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)

• For gaseous measuring media we recommend an Refer to VDI/VDE Directive 3513 sheet 3, Selection and

of the piping in accordance with VDI / VDE Directive 3513
sheet 3. Additional measures such as flow straighteners Sensor insulation
or perforated plates may be necessary for highly
unbalanced flow profiles.
• Avoid contamination of gaseous measuring media (refer
to BGR 132-7.3.2.2.2).
• For liquid measuring media, the nominal diameter of the
piping should be dimensioned as large as possible (if
economically viable).
• Avoid gas inclusions in liquid measuring media.
• Use valves which open slowly.
• If the flowmeter is installed in a pipeline where
decommissioning is impossible or inexpedient, a bypass
line should be provided.
• Stop and throttle valves should preferably be attached to
the outlet of the flowmeter.
Figure 2: Insulation of the flowmeter

As shown in Figure 2, the flowmeter may only be insulated up


to the flange diameter.

To prevent self-generated compression oscillations, note the


following information from VDI / VDE 3513 Sheet 3:
• Select a flowmeter with the lowest possible pressure
loss.
• Minimize the piping length between the flowmeter
and the nearest upstream or downstream throttling
location.
• Set the limit of the regular measuring range from the
usual 10 to 100 % to 25 to 100 %.
• When setting the flow rate value, always start by
assuming larger values.
• Increase the operating pressure and consider its
effect on the flow rate changes due to the change in
gas density in the operating conditions.
• Minimize non-throttled, free volumes upstream and
downstream of the device.

… 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.

For measuring range limits depending on nominal size and


float type, refer to the measuring range tables.

Calculating the viscosity influence number (VIN)


The floats are designed geometrically so as to be
independent of viscosity within broad limits. This means that
the measuring medium viscosity can vary within these limits
without resulting in a change of scale.

measuring range tables.

Signal cable Earthing


The Ex calculations are based on temperatures of 80 °C
(176 °F) at the cable input. For this reason, cables with a
specification of 80 °C (176 °F) must be used.
For cables limited to 70 °C (158 °F), a maximum ambient
temperature of Tamb = 60 °C (140 °F) applies.
The resulting new maximum measuring medium
temperatures are determined as follows:
• Calculate a new ambient temperature:
Tamb new = Tamb + 10 °C (18 °F).
• Use the calculated ambient temperature Tamb new to
determine the new associated permissible measuring
medium temperatures in the tables.

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".

The minimum voltage UV = 0 V is based on a load of 0 Ω.


40 VA MASTER FAM540 METAL CONE VARIABLE AREA FLOWMETER | DS/FAM540-EN REV. E


… Use in potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with FM and cCSAus
Earthing Power supply

Installation must comply with the requirements of the


National Electric Code® (ANSI / NFPA70).
Unless specified otherwise in regional or national standards,
power supply lines must be dimensioned to AWG 20.
Installation must be carried out as outlined in the latest
edition of the manufacturer's instruction manual.

A power supply with the following requirements must be


used to provide power:
• SELV (safety extra-low voltage) with LPS (current-
limited source) and double or reinforced insulation.
• Maximum output current of 8 A (current-limited
output).
1 Ground terminal • In accordance with National Electric Code®
2 Potential equalization in accordance with EN 60079-0 (ANSI / NFPA70) connected to NEC class 2.
Figure 22: Grounding

The FAM540 housing must be correctly earthed in order to


ensure proper function and safe operation.
Copper wires with a minimum cross-section of 6 mm2
(AWG 10) must be used to connect to the potential
equalization.

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.
