ISafetyinformation
F The connectionsoftheTC210arefreelyaccessibleduringsettingup.Inorderto
avoiddamagetothecomponents,makesurethatnoelectrostaticdischarge(ESD)
canoccur.
The personcarryingouttheinstallationcan,forexample,dischargehimself/herselfby
touchingthepotentialequalisationline.
F Toavoiderroneousoperation and problems, the operating manualmust beread
beforeputting the TC210 intooperation.
The TC210 Temperature-VolumeCorrectorfulfilstherequirementsof Category2of the
directive94/9/EC(ATEX)and can be used according toEN1127-1inExZone 1forgases
of GroupIIBand TemperatureClass T4(ignition temperature>135°C, e.g.naturalgas).

1Briefdescription
1.1Functionsandperformancefeatures
Generalremarks:
The TC210 Temperature-VolumeCorrectorisused forthe conversion of the gasvolume
measured intheoperating statebyagasmetertothestandardstate.
Todetermine the measurement conditions, themomentaryvalue ofthe temperatureis
measured. The pressureand gaslawdeviationfactor(K-value)areentered asconstants.
Powersupply:
• Batteryoperation withaservicelifeof uptoeight years.
• Batteryreplacement possiblewithoutloss of dataandwithout violation ofcalibration seals.
• Dataretentionwithout batterysupplydue tointernalEEPROM.
Operatorinterface:
• 12-characterLCD display, descriptionof valueswithshort designations.
• Operationviaakey;specialfunctionsbypressing the keyforatleast twoseconds.
• Restricted programming viakeypadpossible.
• Displayvaluescanbe freelyassignedbyuser.
• Calibration switch(separatelysealed on the device).
• Twouserlocks(supplier'sand customer'slocks)withnumericalcodes.
• Accessrightsforeachindividualvalue can be set separatelyviainterface(withappropriate
rights).
Pulse / signal inputs:
• 2intrinsicallysafepulseinputsforreed contactsortransistorswitches, programmableas
pulseorsignalinputs.
• Maximumcountingfrequency 2Hz.
• Pulsevaluedecadecan beset foreachinput.
• VariouscountersforVband V(maincounter, disturbancequantities, totaliser, adjustable
counter).
• Inputscanbe sealed togetherwithone coveringcap forsecurityundercalibration regula-
tions.
Pulse / signal outputs:
• Twotransistoroutputs,eachfreelyprogrammableasalarm/warning output.
• Pulsedurationadjustableon pitchof 125 ms(max. output frequency:4Hz).
• Eachoutputcan beseparatelysealed and secured underofficialcalibration.

Datainterface:
• Opticalinterfaceaccording toIEC1107.
Temperaturesensor:
• Pt500 temperaturesensor.
Mechanical details/housing:
• Suitableforwall mounting and meterinstallation (withmounting plates).
• Mounting +deviceinstallation without breaking the calibration seals.
• Ambienttemperaturerange:-30°C...+60°C
(At T<-20°Cit isnot possibletoread thedisplayandsoconvenient operation isonlypos-
sibleusing theWinPADSparameterisation software.)
• Class of protection:IP65, non-condensing atmosphere.
Approvals:
• PTBapproval.
• ExapprovalforuseinExZone 1according toEExibIIBT4.

2.4.1Differentiatingbetweenvalues(dataclasses)
The methodsof entering and changing valuesdifferdependingon thevalue.Theseare
thereforesubdivided intoso-called"dataclasses"(abbreviation: "DC"). Valuesinthesame
dataclass aretreated identicallyduring entry.Aprerequisiteforan entryisthat the lock
assigned tothe valueisopen.
The followingdataclasses(DC)arepresentinthe TC210:
DC
Type Entry, changeusing"ENTER"
1 Displaytest Nochange possible.
2 Function Function isinitiated bypressingthe keyforatleasttwoseconds.
3 Constant Nochange possible.
4 Measurement The valueisupdated bypressing the keyforat least twoseconds.
5 Status Nochange possible.
7 Discretevalue Whenthe keyispressedforatleasttwoseconds, the value can
be changedbyusingthe keytoselectfromalist ofpossibleval-
ues.
8 Permanent

tion.
Withanopen lock, the combination ischangedbythe entry.
