1.1 Using the Coriolis

Flowmeter Safely

WARNING

(1) Installation
• Installation of the Coriolis flowmeter must be

performed by expert engineer or skilled person-
nel. No operator shall be permitted to perform
procedures relating to installation.

• The Coriolis flowmeter is a heavy instrument.

Be careful that no damage is caused to person-
nel through accidentally dropping it, or by exert-
ing excessive force on the Coriolis flowmeter.
When moving the Coriolis flowmeter, always
use a trolley and have at least two people carry
it.

• When the Coriolis flowmeter is processing hot

fluids, the instrument itself may become

extremely hot. Take sufficient care not to get

burnt.

• Where the fluid being processed is a toxic

substance, avoid contact with the fluid and
avoid inhaling any residual gas, even after the
instrument has been taken off the line for main-
tenance and so forth.

• All procedures relating to installation must com-

ply with the electrical code of the country where
it is used.

(2) Wiring
• The wiring of the Coriolis flowmeter must be

performed by expert engineer or skilled person-
nel. No operator shall be permitted to perform
procedures relating to wiring.

• When connecting the wiring, check that the

supply voltage is within the range of the voltage
specified for this instrument before connecting
the power cable. In addition, check that no
voltage is applied to the power cable before
connecting the wiring.

• The protective grounding must be connected

securely at the terminal with the mark to
avoid danger to personnel.

(3) Operation
• Do not open the cover until the power has been

off for at least 10 minutes. Only expert engi-
neer or skilled personnel are permitted to open
the cover.

(4) Maintenance
• Maintenance on the Coriolis flowmeter should

be performed by expert engineer or skilled
personnel. No operator shall be permitted to
perform any operations relating to maintenance.

• Always conform to maintenance procedures

outlined in this manual. If necessary, contact
Yokogawa.

• Care should be taken to prevent the build up

of dirt, dust or other substances on the display
panel glass or data plate. If these surfaces do
get dirty, wipe them clean with a soft dry cloth.

(5) European Pressure Equipment Directive

(PED)

• When using the instrument as a PED-compliant
product, be sure to read Chapter 10 before use.
(6) Hazardous Duty Type Instruments

• For explosion proof type instruments the
description in chapter 9 "EXPLOSION

PROTECTED TYPE INSTRUMENT" has
priority to the other descriptions in this instruc
tion manual.
• All instruction manuals for ATEX Ex related
products are available in English, German and
French. Should you require Ex related instruc
tions in your local language, you should
contact your nearest Yokogawa office or

representative.
• Only trained personal should install and

maintain instruments in hazardous areas.
• The protective grounding terminal must be
connected to a suitable IS grounding system.
• Avoid mechanical generated sparks while
working on the equipment and peripherally
devices in hazardous areas.
