Honeywell VFS-34-VF-25-57 Ultrasonic Clamp On Flowmeter
Product Information
The VERSAFLOW SONIC 1000/TWS 9000 F/…Ex is an ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter designed for installation, assembly, start-up, and maintenance by trained personnel. It is suitable for use in hazardous areas and is equipped with special codes and regulations. The device features a nameplate that displays operating conditions and should be checked for accuracy. The operator is responsible for determining the suitability, intended use, and corrosion resistance of the materials used against the measured fluid.
The flowmeter is available in different versions based on diameter range and rail sizes. The maximum ambient and process temperatures vary depending on the version, liner material, DN size, temperature, protection class, and maximum surface temperature of the sensor.
The electrical connections of the flowmeter must be carried out with the power disconnected. National regulations for electrical installations should be observed. Occupational health and safety regulations must be followed, and any work on the electrical components should be done by properly trained specialists.
The device requires a power supply and grounding for personnel protection against electric shocks. Additional safety notes apply for devices used in hazardous areas, as detailed in the Ex documentation. The manual provides instructions for connection of Ex (/i) acc. to NAMUR.
Product Usage Instructions
- For initial set up and installation, refer to the relevant manuals provided. The device nameplate should be checked to ensure correct operating conditions.
- Ensure the painted aluminium enclosures of the flow sensor and splitter box are protected against electrostatic charging.
- Choose the appropriate sensor size based on the diameter range and rail versions specified in the manual.
- Select the desired measuring mode based on the applicable options mentioned in the manual.
- Follow the menu options (X1…X5) as described in the manual for further configuration.
- For detailed installation options, including large version installation or applying solid pads, refer to the VERSAFLOW SONIC manual.
Note: Complete documentation, including manuals, supplementary manuals, data sheets, and certificates, can be found at www.honeywellprocess.com.
