Essen al Instruc ons for When Equipments Is To Be Used In Hazardous Loca ons,
Including the European Union (Direc ve 94/9/EC)

Any Hazardous area approval applies to equipment without cable glands. When moun ng the flameproof
enclosure in a hazardous area only cable glands / conduit seals cer fied to meet or exceed the ra ng of the
equipment should be used, refer to the type approval documenta on for further details. It is the end users
responsibility to ensure this happens.

Cable glands and cable must be suitable for the opera ng temperature of the device under its rated condi ons,
this is especially important is the device has an opera ng temperature above 1580F (700C).

The meter has been provided with an approved sealing device in one of the cable entries, the other entry has
been closed with a plas c cap plug. It is the end users responsibility to remove the cap plug and replace it with a
suitable cable gland or conduit seal before the equipment is put into service.

It is the end users responsibility to ensure when the instrument is located in a hazardous area that all Cable
glands and conduit seals must be installed in accordance with the local codes and regula ons.

It is the end users responsibility to ensure that before opening an electronic enclosure in a flammable
atmosphere; all the electrical circuits must be interrupted.

If replacement of the screws which secure the sensor housing, the UMB cover of the electronic register and its
cover are required, they must be replaced with either factory direct parts or M6-1 x 16 (6g) mm hex socket head
screws of equal length. The screws must be made from stainless steel grade A1-70 or A2-70 and be torqued to a
value of 55 in lbs upon installa on, its is the end users responsibility to ensure this happens.

It is the end users responsibility to assess the maximum surface temperature of the device and the equipment
the device is a ached to and located next to as this may exceed the temperature ra ngs of the device itself. If
this happens, addi onal safety precau ons will need to be implemented by the end user.

Flame proof housings contain Aluminium; although the composi on of these enclosures is carefully maintained
to prevent any risk of an igni on source it is the end users responsibility to ensure that the housing is not struck
by rusty tools or objects.

If the equipment is to be installed in an area where dust deposits and build up are to be expected, a
maintenance plan should be arranged to include regular removal of the dust build up. This will prevent the dusts
forming a possible source of igni on.

The power supply requirements for this product are specified with in the opera ng and maintenance manual, it
is the end users responsibility to operate the product with in these specified limits.

The instrument contains surfaces that cons tute flames paths, these surfaces should not contain any mars or
scratches, if any are present the factory or the local representa ve should be contacted immediately to obtain
a new housing as the safety of the enclosure may be impaired. It is the end users responsibility to inspect these
surfaces every me the enclosure is opened.

When flanged flame paths are re assembled the gap between them should be less than 0.0015” (0.038 mm) such
that a ½” (12.5mm) wide feeler 0.0015” (0.038mm) gauge will not enter the gap more than 1/8” (3mm). It is the
end users responsibility to ensure this happens each me the enclosure is reassembled.

The BiRotor Plus is a posi ve displacement (PD) meter.

A PD meter uses a mechanical principle that measures
flow by con nuously dividing the flowing stream into
known volumetric segments, isola ng those segments
momentarily, and then returning them to the flowing
stream while coun ng the number of displacements.
This is a direct volume measurement, there is no

Higher Temperature Start Up

On higher temperature service above 212 Deg F, 100

Deg C, ( based on an ambient of 70 Deg F, 21 Deg C)
special start-up procedures are required to prevent
damage to the flowmeter components. The following
equa on may be used to determine the approximate
flowmeter warn up me. A similar procedure should
be followed on any thermal shock in excess of 176 Deg
F, 80 Deg C.

During this warm up me the meter should be

operated at approx 5% of Max flow to allow the

Note: There are no user adjustable parts in these
instruments, however the instrument housing is
provided with two cross drilled bolts and cross drilled
drain plugs to facilitate sealing if required by the local
weights and measures regula ons.

Performance Considera ons

The instrument will give many years of consistent

performance with li le need for maintenance or
service. There are however several recommenda ons
which if followed will further extend the instruments
service life.

The instrument should be kept filled with the process

fluids it is measuring. This prevents the exposure to
any product vapor, which in the case of petroleum
products are more corrosive than their liquids. In
addi on this also prevents the forma on and build
up of deposits or gums which would cause increased
mechanical fric on.

The instrument should always be kept free of water,

keeping it full of the process fluid will accomplish this,
but if this is not possible a regular inspec on program
should be set up and any water drained from the
measuring system.

Filter and strainers baskets should be cleaned

frequently; Debris and foreign ma er are the biggest
cause of meter wear and damage.

All other associated equipment with in the system

should be regularly maintained and checked for
func onality.

Maintenance Considera ons

The amount of maintenance necessary for efficient

instrument performance is dependant on many
factors; some of these are listed below.
Con nuity of Opera on: An instrument that operates
con nuously will required more a en on than one
used intermi ently
Working flow rate: The life of the instrument is
propor onal to the speed of it opera on. If the
instrument is opera ng at or near to it maximum
flow rate it will have a shorter life expectancy than if
it where opera ng at its minimum flow rate.
