2.1.2 Rechargeable Batteries
The rechargeable batteries can be charged either in installed condition or while removed by
using a battery charger (optional accessory).
WARNING Risk of explosion when charging battery packs in Ex areas
Charge rechargeable battery packs outside of Ex areas only.
Do not charge within Ex areas.
There are two different options to charge the batteries while being installed:
•Power adapter 110...230 V AC using the multifunction socket (Fig. 2-2 no. 1) on the re-
verse side of the enclosure
•External power source 12...14 V DC (e.g. battery, solar module, fuel cell etc.) using ca-
ble via multifunction socket

Sensor wiring diagrams can be found in chapter “25 Connection of Sensors”.
2.2 NivuFlow Mobile Operating Elements
NivuFlow Mobile is activated with the Reed contact in the front side. Use the accompanying
ring magnet ZUB0 NFM MAGNET (Fig. 2-3) to this.
The NivuFlow Mobile is not equipped with any other operating elements. Instrument opera-
tion and the setting of parameters are carried out completely by using smartphone, tablet,
notebook and PC.
Also refer to the instruction manuals of your preferred smartphone, tablet,
notebook or PC.

3.2 Warning notices on the product (option)
General warning label
This symbol is for operators to refer to this instruction manual.
Observing the information contained therein is required in order to maintain protection
measures provided by the instrument during installation procedures and operation.

4 Safeguards and Precautions
Working with NIVUS instruments requires to observe and to follow the safety
measures and precautions below generally and at any time. These notes and warnings
will not be repeated for each description within the document.
WARNING Check danger through explosive gases
Prior to beginning mounting, installation and maintenance make sure to observe any regu-
lations on safety at work as well as to check the potential risk due to explosive gases. Use
a gas warner to check.
When working in the channel system make sure to avoid electrostatic charge:
Avoid unnecessary movements to minimise the risk of static energy accumulating.
Discharge any possible static electricity from your body before you begin to install
sensors.
Disregarding may lead to personal injury or damage your equipment.
