3 Mounting and Installation

Warning!
• The instructions given in this section are to be observed at all times in order to
ensure safe and reliable operation of the measuring system. Warning!
• For explosion protected instruments the mounting regulations and the technical
data may differ from those stated here. Please refer to the Ex supplement of this
Operating Manual for additional information.

3.1 Transport instructions (DN ≥ 350/14")

The pipe lining on the flanges is protected by disks to prevent damage when
transporting to the measuring point. These are to be removed when installing.
Instruments are to be transported in the containers they are delivered in.

Transporting to the measuring point

• The sensor must not be lifted by the Correct! Incorrect!
transmitter housing!
• Use only the grips on the flange for
lifting out and mounting the sensor in
the piping (from DN 350 or 14").

Caution!
The sensor must not be lifted by the
metal casing using a fork lift truck!
This can buckle the casing and so

3.2 Mounting location

Correct measurement is only possible
when the pipe is full. The following
locations should therefore be avoided:

• No installation at the highest point

(air accumulation).
• No installation immediately before
an open pipe outlet in a downward
line.

The alternative installation, however,

enables correct measurement.

Installation of pumps
Do not mount the sensors on the
suction side of pumps. This prevents
low pressure and therefore possible
damage to the lining of the measuring

3.3 Mounting position

Vertical mounting:
This is the recommended position with
the flow upwards. Entrained solid
particles sink and fatty components in
the stationary fluid rise away from the
measuring electrodes. This is the
optimal position in empty pipe system
and when using Empty Pipe Detection
(see page 73).

Horizontal mounting:
The axis of the electrodes must be

tion of the electrodes by entrained air
bubbles.

3.4 Nominal diameter and flow rate

The diameter of the pipe usually governs the nominal diameter of the sensor.
The optimum flow velocity range is between v = 2...3 m/s. Furthermore, the flow
velocity (v) has to be matched to the physical properties of the fluid:

• v < 2 m/s → with abrasive fluids (potter’s clay, lime milk, ore slurry)
• v > 2 m/s → with fluids forming coating (wastewater sludge, etc.)

If it is necessary to increase the flow velocity, this can be done by reducing the
nominal diameter of the sensor (see following chapter).

3.5 Adapters
The sensor can also be mounted in a pipe with a larger nominal diameter when
suitable adapters (reducers and expanders) to DIN 28545 are fitted.
The resultant increase in the rate of flow increases the accuracy of measurement
with slowly moving fluids.

The adjacent nomogram can be used to

determine the pressure loss caused.

Procedure:
1. Determine the ratio of the
diameter d/D.
2. From the nomogram read off the
pressure loss at the flow velocity and
d/D ratio.

Note!
The nomogram applies to fluids with a
Note! viscosity similar to that of water.

1. Fasten the Promag H sensor with some spot welds into the pipe.
2. Loosen the screws at the process-connector flange and remove the sensor from
the pipe; make sure that the seal is also removed from the process connector.
3. Weld the process connector into the pipe.
4. Once again install the sensor into the pipe; making sure everything is clean and
the seal is correctly positioned.

Note!
• If the welding process is correctly executed in thin-walled food piping, the seal will
not be damaged by the heat, even when mounted. Nevertheless, we recommend re-

3.8 Mounting Promag F sensor

The sensor is mounted between the flanges of the piping (Fig. 15). Since the lining of
the measuring tube also covers the sensor flange, it also acts as a seal.

Caution!
The Teflon (PTFE) lined Promag F is fitted with protective disks to guard the lining
which is turned over the flanges. These disks are to be removed just before mounting
the sensor. Ensure that the lining on the flange is not damaged or removed.
These disks must remain in position during storage. Caution!

Seals
• If the measuring tube liner is made of soft rubber or Teflon (PTFE), a flange seal
is not required.
• With soft rubber lining the mating flange should have a thin film of non-conductive
sealing grease applied.
• Use a seal according to DIN 2690.
• Mounted seals must not protrude into the piping section.

