Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 1. Steps prior to operation Prior to installation and operation, it is essential that the operator familiarizes himself with all of the instructions and information contained in this manual. These Installation and Operating Instructions serve as a tool for the correct installation, operation and maintenance of the device, and apply for both the standard non-explosion proof flow-meters as well as to the explosion proof non-electrical versions of the Variable Area Meters BGN series for use in Hazardous Locations.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Areas of Application The BGN meter is suitable for flow measurement of liquid or gaseous products in pipes. It displays the current flow rate in volume or mass per unit in time. Please consider also the provisions for the use in hazardous areas. Applications: flow measurement, dosing, monitoring, adjusting and control of liquid and gaseous products.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 3. General Information on the marking of Explosion Protection Equipment Example designation 0158 Equipment groups Equipment group I applies to equipment intended for use in underground parts of mines as well as those parts of surface installations of such mines endangered by firedamp and/or combustible dust.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Temperature classes Maximum surface temperature Temperature class 450 °C 300 °C 200 °C 135 °C 100 °C 85 °C Equipment protection level, EPL Gases: Ga, Gb or Gc Dust: Da, Db or Dc Explosion protection designations [square brackets] refer to “Related electrical equipment or circuits”. Ex-Marking BGN Instruments series BGN will be delivered without label stickers.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Atmospheric Conditions According to DIN/BS EN 1127-1 a hazardous area is defined as a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours mist or dust under atmospheric conditions. These are defined according to DIN/BS EN ISO 80079-36, para 1 with following values: = -20°C …...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 5.2 System design The meter consists of a cylindrical fitting pipe with flange connections on both sides. For smaller measuring ranges of up to 4–40 l/h, the measuring cell consists of a conical measuring tube with cylindrical float. For measuring ranges above 5 to 50 l/h, a measuring ring is inserted in the tube in which a conical float can move with vertical freedom.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 1. Provide spring choke or gas damping in the S version for gas measurement. The spring choke or gas damping is not available for P or H versions. Additional pressure loss approx. 200 mbar. 2. No measurement is possible at atmospheric pressure upstream and downstream of the flowmeter. The values given are for orientation only.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Limit switches KER1 or KER2 Design as SPDT switch (Reed switch). KER 1 = 1 SPDT switch KER 2 = 2 SPDT switch Maximum switching capacity: U :175VDC, I :0,25A, P :5W. None of the specified limit values may be exceeded. The switch points are usually factory pre-set.

Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Wiring diagram for limit switches KER 1 and KER 2 Devices with unconnected cable end For simple electrical connection, especially for the units with stainless steel indicating unit enclosures, the device can be supplied with a cable end (silicon cable). The standard cable length is 2.5 m. The cable has 7 wires, yellow / green for earth and 6 black wires with white numbers 1-6.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH For process temperature < -40 °C and/or > +200 °C the instruments must be equipped with a displaced indication. Please consider the additional required space (see 10.1). Sample aluminium indicator displaced Sample st.st. indicator displaced As a rule, inlet and outlet sections in front of and behind the device are not necessary if the medium does have a linear flow profile.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH using gases to prevent pressure surges. Basically, avoid activation using solenoid valves to prevent the float from shooting upwards. Liquid Measurement / start up Caution When measuring liquids process pipes must be accurately vented to avoid water hammers through gas contents.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Adjusting the switch point of limit switch KER Note: KER1 and KER2 limit switches do not have limit switch indicators. Switch point(s) are normally factory set. To adjust the switch points use the following procedure: 1) Ensure that the supply lines are powerless and cannot not be switched active during operation by other persons.
