1 gear Type Flow MeterVCConstruction and principle of operation1 Housing2 Cover3 Gear4 Preamplifier5 Connector6 Sensor7 Bearing assembly The measuring gears aredriven by the liquid flowon the principle of a gearmotor. The gears run withoutcontact in the measuringchamber. The bearing ele-ments are low-friction ballor plain bearings. The movement of thegears is sampled withoutcontact by means of twosensors located in thecover. Between sensorcompartment and measu-ring chamber is located apressure-resistant, non-magnetic separator plate. 1234675 Principle of operationConstruction When the measuringmechanism rotates by onetooth pitch, the sensoremits a signal which cor-responds to the geometri-cal tooth volume Vgz . The signal is convertedinto a square-wave signalby the preamplifier. The two-channel samplingpermits better resolutionas well as recognition ofthe flow GmbH Postbox 1420/1440 D-58774 Werdohl Phone 0049 (23 92 ) 935-0 Fax 0049 (23 92 ) 935 209 Internet: e-mail: GmbH Postbox 1420/1440 D-58774 Werdohl Phone 0049 (23 92 ) 935-0 Fax 0049 (23 92 ) 935 209 Internet: e-mail: features Optimized for individualapplications because theseries have been renderedmedia-specific by meansof differing clearances,bearing variants andmaterials.

The explosion-proof designconsists of the volumecounter (intrinsically safeelectrical apparatus) andthe switching amplifierK 130 (associated electricalapparatus).Principle of operationThe type of protection intrinsic safety appliesto this construction. The volume counter isinstalled in the potentiallyexplosive atmosphere. The mounting of the switching amplifier K 130 is carried out in the safe area. Volume counter and swit-ching amplifier are electri-cally connected to eachother.

10 The switching am-plifier evaluates the sensorsignals and converts themto square-wave signals. Without switching ampli-fier, the volume countermust not be operated inthe potentially explosiveatmosphere. Cable lengths of up to400 m are possible bet-ween volume counter andswitching amplifier.
