Proline Promass 84 MODBUS RS485 Safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 5
1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for measuring the
mass flow rate of liquids and gases. At the same time, the system also measures fluid density and
fluid temperature. These parameters are then used to calculate other variables such as volume flow.
Fluids with widely differing properties can be measured.
Examples:
• Chocolate, condensed milk, liquid sugar
• Oils, fats
• Acids, alkalis, lacquers, paints, solvents and cleaning agents
• Pharmaceuticals, catalysts, inhibitors
• Suspensions
• Gases, liquefied gases, 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.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
Note the following points:
• Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the
measuring instrument must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform
such work by the facility's owner-operator.
The specialist must have read and understood these Operating Instructions and must follow the
instructions they contain.
• The device must be operated by persons authorized and trained by the facility's owner-operator.
Strict compliance with the instructions in the Operating Instructions is mandatory.
• Endress+Hauser will be happy to assist in clarifying the corrosion resistance properties of materials
wetted by special fluids, including fluids used for cleaning. However, small changes of
temperature, concentration or degree of contamination in the process can result in differences in
corrosion resistance. Therefore, Endress+Hauser provides no warranty and assumes no liability
with regard to corrosion resistance of fluid wetted materials in an application. The user is
responsible for choosing suitable fluid wetted materials in the process.
• If carrying out welding work on the piping, the welding unit may not be grounded by means of
the measuring device.
• The installer must ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired in accordance with the
wiring diagrams. The transmitter must be earthed unless special protection measures have been
taken e.g. galvanically isolated power supply SELV or PELV (SELV = Save Extra Low Voltage;
PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage).
• Invariably, local regulations governing the opening and repair of electrical devices apply.
1.3 Operational safety
Note the following points:
• Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate "Ex
documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions. Strict compliance with
the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary documentation is
mandatory.
The symbol on the front of this supplementary Ex documentation indicates the approval and the
certification body (e.g 0Europe, 2USA, 1Canada).
• The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1 , the EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326, and NAMUR recommendations NE 21,
NE 43 and NE 53.

Safety instructions Proline Promass 84 MODBUS RS485
6Endress+Hauser
• For measuring systems used in SIL 2 applications, the separate Manual on functional safety, must
be observed.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Endress+Hauser representative will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.
• The separate document on the Pressure Equipment Directive must be observed for devices used
in Category II, III or IV installations in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive.
1.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a flowmeter requiring repair or calibration, for
example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
Regulation EC No. 1907/2006 REACH.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.
With Promass A and Promass M the threaded process connections must first be removed from the
sensor and then cleaned.
!Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of this manual.
#Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
1.5 Notes on safety conventions and icons
The devices are designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, have been tested, and left the
factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate. The measuring instruments comply with
the applicable standards and regulations in accordance with EN 61010-1, "Protection Measures for
Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, Regulation and Laboratory Procedures". They can,
however, be a source of danger if used incorrectly or for other than the designated use.
Consequently, always pay particular attention to the safety instructions indicated in these Operating
Instructions by the following icons:
#Warning!
"Warning" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result in injury
or a safety hazard. Comply strictly with the instructions and proceed with care.
"Caution!
"Caution" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result in incorrect
operation or destruction of the measuring instrument. Comply strictly with the instructions.
!Note!
"Note" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can have an indirect
effect on operation or trigger an unexpected response on the part of the measuring instrument.

3.1 Incoming acceptance, transport and storage
3.1.1 Incoming acceptance
On receipt of the goods, check the following points:
• 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.
• The covers or caps fitted to the process connections prevent mechanical damage to the sealing
faces and the ingress of foreign matter to the measuring tube during transportation and storage.
Consequently, do not remove these covers or caps until immediately before installation.
• Do not lift measuring devices of nominal diameters > DN 40 (> 1 ½") by the transmitter housing
or the connection housing in the case of the remote version (→å5). Use webbing slings slung
round the two process connections. Do not use chains, as they could damage the housing.
• In the case of the Promass M / DN 80 (3") sensor, use only the lifting eyes on the flanges to lift
the assembly!
#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.

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 permitted storage temperature is range is –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F),
preferably +20 °C (+68 °F).
• Do not remove the protective covers or caps on the process connections until you are ready to
install the device.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.
3.2 Installation conditions
Note the following points:
• No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the
construction of the instrument, for example the secondary containment.
• The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations.
• No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows, T-
pieces, etc.), as long as no cavitation occurs.
• For mechanical reasons and in order to protect the pipe, it is advisable to support heavy sensors.
3.2.1 Dimensions
All the dimensions and lengths of the sensor and transmitter are provided in the separate
documentation entitled "Technical Information".
3.2.2 Mounting location
Entrained gas bubbles in the measuring tube can result in an increase in measuring errors.
Avoid the following locations:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.

