‣Trained, qualified specialists must have a relevant qualification for this specific function
and task.
‣Are authorized by the plant owner/operator.
‣Are familiar with federal/national regulations.
‣Before starting work, read and understand the instructions in the manual and

2.2 Designated use
Application and media
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is intended only for flow
measurement of liquids.
Depending on the version ordered, the measuring device can also measure potentially
explosive, flammable, poisonous and oxidizing media.
Measuring devices for use in hazardous areas, in hygienic applications or where there is an
increased risk due to process pressure, are labeled accordingly on the nameplate.
To ensure that the measuring device remains in proper condition for the operation time:
‣Keep within the specified pressure and temperature range.
‣Only use the measuring device in full compliance with the data on the nameplate and the
general conditions listed in the Operating Instructions and supplementary documentation.
‣Based on the nameplate, check whether the ordered device is permitted for the intended
use in the hazardous area (e.g. explosion protection, pressure vessel safety).
‣If the ambient temperature of the measuring device is outside the atmospheric
temperature, it is absolutely essential to comply with the relevant basic conditions as
specified in the device documentation.
‣Protect the measuring device permanently against corrosion from environmental
influences.
Incorrect use
Non-designated use can compromise safety. The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused
by improper or non-designated use.
Residual risks
LWARNING
The electronics and the medium may cause the surfaces to heat up or freeze. This
presents a burn hazard!
‣For elevated or low fluid temperatures, ensure protection against contact.
2.3 Workplace safety
For work on and with the device:
‣Wear the required personal protective equipment according to federal/national
regulations.
If mounting the sensors and tensioning bands:
‣Due to the increased risk of cuts, gloves and goggles must be worn.
For welding work on the piping:
‣Do not ground the welding unit via the measuring device.
If working on and with the device with wet hands:
‣Due to the increased risk of electric shock, gloves must be worn.

2.4 Operational safety
Risk of injury!
‣Operate the device in proper technical condition and fail-safe condition only.
‣The operator is responsible for interference-free operation of the device.
2.5 Product safety
This measuring device is designed in accordance with good engineering practice to meet state-
of-the-art safety requirements, has been tested, and left the factory in a condition in which it
is safe to operate.
It meets general safety standards and legal requirements. It also complies with the EU
directives listed in the device-specific EU Declaration of Conformity. Endress+Hauser confirms

2.6 IT security
Our warranty is valid only if the device is installed and used as described in the Operating
Instructions. The device is equipped with security mechanisms to protect it against any
inadvertent changes to the settings.
IT security measures, which provide additional protection for the device and associated data
transfer, must be implemented by the operators themselves in line with their security
standards.

Vertical
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow (View A). With this orientation,
entrained solids will sink and gases will rise away from the sensor area when the medium is
not flowing. Furthermore, the pipe can be completely drained and protected against the
buildup of deposits.

Horizontal
In the recommended installation range with a horizontal orientation (View B), gas and air
accumulations at the top of the pipe and interference from deposit buildup at the bottom of
the pipe can influence the measurement to a lesser degree.
Inlet and outlet runs
If possible, the sensor should be installed upstream from valves, T-sections, pumps etc. If this
is not possible, the inlet and outlet runs indicated below must be maintained at the very
minimum in order to attain the specified level of accuracy of the measuring device. If there are
several flow disturbances present, the longest specified inlet run must be maintained.
For the dimensions and installation lengths of the device, see the "Technical Information"
document, "Mechanical construction" section .
Shorter inlet and outlet runs are possible with the following device versions:
Two-path measurement with 2 sensor sets 1) and FlowDC (for item numbers 1 to 4b):
Up to minimum 2 × DN for inlet run, 2 × DN for outlet run
