1.4 Functional principle
A half-round plate, or flap, is fastened across the
direction of flow to a springmounted rotating spindle
in a ring that is inserted between flanges in a pipeline.
As the flow rate increases, the flap rotates counter
to the restoring force Fof the spring in the direction
of flow.
The ensuing angle of rotation, depending on the
volume rate of flow, is transmitted via a magnetic
coupling to the indicator part.

2 Installation and Start-up
2.1 Prerequisite for the installation
The operating pressure of the plant may not exceed the value indicated on the rating plate.
Ensure that the parts coming into contact with the medium are compatible with the material.
The ambient and medium temperatures may not exceed certain maximum values.
In order to prevent distortions the connecting flanges have to face each other axially and in parallel.
2.3 Preparation of the pipeline
Generally comply with the maximum pressure and maximum temperature levels allowable
for the SDA at the measuring point in your plant. The direction of flow must be the same as that
indicated by the flow arrow on the device.
Drain the pipelines before installing the device.
Use gaskets made of rubber or SIL; for plastics devices, use only gaskets made of rubber with
a Shore hardness A of approx. 65°.
The gaskets should not project into the pipeline and the flow meter must be in line with the pipe
axis, otherwise measurements would be falsified and/or the device could jam.
Incorporating the indicator part in the equipotential bonding system in the hazardous area:
The indicator part must be earthed. This can be done e.g. using a wire jumper between the
flange on the indicator part and a pipe flange on the main pipeline with cable lugs appropriate
for the bolted connection (not included with the flow meter!).
Incorporating the indicator in the lightning protection system (if necessary). The Operator is
responsible for checking and determining the scope!
2.4 Observance of the IP degree (NEMA Type) of protection
The following instructions are to be observed in order to observe the IP degree (Nema Type) of electrical built-
in parts:
●After the connecting cable has been introduced, tighten the outlet nut.
●All the cable glands which are not used remain closed with blanking plugs.
●Do not kink lines directly at the cable gland.
●Provide a drain bend
●The feed lines may not be subjected to mechanical strains. Refer to the description
of the electrical supplementary components for this device.

8.1 Contact inserts
The flowmeter SDA can be equipped with a maximum of two electronic limit
switches.
The limit switch functions with a slot-type initiator which is
operated inductively through the semicircular metal vane
belonging to the measuring pointer. The switching points
are set through the contact pointer. The setting of the
contact pointer serves at the same time for the optical display of the
set limit.

MIN contact
If the pointer vane (1) enters the slot, an alarm is triggered. If the
pointer vane lies outside the slot initiator, a wire break also causes
the alarm to be triggered.
No wire break recognition at SB3,5-E2
Option: Implementation as a maximum contact
In the alarm status the vane lies outside the slot.
Wire break recognition is not available here.
MAX contact
If the pointer vane (1) enters the slot (and thus dampens this initiator),
an alarm is triggered. If the pointer vane lies outside the slot initiator,
a wire break also causes the alarm to be triggered.
No wire break recognition at SB3,5-E2
Option: Implementation as a minimum contact
In the alarm status the vane lies outside the slot.

8.2 Electrical signal output ESK
8.2.1 Electrical connection
The connecting terminals of the M9 display have a pluggable design and can be removed in order to
connect the lines.
8.2.2 HARTTM communication with the ESK
HARTTM communication is not compellingly required in order to operate the ESK.
When HARTTM communication is carried out with the ESK, this does not by any means impair analog
measured value transfer (4...20mA)
Exception at Multidrop operation. In Multidrop operation a maximum of 15 instruments with HARTTM
function can be operated in parallel, whereby their current outputs are switched inactive (approx. 4 mA).
If a HARTTM communicator (type Fisher Rosemount, Model 275) or a PC with HARTTM modem PC is used,
the resistor which is connected in series (Rext.) has to exceed 250 Ohms.
In this type of operation the auxiliary power must amount to at least 18 V. The communicator or the PC is
connected as shown in the drawing above.
It can be operated optionally via the connecting terminals of the ESK (2) or via an external resistance (1)
connected in series. The counter cannot be read out or operated by means of HARTTM communication!

8.2.3 Technical data of ESK II
Auxiliary power 12 (18 * ) to 30 V DC
Measurement signal 4.00 to 20.00 mA for 0 to 100 % flow value
> 20.8 mA for alarm status
Auxiliary power influence < 0.1%
Dependency on external resistance < 0.1%
Temperature influence < 5 μA / K
Max. external resistance / load 0 (250 * ) to 800 Ohms
* These values are to be observed as minimum values during HARTTM communication.
9 Service
9.1 Contact insert
Bring the contact pointers (1) together in the center
Loosen the locking screw (2) of the contact pointers
Slide the contact insert into the third rail until the semicircle (3)
encloses the pointer support.
The connecting terminals of the contact insert have a pluggable
design and can be removed in order to connect the lines.
9.2 Installing an ESK
Assembly is based on the plug-in technique.
Insert the push-in lugs of the ESK under the
two studs of the baseplate (1).
Using slight pressure, press the ESK on to
the spring bolt (2) until it locks home and is securely
fastened.

10 Maintenance
The flowmeter is also to be inspected for soiling, corrosive erosion and mechanical wear or damage to the measuring
tube and the display in the context of the routine operational maintenance of the installation and the pipelines. We
recommend at least annual inspections. In order to clean the instrument remove it from the pipeline.
Note
Pressurized lines have to be relieved before the measuring unit is removed.
Corresponding safety precautions with regard to residual liquids in the measuring unit in case of instruments which are
used to measure aggressive media.
New seals must always be used when remounting the measuring unit in the pipeline.
Electrostatic charges are to be avoided when the surfaces (e.g. viewing window) are cleaned!
Maintenance
The device is normally maintenance-free. Should it become soiled, it will need
to be removed from the pipeline for cleaning. Devices fitted with contacts
must be disconnected from supply and de-energized.
To dismantle the device you will need the following tools:
2x open-jawed spanner, jaw span 13mm
1x open-jawed spanner, jaw span 7mm
1x screwdriver 4x 0.6mm
1x socket spanner, size 7mm up to DN 100 or
1x socket spanner, size 8mm, up to DN 250 or
1x socket spanner, size 10mm, for DN 300 and higher.
Required spares: 2x gasket
If necessary, wear personal protective gear (safety goggles,
protective gloves, conductive footwear).
Depressurize the pipe.
Caution: Slacken screws/bolts only when the system has been de-
energized, the pipe depressurized and free of fluid product.
Drain the pipes.
Remove the device from the pipeline in the reverse order
Detach the dial gauge with magnet casing from the neck of the
device by removing the four M8 screws (Item 1 or 2).
Unscrew the fastening screws (3) between spindle and flap (4).
Pull the spindle together with the magnet casing and the spring
assembly (5) out of the device.
Clean all mechanical parts with appropriate cleaning agents. If
necessary, clean the indicator part with a damp cloth that has been
rinsed in soap suds and wrung out.
Reassemble in the reverse order, paying special attention to the
position of the flap. The bearing marked with a centre punch must
point towards the spring. Do not change the original orientation of
the flap (maintaining the direction of rotation appropriate to the
indicator part ). The flap requires a minimum of 1 mm clearance on
both sides (risk of jamming and sparking).
Hazardous areas: Do not on any account remove the labelling on
the scale casing containing information on explosion protection.