Caution!
Danger of short-circuit! Do not use sealing materials that are electrically conductive,
e.g. graphite. This could result in an electrically conductive layer forming on the inside
of the measuring tube and therefore short-circuiting the measuring signal. Caution!

4.5 Potential equalisation

The sensor and the fluid must have

roughly the same electrical potential to

and no galvanic corrosion takes place at
the electrode. Normally the reference
electrode in the sensor or the metal pipe

Position of different electrodes always a metallic connection to the
in the measuring tube fluid.
(Example: Promag 33 F)

If the reference electrode is correctly grounded and the fluid flows through metallic,
non-lined and grounded piping, then it is sufficient to connect the grounding terminal
of the Promag 33 transmitter housing to the potential equalisation line in order to pre-
vent corrosion. The connection with the remote-mounted version is made at the
ground terminal of the connection housing.

Caution!
Danger of permanent damage to the instrument! If the fluid cannot be grounded for
Caution! operational reasons, ground disks are to be used.

Potential equalisation for some special cases is described below:

Potential equalisation for lined pipes

When the fluid cannot be grounded for

operational reasons, the measuring unit
must be installed that it is potential-free
(Fig. 27). Ensure that components of the
piping are connected to one another

4.9 Commissioning
Before switching on the measuring system, the following checks should be carried out
again:
• Check the electrical connections and terminal assignments.
• Compare the data on the nameplate with the local mains voltage and frequency.
• Does the direction of the arrow on the nameplate (sensor) agree with the actual
direction of flow in the piping?

If the results of these checks are satisfactory, switch on the supply voltage. The unit is
now ready for operation. After switching on, the system performs various self-test
routines. During this procedure the following sequence of messages appears on the
display:

Further information on programming

For the Promag 33 measuring system, there is a wide choice of functions and parame-
ters which the user can set individually and adapt to the condition of his process.

The individual functions are allocated to various function groups (see page 37).
Selection of these functions within the E+H matrix is carried out as described on
page 36. Numerical values or factory settings which may be altered appear flashing
on the LC display.

Please note the following:

• If the power supply cuts out, then all calibrated and set values are safely stored in
the EEPROM (without requiring batteries).
• Certain functions can be set to “OFF”. The appropriate functions in other function
groups then no longer appear on the display.
• In certain functions, a prompt is given after entering data for safety reasons.
Select “SURE? [YES]” with the 6 keys and confirm by pressing 1 again.
The setting is now stored or a function, e.g. an empty pipe adjustment, is activated.

Enable programming (access code)

Normally programming is locked. Any unauthorised changes to the instrument
functions, values or factory settings are therefore not possible. Only when a
code has been entered (factory setting = 33) parameters can be entered or
changed.

The use of a personal code number which can be freely chosen prevents
unauthorised personnel from gaining access to data (see page 77).
An exception to this is the function group “BATCHING”. In this group only the
function “BATCH VARIABLE” is protected by the code number. All other
functions in this group can be changed without the code number.
Caution!
• If programming is locked and the 6 keys are pressed in a given function,
then a prompt to enter the code automatically appears on the display.
• With code “0” (zero) the programming is always enabled!
Achtung!
• If the personal code number is no longer available, then please contact the
Endress+Hauser service organisation which will pleased to help you.
• Changing certain parameters, e.g. all characteristic data of the sensor,
affects a number of functions of the entire measuring system, especially its
accuracy. Normally these characteristic data may not be altered and are
therefore protected by a special service code only known to E+H service
technicians. Please contact your E+H Service organisation for more
information.

Locking programming
• After returning to the HOME position, programming is again locked after
60 seconds if no operating element is pressed.
• Programming can also be locked by entering any number (not the customer
code number) in the function “ACCESS CODE”.

