2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The flow meter of the series EE771, based on the measurement principle of thermal mass flow, is suited for
the measurement of flow of air and gases in pipelines. Measurement of for instance the consumption of com-
pressed air, nitrogen, helium, argon, CO2or other non-corrosive and non-flammable gases.
The EE771 measures the volume flow at standard conditions according to DIN 1343 (P0= 1023.25 mbar;
t0= 273.15 K or 0 °C (32 °F). In addition to the standard volume flow, the measurand mass flow, norm flow
and temperature are available.
The EE771 has an integrated consumption counter. The consumption quantity is indicated in the display and
is not lost after a power failure. Two signal outputs are available. Depending on the application, the outputs
can be configured as analogue (current or voltage), switch output or as pulse output for the measurement of
the consumption.
Signal conditioning with optional display
The enclosure with the signal conditioning is mounted either on the
measurement probe (model A or B compact) or is remote with a
plugable sensor cable up to 10 meter (33 feet) (model C with remote
probe).
1
Screw cap
The screw cap, with female thread, is screwed in place if the flow
meter is not installed and the pipeline has to be used.
5
Sensor cable (only by model C with remote sensing probe)
The sensor cable allows for the remote installation, up to 10 meter
(33 feet), of the sensing probe from the housing with the signal condi-
tioning.
3
Measurment valve with shut-off function
The measurement ball valve assembly allows for the easy and reliable
installation within the pipeline. During installation in the pipeline,
observe the required inlet and outlet paths (see page 10). The
nominal size of the measurement ball valve assembly must match the
nominal size of the pipe.
The measurment valve with shut-off function allows for the instalment
and removal of the sensing probe with only interrupting the process
flow for a short moment. The measurement ball valve assembly is
suitable for pressures up to 16 bar (PN16) and available for pipe diam-
eters DN15 (1/2”) to DN50 (2”).

3.2. Determining installation site
• The installation site should be easy accessible and free of vibrations and shocks
• Observe at least 120 mm (5 inch) clearance above the housing with the signal conditioning, in
order to be able to remove the sensing probe if necessary.
• The ambient temperature should not exceed the value as stated in the specifications (see page 20)
– consider heating by radiation.
• Air purity on the installation site according to ISO 8573-1:2010: at least class 3.4.4
• The fluid should not condense at the installation site. Condensation on the tip of the sensing probe
must be avoided.
• In compressed air systems, the installation must be downstream of the dryer. If there is no dryer, at
least steam trap and suitable filter must be present.
• Observe the direction of the flow by the installation (see page 11).
• Observe the recommended straight pipe lengths up and downstream, in order to warrant the speci-
fied measurement accuracy.
• The flow meter should be installed as far as possible from any flow disturbance. Valves or check-
valves should be installed in a respective distance from the flow meter.
3.2.1. Process pressure
Because of the measuring principle the thermal mass flow meter EE771 is largely independent of the process
pressure and is factory calibrated at a pressure of 7 bar (100 psi).
In order to achieve the highest measurement accuracy, the slight dependence on process pressure can be
compensated for in two ways:
• if the process pressure is stable, by programming the pressure value in the configuration software
(see page 30).
• in case of strong fluctuations of the process pressure (e.g. 3 to 10 bar (40 to 150 psi)) an external
pressure transmitter can be installed and connected to the pressure-compensation input
(see page 31).
In order to install or remove the measurement section the pipeline system should
be depressurized.

3.4. Required length of straight pipe
The flow meter should be installed as far as possible from disturbances of the flow. The causes for disturbance
of the flow are for instance, reducers, elbows, T-pieces, valves, gate valves, etc. The specified measurement
accuracy can be achieved only when the following straight inlet and outlet pipe lengths are installed:
• The wall thickness of the inlet and outlet pipe should be 2,6 mm.
• The stated values are as a minimum. If possible, allow for greater distances.
• Valves or gate valves should be installed downstream of the flow meter.
• With lighter gases the inlet straight pipe should be longer.

