2.Note
Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit
into operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein.
The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar
with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations
applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
By usage in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EC-machine guidelines.
PED 2014/68/EU
In acc. with Article 4 Paragraph (3), "Sound Engineering Practice", of the PED
2014/68/EU no CE mark.

3.Regulation Use
The model OVZ is an oval gear, positive displacement flowmeter which can be
used to measure and monitor the flowrate of viscous liquid (min. 10 mm²/s to
max. 800 mm²/s); (max. viscosity 1000 mm²/s upon request). Only measure
clean, non-abrasive liquids with adequate lubricating properties, and against
which the materials used in the sensor case are chemically resistant. Ferrite
particles may become deposited on the oval gears as they do contain permanent
magnets, - thus causing maloperation, or destruction of the oval wheel. We
recommend our model MF-RI... magnetic filter if the liquid contains a high
concentration of ferrous solids. In case of uncertainty, please consult your
supplier.

4.Operating Principle
The OVZ oval wheel meter is a positive-
displacement flowmeter. The measuring
element comprises two toothed precision
oval gearwheels, which are driven by the
liquid inlet pressure. As the liquid rotates the
gears, a fixed quantity of liquid is transported
through the chambers for every turn of the
oval-wheel pair. Permanent magnets or
stainless steel pins are embedded in the oval
gear-wheels. The rotary gear motion is
converted to a pulse signal by electrical sensors externally fitted into the casing.
The pulse count is a measure of the flow rate. The signals are evaluated by
downstream electronics (optional).
5.Instrument Inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should the damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection
of the delivery packing. In case of damage, please inform your parcel
service/forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages
during transit.

OVZ K03/0416 page 5
6.Mechanical Connection
Before installation:
Make sure that the actual flow rate corresponds with the measuring range of
the meter.
Make sure that the approved maximum operating pressure and operating
temperature of the meter are not exceeded.
Remove all transport restraints and ensure that there are no pieces of
packaging left in the meter.
Make sure that there are no welding beads, metal filings, or other pollutants, in
the piping. We strongly recommend you to connect a suitable filter in series
(filtration 30 m).
Installation:
The OVZ may be installed in any position; the liquid may flow in both
directions.
Inlet and outlet pipes are not required.
The connection threads may be sealed with sealing tape etc.
When installing the meters, make sure that the connection threads are not
subjected to large pressure or tensile loads. We recommend that you
mechanically secure the inlet and outlet line approximately 50 mm from the
connections.
If possible, you should check that the joint connections are sealed and leak-
free after mechanical installation.

7.Electrical Connection
7.1. General
Important! Make sure that the voltages in your plant correspond
with the voltages on the nameplate.
Make sure that the electrical supply lines are dead.
Meters with connectors: solder the ends of the connection cable according
to the wiring diagram in the accompanying portable socket-outlets.
Meters with cable connections: connect the connection cable with the
supply cable.
Important! If the connections are incorrectly assigned, the sensor
may be seriously damaged.

OVZ K03/0416 page 9
9.Mechanical Operation
To avoid pressure peaks, the flow medium should flow slowly into the meter.
Important! Pressure peaks arising from a sudden influx of liquid,
caused by solenoid valves, ball valves etc, may seriously damage the
meter (water hammer!). Ensure that the sensor is always filled with
medium when in the operating state.
Important! Vent the piping, to prevent large air bubbles in the sensor
chamber which may cause measuring errors, erratic flow reading and
can possibly seriously damage the bearings.

13. Maintenance
The meter requires no maintenance if the measured medium is not contaminated.
Should it be necessary to clean the meter, the case cover can be easily removed
to gain access to, and clean, the inside of the case (see Sec. 12. Dismantling
/Installation).
14. Dismantling / Installation
Dismantling:
Drain piping.
Loosen cover screws and remove cover and O-ring.
Mark the position of the gearwheels relative to one another with a pencil.
Remove the pair of oval gearwheels and clean parts with care; do not scratch
the sealing faces.
Caution: Do not remove the gearwheel position marking!
Installation:
Install the pair of oval gearwheels; note identifying marking.
Rotate gearwheels a number of times: they should not disengage.
Insert O-ring; replace cover and firmly tighten screws crosswise.
15. Recommended spare parts
1.0 Pair of oval gearwheels
2.0 NBR, FPM, or EPDM O-ring
3.0 POM, PMMA, PSU, or AL cover
Always specify the meter model when ordering spare parts.
