4.2 Grounding
CAUTION!
The grounding should not transmit any interference voltage. Therefore do not ground any other

separation (PELV) according to IEC 364/IEC 536 or VDE 0100/VDE 0106.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the secured (glued) adjusting screw. Removing the screw will affect the gas
tightness and durability of the device.

5.4 Disposal
CAUTION!
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with legislation applicable in your country.
Separate collection of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) in the European Union:
According to the directive 2012/19/EU, the monitoring and control instruments marked with the
WEEE symbol and reaching their end-of-life must not be disposed of with other waste
waste.
The user must dispose of the WEEE to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE or
send them back to our local organisation or authorised representative.
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flowmeter
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate Q. A signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it and
convert it into signals for totalizing, recording and output processing.

The O-rings are not part of the manufacturer portfolio.
INFORMATION!
For 3A applications, O-rings must conform to the requirements of the 3A sanitary standard for
Flow meters, number 28-04 Class I or Class II (max. 8% milk fat).
The used O-rings must also withstand the processing, sterilization and chemical conditions for
the intended use ( for more information, contact the manufacturer)
