1. 1 About this document

These Operating Instructions contain basic information on function, installation, start-up
and maintenance.
For detailed information on functional checks/device settings, data backup, software
update, malfunction and error handling and possible repairs, see the Service Manual for
the FLOWSIC100 Flare measuring system.
NOTICE:
Always read the Operating Instructions before starting any work! The
observance of all safety and warning notes is imperative!

1.2 Main hazards
1.2.1 Hazards due to hot, cold (cryogenic) or aggressive gases, or high pressure
The sender/receiver units are mounted directly on the gas-carrying pipeline.
On equipment with low hazard potential (e.g. non-toxic, aggressive or explosive gases;
gases not hazardous to health; uncritical pressure; moderate gas temperature (not hot or
very low/cryogenic), the installation or removal can be performed while the equipment is in
operation, however only as far as the valid regulations and equipment safety notices are
observed and suitable protective measures are taken. Special regulations that apply to the
plant must be observed.
WARNING: Gas hazard

 Activities on equipment with increased hazard potential, e.g. by toxic,
aggressive, explosive gases, health endangering, higher pressure, high
temperatures, low temperature (cryogenic), have to follow legitimate
regulations, general standards and guidelines as well as plant operator
instructions. Only authorized personnel with special qualification for the
"hot tapping" method may fit devices on running equipment (authorized
personnel → pg. 19, § 1.4). Otherwise, serious injuries might occur, e.g.
poisoning, burns etc..
These persons must be trained and technically adept in "hot tapping"
installation work and must know and implement legal as well as generally
applicable regulations and in-house regulations.
 The express approval of the plant operator in written form is required for
installations on running equipment at all times. The plant operator carries
the responsibility for professional implementation alone. All safety
requirements relevant for the equipment must be observed as well as
essential and suitable protective measures taken. All regulations/special
regulations that can be applicable for the plant must be observed.
1.2.2 Hazards with electrical equipment

The FLOWSIC100 Flare measuring system is equipment used for operation of industrial
high-voltage plants.
WARNING: Mains voltage Danger

 Disconnect mains lines before working on mains connections or parts
carrying mains voltage.
 Refit any contact protection removed before switching the mains voltage on
again.
1.2.3 Hazards due to explosive or combustible gases

The FLOWSIC100 Flare measuring system may be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres according to the respective specifications.
WARNING: Hazards due to explosive or combustible gases

 In potentially explosive atmospheres, only use the version of the FLOW-
SIC100 Flare specified for such use (→ pg. 13, § 1.3.2).
 Observe the information on → pg. 11, § 1.2.1 during installation work on run-
ning equipment ("hot tapping" method).

1.2.4 Hazards due to electrostatic discharges

The electronic housing of the FLSE100 and of the optionally available meter body is
painted by the manufacturer with a layer thickness of max. 0.2 mm.
WARNING:
Ignition hazards through electrostatic discharges exist when the FLOWSIC100
Flare with special paint and a layer thickness > 0.2 mm is used in applications
with ignition group IIC in accordance with ATEX and IECEx.
 For installation, the risk of electrostatic charging of the surface must be
reduced to a minimum.
 Use appropriate caution when performing maintenance and cleaning work.
For example, the surfaces should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. The
affected devices will be identified by the manufacturer by a warning label.

1.3 Intended use
1.3.1 Purpose of the device

velocity, gas volume, mass flows and molecular weight in pipelines.
1.3.2 Correct use

1.3.2.1 General
 Use the device only as described in these Operating Instructions. The manufacturer
bears no responsibility for any other use.
 Observe all measures necessary for conservation of value, e.g. for maintenance and
inspection and/or transport and storage.
⊗ Do not remove, add to or modify any components on the device unless described and
specified in the official manufacturer information. Otherwise
– the device could become dangerous
– any warranty by the manufacturer becomes void
⊗ Do not use damaged components or parts.
1.3.2.2 FLSE100 sender/receiver units for use in ex zones
The sender/receiver units of the FLOWSIC100 EX-S, EX, EX-RE and EX-PR device versions
are available as options for use in Ex zone 1 and 2 or as versions for use in Ex zone 2 only.
● Sender/receiver units marked ATEX II 2 G IECEx and CSA Class I Division 1

are approved for use for gases in Ex zones 1 and 2.
● Sender/receiver units marked ATEX II 3 G and CSA Class I Division 2 are
suitable for use for gases in Ex zone 2.
1.3.2.3 Use of FLOWSIC100 FLARE depending on temperature class and process temperature
Installation and use of sender/receiver units FLSE100 where electronic parts and
transducer parts are in the same area
This area is a hazardous area, i.e. zone 1 or zone 2 in which an explosive atmosphere exists
under normal atmospheric conditions of:
– specified ambient temperature -40 ... +70 °C for T4 or -40 ... +55 °C for T6,
optionally minimum ambient temperature -50 °C
– ambient pressure 80 kPa (0.8 bar) to 110 kPa (1.1 bar)
– air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v.

