2. Note

Please read and take note of these operating instructions before unpacking and

setting the unit for operation, and follow the instructions precisely as described

herein.

The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar

with these operating instructions and with the prevailing regulation applying to

procedural safety and the prevention of accidents.

PED 2014/68/EU

In acc. with Article 4 Paragraph (3), "Sound Engineering Practice", of the

PED 2014/68/EU no CE mark.

Table 8, Pipe, Group 1 dangerous fluids

3. Regulated usage

Model BVO and RVO instruments are used for monitoring of fluid flows. Only

clean, low viscosity and homogenous media may be measured, which do not

affect the materials used in the instrument casing. Large measuring errors will

occur when using high viscosity media. Large dirt particles can lead to blocking of

the float and therefore large measurement and signal errors. Ferritic particles that

deposit on the float body (with internal magnet) can also lead to a similar effect

therefore we recommend a magnet filter.

The instruments are provided as follows:

Flow measurement

The actual flow can be read locally at the instrument.

The scale shows the flow rate directly in litres per minute of water.

Limit Value Contacts

For the monitoring of the flow rate, the instruments can be fitted with one or two

adjustable limit value contacts.

Standard Design: Normally open (with rising flow)

Special Design: Changeover switch (SPDT)

Special Design: Ex-contact N/O, Ex-contact SPDT

The contact is adjustable over the full measuring range.

5. Instrument Inspection

The instruments are inspected before dispatch and sent out in perfect condition.

Should damage to the instrument be visible, we recommend close inspection of

the delivery package. In cases of damage, please immediately inform the

shippers as they are liable for any damage in transit.

Scope of delivery:

All Parts belonging to the standard scope of supply are attached to the

instrument.

The model BVO and RVO flow monitors are

based on the principle of the well-known float

type flowmeters except for the conventional

upward tapering measuring tube. These

patented instruments are provided instead

with a cylindrical guidetube with conical slots

along the periphery. A float is found in this

tube which, by means of the flow of the

medium, is raised in the tube. Each float

position corresponds to a certain flow.

Permanent magnets are inserted in the float

which activates reed switches mounted

outside of the flow throughput. The activation

of the contacts is carried out by means of

magnetic field, ie: the contact is hermetically

separated from the flowing medium.

6. Mechanical connection

Before installation:

Please ascertain whether the allowable maximum operating pressure and

operating temperature of the instruments will not be exceeded (See Standard

Material Combinations).

The instrument should be installed in a vertical position in the pipework. The

flow direction is from bottom to top.

Remove all transport packing and ascertain that no packing material is left in

the instrument.

Sealing of the connection threads should be carried out with Teflon tape or

similar.

While mounting please check that there is no mechanical stress applied to the

process connectors. We recommend a fastening of the input and output pipes

approx. 50 mm in front of and behind the connectors.

Do not install the instrument within an induction field.

Warning: When mounting the meters secure the process connectors by

means of a suitable wrench. Failure to do so may result in a damage of the

measuring glass.

Check that the connection thread to pipe is fully sealed immediately after

mechanical installation (See Commissioning of the Instruments).

Warning: With outside installation please keep in mind that the measuring

glass may be destroyed at low temperatures by freezing of the medium.

7. Electrical connection

Ensure that the power is disconnected during connection of the cable.

Loosen the holding screw on the plug cap and remove the cap from the plug.

Connect the power cable to the plug cap in accordance with the connection

diagram below. Wiring for EX-Switches:

EX-N/O: brown / blue

EX-SPDT: black / blue N/C

black / brown N/O

Examples for Contact Protection Measures

For capacitive and inductive loads (long cables and replays) we recommend

protective switching.

Connect the plug to the contact connections

and secure it with the holding screw.

Warning: The given electrical values of the

reed contacts may not be exceeded even

for short periods. For higher switching

values we recommend contact protection

relays or other contact protection

measures.

Following connection of the external

equipment to the output and adjustment of

the required switch points, the external

power supply to the equipment may be

switched on.

8. Commissioning of the Instruments

The use of this meter in machines acc. to directive 89/392/EWG is prohibited until

the complete machine complies to this directive.

Adjustment of the limit values

Adjust the switch in this position by means of tightening the fixing screws.

Replace the plug cap and the instrument is now ready for operation.

If the limit switch is adjusted correctly, a bi-stable switch characteristic is

achieved, i.e.: the contact remains closed when the float rises above the set

limit value (PIN 1+2, or alternatively PIN 2+3).

Hysteresis

Hysteresis is characterised by the difference between the switching on and

switching off points of the contact. By matching the magnet and reed contact

sensitivity (AW Number) a hysteresis of approx. 6-10 mm way of float movement

is achieved. At the same time it may be assured that the contacts have a bi-

stable switching characteristic.

Loosen the two fixing srews on the contact base.

Slide the switch housing to the bottom stop.

After loosening the holding screw, remove the plug

cap from the contact base.

Connect a suitable continuity meter to PIN 1+2

(changeover switch PIN 2+3).

When the instrument is installed, open the inlet line

and introduce the medium slowly until the top edge of

the float indicates the required minimum flow volume.

The reed contact is now closed (electrical continuity).

Warning: Sudden opening or closing of the flow line

may result in pressure peeks several times higher

than the system pressure. This may cause the

destruction of the measuring glass.

When the instrument is not yet installed, the float may

be lifted with a suitable tool.

Push the switch housing to the top until the reed

contact opens

(no electrical continuity).

Exceeding the Measuring Range:

Warning: Continuously exceeding the measuring range together with

pulsating flow results in the float hitting the upper stop continuously which

can lead to increased wear in the instrument. When such cases occur,

please contact the supplier.

The flow range may be exceeded by a large margin with a non-pulsating flow.

Only a certain increase in pressure loss is experienced (The permissible

maximum operating pressure must not be exceeded).

9. Maintenance

For measured media without contamination, the BVO or RVO instrument is

almost maintenance-free. Where contamination or calcium or algae deposits are

found on the internal parts, the instrument should be regularly cleaned.

The instrument may be removed from the pipe with a suitable open ended

spanner. The internal parts are accessible for cleaning after removing the top

connection. The internal parts may be cleaned with a suitable brush. After

cleaning, the instrument should be reassembled in the correct manner. We

recommend that the O - rings of the screwed connections are changed