5.4 Operation with the HART protocol

Besides local operation, the Promag 33 flowmeter can also be configured and
measured values called up using the HART protocol. Two procedures can be used:
• Operation using the “HART Communicator DXR 275” universal handheld terminal.
• Operation using a personal computer with specific software, e.g. “Commuwin II”,
and the “Commubox FXA 191” HART modem.

Operating using the “HART Communicator DXR 275”

Promag 33 functions are selected with the HART communicator over a number of
menu levels as well as with the aid of a special E+H operating matrix (see Fig. 40).

Notes!
• The HART protocol requires a “4–20 mA” setting of the current output (see page
51). The “4–20 mA” setting is only selectable if the setting “HART” is switched off in
Note!
the function “PROTOCOL” (see page 69).
• All functions are accessible at all times with the HART handheld terminal i.e.
programming is not locked. The HART operating matrix can, however, be locked by
entering the value “–1” in the function “ACCESS CODE”. Data can then no longer
be changed. This status remains even after a power failure. The operating matrix
can again be enabled by entering the personal code number.
• Further information on the HART Communicator is given in the appropriate
operating manual in the carrying case.

Procedure

1. Switch on handheld terminal:

a. The transmitter is not yet connected → The HART main menu is displayed → Continue with
“Online”
b. The transmitter is already connected → The menu level “Online” is immediately shown.

2. “Online” menu level:

→ Actual measurement data including flow, totaliser sum, etc. are continually shown.
→ Via “Matrix group sel.” you have access to the HART operating matrix (see Fig. 40),
then to the function group (e.g. current output) and finally to the desired function,
e.g. “Damping PV”.
3. Enter values or change the setting.
4. The field “SEND” is shown by pressing the “F2” function key. By pressing the “F2” key,
all values and settings entered with the handheld terminal are registered by the Promag
measuring system. Confirm with the “F4” key.
5. Press “F3” HOME function key to return to the “Online” menu level. The actual values measured
by the Promag flowmeter with the new settings can now be read off.

By activating the dual range mode, the system automatically changes between
full scale value 1 and 2 during normal measuring operation. Full scale value 1
and 2 are freely selectable.

Note!
• The appropriate configuration enables the actual full scale value to be
supplied or signalled via both relays (see following Figure and page 61).
Note! In this case the following applies:
– Full scale value 1 active → Relay 1 or 2 energised (live)
– Full scale value 2 active → Relay 1 or 2 de-energised (dead)
• If the Promag 33 measuring electronics are fitted with a communication
module “RS 485”, then the full scale values 1/2 can also be activated using
the auxiliary input (see page 69).

Introduction
The “BATCHING” function group together with the preset totalizer enables simple batching cycles to

Entering a compensation quantity can compensate for plant-specific but constant errors in volume
e.g. caused by after-runs of pumps, closing time of valves, etc.

Note!
• For short-cycle batching (filling time < 20 s) → see function “SELF CHECKING” (page 78)
• If a system error (failure) occurs during a batching cycle or an empty pipe is detected (EPD)
the filling procedure is immediately stopped. Note!

Starting / Stopping a Batching Cycle

The batching cycle can be started and stopped in four different ways:
• via the HART interface or Rackbus 485
• via the auxiliary input (with the “RS 485” communications module only)
• via the function “BATCHING”
• from the HOME position. Starting the batching cycle from the HOME position is always
possible if the “BATCH VARIABLE” function is set to “VOLUME” (see next page):

6 START – STOP – CANCEL

Note!
If a batching variable is activated, the “BATCHING” function group is first shown on the display when

COMPENS. In this function a positive or negative compensation quantity is defined. This
QUANTITY quantity compensates for a consistent error in batching amounts due to plant
operation. This can be caused, e.g. due to after running of a pump or the
closing time of a valve. The compensation quantity is determined by the
operator of the plant. The compensation quantity only affects the batching
quantity.
• Overfilling → a negative correction factor is to be set
• Underfilling → a positive correction factor is to be set

Example:
Batching quantity = 100 l; pre-batch quantity = 90 l
→ maximum positive correction factor = +100 l
→ maximum negative correction factor = –10 l

Note!
• If the function “MEASURING MODE” is set to “UNIDIRECTIONAL”

• In cases of error the totaliser is coupled to the error response of the

communications module, this is only the case if the function “SYSTEM

• Unidirectional:
Signal output in the positive direction only (forward).
Flows in a negative direction (backwards) are not included or totalised
by the Promag measuring system.

