6 Installing the RHE49 Coriolis transmitter Mechanical installation The RHE49 Coriolis transmitter is permanently mounted on the RHM flow sensor and does not need to be mounted separately. Please refer to the RHM manual for the mechanical installation. Electrical installation Connecting the power supply The RHE49 Coriolis transmitter requires a regulated DC power supply of 12 to 24V ±10%.
Connecting the RS485 interface The RS485 interface is used for digital communications, for remote control purposes, and to exchange data. It uses the Modbus RTU protocol to establish a permanent connection to a monitoring control system. RS485 / Modbus RTU RS485 A / + / Rx+&Tx+ terminal RS485 B / - / Rx-&Tx- terminal 1.

Basic settings Changing the flow direction RHE49 Coriolis transmitters are bidirectional and can be operated in your desired flow direction. In certain circumstances, the RHE49 Coriolis transmitter may display negative values following installation as a result of the flow direction. If this happens, you can reverse how the flow direction is displayed in the RHE49 Coriolis transmitter.

• Before installation, carefully read the installation and operating manual of the RHEONIK Coriolis Flowmeter. • The mounting, electrical installation, commissioning, and maintenance are to be carried out by qualified personal only who are trained in explosion protection.
B.2 System Description: A Rheonik Coriolis mass flow meter system for hazardous areas consists of a mass flow sensor RHM and a transmitter RHE. The RHE49 is mounted directly on the RHM. With order code A2 the combination of RHE49 and RHM may be mounted in zone 2.
B.4 Thermal Safety Limits The RHE49 with Ex-code A2 or C2 have the temperature class T4. If the fluid or gas temperature rises above 65°C, temperature class and maximum ambient temperature are limited by the RHM. See RHM manual. The ambient temperature must under no circumstances exceed the limits specified in chapter 0.
B.7 Electrical connection of power supply and I/O For maintaining Um = 30V on power supply and I/O the installation must comply with at least one of the following points: • The complete installation is an SELV or PELV system. •...
2) Requires option “J9” at the RHM, not available with Ex certification 3) Requires option “S9” at the RHM Not all combinations are possible. For available combinations see datasheet or ask Rheonik. Where no versions for the place holders are specified, these parameters are not relevant for the Ex-certification.
B.12 Service and repair The unit does not contain any user serviceable parts. If the unit gets modified in any way, the Ex-certification gets void. In case of malfunction connect your dealer or directly Rheonik Messtechnik GmbH B.13 Contact address Rheonik Messtechnik GmbH Rudolf-Diesel-Str.
