The circuitry for connection to other devices such as digital evaluator units or process control<br />
equipment must be designed with especial care. In some circumstances internal connections in<br />
these devices (e.g. GND with PE, ground loops) may lead to impermissible voltage potentials,<br />
which can compromise the function of the device itself or a connected device. In such cases a<br />
protected extra-low voltage (PELV) is recommended.<br />

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4<br />
4.5.1 Power supply<br />
INFORMATION!<br />
The supply voltage has to be between 14.8VDC <strong>and</strong> 30VDC. This is based on the total resistance<br />
of the measuring loop. To determine this, add up the resistances of each component in the<br />
measuring loop (not including the meter).<br />
The required supply voltage can be calculated using the formula below:<br />
U ext. = R L * 22mA + 14.8V<br />
where<br />
U ext. = the minimum supply voltage <strong>and</strong><br />
R L = the total measuring loop resistance.<br />
INFORMATION!<br />
The power supply has to be able to supply a minimum of 22mA.<br />
4.5.2 Load for HART ® communication<br />
INFORMATION!<br />
For HART ® communication a load of at least 230 ohm is required.<br />
The maximum load impedance is calculated as follows:<br />
DANGER!<br />
Use a twisted two-core cable to prevent electrical interference from impeding the DC output<br />
signal.<br />
In some cases a shielded cable may be necessary. The cable shield may only be earthed<br />
(grounded) at one place (on the power supply unit).<br />
4.5.3 Parametrization<br />
The M8E electronic display can be parametrized via HART ® communications. DD (Device<br />
Descriptions) for AMS 6.x <strong>and</strong> PDM 5.2 <strong>and</strong> a DTM (Device Type Manager) are available for<br />
parametrization (download center).<br />
The current flowrate can be transmitted using the integral HART ® communications. A flow<br />
counter can be parametrized. Two limit values can be monitored. The limit values are assigned<br />
either to flow values or to the counter overflow. The limit values are not depicted on the display.<br />

DANGER!<br />
After all servicing <strong>and</strong> maintenance work on the flowmeter, the specified protection category has<br />
to be ensured again.<br />
Therefore it is essential to observe the following points:<br />
• Use only original gaskets. They must be clean <strong>and</strong> free of any damage. Defective gaskets have<br />
to be replaced.<br />
• The electrical cables used must be undamaged <strong>and</strong> must comply with regulations.<br />
• The cable has to be laid with a loop 3 upstream of the flowmeter to prevent water from<br />
getting into the housing.<br />
• The cable gl<strong>and</strong>s 2 have to be firmly tightened.<br />
• Close the unused cable gl<strong>and</strong>s using blanking plugs 1.<br />
• Do not remove the specified outer sheath from the cable gl<strong>and</strong>.<br />

5.1 St<strong>and</strong>ard device<br />
CAUTION!<br />
When starting up the device, the following points must be observed:<br />
• Compare the actual operating pressure <strong>and</strong> the product temperature of the system with the<br />
specifications on the nameplate (PS <strong>and</strong> TS). These specifications may not be exceeded.<br />
• Make sure materials are compatible.<br />
• Slowly open the shut-off valve.<br />
• When measuring liquids, vent the pipes carefully.<br />
• When measuring gases, increase pressure slowly.<br />
• Avoid float impact (e.g. caused by solenoid valves), as this is likely to damage the measuring<br />
unit or float.<br />

SERVICE 6<br />
6.1 Maintenance<br />
Within the scope of routine maintenance of the system <strong>and</strong> pipelines, the flowmeter should also<br />
be inspected for signs of fouling, corrosion, mechanical wear <strong>and</strong> leaks, as well as damage to<br />
the measuring tube <strong>and</strong> indicator.<br />
We advise that inspections be carried out at least once a year.<br />
The device must be removed from the piping before cleaning.<br />
CAUTION!<br />
Pressurized pipes must be depressurized before removing the device.<br />
In the case of flowmeters used for measuring aggressive or hazardous products, appropriate<br />
safety precautions must be taken with regard to residual liquids in the measuring section.<br />
Always use new gaskets when reinstalling the flowmeter in the pipeline.<br />
CAUTION!<br />
Under certain circumstances the valve packing gl<strong>and</strong> may have to be adjusted during its service<br />
life. This means that the union nut 1 has to be retightened. If necessary, press the retaining pin<br />
2 against its internal spring.<br />
Apply a tightening torque of not more than 5Nm.<br />
CAUTION!<br />
Valves that have not been actuated for a longer period of time may exhibit a higher initial<br />
actuation torque.<br />

7 TECHNICAL DATA<br />
<strong>DK32</strong> - DK34 - DK37<br />
7.1 Operating principle<br />
The flowmeter operates on the float measuring principle.<br />
The measuring section consists of a metal cone in which a float can move freely up <strong>and</strong> down.<br />
The medium flows through the flowmeter from bottom to top.<br />
The float adjusts itself so that the buoyancy force A acting on it, the form drag W <strong>and</strong> its weight G<br />
are in equilibrium: G = A + W.<br />
Figure 7-1: Operating principle<br />
For the <strong>DK32</strong>, DK34 <strong>and</strong> DK37/M8M 1 the flow-dependent height of the float in the measuring<br />
section is transmitted by means of a magnetic coupling <strong>and</strong> displayed on a scale.<br />
For the DK37/M8E 2 the flow-dependent height of the float in the measuring section is<br />
transmitted to the electronic display by means of a magnetic coupling on sensors S1 <strong>and</strong> S2.<br />

7.5 Differential pressure regulators<br />
Differential pressure regulators are used (<strong>DK32</strong> <strong>and</strong> DK37 only) to help maintain constant flow<br />
rates in the case of fluctuating inlet or outlet pressures. Minimum pressure levels are required<br />
to permit operation of the regulators (see Regulator characteristics).<br />
Differential pressure regulators are not pressure reducing valves!<br />
1 Inlet pressure regulators, types RE, NRE<br />
The regulators maintain a constant flow rate at variable inlet pressure <strong>and</strong> constant outlet<br />
pressure.<br />
Example: Inlet pressure regulator RE-1000: Current flow rate: 1000l/h air<br />
Constant outlet pressure 1.013 bar abs.<br />
p2:<br />
With a variable inlet pressure greater than 0.5 bar the flow rate in the device is constant.<br />
2 Outlet pressure regulators types RA, NRA<br />
The regulators maintain a constant flow rate at constant inlet pressure <strong>and</strong> variable outlet<br />
pressure.<br />
In order to function, there must be pressure difference between the inlet pressure <strong>and</strong><br />
the outlet pressure. The inlet pressure p1 must always be greater than the outlet pressure p2.<br />
Example: Outlet pressure regulator NRA- Current flow rate:<br />
800l/h air<br />
800<br />
Constant inlet pressure: 6 bar<br />
With a variable outlet pressure of 0...5.5 bar the flowrate in the device remains constant.<br />