• Bidirectional:
Signal output in both directions (forward and reverse).

The flow display always operates in both flow directions independent of the

6 FORWARD * – REVERSE **

** Positive flow in the opposite direction to the arrow on the nameplate.

FUNCTION ECC Switching on and off the Electrode Cleaning Circuitry (ECC).

cleaning function (optional).
• The ECC function is not available with the remote “FL” version. Note!

6 ON
OFF
ECC switched on
ECC switched off

Remarks on ECC:
Conductive build-up on the electrodes and the measuring tube walls (e.g.
magnetite) can cause measurement errors. The ECC has been developed in
order to prevent build-up occurring. The cleaning cycle of 3 seconds is
dependent on the tracking frequency and repeats itself every 30 minutes.
The ECC works in the way described for all electrode materials available
except tantalum. If the electrode material is tantalum then the ECC only
protects the electrode surface from oxidation.

Caution!
If the ECC is switched off for a long period of time in an application where there
is a conductive build-up in the measuring tube, then this can lead to errors.
If there is a large concentration of build-up at one point, then, under certain
Caution!
circumstances, switching on the ECC may not remove it. In such cases the
flowmeter is to be cleaned and the build-up removed.

RECOVERY TIME After the electrode cleaning procedure is completed, the signal outputs may
ECC be unsteady for a little while. This is due to electrochemical potentials caused
by electrostatic charging of the fluid during the cleaning cycle.
If this is the case, then the recovery time can be extended using this function.

During the recovery time (max. 255 s) the last value registered before cleaning
is given. If a very long time has been set, then the system will not detect any

6 max. 3-digit number: 1...255 s

AMPLIFIER Selection of the amplifier mode, e.g. for strongly fluctuating flow rates.
MODE
The Promag 33 amplifier has an automatic amplifier booster controller. This
ensure that the amplifier always operates at optimum amplification according
to the flow velocity of the fluid. High accuracy is thus maintained over the wide
dynamic range of 1000:1. Applications with rapid and strongly fluctuating
flow rates can still affect measurement and the desired accuracy will not be
achieved. In such applications it may be better under certain circumstances to
program the amplifier at a fixed amplification step.

Caution!
With the settings “MODE 3” and “MODE 4”, ensure that the actual flow velocity
does not exceed the preset flow spans. If these are exceeded, then the
Caution! flowrate is not recognised as an error by the measuring system and faulty
measurement may result.

automatic amplifier booster controller
for flow rates 0...>12 m/s
MODE 2 for flow rates 0...12 m/s
MODE 3 for flow rates 0...4 m/s
MODE 4 for flow rates 0...1 m/s

DELAY Within the measuring amplifier, the delay of the automatic amplification
switchover (see function “AMPLIFIER MODE” → NORMAL) may be varied:
• In case of an overload, the amplification is immediately reduced
independently of the value originally set.
• In case of a massive underload, the ’n’ measured results (samples) are
waited for before the amplification is once again increased. This is especially
useful if occasional and rapid flow peaks occur (e.g. with piston pumps).

The entered number thus corresponds to the number of measuring events

(samples) to be ignored before a switch-over of the amplifier booster is
necessary.

