Introduction and basics
Installation conditions
• The installation recommendations of VDI / VDE Directive
3513 must be observed.
• The flowmeter is installed vertically in the piping. The
measuring media must flow from bottom to top.
• Keep the device as far away as possible from pipe
vibrations and powerful magnetic fields.
• The nominal diameter of the piping should be the same as
the connection nominal diameter.
• Inlet and outlet sections are generally not required. Care
should be taken to avoid flow turbulence, pulsations,
pressure shocks and other flow instabilities in order to
prevent measuring inaccuracies, increased wear or
damage.
• When selecting devices, pay close attention to the
chemical resistance of the wetted parts of the device and
the process connection gaskets in relation to the
measuring medium.
• Avoid pulsating flow of the measuring medium. Use the Figure 1: Installation of the flowmeter (example)
Operating conditions
A variable area flowmeter is specified for a defined set of Pressure loss

… Introduction and basics
Solids content in the measuring medium Measuring range limits
Variable area flowmeters have only limited suitability for
measuring media containing solids.
Depending on the concentration, particle size and type of
solid, increased mechanical abrasion may occur, especially at
the critical measuring edge of the float.
In addition, solidified deposits on the float can change its
weight and shape.
These effects can lead to erroneous measurement results,
depending on the float type.
In general, the use of appropriate filters is recommended in
such applications.
For the flow measurement of measuring media containing
magnetic particles, we recommend the installation of a
magnetic separator upstream of the variable area flowmeter.

Installation instructions
The concept of intrinsic safety enables multiple intrinsic
safety devices with FM or CSA approval to be interconnected,
without entity parameters being examined specifically,
subject to observation of the following conditions:
• Uo or Voc or Vt ≤ 0 V max, Io or Isc or It ≤ I max, Ca or Co ≥ Ci
+ Ccable, La or Lo ≥ Li + Lcable, Po ≤ Pi.
• For installation in Class II and III environments, dust-
proof ignition blocks must be used.
• Devices connected to such equipment must not use or
generate rms or DC voltage in excess of 250 V.
• The installation must meet the requirements in
accordance with ANSI / ISA RP 12.6 ‘Installation of
Intrinsically Safe Systems for Hazardous Locations’
1 FM Approved IS Barrier 2 Potential equalization
and the National Electrical Code (ANSI / NFPA 70)
Figure 20: FM / cCSAus electrical connection sections 504, 505 and CEC.
• The configuration of the associated apparatus must
Terminal Function have Factory Mutual Research and CSA approval in
accordance with the entity concept.
31 / 32 Power supply / current output / HART output
• Devices must be installed in accordance with the
41 / 42 Binary output
manufacturer-supplied installation drawing of the
Alarm signaling unit (min.)
associated equipment.
51 / 52 Alarm signaling unit (max.)
• Changes to drawings are only permitted subject to
prior approval from Factory Mutual Research and CSA.
• Only shielded twisted pair cables may be used (see
above).
Note
For intrinsically safe installations, the FAM540 must be
installed as illustrated in the "Intrinsic Safety Control Drawing
SDM-10-A0253".
UV Power supply

… Use in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with FM and cCSAus
Earthing Power supply
Note
The operator must make sure that when connecting the
protective ground (PE), there are no potential differences
between protective ground (PE) and potential equalization,
even in the event of a fault.
Signal cable
For ambient temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F) or above
40 °C (104 °F), signal cables that are suited for the
minimum/maximum ambient temperatures in question must
be used.
Only use signal cables made from copper, copper-coated
aluminum, or aluminum.
The recommended tightening torque for the terminals is
0.8 Nm (7 in lb) or higher, in accordance with the
specification.
