Caution
The complete insert is to be replaced with all of its printed boards (except
for the memory chip (DSM)). This is particularly important for the
explosion-prooftransmitter.Thespecifiedprecisionandinterchangeability
of the electronics are only guaranteed if the complete insert is replaced.
2.8 Intended purpose
The electromagnetic flowmeter is to be used solely for measuring the volume flow of
liquids, suspensions and pastes with conductivity ≥5 µS/cm (≥20 µS/cm demineralized
cold water). The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage or loss
resulting from any other use or from improper use.
Before using corrosive or abrasive fluids, the operator must test the resistance of all
wetted materials. We will be happy to assist you in testing the corrosion resistance
of wetted parts (for special fluids including cleaning fluids). However, sole responsibility
for ensuring that the device is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations rests with the system operator. Minor changes of temperature,
concentration or the degree of contamination in the process may cause changes in
corrosion resistance. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage
with respect to corrosion resistance of wetted materials in a certain application.
Intended use
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical
Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended use/ application.
The product listed complies with the requirements of the European Pressure
Equipment Directive 97 / 23 / EC, carries the mark when so required. The product falls
within the following Pressure Equipment Directive categories:
Product Group 1
Gases
Group 2
Gases
Group 1
Liquids
Group 2
Liquids
ELM DN50 - - 2 -
ELM DN150 – DN200 - - 2 -
i) The ELM flow meter range has been designed for use on water / condensate which
are in Group 2 liquids of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive. The
product’s use on other liquids in Group 1 or Group 2 may be possible but, if this is
contemplated, Spirax Sarco should be contacted to confirm the suitability of the
product for the application being considered.
ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum
and minimum values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower
than those of the system in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product
could result in a dangerous overpressure or overtemperature occurrence, ensure
a safety device is included in the system to prevent such over-limit situations.
iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow.
iv) This product is not intended to withstand external stresses that
may be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of
the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise
them.
v) Remove all protective covers from all connections and protective packaging where
appropriate, before installation on high temperature applications.