1.3.2.4 Permitted gas temperature depending on temperature code of FLSE100

Case 1 (see → p. 14, Table 1):
Outside the pipeline an explosive atmosphere exists under normal atmospheric conditions,
which is categorized as area zone 1 or zone 2. Inside the pipeline the process conditions
can be different from atmospheric conditions. Process conditions can be in the range as
specified on the tag of the FLSE100. In this case the gas or gas mixture can be combus-
tible but must not be explosive.
Case 2 and 3 (see → p. 14, Table 1:
On both sides of the pipeline an explosive atmosphere exists under normal atmospheric
conditions. The pipe wall separates different zones, i.e. inside the pipe is zone 1 and
outside the pipe is zone 2. This means the gas temperature and the line pressure must not
exceed the specified ambient values.
NOTICE:
The pipe wall can separate different hazardous areas (zones).

The standard FLSE100 (Temperature Code T4) can be used in the following gas temperatures:
T4 -70 … +130 °C1 -40 … +70 °C2 -20 … +60 °C
T3 -70 … +195 °C 1 3 -40 … +70 °C 2 -20 … +60 °C

1 Option low temperature version with minimum temperature -196 °C (not available for EX/EX-RE Zone 1 and CSA)
2 Option minimum temperature -50 °C
3 Limit for FLSE100 Standard temperature +180 °C, limit for FLSE low temperature version +100 °C

NOTICE:
If the real gas temperature in the pipeline is higher than the ignition
temperature marked by the temperature code on the tag of the FLSE100, the
possible explosive atmosphere does not contain gases which are classified in a
temperature code with a lower ignition temperature than the highest gas
temperature respectively the outside surface temperature of the pipeline itself.
The possibility for heating up of the ambient air by the pipeline around that
must be observed. Ambient temperature around the electronic enclosure must
not exceed +70 °C for FLSE100 marked with T4 and must not exceed +55 °C
for FLSE100 marked with T6. The compliance with these requirements is the
sole responsibility of the user. Particularly the FLSE100 marked with
temperature code T6 run the risk of non-resettable switch-off due to the
thermal cutoffs inside the electronics enclosure. In this case the FLSE100
must be repaired by the manufacturer only. Warranty will be expired.
Compliance with the above requirements is the sole responsibility of the user.

1.3.2.5 Sender/receiver unit with probe retraction mechanism

The retraction mechanism serves to remove and fit complete FLOWSIC100 Flare sender/
receiver units for maintenance or replacement without relieving pressure in the pipeline in
which the measuring system is fitted. This allows maintenance work without having to
interrupt the process.
WARNING: Specified temperature and pressure ranges

Only operate probe retraction mechanism in the following ranges for gas
temperature and operating pressure:
● Device types FL100 EX-S, EX and EX-RE:
– Gas temperature range -20°C to +200 °C
– Upper operating pressure 16 bar at 50 °C (see p-T diagrams in chapter
2.3.1.1 - 2.3.1.6.)
● Device type FL100 EX-PR
– Gas temperature range -20°C to +200 °C
– Upper operating pressure limit is +0.5 bar at whole temperature range.
WARNING: Hazardous gas (possibly explosive or toxic)

Small gas quantities escape during the removal and installation of the
transducer assemblies. During proper use, the gas crowd locked up in the
retraction space is less than 0.5 dm³ for device type EX-S, EX and EX-RE and
less than 2.5 dm³ for device type EX-PR.
 Staff performing activities at plants with poisonous or other gases
dangerous to health must use suitable safety equipment to prevent
personal injuries.
WARNING: Hazardous gas (possibly explosive or toxic)

The retraction flange of the S/R units contains a connection for optional vent-
ing (→ Fig. 8, → Fig. 12 and → Fig. 16 - Fig. 22).
 This connection is closed with a blind screw by factory and may not be
removed outside factory!
1.3.2.6 MCUP control unit

The MCUP control unit is optionally available in the versions for use in Ex zone 1 and 2 or
for use only in Ex zone 2 or not for use in Ex zones.
● Control units with marking ATEX II 2 G Ex de II C T6 are approved for use in

Ex zone 1 and 2.
● Control units with marking ATEX II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc are approved for use
only in Ex zone 2 or for use in safe areas.
WARNING: Explosion hazard

 Install and operate the MCUP control unit without explosion protection only
outside Ex zones.
 Use the explosion-protected MCUP control unit only according to the
respective Ex marking.

