IMPORTANT WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL THE STAFF WORKING WITH THE EQUIPMENT HAVE
READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW AND APPLY THEM BEFORE
USING IT. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT
LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM MISUSE BY THE OPERATOR.
The operator shall bear responsibility for the suitability of the device for the specific purpose:
Improper installation and operation of the devices (systems) will cause warranty to be void
• The manufacturer will not be liable for any kind of damage resulting from the use of its products,
including, but not limited to those deemed direct, indirect, incidental, punitive and consequential. The
installation, connection, commissioning and maintenance must be performed by staff specifically
qualified and authorized for that purpose.
• The installation personnel must ensure that the measuring system is correctly connected in accordance
with the wiring diagram.
For applications that require high working pressures or substances that may be hazardous to the
people, the environment, equipment or anything else if a pipe breakage occurs, BMeters Srl
recommends, that before installing the sensor the operator takes the appropriate precautions such
as precautions such as the correct location, protection or the mounting of a guard or safety valve.

INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTION
REQUIRING SPECIAL ATTENTION.
CE/EMC/Norme
The manual that describes this flowmeter conforms to the following safety rules:
• Directives EN 61326-1:2006, EN 55011:2009 + / A12010, EN 6100-3 (2/3), EN 6100-4 (2/3/4/5/6/8/11).
• Directive EN61010-1 (pending)
• Directive EN 60529 (pending)
• It is in class A.
In addition, it is essential to read the manual start-up that accompanies the flow meter and which is
contained in the package.
MANUFACTURER’S DESIGN AND SAFETY
STATEMENT
• Responsibility for the choice of lining and electrode materials in regards to abrasion and corrosion
resistance lies with the purchaser. The effect of any change in fluid process during the operation of the
device must be taken into account. Incorrect selection of lining and/or electrode could lead to a failure
of the device.
• While designing the device stresses and loads possibly caused by earthquakes, traffic, strong winds and
fire damage were not taken into account.
• Do not install the device so that it acts as a focus for pipeline stresses. In the configuration of the device
please take into account any external loads.
• During operation do not exceed the pressure and/or temperature ratings indicated on the nameplate or
in this Operating Manual.
BATTERY OPERATION:
• Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content. They are designed to meet the
highest possible safety standards. They may, however, pose a potential hazard if they are misused either
electrically or mechanically which may cause the generation of excessive heat and possible breakage
of the cell.
Thus the following basic precautions should be observed when handling and using lithium batteries:
- Do not short-circuit, recharge, overcharge or connect with incorrect polarity
- Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate the battery
- Do not crush, puncture or open cells or disassemble battery packs
- Do not weld or solder to the body of the battery, or the battery packs
- Do not expose contents to water
Lithium batteries are regulated under United Nations Model Regulations on Transport of Dangerous goods
(UN document on transport of hazardous goods), UN ST/SGAC document. 10-1, 12th revised edition, 2001.
The UN document No. 3091
Class 9 covers the lithium batteries packed with the equipment or inserted into it. The UN document No.
3090 Class 9 only covers the transport of the batteries themselves.
Thus the following basic precautions should be followed when transporting lithium batteries:
- Transport only in special packaging with special labels and transportation documents.
- Use caution in handling, transporting and packaging in order to prevent short circuiting of the batteries.
- The gross mass of the package is limited according to the type of transportation. In general, a gross
mass of less than 5 kg is acceptable for all forms of transport
-The batteries comply with the requirements set out in “UN Manual of tests and criteria, Part III,
subsection 38.3” for transport by air and with the provisions of the ADR regulations for the transport by
truck/sea.
• Remove the battery from the transmitter before returning the flow meter to BMeters Srl for
possible service or warranty claim.

1. PRELIMINARY NOTES
The main parts composing the electromagnetic flow meter consists of:
A. The sensor – is installed in the pipes using flanges or threaded attachments or clamp attachments
B. The converter – may be installed on the sensor (in compact version), or nearby (in remote version)
connected via two cables.
Electromagnetic flow meters have many important advantages with respect to relevant mechanical
counterparts, including among the others: outstanding long term stability, maximum process reliability, no
need for maintenance. Consequently, these sensors can deliver accurate and reliable measurements for
many years.
Please see the paragraphs below for more detailed instructions on correct installation.
NOTE
ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METERS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
TO WORK UNDER FEW BASIC CONDITIONS:
1. LIQUID MUST BE CONDUCTIVE
2. THE PIPE MUST ALWAYS BE COMPLETELY FILLED
3. INLET AND OUTLET DISTANCES MUST BE THOSE RECOMMENDED
2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The proper lifting method is shown in Figure fig_2_1, while it must be avoided that shown in Figure fig_2_2; to
be noticed, do NOT raise the flow meter gripping the converter, but always holding it on the sides.
fig_2_1 fig_2_2
10
Moreover:
DO NOT move the flow meter with the lifting device without the original packaging or without the help
of an appropriate support, ensuring the required stability.

3.3.5 IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR
CORRECT INSTALLATION
For a correct working condition please follow
the important guidelines shown in the following
figures. Improper installation result in inaccurate
measurement.
To achieve the most accurate flow measurement
it is essential to have minimum straight lengths
of the inlet and outlet pipes as shown (DN: sensor
nominal diameter)
• For partially filled pipes or pipes with downward
flow and free outlet, the flow meter should be fig_335_2
located in a U-tube, respecting the upward and • Keep 5 meters between the axis of the flow

downstream.
fig_335_1
fig_335_3
• In the case of T-connection between two
different tubes, please keep a 10DN distance
upstream of the flow meter.
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE SENSOR MUST ALWAYS BE COMPLETELY FULL WITH LIQUID!
• In this installation the sensor is full with liquid • The position on the left is correct, the other two

• DO NOT use the sensor as a support for the tube.
• Always install the sensor downstream the pump
and NEVER upstream to avoid vacuum.

4. POTENTIAL EQUALIZATION
• Liquid potential equalization or grounding is accomplished with the built-in grounding electrode (so called
3rd electrode). The 3rd electrode electrically bond the liquid to the device to provide a stable and accurate
measurement.
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE SENSOR MUST ALWAYS BE GROUNDED!
AN INCORRECT GROUNDING CONNECTION MAY LEAD
TO INCORRECT MEASUREMENTS
NOTE
THE FLOW METER IS EQUIPPED WITH A GROUNDING ELECTRODE (THIRD
ELECTRODE). IN THE CASE OF PLASTIC OR LINED PIPES IT IS RECOMMEND THE USE
OF GROUND RINGS.
