1.3 Proper use of the device
A Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor is intended for use solely for direct and continuous mass flow measurement
of liquids and gases, irrespective of their conductivity, density, temperature, pressure, or viscosity. The
sensor is also intended for use for the direct and continuous mass flow measurement of chemical fluids,
suspensions, molasses, paint, varnish, lacquer, pastes and similar materials.
Warning
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the material used in the sensor
and housing is suitable and that such material meets the requirements for
the fluid being used and the ambient site conditions.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in regard to such material and housing.
Warning
In order for the device to perform correctly and safely, it must be shipped, stored,
set up, mounted operated and maintained properly.
Warning
Only sensors signed as Ex-proofed on their rating plates must be used in ex
hazardous areas!
Standard equipment is not allowed to be used in ex hazardous areas.
For installation of the sensor and transmitter within hazardous areas read „Opera-
tion manual of explosion-proof flow meters “. It contains also all ex-relevant charac-
teristic values for the sensors and the transmitter UMC4.
1.4 Installation and servicing

nel such as a qualified Heinrichs Messtechnik electronics engineer or service technician.
Warning
Before servicing the device, it must be completely switched off, and discon-
nected from all peripheral devices. The technician must also check to ensure
that the device is completely off-circuit. Only original replacement parts are to be
used.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH accepts no liability for any loss or damage of any kind arising from
improper operation of any product, improper handling or use of any replacement part, or from
external electrical or mechanical effects, overvoltage or lightning. Any such improper operation,
use or handling shall automatically invalidate the warranty for the product concerned.

OPERATING MANUAL HPC & UMC4
1.5 Returning your flow meter for servicing or calibration
Before sending your flow meter back to us for servicing or calibration, make sure it is completely clean.
Any residues of substances that could be hazardous to the environment or human health are to be re-
moved from all crevices, recesses, gaskets, and cavities of the housing before the device is shipped.
Warning
The operator is liable for any loss or damage of any kind, including personal injury,
decontamination measures, removal operations and the like that are attributable to
inadequate cleaning of the device.
Any device sent in for servicing is to be accompanied by a certificate as
specified in Section 19 “Decontamination certificate for device cleaning”.
The device is to be accompanied by a document describing the problem with the device. Please include
in this document the name of a contact person that our technical service department can get in touch with
so that we can repair your device as expeditiously as possible and therefore minimize the cost of repair-
ing it.
1.6 Replacement of the transmitter electronics
Before replacing the transmitter electronics, read the safety instructions in Section 1.4 Installation and
servicing on page 11.
The data memory chip (DAB) with the calibrating data of the sensor is an integral component of the con-
trol unit (display BE4). Removal and installation is described in chapter 7.2.1 DSB data memory module
on page 28.
At an exchange of transmitter electronics, all electronics board must be exchanged. That comprises all
circuit boards in the electronic compartment and in the terminal compartment. The overall accuracy of the
measurement up to the analogous outputs is only guaranteed in such a way. Only the control unit with the
integrated memory for the calibrating data of the sensor remains in the device.
Caution
The complete insert is to be replaced with all of its printed boards (except for
the memory module). This is particularly important for the explosion-proof
transmitter. The specified precision and interchangeability of the electronics are
only guaranteed if the complete insert is replaced.

OPERATING MANUAL HPC & UMC4

2. Maintenance
2.1 Transmitter
The transmitter is maintenance-free.
We recommend cleaning the sight-glass in regular intervals; check the enclosure for corrosion damages
and the solid seat of the cable glands.
2.2 Coriolis mass flow sensor
The sensor is generally maintenance-free. The function only is influenced by corrosion or by deposits
inside the inside of the measuring pipes. Therefore both have to be avoided mandatorily. Deposits have
to be removed by suitably washing up or cleaning the internal pipes and splitter. Otherwise the measuring
precision cannot be obtained.
Danger
In the case of a loop breakage, e. g. due to corrosion, medium leaks, fills the enclo-
sure. Medium can get into the mounted transmitter or terminal box also (particularly at
high process pressures)!
The transmitter can stand under pressure, too.
Take care if there are:
Visible discolourations or humidity condensation at the sight-glass of the transmitter,
corrosion damages to the enclosure,
deformation of the sensor enclosure.

4. The HPC sensor
4.1 Application domain of the HPC sensor
The HPC sensor is intended for use solely for direct and continuous mass flow measurement of liquids
and gases, irrespective of their conductivity, density, temperature, pressure, or viscosity. The sensor is
also intended for use for the direct and continuous mass flow measurement of chemical fluids, sus-
pensions, molasses, paint, varnish, lacquer, pastes and similar materials.
4.2 Mode of operation
4.2.1 Measuring principle
The Coriolis mass flow meter is based on the
principle whereby in a rotating system a force
(known as the Coriolis force) is exerted on a
mass at a rotation point that is moving towards
or away from this point.
4.2.2 System configuration
The flow meter consists of a sensor that is
mounted in a pipe, and a transmitter (see Section 6 Application domain of the UMC4 on pp. 27), that
can be directly mounted on the sensor or installed separately (e.g. on a wall).
The transmitter oscillates the flow tubes in the sensor over a excitation coil and picks up, via the sen-
sor coil, the measuring signal which is proportional to the mass flow. After being temperature compen-
sated, the measuring signal is converted into an analog output signal that is consistent with the meas-
uring range setting.
4.2.3 Measured variables
Measured variables: mass flow, density, temperature;
Calculated: Volume flow is calculated from the mass-flow and density

4.4.3 Pressure surges
Pressure surges in a pipe could be provoked by a sudden decrease in flow caused by rapid closing of
a valve or similar factors. This change in pressure can lead to negative pressure downstream from a
valve that has been closed rapidly, and to outgassing. If the valve is mounted directly on the inlet sec-
tion of the flow meter, a gas bubble can form in the flow tube that can cause a measuring signal dis-
turbance which would shift the zero point of the output signal. In extreme cases, a pressure surge
could cause mechanical damage to the sensors and/or flow tubes.
Whenever possible, quick-closing valves should be mounted downstream from the sensor. If this is not
feasible, such valves are to be mounted a minimum of 10 x DIA (Φ) from the nearest sensor. Alterna-
tively, valve closing speed can be reduced.

4.4.4 Using the device with hazardous fluids
The sealing technology used in the standard HPC mass flow meter renders the device unsuitable for
use with hazardous fluids. Only sensors that meet the standards for safety instruments are suitable for
use with hazardous fluids.
The pathway between the sensor and transmitter must be pressure-tight so as to prevent fluid from
leaking out of a sensor in the event a sensor develops a defect.
In the case of welded components, a colored liquid penetration test may be performed on the welds, or
one joint (only the foremost seam) may be x-rayed. Alternatively, an internal pressure monitoring de-
vice can be used to detect any defect.
4.4.5 Vibration stability
The sensors are insensitive to vibration; vibration stability has been validated in accordance with
DIN IEC 68-2-6, for up to 1 g at 10 to 150 Hz.
If pipe vibration is greater than 1 g in the 5-2000 Hz range, additional mounting supports are to be
installed as shown in the following drawing. These supports will prevent vibration from affecting the
device’s mechanical configuration and/or measurement readings.

The above example represents a pipeline installation. The table and wall variant, with their accesso-
ries, are not affected by the representation.