1.3.3 Restrictions of use
WARNING: Pressure/temperature hazard

 Use the measuring system only within the pressure and temperature limits
specified in these Operating Instructions and on the device type plate. The
selected materials must be resistant to the process gases.
WARNING: Dangerous voltage

● With the use of sender/receiver units FLSE100-EXS and EXPR zone 1 the
rated voltage UM used in the safe area may not exceed 125 V. Higher volt-
ages can jeopardize intrinsic safety of the ultrasonic transducer circuit
when errors occur.
 Ensure that the rated voltage UM used in the safe area does not exceed
125 V.
● The FLOWSIC100 Flare is not equipped with a power switch.
 Plan and install a suitable switching off device.
The ultrasonic transducers/probes are preferably intended for installation in gas-carrying

pipelines. It is not absolutely necessary that atmospheric conditions prevail within the
pipeline. The pipe wall is then a zone-separating wall, i.e. no Ex zone is defined within the
pipeline, at least temporarily.
WARNING: Leakage hazard

Operation with leakage is not permitted.
● The metallic and hermetically sealed, fully welded housing and the seal
must comply with all safety requirements which must also be fulfilled by the
pipeline itself with respect to design pressure and temperature and compat-
ibility of the material with the medium.
● The ultrasonic transducers with their gas-tight and pressure-proof housings
must be installed in the pipeline gas-tight and pressure-tight. Depending on
the design, at least one seal with an O-ring according to DIN 3771 or a stan-
dardized sealing flange must be provided.
● The sealing itself must consist of material which is compatible with the
medium and is suitable for the application conditions.
 Check the sealing surfaces and elements for intactness before
installation.
 Check the sealing effect with suitable methods after installation.
 Regularly check leak-tightness during operation and replace the seal, as
required.
● The sealing effect must be checked with suitable methods after installation
and every removing and re-installation. Leak-tightness is to be checked reg-
ularly during operation and the seal replaced, as required. Before every re-
installation new seals have to be used in the required design.

Application limitations for use in hazardous area classification Ex zone 1

The following additional regulations are applicable for the use of FLOWSIC100 Flare in
applications with Ex zone 1:
 Ultrasonic probes made of titanium may be used in zone 1 only when risks of ignition
arising from impacts or friction on the sensor housing can be ruled out.
 When ultrasonic probes are installed in pipelines with a defined hazardous area, solid
parts, e.g. dust or other particles may not cause an ignition hazard.
Application limitations for use in hazardous area classification Ex zone 0 in the pipeline
The use in applications of zone 0 is generally possible only for device types
FLOWSIC100 EX-S and EX-PR under consideration of the application limitations specified
in these Operating Instructions.
● Ultrasonic probes can also be operated in zone 0 under atmospheric condi-

tions (ambient temperature -20°C to 60°C and ambient pressure 0.8 bar
to 1.1 bar absolute). The device must be labelled at least with the informa-
tion II 1/2 G Ex ia.
● Ultrasonic probes made from titanium may be used in zone 0 only if the
medium does not contain firm parts (e.g. dust and other particles), and the
ultrasonic probes are installed in the zone 0 (e.g. the inside of a pipe) in
such a way that the danger of ignition due to impact or friction is excluded.
The intrinsically safe ultrasonic transducers with their gas-tight and pres-
sure-proof housings must be installed gas-tight and pressure-tight in the
wall separating the zones to zone 0. The wall must be thicker than 3 mm.
The requirements in EN 60079-26 section 4.6 must be adhered to.

2. 1 System basic information
2.1.1 Functional principle

The FLOWSIC100 Flare gas velocity measuring devices operate according to the principle of
difference measurement in ultrasonic transit times. On both sides of a pipeline, the
sender/receiver units are installed in a certain path angle to the gas flow (→ Fig. 2).
The sender/receiver units contain piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers which operate
alternately as senders and receivers. The sonic pulses are beamed at angle α to the gas
flow direction. Depending on angle α and gas velocity v, different transit times for the
respective sound direction (formulas 2.1 and 2.2) result from "acceleration or brake
effects". The higher the gas velocity and the smaller the angle to the flow direction, the
more the transit times of the sound pulses differ.
Gas velocity v is determined from the difference of both transit times, irrespective of the
value of the sound velocity. With this measuring method, changes of the sound velocity due
to pressure or temperature variations therefore have no influence on the gas velocity
determined.

