1 Safety Instructions
General
All BTG products(1) are designed according to Sound
Engineering Practice and for the Pulp and Paper
Industry.
These Safety Regulations are based on a risk analysis
carried out in accordance with the requirements of
relevant CE directives in order to comply with European
standards for CE marking.
This document provides general safety instructions that
apply when operating with BTG products to reduce the
risk of accidents. A BTG product is not hazardous in
operational mode if these Safety Regulations are
adhered to.
These Safety Regulations MUST be read before
installing any BTG product. Be careful to follow the
safety routines when installing the product, when
removing the product for service, and when carrying out
service on the product.
Use warning signs for safety information!
Mounting parts, such as measuring vessels and weld-in
studs, are dealt with in accordance with the pressure
vessel standards of specific countries.
Always take precautions when handling equipment in
pressurized pipes.
All installation, operation, service, and other handling
must be carried out by trained and authorized personnel
and according to valid standards.
Personnel must familiarize themselves with the
potential hazards indicated on the product they are
working on to understand which instructions apply. If
questions arise regarding safety instructions, contact
BTG for clarification.
For personal and functional safety: Use only parts that
have been manufactured or approved by BTG.
Local Regulations
First and foremost National Regulations must be
adhered to followed by any Local Regulations.
The National and Local Regulations supersede this
document. Should neither the National nor Local
Regulations cover a particular point within this
document, then the Regulations set out in this

delivered by BTG have the necessary education,
training, experience and competence required to adapt
actively the personal safety requirements and the
protective measures to their work situation.
English language is typically used for all product
information provided by BTG Instruments AB, thus it is
required that the target group should have sufficient
knowledge in English language in order to understand
all product information, including in particular safety
related information.
How to read the Safety Instructions

Safety Regulations
The symbols below are examples of danger signs found
in instructions, manuals, and on products delivered by
BTG.
Safety Regulations for Installation and
Service
Always turn off all power and other supplies before
performing any service or maintenance on the
product.
All welding or bolting must take place in accordance
with current standards and regulations.
All handling of electrical units must take place in
accordance with current standards and regulations.
Use approved lifting gear during installation to prevent
injury. Ensure that the equipment is anchored solidly
during installation.
If a motor with rotated parts are switched on, there is
risk of injury by crushing or cutting if the cover has been
removed. Take care when working close to a propeller
and a sensor if these are exposed.
Take every professional precaution before servicing. Do
not wear gloves or rings which may get caught in the
machinery! Use approved protective clothing during
installation and service to prevent injury.
Before removing a product from a measuring chamber
or opening an inspection cover, check carefully that the
line is empty.
Hot or corrosive liquid flowing out under pressure
may cause serious chemical burn injuries!
Take care when opening the cover of a electronic box
with built-in power supply unit.
This contains live parts which may cause electric
shocks.
Live parts are protected against normal contact
provided that the connections are made correctly.
When a product is exposed to dangerous basic or acidic
corrosive media, it should be removed from the pipeline
regularly for inspection. Replace any damaged seals. If
pressurized parts on a product or a weld-in stud have
corroded, check that the material is correct for the
application.
Leakages may cause personal injury or damage to
equipment due to corrosion or burning!
Beware of high temperatures during installation and
service to prevent injury.

Product Introduction

2 Product Introduction
2.1 General
The MEK-3000 TwinTorque takes in-line, rotating, consistency measurement
state-of-the-art to a new level. Combining the most robust measuring method
with the unique TwinTorque technology results in unrivalled performance in a
format providing significantly reduced installation and maintenance costs. The
transmitter is supplied by single-phase power via the Communication Platform
(CPM).
Aside from the MEK-3000 standard model, two special versions are available:
MEK-3015, equipped with a protector for protection against unscreened pulp,
and MEK-3050, equipped with a larger flange. In new installations the small
flange version yields minimized pipe connections, while the large flange
version fits to the conventional studs and measuring vessels.
The versatility of the MEK series is retained with the new MEK-3000. Hence, it
can be optimized for every application in the entire process; from the blow line
after the digester, in screening and washing stages, and in the bleach plant
through to the machine chest. Its total flexibility is accompanied with ultra-high
measurement precision with a construction providing extreme compactness,
minimized maintenance requirements, and longer life time.
The MEK-3000 is operated using the CPM, which ensures compatibility with
present and future communication interface requirements, from analogue
output with HART® to field buses.
The MEK-3000 is the fifth generation of rotating transmitters from BTG, and is
based on the successful and widely proven MEK rotating transmitters, sold in
more than 30,000 units. Bringing BTG’s unsurpassed experience and success
with rotating consistency measurement together with the TwinTorque
technology thus creates new opportunities in consistency measurement and
control.
