1 Scope of the Brief Operating Instructions
Many versions of the Prosonic Flow 93 measuring system are available to suit different
applications. These Brief Operating Instructions describe how to use the Prosonic Flow P and W
versions (Clamp-on with strapping bands) and determine the installation distances via the
transmitter.
The procedure to be followed for all other versions is described in the Operating Instructions on
the CD-ROM.

2 Safety instructions
2.1 Designated use
• The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for
measuring the flow rate of liquids in closed pipes, e.g.:
– Acids, alkalis, paints, oils
– Liquid gas
– Ultrapure water with low conductivity, water, wastewater
• As well as measuring the volume flow, the sound velocity of the fluid is also always measured.
Different fluids can be distinguished or the fluid quality can be monitored.
• Any use other than that described here compromises the safety of persons and the entire
measuring system and is, therefore, not permitted.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
2.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
• The measuring device must only be installed, connected, commissioned and maintained by
qualified and authorized specialists (e.g. electrical technicians, qualified welders - depending
on the task) in full compliance with the instructions in these Brief Operating Instructions, the
applicable norms, legal regulations and certificates (depending on the application).
• The specialists must have read and understood these Brief Operating Instructions and must
follow the instructions they contain. If you are unclear on anything in these Brief Operating
Instructions, you must read the Operating Instructions (on the CD-ROM). The Operating
Instructions provide detailed information on the measuring device.
• The measuring device may only be modified if such work is expressly permitted in the
Operating Instructions (on the CD-ROM).
• Repairs may only be performed if a genuine spare parts kit is available and this repair work is
expressly permitted.
• If performing welding work on the piping, the welding unit may not be grounded by means
of the measuring device.
2.3 Operational safety
• The measuring device is designed 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. Relevant regulations
and standards have been observed.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Endress+Hauser distributor will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.
• The information on the warning notices, nameplates and connection diagrams affixed to the
device must be observed. These contain important data on the permitted operating conditions,
the range of application of the device and information on the materials used.

Proline Prosonic Flow 93 Safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 5
• If the device is not used at atmospheric temperatures, compliance with the relevant marginal
conditions as specified in the device documentation supplied (on CD-ROM) is mandatory.
• Observe the technical data on the nameplate.
• The device must be wired as specified in the wiring and connection diagrams.
Interconnections must be permitted.
• All parts of the device must be included in the potential equalization of the system.
• Cables, certified cable glands and certified dummy plugs must be suitable to withstand the
prevailing operating conditions, (ambient temperature range, process conditions).
Housing apertures that are not used must be sealed with certified dummy plugs.
• When hot fluids pass through the measuring tube, the surface temperature of the housing
increases. In the case of the sensor, in particular, users should expect temperatures that can
be close to the fluid temperature. If the temperature of the fluid is high, implement sufficient
measures to prevent burning or scalding.
• Hazardous areas
Measuring devices for use in hazardous areas are labeled accordingly on the nameplate.
Relevant national regulations must be observed when operating the device in hazardous areas.
The Ex documentation on the CD-ROM is an integral part of the entire device documentation.
The installation regulations, connection data and safety instructions provided in the
Ex documentation must be observed. The symbol on the front page provides information on
the approval and certification body (0Europe, 2USA, 1Canada). The nameplate also
bears the documentation number of this Ex documentation (XA***D/../..).
• Endress+Hauser will be happy to assist in clarifying any questions on approvals, their
application and implementation.
2.4 Safety conventions
#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 device. 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 device.

3.1 Installation conditions
3.1.1 Dimensions
For the dimensions of the measuring device, see the associated Technical Information on the
CD-ROM.
Mounting location
Correct flow measurement is possible only if the pipe is full. Entrained air or gas forming in the
pipe can result in an increase in measuring errors. For this reason avoid the following mounting
locations in the pipe:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.
A0001103
Orientation
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 when the fluid is stagnant.
The piping can be completely drained and protected against solids buildup.
Horizontal
In the recommended installation range in a horizontal installation position (View B), gas and air
collections at the pipe cover and problematic deposits at the bottom of the pipe have a smaller
influence on measurement.

Inlet and outlet run
If possible, install the sensor well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc.
Compliance with the following inlet and outlet runs is recommended in order to ensure
measuring accuracy.

3.2 Preparatory steps prior to installation
Depending on the conditions specific to the measuring point (e.g. Clamp-on, number of
traverses, fluid, etc.), a number of preparatory steps have to be taken before actually installing
the sensors:
1. Using the conditions specific to the measuring point, determine which installation
distances are necessary for installation.
2. Determine the values for the requisite installation distances.
A number of methods are available for determining the values:
– Local operation of the device
– FieldCare (operating program) procedure explained in the Operating Instructions on
the CD-ROM
– Applicator (software) procedure explained in the Operating Instructions on the
CD-ROM
3. Mechanical preparation of the Clamp-on holders for the sensors:
– Premount the strapping bands: DN 50 to 200 (2 to 8") or DN 250 to 4000 (10 to 160")
– Fix the welded bolts procedure explained in the Operating Instructions on the
CD-ROM
3.3 Determining the necessary installation distances
The installation distances that are necessary for installation depend on:
• The type of sensor: Prosonic Flow P (DN 50 to 4000 / 2 to 160"),
Prosonic Flow P (DN 15 to 65 / ½ to 2½") or Prosonic Flow W
• Insertion version: Clamp-on with strapping band or welded bolt, installation in pipe
• Number of traverses or single-path/dual-path version