Installation in a vertical pipe
The proposed configuration in the following diagram, however, permits installation in a vertical
pipeline. Pipe restrictors or the use of an orifice plate with a smaller cross-section than the nominal
diameter prevent the sensor from running empty during measurement.

System pressure
It is important to ensure that cavitation does not occur, because it would influence the oscillation
of the measuring tube. No special measures need to be taken for fluids which have properties similar
to water under normal conditions.
In the case of liquids with a low boiling point (hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases) or in suction
lines, it is important to ensure that pressure does not drop below the vapor pressure and that the
liquid does not start to boil. It is also important to ensure that the gases that occur naturally in many
liquids do not outgas. Such effects can be prevented when system pressure is sufficiently high.
Consequently, it is generally best to install the sensor:
• downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum),
• at the lowest point in a vertical pipe.

3.2.3 Orientation
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow (direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe).
Orientation Promass A
Vertical:
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow. When fluid is not flowing, entrained
solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring tubes can
be completely drained and protected against solids buildup.
Horizontal:
When installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe. This arrangement
means that no gas or solid deposits can accumulate in the curved measuring tube (single-tube
system).
Do not install the sensor in such a way that it is suspended in the pipe, in other words without
support or attachment. This is to avoid excessive strain at the process connection. The base plate of
the sensor housing is designed for mounting on a tabletop, wall or post.
a0003606
Fig. 8: Vertical and horizontal orientation (Promass A)
Orientation Promass F, M
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow (direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe).
Vertical:
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow (Fig. V). When fluid is not flowing,
entrained solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring
tubes can be completely drained and protected against solids buildup.
Horizontal:
The measuring tubes of Promass F and M must be horizontal and beside each other. When
installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe (Fig. H1/H2). Always avoid
having the transmitter housing in the same horizontal plane as the pipe.

In order to ensure that the permissible ambient temperature range for the transmitter (→ä106)
is not exceeded, we recommend the following orientations:
• For fluids with very high temperatures we recommend the horizontal orientation with the
transmitter head pointing downwards (Fig. H2) or the vertical orientation (Fig. V).
• For fluids with very low temperatures, we recommend the horizontal orientation with the
transmitter head pointing upwards (Fig. H1) or the vertical orientation (Fig. V).

Special installation instructions for Promass F
"Caution!
If the measuring tube is curved and the unit is installed horizontally, adapt the sensor position to
the fluid properties.
a0004581
Fig. 9: Promass F, installed horizontally
1 Not suitable for fluids with entrained solids. Risk of solids accumulating.
2 Not suitable for outgassing fluids. Risk of air accumulating.
3.2.4 Heating
Some fluids require suitable measures to avoid loss of heat at the sensor. Heating can be electric,
e.g. with heated elements, or by means of hot water or steam pipes made of copper or heating
jackets.
"Caution!
• Risk of electronics overheating! Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature
for the transmitter is not exceeded. Consequently, make sure that the adapter between sensor and
transmitter and the connection housing of the remote version always remain free of insulating
material. Note that a certain orientation might be required depending on the fluid temperature
→ä14.
• With a fluid temperature between +200 °C to +350 °C (+392 to +662 °F) the remote version of
the high-temperature version is preferable.
• When using electrical heat tracing whose heat is regulated using phase control or by pulse packs,
it cannot be ruled out that the measured values are influenced by magnetic fields which may
occur, (i.e. at values greater than those permitted by the EC standard (Sinus 30 A/m)). In such
cases, the sensor must be magnetically shielded (except for Promass M).
The secondary containment can be shielded with tin plates or electric sheets without privileged
direction (e.g. V330-35A) with the following properties:
– Relative magnetic permeability μr≥300
– Plate thickness d ≥0.35 mm (≥ 0.014")
• Information on permissible temperature ranges →ä107
Special heating jackets which can be ordered as accessories from Endress+Hauser are available for
the sensors.

3.2.5 Thermal insulation
Some fluids require suitable measures to avoid loss of heat at the sensor. A wide range of materials
can be used to provide the required thermal insulation.
a0004614-ae
Fig. 10: In the case of the Promass F high-temperature version, a maximum insulation thickness of 60 mm (2.4") must
be observed in the area of the electronics/neck.
If the Promass F high-temperature version is installed horizontally (with transmitter head pointing
upwards), an insulation thickness of min. 10 mm (0.4") is recommended to reduce convection. The
maximum insulation thickness of 60 mm (2.4") must be observed.
3.2.6 Inlet and outlet runs
There are no installation requirements regarding inlet and outlet runs. If possible, install the sensor
well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc.
3.2.7 Vibrations
The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations. Consequently, the sensors require no special
measures for attachment.
3.2.8 Limiting flow
For information on the limiting flows, refer to the technical data under the keyword
"Measuring range in non-custody transfer mode" →ä93, "Measuring range in custody
transfer mode" →ä95 or "Limiting flow" →ä107.
