Quick Start

For initial set up, we strongly recommend that you also refer to the relevant manual!

H250 M40 Device variants

Variants are illustrated as an example with EN 1092-1 / ASME B16.5 flanges

Variable area flowmeters
Installation, assembly, start-up and maintenance may only be performed by appropriately trained personnel.
Check the nameplate for correct operating conditions.

For use in hazardous areas, special codes and regulations are applicable. Instruments must not be connected to
power supply before reading instructions described in the supplementary manual.

This instrument complies with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive. Please refer to the nameplate
for operating condition limits. Instruments must not be pressurised before reading instructions described in the
manual.

1 Installation
Specific conditions of use to be observed: ISO 228 / ASME B1.20.1 DIN 11851 / SMS 1146 / DIN
 The connection facilities for the equipotential bonding conductor of the H250 measuring part or the M40 indicator unit Female thread welded 11864-1 threaded coupling
shall be connected to the equipotential bonding system of the hazardous area.
 When the material titanium is used for measuring parts the generation of sparks due to impact or friction between Material variants
titanium and other materials shall be prevented (appropriately protected installation).
 When the system is operated with flammable media the measuring parts shall be included in the recurring pressure H250/RR: standard stainless steel H250/XX: XX = HC, Ti, Mo, In etc. special alloy steel
test of the system.
H250/C: PTFE/ceramic H250/F: hygienic version
 The cable glands and blind plugs provided with the enclosure (or equivalent types) shall be used to ensure a sufficient
degree of IP-protection and for sealing non-used openings.
 To avoid the risk of electrostatic charge the variable-area flowmeter, type H250.../M40...-Ex and the indicator unit, type Installation conditions
M40...-Ex shall not be used in areas where severely charge generating processes are to be assumed.
The corresponding notes in the operating instructions manual shall be observed. +/- 5° from vertical for Minimum distance between devices
H250 and H250U
 For permissible ambient and medium temperatures reference is made to the tables given in the operating instructions
manual. All further specifications and notes shall be considered correspondingly.

Observe the type of protection (refer to nameplate) to apply the correct supplementary manual!

Prior to installation:
 Blow or flush out the pipes or tubes leading to the flowmeter.
 For gas flow applications, dry the pipes or tubes leading to the flowmeter. > 300 mm / 1
11.8"
Installation: +/- 5° from horizontal 2
 Align the pipes or tubes leading to and from the flowmeter with the process connections to keep them free of stress. for H250H
 If necessary, support the pipes or tubes to prevent vibration being transmitted to the flowmeter.
 Install the flowmeters with inlet at the bottom and outlet at the top within 5° of the vertical. Respectively 5° of the horizontal for
H250H. The indicator housing may not be heat-
insulated.
 Follow accepted plumbing practices for threaded or flanged fittings and the intended use.
The heat insulation (1) may only reach
as far as the housing fastening (2).
For accurate flow measurement, the application data should be consistent with the sizing data and calibration of the variable
area flowmeter. Avoid vibration