Product Description
Determination of gas velocity

Measuring path L is equivalent to the active measuring path, i.e. the free flow path. For
measuring path L, sound velocity c and path angle α between sound and flow directions,
the following is valid for the transit time of the sound for sound propagation in direction of
the gas flow (forward direction):
L
tAB = (2.1)
c + v · cos α
Valid against the flow is:

tBA = (2.2)
c - v · cos α
Resolving for v results in:

2 · cos α
· ( t1AB 1
)
tBA
(2.3)
i.e. a relation in which, except for the two transit times measured, only the active measuring
path and the path angle exist as constants.

Based on the dependencies according to formula 2.5, the sound velocity can be used for

purposes.

Volume flow determination

The volume flow in operating mode is calculated from the gas velocity and the geometric
dimensions of the pipeline.

molecular weight.

Product Description
2.1.2 System configuration

The following figures show cross-duct installations (FLOWSIC100 EX/ EX-RE, EX-S). In
principle, the configuration is also valid for single side installations (FLOWSIC100 EX-PR).
Configuration Description
1-path 2 sender/receiver units (1) are mounted on
measurement the pipeline (2). The measurement path (3)
is positioned across the center of the 1 1
pipeline.
Special application conditions can require a
path positioning outside the center of the
pipeline (shortening of active measuring 2
path).
Instead of 2 sender/receiver units also a 3
probe version can be used (type EX-PR).
2x1-path In this configuration the control unit MCUP serves two independent 1-path measurement
measurement systems. Both pairs of sender/receiver units are connected to the same control unit MCUP.
Separate processing and output of the measuring results for both measuring points is
performed by the MCUP. Preferably both measurements are installed like standard 1-path
measurements in the center of the pipeline.
2-path Two pairs of sender/receiver units are
measurement installed at the same measuring location
and are connected to the same control unit
MCUP.
Both measurement paths should preferably
be positioned outside the center of the
pipeline and run parallel to one another.
Computation of both measuring paths to
one measuring result is performed via the
MCUP.
Two-path measurement is used to achieve higher measuring precision or for complicated
flow conditions.
Path compensation
The device is uses an integrated algorithm for path compensation in the case of a path
failure.
In trouble-free function, the system learns the relation of gas velocity and sound velocity
between both measurement paths. In case of a path failure, the system can calculate
theoretical values on basis of the learned path relations and can replace the invalid values
against them. In this way the path failure can be temporarily compensated and the
measurement is continued with slightly increased uncertainty. Under such conditions, the
measurement system automatically signals "Maintenance request".

Product Description
3x1-path Three individual measuring paths from different measuring points can be connected to
measurement one control unit with this variant. Separate processing and output of the measuring results
for all three measuring points are performed by the MCUP.

Product Description
2.1.3 Communication between sender/receiver units and control unit

2.2 System components
2.2.1 FLSE100 sender/receiver unit

The sender/receiver units consist of the electronic unit (slave probe of type FLOWSIC100
EX-S without electronic unit), connecting piece and duct probe with transducer module.
The individual modules of the sender/receiver unit are firmly interconnected at the factory
to comply with the ex protection and thus form a unit which cannot be disassembled.

Sender/receiver unit versions

● Non-retractable sender/receiver units
Cannot be installed or removed while the plant is in operation.
● Retractable sender/receiver units
Can be installed or removed while the plant is in operation. Installation on the pipeline is
performed with nozzle and ball valve (→ pg. 112, § 3.6.2).
Option: Venting ball valve for sender/receiver unit
Retractable sender/receiver units can be delivered with optional "venting valve" equipment
(ball valve) at the retraction flange.
● The venting ball valve must be installed by the manufacturer. Installation outside the
factory is not possible.
● The connection for the venting valve is closed with a blind screw by the factory.
WARNING: Danger of leakage

 Do not remove the blind screw at the connection for the venting valve!
WARNING: Danger in case of incorrect use

Retractable sender/receiver units without optional venting may only be used
for non-hazardous gases (not aggressive/toxic/explosive, low temperatures) or
otherwise only when the plant operator takes suitable protective measures and
safety precautions for safe venting.
 Venting is only permitted if the process ball valve of the system is closed
tightly!
Option: Connection for condensation drain at sender/receiver unit

Optional connection for condensation drain can be used under consideration of following
restrictions only:
● Drain only over closed drain system. Drain system (piping etc.) is not included as part of
delivery SICK.
● Drain system must be designed considering the process conditions (pressure,
temperature, gas composition).
All relevant safety regulations, standards and guidelines must be considered when using
the condensation drain. The use of the condensation drain is the sole responsibility of the
plant operator.