3.5. Assembly of the measurement ball valve
• All connections to be made with appropriated sealing material on the threads.
• The sealing material should not change the area of the inner cross section of the pipe. It must be
warranted that the connections after installation are free of leaks.
• All fittings must be tested on seal tightness.
• Make sure during the assembly of the measurement section that the arrows on the pipe section
and the measurement ball valve are pointing in the same direction as the flow.
• The recess for the alignment pin must be at the side of the outlet.

3.5.1. Assembly without flow meter, but with screw cap instead (blind cap)
In order to use the measurement section without the flow meter, the blind screw cap (in
the scope of supply) must be screwed tight onto the opening of the measurment ball
valve. If not needed the screw cap can be screwed and stored on the handle of the
measurment valve with shut-off function.
3.5.2. Shut off the measurement ball valve
The measurment ball valve assembly allows for the installation and removal of the flow meter within seconds,
with only a very short interruption of the flow.
OPEN CLOSED
Never remove the flow meter
or the blind screw cap while
the measurement ball valve
is open.
That is extremely danger-
ous!

12
3.6.2. Installation of the sensing probe
Make sure that the measurment ball valve is shut off.
• Remove transport protection cap of the head of the sensing probe.
• Mount the sensing probe in the measurment valve with shut-off function in such a way that the
alignment pin fits in the recess on the measurement ball valve.
• Screw the retainer nut by hand so far that a certain resistance is noticeable.
• Check the correct installation position of the flow meter. The alignment pin must fit in the recess on
the measurment ball valve.
• Tighten the red coloured retainer nut by hand. Tightening by hand should be sufficient. However, if
the seal is not leak tight carefully tighten the nut with an appropriate tool a bit further
• The mechanical installation of the flow meter is therewith completed.
Flow Direction
3.6. Installation of the flow meter sensing probe
3.6.1. Flow direction
The flow direction is indicated with an arrow on the tip of the probe. Due to the alignment pin is the installation
of the sensing probe in the measurment ball valve only possible in the direction of the flow. After a removal,
the sensing probe will be re-installed in the measurement section in exactly the same position as done at the
factory. Hence, the highest reproducibility is guaranteed.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before electrical connections are made turn off the power supply first. If not observed the electronics can be
damaged as a result.
Only a qualified electrotechnical engineer may install the device.
• Unscrew the four screws and remove the cover of the housing.
• The screw terminals are located in the bottom part of the housing.
• For the electrical connection of the flow meter a six-wire cable is needed (e.g. 6 x 1 mm2(AWG
17))
4.1. Connection diagram
• Screw terminal OUT 1-1 for the analogue output is internally connected with GND.
• The housing should be grounded to achieve optimal electromagnetic compliance.

6. ERROR MESSAGES
In case the flow meter is equipped with the optional display, the following error message can be indicated.
ERROR 01: sensing probe is not detected
Cause: the sensing probe is not connect or is defect
Effect: the display indicates “0” for all measurand. The analogue output defaults to the lowest
configured value.
Action: check the head of the sensing probe for visual damage.
check the sensor cable from the sensing probe to the electronics of the signal conditioning.
ERROR 02: the EEprom is defect
Cause: the EEPROM for the storing of the consumption counter and MIN /MAX value is defect.
Effect: the consumption counter and MIN / MAX values are no longer available. All measure-
ment values though are still indicated. The analogue, relay and pulse output are still
functional.
Action: return the flow meter to the manufacturer.

7. MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning of the sensor is necessary is used in applications with wet or filthy gases. Cleaning of the sensor
is necessary prior to calibration or evaluation.
7.1. Removal of the sensing probe of the flow meter
• Shut off the measurement valve with shut-off function
(see page 11).
• Turn off the power supply, remove the cover and disconnect the
power wires on the screw terminal.
• Loose the retainer nut and pull the sensor probe from the meas-
urement section.
• Operation without the flow meter installed page 11.
7.2. Cleaning of the sensor of the flow meter
Do not use an abrasive cleaning agent, an organic solvent containing halogen or acetone.
• Clean the head of the sensor probe by carefully swirling in warm water of isopropyl alcohol. It is recom-
mended to use isopropyl alcohol if the pollution is crease or oil.
The sensor should not be touch by fingers or solid objects like screwdrivers or brushes!
• Leave the sensor to dry in ambient air.
