3PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.3 Product features and functions
3.3.1 Principle of operation
The DOSIC® measures ow volume using ultrasonic technology and the time-of-ight
method, making the sensor suitable for measuring both conductive and non-conductive
liquids.
The sensor has two congurable digital inputs and outputs and up to two analog out-
puts. The switching output (Q1) also features an IO-Link interface; see “7.2.3 IO-Link”.
3.3.2 Fields of application
With its measurement channel and stainless-steel housing, the ultrasonic owmeter is
suitable for measuring tasks in hygienic environments. The compact and rugged design
makes the sensor ideal for a wide range of applications, including those where space
restrictions or aggressive media play a role.
Installation is quick and easy, and does not require medium calibration. The seal-free,
self-draining measuring channel enhances process reliability. The straight shape of the
measuring channel reduces pressure loss, which in turn reduces energy costs.
The DOSIC® is EHEDG-certied, and all materials that come into contact with the media
are FDA-compliant.
This makes the DOSIC®suitable for use in applications such as:
−The food industry
−CIP/SIP systems
−Filter systems
−Osmosis systems
−Measurements with high-purity water
NOTE
Due the ultrasonic technology used is always recommended to perform evaluation tests
on media that dier from water. To perform a rst evaluation test it is enough to ll the
channel of the sensor and close the two process connections of the sensor with blind
plugs. Should the sensor show zero ow without any error message there is a good
probability that the medium can be measured. In any case a test in the nal installa-
tion conditions provides the denitive answer if the DOSIC® can measure the specic
medium.

4TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
4 Transport and storage
4.1 Transport
For your own safety, please read and observe the following notes:
IMPORTANT
Damage to the sensor due to improper transport.
• The device must be packaged for transport with protection against shock and damp.
• Recommendation: Use the original packaging as it provides the best protection.
• Transport should be performed by specialist sta only.
• The utmost care and attention is required at all times during unloading and transpor-
tation on company premises.
• Note the symbols on the packaging.
• Do not remove packaging until immediately before starting installation work.
4.2 Transport inspection
Immediately upon receipt in Goods-in, check the delivery for completeness and for any
damage that may have occurred in transit. In the case of transit damage that is visible
externally, proceed as follows:
• Do not accept the delivery or only do so conditionally.
• Note the scope of damage on the transport documents or on the transport compa-
ny's delivery note.

5MOUNTING
5 Mounting
5.1 Installation conditions
Install the sensor in line with the ow direction of the measurement medium (refer to
the arrow on the measurement channel). The measurement medium must ll the mea-
surement channel completely.
The formation of gas in the measurement medium can aect the measurement. For
this reason, the sensor should be installed in a section where no gas formation is to be
expected (in a vertical position where possible 1).
Where pumps are used, we recommend installing the sensor after the pump (pressure
side). Solid particles will aect the measurement. Ensure that no solid particles can
aect the measurement (e.g., by using lters).
The installation of inlet and outlet zones in the system is recommended. The inlet zone
is a straight section of pipe of 5 x DN length 2. The outlet zone is a section of 3 x DN
length3. Increase the inlet zone to 15 x DN when the sensor is installed after a pump.
Increase the inlet zone to 15 x DN when the sensor is installed after a valve. The tubes
must not cause turbulences.
To ensure that the measurement channel is kept full with the medium to be measured
at all times, the sensor should not be mounted in front of or in down pipes, or at the
highest point in the system 4.
The sensor head can be turned to facilitate optimum installation. To turn the sensor
head, the nut and the locking screw on the base of the sensor head must be loosened,
and then tightened again once the sensor head has been turned (nut: 30 Nm ... 40 Nm;
locking screw: 0.7 Nm ... 0.9 Nm).
The X-axis of the measurement channel should be installed at a horizontal angle to the
ground 5. Where the sensor is being installed vertically and in an EHEDG-compliant
installation, we recommend that the oset angle between inlet and outlet zone and
Y-axis not exceed 4°, in order to allow self-drainage to take place 6.
For EHEDG-compliant installation, EHEDG-certied seals must be used (not supplied).

IMPORTANT
The display cover at the top end of the housing must be screwed into position manually,
by turning it until it no longer moves (see “3.2.1 Device view” on page 12., item num-
ber 2). The M12 connection must also be properly secured to ensure that the IP67/
IP69 enclosure rating is achieved.
IMPORTANT
The tightening torque on the process connection threads must not exceed 35 Nm
(DN15) and 80 Nm (DN25). Do not push or pull the upper housing while the process
connections are being tightened or while other work is being carried out. The force ap-
plied to the upper housing must not exceed 280 N (DN15) and 350 N (DN25).

switched on!). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
• Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user's power system must be
designed in accordance with the applicable standards. In Germany, observe the
following standards:
DIN VDE 0100 (Part 430) and DIN VDE 0298 (Part 4) or DIN VDE 0891 (Part 1).
• Circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV circuits (SELV = Safety
Extra Low Voltage).
• Protect the device with a separate fuse at the start of the supply circuit.
Notes on layout of data cables:
• Use screened data cables with twisted-pair wires.
• Implement the screening design correctly and completely.
• To avoid interference, e.g., from switching power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors, always use suitable EMC cables and layouts.
• Do not lay cables over long distances in parallel with voltage supply cables and mo-
tor cables in cable channels.
The IP67 and/or IP69 enclosure rating for the device is only achieved under the fol-
lowing conditions:
• The cable on the M12 connection has been screwed on.
• The top cover is screwed (no gap between the upper cover and upper housing).

6.2 Electrical connection
6.2.1 Overview of the electrical connections
The sensor is connected using a pre-assembled female cable connector with M12 x
1 plug connector (5-pin or 8-pin). With the power switched o, plug the female cable
connector into the sensor and screw it tight.
Connect the cable according to its function. After the supply voltage has been applied,
the sensor carries out a self-test. Once installed, the sensor is ready for operation on
completion of the self-test. The display shows the current measured value.

7.1 Quick commissioning (with factory settings)
Quick commissioning is used in applications under reference conditions see “5.1 Instal-
lation conditions”.
Commissioning
1. Install the sensor in line with the installation conditions in “5 Mounting” During the
DOSIC® installation process, the pipe system must be empty.
2. Switch on the supply voltage.
The sensor performs a self-test and is then ready for operation. The display shows
the current measured value.
In the event of problems during commissioning, see “10 Troubleshooting”.