Positive Zero Return and Simulation

Caution!
Caution! Note the following points when measured value suppression or simulation is active:

Measured value suppression:

• This function has top priority. The appropriate status message “S: POSITIVE ZERO
RETURN ACTIVE” is also displayed with priority in the HOME position. Any error
messages which occur during this time can only be asked for and displayed with
the aid of the diagnostic function.
• Measured value suppression sets all signal outputs to zero (corresponding to zero
flow).
• Both relays are live, i.e. energised.

Simulation:
• This function has second highest priority, likewise the corresponding status
message. Any error messages which occur during this time can only be asked for
and displayed with the aid of the diagnostic function.
• Normal output of system errors via the alarm output (relay 1).
• Normal functioning of relay 1 or 2 as per configuration (see pages 60 and 61).

7.2 Trouble-shooting and remedy

All instruments undergo various stages of quality control during production.
The last of these stages is the wet calibration carried out on state-of-the-art
calibration rigs. The following summary helps to identify possible causes of error
during normal measurement.

Warning!
This error diagnosis cannot be carried out with Ex instruments as they must be
opened and thus the ignition protection type is no longer present. Warning!

Solution 1:
Negative flows are ignored, i.e. the display of the Promag

Flows in both directions are registered. This requires an

the appropriate pulses (forward/reverse).

• Power supply 85...260 V AC → 1 A slow-blow / 250 V; 5.2 × 20 mm

7.7 Repairs
Please carry out the following procedure before returning the Promag 33 for repair
to Endress+Hauser:
• A note must always be enclosed with the instrument, giving the following
information:
– Brief description of the error
– Description of the application
– Chemical and physical properties of the fluid
• Remove all residue which may be present. Pay special attention to the gasket
grooves and crevices where fluid may be present. This is especially important if
the fluid is dangerous to health, e.g. corrosive, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.

Warning!
We must request you not to return a unit if it is not completely certain that harmful
substances can be removed e.g. cracks have been penetrated or substances have
diffused through plastics. Warning!
Incomplete cleaning of the instrument may result in waste disposal or cause harm to
personnel (burns, etc.). Any costs arising from this will be charged to the operator of
the instrument.

Application
Instrument name Flow measuring system “Promag 33”

Instrument function Flow measurement of liquids in closed piping.

Applications in measurement, control and regulation processes,
for e.g. batching and dosing (> 10 s), etc.

Function and system design

Measuring principle Electromagnetic flow measurement according to Faraday’s law
(Generation of a voltage by induction in a magnetic field).

Measuring system Instrument family “Promag 33” consisting of:

• Transmitter: Promag 33
(with a HART or a RS 485 communications module)
• Sensor: Promag A (DN 2, 4, 8, 15, 25)
Promag H (DN 25, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100)
Promag F (DN 15...2000)

Two versions are available:

• Compact version
• Remote version (FS or FL version)

Input variables
Measured variable Flow velocity (proportional to induced voltage, measured by two
electrodes in the measuring tube)

Measuring range Measuring range of electronics within v = 0...12.5 m/s

The full scale value for the current output can be selected within
the following limits:
– Minimum full scale value at v = 0.3 m/s
– Maximum full scale value at v = 10 m/s

Operable flow range Over 1000 : 1

When the flow is pulsating, the amplifier is not overloaded above its
set full scale value even with peak velocities of 12.5 m/s.
Flow is measured between 0.01...>10 m/s at the stated accuracy.

Auxiliary input The auxiliary input is only available with a “RS 485” communications
module.

U = 3...30 V DC, Ri = 1.8 kΩ, galvanically isolated

Configurable for: Positive zero return, totalizer reset, starting a batch
cycle or dual range mode.

Ambient conditions

Ambient temperature –25...+60 °C (Transmitter and sensor)

• An all-weather cover should be used to protect the housing from

direct sunlight when mounting in the open. This is especially important
in warmer climates and with high ambient temperatures.
• Due to the danger of the transmitter electronics overheating,
the transmitter and sensor are to be mounted separately with high
ambient and fluid temperatures (see Figure).
