1 Safety instructions
1.1 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
•
A
s 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.
• The designated operation of the measuring device is battery operation without connection to
the charger.
• The transmitter having the ingress protection IP 40 is intended for operation in dry, clean and
non-hazardous environment. Mechanical stresses are to be avoided.
• 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.
1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation
• The measuring device must only be installed, connected, commissioned and maintained by
qualified and authorized specialists (e.g. electrical technicians) 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.

1.3 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.
• 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.
• The device must be wired as specified in the wiring and connection diagrams.
Interconnection must be permitted.
• 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.
• Endress+Hauser will be happy to assist in clarifying any questions on approvals, their
application and implementation.
1.4 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.

2.1 Installation conditions
2.1.1 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.

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.

2.2 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.
3. Mechanical preparation of the Clamp On holders for the sensors:
– Mount the sensor holder (DN 15 to 65 / ½ to 2½")
– Premount the strapping bands (DN 50 to 200 / 2 to 8") or
(DN 250 to 4000 / 10 to 160")
2.3 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") or DN 15 to 65 (½ to 2½")
• Number of traverses
