Wiring Page 47

Basic configuration (device parameters, automation functions) Page 78 ff.
Device-specific parameters are configured and the automation functions
specified for the FOUNDATION Fieldbus interface by means of configuration
programs from various manufacturers.
 Note!
If the measuring device is equipped with a local display, device-specific para-
meters and functions can be configured easily and quickly using the “Commis-
sioning” Quick Setup menu, e.g. display language, measured variables,
engineering units, etc. →see next page.

Customer-specific configuration
Complex measuring operations mean that additional functions must be config-
ured. Users can select these functions individually by means of appropriate
device parameters and configure and customise them to suit their process
conditions. There are two options open:
– Setting parameters via the configuration program (FF) → Page 64
– Setting parameters via the local display (optional) → Page 73 ff.
 Note!
All functions and device parameters are described in detail in the “Description
of Device Functions” manual, which is a separate part of these Operating
Instructions.

Trouble-shooting Page 91 ff.
If faults occur after commissioning or during operation always start trouble-
shooting with the checklist on Page 91. The routine takes you directly to the
cause of the problem and the appropriate remedial measures.
Returning Devices
If you return a measuring device to Endress+Hauser for repair or calibration, you
must complete the “Declaration of contamination” form and enclose it with the
device. You will find a preprinted blank of this form at the back of this manual!

3.1 Incoming acceptance, transport and storage
3.1.1 Incoming acceptance
•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.
•Do not remove the protective plates or caps on the process connections until the
device is ready to install. This is particularly important in the case of sensors with
Teflon linings.
Special notes on flanged devices

Caution:
•The wooden covers mounted on the flanges before the device leaves the factory
protect the linings on the flanges during storage and transportation. Do not remove
these covers until immediately before the device is installed in the pipe.
•Do not lift flanged devices by the transmitter housing, or the connection housing in the
case of the remote version.
Transporting flanged devices (DN ≤300):
Use webbing slings slung round the two process connections (Fig. 3). Do not use
chains, as they could damage the housing.

Warning:
Risk of injury if the measuring device slips. The center of gravity of the assembled meas-
uring 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.

14 Endress +Hauser
Transporting flanged devices (DN ≥ 350):
Use only the metal eyes on the flanges for transporting the device, lifting it and position-
ing the sensor in the piping.

Caution:
Do not attempt to lift the sensor with the tines of a fork-lift truck beneath the metal casing.
This would buckle the casing and damage the internal magnetic coils.
Fig. 4: Transporting sensors with DN ≥ 350
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 permissible storage temperature is −10...+50 °C (preferably +20 °C).
•Do not remove the protective plates or caps on the process connections until the
device is ready to install. This is particularly important in the case of sensors with
Teflon linings.

3.2 Installation conditions
3.2.1 Dimensions
Dimensions and the fitting lengths of the transmitter and sensor are on Page 129 ff.
3.2.2 Mounting location
Correct measuring is possible only if the pipe is full. Avoid the following locations:
•Highest point in the run. Risk of air accumulating
•Directly upstream from an open pipe outlet in a down pipe.
Fig. 5: Location
Installation of pumps
Do not install the sensor on the intake side of a pump. This precaution is to avoid low
pressure and the consequent risk of damage to the lining of the measuring tube.
Information on the lining's resistance to partial vacuum can be found on Page 120.
It might be necessary to install pulse dampers in systems incorporating reciprocating,
diaphragm or peristaltic pumps. Information on the measuring system's resistance to
vibration and shock can be found on Page 117.

Partially filled pipes
Partially filled pipes with gradients necessitate a drain-type configuration. The Empty
Pipe Detection function (see Page 84) offers additional protection by detecting empty
or partially filled pipes.

Caution:
Risk of solids accumulating. Do not install the sensor at the lowest point in the drain. It
is advisable to install a cleaning valve.
Fig. 7: Installation in partially filled pipe
Down pipes
Install a siphon or a vent valve downstream of the sensor in down pipes longer than
5 meters. This precaution is to avoid low pressure and the consequent risk of damage
to the lining of the measuring tube. These measures also prevent the system losing
prime, which could cause air inclusions.

3.2.3 Orientation
An optimum orientation position helps avoid gas and air accumulations and deposits in
the measuring tube. Promag, nevertheless, supplies a range of functions and accesso-
ries for correct measuring of problematic fluids:
•Empty Pipe Detection (EPD) ensures the detection of partially filled measuring tubes,
e.g. in the case of degassing fluids or varying process pressures (see Page 84)
•Exchangeable measuring electrodes for abrasive fluids (see Page 110)
Vertical orientation
This is the ideal orientation for self-emptying piping systems and for use in conjunction
with Empty Pipe Detection.
Fig. 9: Vertical orientation
Horizontal orientation
The measuring-electrode plane should be horizontal. This prevents brief insulation of
the two electrodes by entrained air bubbles.

Caution:
Empty Pipe Detection functions correctly with the measuring device installed horizon-
tally only when the transmitter housing is facing upward (Fig. 10). Otherwise there is no
guarantee that Empty Pipe Detection will respond if the measuring tube is only partially
filled or empty.

3.2.4 Inlet and outlet runs
If possible, install the sensor well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc.
Compliance with the following requirements for the inlet and outlet runs is necessary in
order to ensure measuring accuracy.
•Inlet run ≥ 5 x DN
•Outlet run ≥2 x DN
Fig. 11: Inlet and outlet runs
3.2.5 Vibrations
Secure the piping and the sensor if vibration is severe.

Caution:
It is advisable to install sensor and transmitter separately if vibration is excessively
severe. Information on resistance to vibration and shock can be found on Page 117.

3.2.6 Foundations, supports
If the nominal diameter is DN ≥ 350, mount the transmitter on a foundation of adequate
load-bearing strength.

Caution:
Risk of damage. Do not support the weight of the sensor on the metal casing:
the casing would buckle and damage the internal magnetic coils.

3.2.7 Adapters
Suitable adapters to (E) DIN EN 545 (double-flange reducers) can be used to install the
sensor in larger-diameter pipes. The resultant increase in the rate of flow improves
measuring accuracy with very slow-moving fluids.
The nomogram shown here can be used to calculate the pressure loss caused by cross-
section reduction:

Note:
The nomogram applies to fluids of viscosity similar to water.
1. Calculate the ratio of the diameters d/D.
2. From the nomogram read off the pressure loss as a function of flow velocity
(downstream from the reduction) and the d/D ratio.
Fig. 14: Pressure loss due to adapters
3.2.8 Nominal diameter and flow rate
The diameter of the pipe and the flow rate determine the nominal diameter of the sensor.
The optimum velocity of flow is 2...3 m/s. The velocity of flow (v), moreover, has to be
matched to the physical properties of the fluid:
•v < 2 m/s: for abrasive fluids such as potter's clay, lime milk, ore slurry, etc.
•v > 2 m/s: for fluids producing build-up such as wastewater sludge, etc.

Note:
Flow velocity can be increased, if necessary, by reducing the nominal diameter of the
sensor (see Page 20).
