equipment according to NE 53 for all devices. It is easy to see from the ER whether
troubleshooting or larger changes in the electronic equipment have taken place and how that
has affected the compatibility.

1.2 Intended use
The vortex flowmeters are used for flow measurement of gases, vapours and liquids.
The devices are particularly suitable for the measurement of:
•Clean liquids with low viscosity (< 10 cP)
•Hydrocarbons with low viscosity (< 10 cP)
•Water
•Chemicals with low corrosiveness
•Saturated steam
•Superheated steam, including CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Sterilising in Place)
applications in the food industry
Note the following:
•The flow sensors are made from stainless steel 1.4404 / 316L or Hastelloy® C-22.
•In your project planning, please observe the data given in the corrosion tables.
•The pressure-bearing parts have been designed and rated for stationary operation taking into
account the maximum pressure and temperature.
•Observe the data indicated on the nameplate for PS (stated pressures), TS (stated
temperatures) and PT (test pressure).
•External forces and moments, caused e.g. by pipe stresses, have not been taken into account.
Primarily, volumetric flow and temperature are measured, with pressure measurement as an
option. From these parameters the measuring device calculates the mass flow or standard
volumetric flow using pre-programmed density data and then exports the measured values via
various communication interfaces.
CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
INFORMATION!
This device is a Group 1, Class A device as specified within CISPR11. It is intended for use in
industrial environment. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.

1.4 Pressure equipment directive
A conformity assessment in accordance with pressure equipment directive has been carried out
for the devices described. Conformity is certified by applying the conformity mark. The number
of the notified body is also stated.
The PED key describes the rating of the devices:
The PED key identification can be found on the nameplate of the device (for details refer to
Nameplate on page 24).
Residual risk
A risk analysis in accordance with the pressure equipment directive has been carried out for the
devices. The residual risk is described as follows:
•The devices are designed according to the valid and applicable rules and standards for static
operation and their pressure resistance is calculated for the declared maximum pressure
and temperature (no calculation for cyclical change).
•Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to corrosion resistance of the
used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the operator.
•Don't use abrasive and high viscous media.
•Avoid pulsation and cavitation.
•The maximum allowable ambient temperatures are depending on the device equipment and
declared in the technical data.
•The draining of the device will be performed in the same way as the connected pipeline.
•Protect devices from vibration and high-frequency oscillation.
•Implement appropriate measures to counteract external fire hazards
Example: PED/G1/III/H
G Gases and vapours
1 Fluid group 1
III Category III
H Conformity assessment method according to Module H
Table 1-4: Example of PED key
INFORMATION!
The stated pressures (PS) and temperatures (TS) only apply as refers to the pressure resistance
of the sensor body. As regards the functionality of the entire device, further restrictions of the
maximum temperature may need to be observed (e.g. ATEX approval). Devices rated below
category I due to their size, do not receive the conformity mark in the scope of the PED.
These devices are subject to applicable sound engineering practice (SEP).

2.2.7 Free air delivery measurement - FAD (optional)
To create compressed air, a compressor draws in air from the ambient atmosphere,
compresses it and delivers it at the required pressure. Since the ambient atmosphere also
contains water vapour, the compressor draws in a mixture of air and water vapour. In addition to
the moisture in the air, the ambient temperature and pressure conditions on the inlet side and
the process conditions on the outlet side also influence the compressor capacity.
That is why most manufacturers specify compressor capacity as free air delivery at standard
intake conditions. To compare the capacity of different compressors or to compare the capacity
of a compressor at different points in time, the measurement of the air supplied by the
compressor must be corrected by the influences of the process and of the environment and
converted to these standardised suction conditions.
The vortex flowmeter with optional FAD function (FAD - Free Air Delivery) can measure the free
air delivery online, regardless of its function as standard flowmeter. For this the device needs
the process and ambient conditions, as well as the compressor data. When installed on the
outlet side, it measures the air volume generated by the compressor and the process conditions.
The menu-driven, user-friendly software prompts the operator to enter the following values:
•Ambient temperature (inlet)
•Atmospheric pressure (inlet)
•Air humidity (inlet and outlet)
•Motor speed (rated speed and actual speed)
•Pressure loss of the air filter
The FAD value is calculated from the measured and entered parameters using the vapour and
compressibility tables stored in the measuring device.
INFORMATION!
• For correct FAD measurement the compressor must run at full capacity.
• FAD measurement is an optional feature, which can be unlocked subsequently in menu "C6.3
Extras" if not unlocked by order.
Please contact the manufacturer to obtain the four digit code required to enable this feature.
For programming example refer to Settings for free air delivery measurement - FAD on page
89
