å 5 Orientation of sensor with curved measuring tube
1 Avoid this orientation for fluids with entrained solids: Risk of solids accumulating.
2 Avoid this orientation for outgassing fluids: Risk of gas accumulating.
Inlet and outlet runs
No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence, such as valves, elbows
or T-pieces, as long as no cavitation occurs (® ä 19).

6.1.2 Requirements from environment and process
Ambient temperature range
Measuring device –40 to +60 °C (–40 to +140 °F)
Local display –20 to +60 °C (–4 to +140 °F), the readability of the display may be impaired at
temperatures outside the temperature range.
►If operating outdoors:
Avoid direct sunlight, particularly in warm climatic regions.
System pressure
It is important that cavitation does not occur, or that gases entrained in the liquids do not outgas.
Cavitation is caused if the pressure drops below the vapor pressure:
• In liquids that have a low boiling point (e.g. hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases)
• In suction lines
►Ensure the system pressure is sufficiently high to prevent cavitation and outgassing.

Mounting Proline Promass F 200 HART

For this reason, the following mounting locations are recommended:
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)

Thermal insulation
In the case of some fluids, it is important that the heat radiated from the sensor to the transmitter
is kept to a minimum. A wide range of materials can be used for the required insulation.
NOTICE
Electronics overheating on account of thermal insulation!
►Observe maximum permitted insulation height of the transmitter neck so that the transmitter
head is completely free.

Heating
NOTICE
Electronics can overheat due to elevated ambient temperature!
►Observe maximum permitted ambient temperature for the transmitter (® ä 19).
►Depending on the fluid temperature, take the device orientation requirements into account
(® ä 18).
Heating options
If a fluid requires that no heat loss should occur at the sensor, users can avail of the following heating
options:
• Electrical heating, e.g. with electric band heaters
• Via pipes carrying hot water or steam
• Via heating jackets
Using an electrical trace heating system
If heating is regulated via phase angle control or pulse packages, magnetic fields can affect the
measured values (= for values that are greater than the values approved by the EN standard (sine
30 A/m)).
For this reason, the sensor must be magnetically shielded: the housing can be shielded with tin plates
or electric sheets without a privileged direction (e.g. V330-35A).
The sheet must have the following properties:
•Relative magnetic permeability mr ³ 300
•Plate thickness d ³ 0.35 mm (d ³ )0.014 in
