-through. The interconnecting part to the primary head at the bottom of the housing contains a flameproof wire or coaxial cable feed-through.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION NOTE: All the connecting cables that enter the terminal compartment of the UFC 500-EEx signal converter (i.e. power supply, current and binary in-/outputs cables) are not intrinsically safe ! The arrangement of the terminals in the terminal compartment is shown in Figure 1 below. For mains voltages above 50 Vac the PE conductor must be connected to the PE-terminal in the terminal compartment.
