In such cases, YOKOGAWAshall not be liable for any indirect or consequential lossincurred by either using or not being able to use theInstrument.(1) General• This instrument conforms to EN61326-1, EN61326-2-3, EN61000-3-2, and EN61000-3-3 (EMC standard).• This instrument is an EN61326-1 (EMC standard),Class A (for use in commercial, industrial, or businessenvironments).• This instrument (General-purpose type) is compliedwith IP66 and IP67 in the IP Protection Grade.YOKOGAWA assumes no liability for the customer’sfailure to comply with these requirements.• This instrument (Submersible type) is complied withIP68 in the IP Protection Grade.YOKOGAWA assumes no liability for the customer’sfailure to comply with these requirements.• This instrument is designed for indoor and outdooruse.CAUTIONThis instrument is a Class A instrument in theEN61326-1(EMC standard). Operation of thisinstrument in a residential area may cause radiointerference, in which case the user is required to takeappropriate measures to correct the interference.IMPORTANTThe minimum ambient temperature is limited by theminimum fluid temperature of the sensor (the lining).For more information, read the applicable generalspecifications as listed in Table 1.1.The flowmeter may be used in an ambient humiditywhere the relative humidity ranges from 0 to 100%.However, avoid long-term continuous operation atrelative humidity above 95%.WARNING• Purpose of useThis instrument is the Magnetic Flowmeter for use ofmeasuring the liquid flow. Do not use this instrumentfor other purposes.WARNING• Installation, wiring and maintenance of the magneticflowmeter must be performed by expert engineeror skilled personnel. No operator shall be permittedto perform procedures relating to installation, wiringand maintenance.• Wiring work should be done adequate wire, sleevecrimp and torque force. Use terminal with insulatingcover for the power supply wiring and protectivegrounding wiring. Do not pull the wires too muchstrongly in order to prevent electric shocks causedby their damage.• Do not open the cover in wet weather or humidenvironment. When the cover is open, statedenclosure protection is not applicable.• Ensure that the power supply is off in order toprevent electric shocks.• When opening the cover, wait for more than 20minutes after turning off the power. Only expertengineer or skilled personnel are permitted to openthe cover.• When opening and closing the transmitter cover, besure to handle the transmitter cover carefully so thatthere are no damage and foreign matter adhesion atits threads and O-ring.• This instrument employs the parts which areaffected by a function damage caused by staticelectricity. Thus, you should do the antistatic workusing an anti-static wrist band for it and be carefulto avoid touching each electrical parts and circuitrydirectly.• When connecting the wiring, check that the supplyvoltage is within the range of the voltage specifiedfor this instrument before connecting the powercable. In addition, check that no voltage is applied tothe power cable before connecting the wiring.• To prevent electric shocks, ensure the electricalwiring cover is completely attached after the wiringwork.• To prevent electric shocks, do not impress overrated voltage to each input/output terminals.• If there is any unused electrical connection, usethe blanking plug to cover which comes with thisinstrument or which is supplied by YOKOGAWA.The blanking plug should be fastened into theunused electrical connection without any mistake. Ifnot, stated enclosure protection is not applicable.1 Introduction
