Commissioning with “QUICK SETUP” Page 83 ff.
You can commission the measuring device quickly and easily, using the special “Quick
Setup” menu. It enables to configure important basic functions using the local display, for
example display language, measured variables, units engineering, type of signal, etc.
The following adjustments can be made separately as necessary:
– Empty-pipe/full-pipe adjustment for empty pipe detection (EPD)
– Configuration of relay contacts (NC or NO contact)
– Configuration of current outputs (active/passive), etc.
▼
Application-specific QUICK SETUPs Page 84 ff.
In “Quick Setup” mode you have the option of launching other, application-specific Quick
Setups, for instance the menu for measuring pulsating flow.
▼
Customer-specific configuration Page 65 ff.
Complex measuring operations necessitate additional functions that you can configure as
necessary with the aid of the function matrix, and customize to suit the process parameters.
All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself, in the “Description of
Device Functions” manual, which is a separate part of this Operating Instruction.
▼
Data storage Page 92 ff.
The configuration of the transmitter can be stored on the integrated T-DAT data storage
device.
!Note!
For time-saving commissioning, the settings stored in the T-DAT can be transmitted:
– For equivalent measuring points (equivalent configuration)
– In the event of device/board replacement.
▼
More detailed configuration Page 97 ff.
The inputs and outputs can be modified on convertible boards by configuring the current
inputs and outputs and relay contacts. The F-CHIP module gives the user the added option
of using software packages for diagnosis, concentration measurement and viscosity.

1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The measuring device described in this Operating Manual is to be used only for measuring the flow
rate of conductive fluids in closed pipes. A minimum conductivity of 20 µS/cm is required for
measuring demineralized water. Most fluids can be metered, provided they have a minimum con-
ductivity of 5 µS/cm, for example:
• acids, alkalis, pastes, mashes, pulps,
• drinking water, wastewater, sewage sludge,
• milk, beer, wine, mineral water, yogurt, molasses, etc.
Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that designated the operational safety of the
measuring devices can be suspended. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages being
produced from this.

3.1 Incoming acceptance, transport and storage
3.1.1 Incoming acceptance
• Check the packaging and the contents for damage.
• Check the shipment, make sure nothing is missing and that the scope of supply matches your
order.
3.1.2 Transport
The following instructions apply to unpacking and to transporting the device to its final location:
• Transport the devices in the containers in which they are delivered.
• Do not remove the protective plates or caps on the process connections until the device is ready
to install. This is particularly important in the case of sensors with PTFE linings.
Special notes on flanged devices
"Caution!
• The wooden covers mounted on the flanges before the device leaves the factory protect the linings
on the flanges during storage and transportation. Do not remove these covers until immediately
before the device is installed in the pipe.
• Do not lift flanged devices by the transmitter housing, or the connection housing in the case of
the remote version.
Transporting flanged devices (DN ≤300):
Use webbing slings slung round the two process connections (Fig. 5). Do not use chains, as they
could damage the housing.
#Warning!
Risk of injury if the measuring device slips. The center of gravity of the assembled measuring device
might be higher than the points around which the slings are slung.
At all times, therefore, make sure that the device does not unexpectedly turn around its axis or slip.

Transporting flanged devices (DN ≥ 350):
Use only the metal eyes on the flanges for transporting the device, lifting it and positioning the
sensor in the piping.
"Caution!
Do not attempt to lift the sensor with the tines of a fork-lift truck beneath the metal casing. This
would buckle the casing and damage the internal magnetic coils.

3.1.3 Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage (and
transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The storage temperature corresponds to the operating temperature range of the measuring
transmitter and the appropriate measuring sensors.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.
• Choose a storage location where moisture does not collect in the measuring device. This will help
prevent fungus and bacteria infestation which can damage the liner.
• Do not remove the protective plates or caps on the process connections until you are ready to
install the device. This is particularly important in the case of sensors with PTFE linings.

3.2 Installation conditions
3.2.1 Dimensions
All the dimensions and lengths of the sensor and transmitter are provided in the separate
documentation “Technical Information”
3.2.2 Mounting location
Correct measuring is possible only if the pipe is full. Avoid the following locations:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating
• Directly upstream a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.
F06-5xxxxxxx-11-00-00-xx-000
Fig. 7: Location
Installation of pumps
Do not install the sensor on the intake side of a pump. This precaution is to avoid low pressure and
the consequent risk of damage to the lining of the measuring tube. Information on the lining's resist-
ance to partial vacuum can be found on →Page 132.
It might be necessary to install pulse dampers in systems incorporating reciprocating, diaphragm or
peristaltic pumps. Information on the measuring system's resistance to vibration and shock can be
found on →Page 129.

