Instruction Manual DM08
2.2 Intended use
Magnetic inductive flow sensor DM08 is only intended to be used for measuring and dosing /
batching the flow of electric conductive, liquid media
According to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, only Group 2 fluids are permitted to
be used.
Due to the magnetic field, the device can be used to measure flow rates up to 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) and
a minimum conductivity of 0 μS/cm, when using a synchronized static field.
WARNING! No safety component!
The flow sensor of the series DM08 is not a safety component in accordance with Directive
2006/42/EC (Machine Directive).
Never use the DM08 as a safety component.
The operational safety of the device supplied is only guaranteed by intended use. The specified
limits (§ Sensor installation instructions "Sensor installation instructions") may under no circum-
stances be exceeded.
Before installing the device, check if the wetted materials of the device are compatible with the me-
dia being used (§ Materials "Materials").
CAU ION! Risk of injury due to high temperature!
Hot process media can lead to hot surfaces! Danger of burns with surface temperatures above 70
°C.
Take suitable protective measures, e.g. contact protection.
The contact protection must be devised so that the maximum ambient temperature on the
device is not exceeded.
Flow tube empty (partially filled). / Conductivity too low:
Faulty measurements can occur if the flow tube of the DM08 is empty or partially filled or if the
conductivity of the fluid being used is too low.
Make sure that the flow tube of the DM08 is always completely filled (§ Sensor "Sensor").
Please observe the function "Empty pipe detection" (p. 11).
Make sure that the fluid being used has a conductivity of at least 0 μS/cm.
Before ordering and installing, check that the device is suitable for your application.
2.3 Exclusion of liability
We accept no liability for any damage or malfunctions resulting from incorrect installation, in-appro-
priate use of the device or failure to follow the instructions in this operating manual.

3 Safety instructions
Before you install the DM08 read through this operating manual carefully. If the instructions con-
tained within it are not followed, in particular the safety guidelines, this could result in danger for
people, the environment, and the device and the system it is connected to.
The DM08 corresponds to the state-of-the-art technology. This concerns the accuracy, the operat-
ing mode and the safe operation of the device.
In order to guarantee that the device operates safely, the operator must act competently and be
conscious of safety issues.
PKP provides support for the use of its products either personally or via relevant literature. The
customer verifies that our product is fit for purpose based on our technical information. The cus-
tomer performs customer- and application-specific tests to ensure that the product is suitable for
the intended use. With this verification all hazards and risks are transferred to our customers; our
warranty is not valid.
Qualified personnel:
The personnel who are charged for the installation, operation and maintenance of the DM08
must hold a relevant qualification. This can be based on training or relevant tuition.
The personnel must be aware of this operating manual and have access to it at all times.
The electrical connection should only be carried out by a fully qualified electrician.
General safety instructions:
In all work, the existing national regulations for accident prevention and safety in the workplace
must be complied with. Any internal regulations of the operator must also be complied with,
even if these are not mentioned in this manual.
Degree of protection according to EN 60 29:
Ensure that the ambient conditions at the site of use does not exceed (comply with) the require-
ments for the stated protection rating (§ Characteristics of the DM08 "Characteristics of the
DM08").
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the medium does not freeze.
Only use the DM08 if it is in perfect condition. Damaged or faulty devices must be checked
without delay and, if necessary, replaced.
When fitting, connecting and removing the DM08 use only suitable, appropriate tools.
Do not remove or obliterate type plates or other markings on the device, as otherwise the war-
ranty is rendered null and void.

Instruction Manual DM08
Special safety instructions:
Danger! Electric current!
Particular care must be taken if the front window of the housing becomes fogged over or discol-
oured because moisture, water or product might seep through the wire sheath into the terminal
compartment in the housing!
Ingress protection IP67 is only achieved if suitable and tightly screwed down cable glands or
conduits are used. If the cable glands are only tightened manually water may leak into the ter-
minal compartment in the housing.
Electromagnetic compatibility is only achieved if the electronics housing is closed. Leaving the
enclosure open can lead to electromagnetic disturbances.
Further warnings that are specifically relevant to individual operating procedures or activities can
be found at the beginning of the relevant sections of this operating manual.
4 Construction and function
4.1 Construction
The DM08 comprises a sensor and the display electronics. The sensor is used to measure fluid
media. The display electrodes generate the coil current required for the magnetic field and pre-
pares the induced voltage applied to the electrodes.
The DM08 does not need any moving parts to make measurements. The inside of the measuring
tube is completely open, allowing the fluid to flow unhindered through the measuring tube.
Display electronics:
The display electronics has a backlit LCD.
6 buttons are used for operation. That facilitates easy configuration of the display electronics.
Furthermore the display electronics has an analogue 0/4 … 20 mA current output, a pulse or fre-
quency output and a status output.

Instruction Manual DM08
4.2 Measuring principle
The magnetic inductive flow sensor operates on the inductive principle, i.e., a direct current is gen-
erated by the movement of a conductor in a magnetic field:
The measuring pipe of the DM08 is in a magnetic field (B).
An electrically conductive medium (Q) passes through the
pipe. During this, the positive and negative load carriers are
inversely deflected.
A voltage arises which is perpendicular to the magnetic
field, which is tapped through both electrodes.
The voltage induced during this is proportional to the aver-
age flow velocity of the fluid.
The electronics of the DM08 converts the induced voltage
into a flow-proportional frequency signal.
4.3 Functions
Empty pipe detection:
The electronic display unit has the ability for an empty pipe detection, which can be activated and
deactivated.
The operating reliability depends on the conductivity of the liquid medium and the cleanliness of
the electrodes.
As higher the conductivity is, as more reliable operates the empty pipe detection.
Insulation coatings on the electrodes surface worse the empty pipe detection.
Safety of operation:
A comprehensive self-monitoring system ensures maximum safety of operation.
Potential errors can be reported immediately via the configurable status output. The corres-
ponding error messages will also be displayed on the display of the display electronics. A
failure of the auxiliary power can also be detected via the status output.
All outputs are electrically isolated from the auxiliary power, the sensor circuit and from each
other.
5 Installation of DM08
