Safety instructions
6 METPOINT®BDL portable
3 Safety instructions
Please check whether or not these instructions correspond to the device type.
Please adhere to all advice given in these operating instructions. They include basic infor-
mation which needs to be observed during installation, operation and maintenance. Therefore,
it is vital for the technician and the responsible operator/qualified personnel to read these oper-
ating instructions prior to installation, start-up and maintenance.
The operating instructions must be accessible at all times at the place of application of the
METPOINT®BDL portable. In addition to these operating instructions, local and national regu-
lations need to be observed, where required.
If you have any queries regarding these instructions or the device, please contact the
manufacturer.
Danger!
Supply voltage!
The contact with non-insulated parts carrying supply voltage involves the risk of an electric
shock resulting in severe injuries and death.
Measures:
•Observe all regulations in effect during the electrical installation (e.g. VDE 0100)!
•Maintenance works must only be carried out when the system is de-energized!
•Any electrical works must only be carried out by authorised and skilled personnel.
Danger!
Inadmissible operating parameters!
Under-running or exceeding the limit values involves risks for persons and the material, and
malfunction and service failures may occur.
Measures:
•Make sure that the METPOINT®BDL portable is operated only within the permissible limit values
that are indicated on the type plate.
•Exact compliance with the performance data of the METPOINT®BDL portable in connection with the
case of application.
•Do not exceed the permissible storage and transport temperature.
Further safety advice:
•During installation and operation, the national regulations and safety instructions in force also need to
be observed.
•The METPOINT®BDL portable must not be employed in hazardous areas.
Additional instructions:
•Do not overheat the device!
•The METPOINT®BDL portable must not be disassembled!
Caution!
Malfunctions of the METPOINT®BDL portable
Through incorrect installation and insufficient maintenance, malfunctions of the METPOINT®
BDL portable may occur. These can affect the indications and lead to misinterpretations.

Field of application
METPOINT®BDL portable 7
4 Field of application
The new METPOINT®BDL portable is a universally employable hand-held measuring device for many ap-
plications in the industry like, for example:
►Consumption/flow measurement
►Pressure/vacuum measurement
►Temperature measurement
►Residual moisture/dew point measurement
With the 3.5" graphics display with a touch screen, operation is very easy.
The graphical presentation of the colored measuring curve is unique.
Up to 100 million measured values can be stored with a date and measuring point.
The measured values can be transmitted to the PC via USB stick.
At the freely configurable sensor input, the following sensors can optionally be connected:
Pressure transducers (overpressure and negative pressure)
Consumption sensors, FS 109/211
Temperature sensors PT 100, 4 ... 20 mA
Dew point sensors DP 109/110 and SD 21/23
Electr. power meters
Any external sensors with the following signals: 0 …1/10/30V,
0/4 …20mA,
Pt100, PT1000,
5 Proper use
The METPOINT®BDL portable hand-held measuring device serves for the mobile measured data acquisi-
tion and storage of analogue and digital input signals in non-hazardous areas.
The METPOINT®BDL portable hand-held measuring device is exclusively designed and constructed for the
proper application purpose that is described herein and must only be used correspondingly.
A check in order to ascertain whether or not the device is suitable for the chosen employment must be car-
ried out by the user. It must be ensured that the medium is compatible with the components which come into
contact with it. The technical data listed in the data sheet are binding.
Improper handling or operation outside the technical specifications is impermissible. Claims of any kind on
the basis of improper use are excluded.

7 Storage and transport
Despite all due care and attention, transport damage cannot be excluded. Therefore, check the
METPOINT® BDL portable for possible transport damage subsequent to transport and removal of the pack-
aging material. The forwarding agent and BEKO TECHNOLOGIES or the BEKO TECHNOLOGIES agency
shall be informed immediately about any kind of damage.
Warning!
Overheating!
Overheating will destroy the evaluation unit. Observe the permissible storage and transport
temperature, as well as the permissible operating temperature (e.g. protect the measuring
device against direct sunlight).
Warning!
Damage possible!
Damage may occur to the METPOINT®BDL portable through improper transport or storage.
Measures
•The METPOINT® BDL portable must only be transported or stored by authorised and trained skilled
personnel.
•In addition, observe the respectively valid regional provisions and directives.
Caution!
Danger through damaged components!
Do not start-up a damaged METPOINT®BDL portable. Defective components can impair the
operational reliability, falsify the measuring results, and cause further damage.
Store the METPOINT®BDL portable in its original packaging
in a closed, dry, and frost-protected room. The ambient tem-
peratures must not exceed/underrun the values indicated on
the type plate.
Protect the device against atmospheric influences even when
packaged.