Partially filled pipes
Partially filled pipes with gradients necessitate a drain-type configuration. The Empty Pipe Detection
function (see Page 93) offers additional protection by detecting empty or partially filled pipes.
"Caution!
Risk of solids accumulating. Do not install the sensor at the lowest point in the drain.
It is advisable to install a cleaning valve.
F06-5xxxxxxx-11-00-00-xx-002
Fig. 9: Installation in partially filled pipe
Down pipes
Install a siphon or a vent valve downstream of the sensor in down pipes longer than 5 meters. This
precaution is to avoid low pressure and the consequent risk of damage to the lining of the measuring
tube. These measures also prevent the system losing prime, which could cause air inclusions.
Information on the lining's resistance to partial vacuum can be found on Page 132.

3.2.3 Orientation
An optimum orientation position helps avoid gas and air accumulations and deposits in the measur-
ing tube. Promag, nevertheless, supplies a range of functions and accessories for correct measuring
of problematic fluids:
• Electrode Cleaning Circuit (ECC) for applications with accretive fluids, e.g. electrically conduc-
tive deposits →“Description of Device Functions” manual.
• Empty Pipe Detection (EPD) ensures the detection of partially filled measuring tubes, e.g. in the
case of degassing fluids or varying process pressures (see Page 93)
• Exchangeable Measuring Electrodes for abrasive fluids (see Page 120)
Vertical orientation
This is the ideal orientation for self-emptying piping systems and for use in conjunction with Empty
Pipe Detection.
F06-5xxxxxxx-11-00-00-Nxx-004
Fig. 11: Vertical orientation
Horizontal orientation
The measuring electrode plane should be horizontal. This prevents brief insulation of the two
electrodes by entrained air bubbles.
"Caution!
Empty Pipe Detection functions correctly with the measuring device installed horizontally only
when the transmitter housing is facing upward (Fig. 12). Otherwise there is no guarantee that
Empty Pipe Detection will respond if the measuring tube is only partially filled or empty.

Inlet and outlet runs
If possible, install the sensor well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc. Compliance
with the following requirements for the inlet and outlet runs is necessary in order to ensure meas-
uring accuracy.
• Inlet run ≥ 5 x DN
•Outletrun≥2 x DN

3.2.4 Vibrations
Secure the piping and the sensor if vibration is severe.
"Caution!
It is advisable to install sensor and transmitter separately if vibration is excessively severe. Informa-
tion on resistance to vibration and shock can be found on →Page 129.

3.2.5 Foundations, supports
If the nominal diameter is DN ≥ 350, mount the transmitter on a foundation of adequate load-
bearing strength.
"Caution!
Risk of damage. Do not support the weight of the sensor on the metal casing: the casing would
buckle and damage the internal magnetic coils.

3.2.6 Adapters
Suitable adapters to DIN EN 545 (double-flange reducers) can be used to install the sensor in larger-
diameter pipes. The resultant increase in the rate of flow improves measuring accuracy with very
slow-moving fluids.
The nomogram shown here can be used to calculate the pressure loss caused by
cross-section reduction:
!Note!
The nomogram applies to fluids of viscosity similar to water.
1. Calculate the ratio of the diameters d/D.
2. From the nomogram read off the pressure loss as a function of flow velocity (downstream from
the reduction) and the d/D ratio.
F06-5xxxxxxx-05-05-xx-xx-000
Fig. 16: Pressure loss due to adapters
3.2.7 Nominal diameter and flow rate
The diameter of the pipe and the flow rate determine the nominal diameter of the sensor. The opti-
mum velocity of flow is 2…3 m/s. The velocity of flow (v), moreover, has to be matched to the
physical properties of the fluid:
• v < 2 m/s: for abrasive fluids such as potter's clay, lime milk, ore slurry, etc.
• v > 2 m/s: for fluids producing build-up such as wastewater sludge, etc.
!Note!
Flow velocity can be increased, if necessary, by reducing the nominal diameter of the sensor
(see Section 3.2.6).