Product Description
Suitability of materials for probe with transducer and seal
NOTICE:
● "The suitability rating for sealing materials and transducer/probe materials
given in the tables below refer to the specifications of the material manu-
facturer at room temperature. Finally the suitability of sealing material and
transducer/probe material must be checked by the user considering the
overall application conditions. Stainless steel configurations are suitable for
non-aggressive and dry gas only.
● "Since the retraction flange is outside the pipeline behind ball valve and is
not directly flowed through by the medium, it can be assumed that, as a
result of the temperature drop, the permitted temperature limit for the seals
are not exceeded when the temperature of the media is between min -196
°C and max +280 °C (temperature range of standard/high/low tempera-
ture version have to be considered).

2.2.6 Meter body option (spoolpiece)

The FLOWSIC100 Flare can also be fitted with an optional spoolpiece to reduce geometric
uncertainty of device installation and to simplify assembly. The exact design (nominal
diameter, connection, material) always depends on the customer specifications.
The installation length of the spoolpiece depends on the nominal diameter of the pipe:
– Installation length 800 mm for pipe diameter up to 28”
– Installation length 1100 mm for pipe diameter 30” ... 60”
– Installation length for pipe diameter >60‘‘...72‘‘ on request
System solutions (FLOWSIC100 Flare + spoolpiece) are available as options with pressure
and temperature transmitters. For the positioning of pressure and temperature
transmitters the following configurations are available:
– Spoolpiece, standard length with integrated pressure tapping, temperature sensor 3D
downstream (customer pipeline)

Product Description
2.3 Computations
2.3.1 Calculation and calibration of volume flow

Volume flow in operating state
Generally, the devices of the FLOWSIC100 Flare family are used to determine the volume
flow in closed pipelines. The volume flow Qac is defined by the representative cross-
sectional area A and the mean gas velocity vA with respect to cross-section (area velocity):
Q ac = vA • A
FLOWSIC100 Flare, however, determines the representative average value of the flow
velocity on a sound path v (path velocity) between the two sender/receiver units. The sound
path is to be placed centrally above the cross-section of the pipeline.
Since the average values of path and area velocity are not identical, especially for small
pipe diameters, a functional, systematic relation between the determined path velocity v
and the average area velocity v A was introduced.
vA
k = f ( Re ) = ------------ 0.9 < k < 1 (Re = Reynolds‘ number)
v Path
This functional relation is implemented by a calibrating function in the FLOWSIC100 Flare.

The coefficients of this function are determined at factory through comparison
measurement on a test bench and regression analysis, and stored in the MCUP control
unit. The coefficients for various nominal pipe diameters are activated during start-up.
The coefficients can be specified and entered into the measuring system by an
optional flow calibration, and the measuring precision thereby improved even
further.
Calculation of volume flow in the standard state

The volume flow can be converted as follows to the standard state:
p pipe • T normal 1
Q sc = Q ac •  ------------------------------------- • ---
 p normal • T pipe κ
Q ac: Volume flow in actual state

Q sc: Volume flow in standard state
ppipe: Absolute pipeline pressure; usually entered as constant/default value typical
for the equipment.
If an optional analog module is used as an analog input for connection of a
separate pressure transducer, the volume flow can be normalized with
current plant values.
pnormal: 1013 mbar
Tpipe: Gas temperature (in K): In FLOWSIC100 Flare, a choice can be made here
whether to use a substitute constant temperature determined with ultrasonic
measurement or the substitute temperature read in via the optional analog
input (to increase precision).
Tnormal: Standard temperature. In Europe 273 K, in the USA 293 K
κ: Compressibility (=1 for ideal gases); can be configured as a constant

Product Description
2.3.2 Mass flow and molecular weight determination

The mass flow of the gas is computed from flow speed and sound velocity, pressure and
further measured variables.
The molecular weight of the gas is computed from sound velocity and further measured
variables.
The operating software uses three different algorithms to calculate mass flow and
molecular weight:
a) Basic algorithm:
Uses a constant value for substance-dependent coefficient κ (adiabatic coefficient).
b) Hydrocarbon algorithm:
Determines κ according to the function relation to the standard sound velocity.
Standard algorithm of FLOWSIC100 Flare for flaregas applications.
c) Algorithm MR-113:
Determines κ under consideration of the actual gas composition for hydrocarbon mix-
ture.

temperature transmitters.

Product Description
2.3.4 Response time

The response time is the time the measuring device requires to attain 90% of the end value
after an abrupt change of the measured value (→ Fig. 29). Typical values are 60 to 90 s.
The response time is freely adjustable in the range 1...600 s. A higher response time
causes higher damping of short-term measured value fluctuations and interference and
thus a "smoothed" output signal.
Separate response times exist for the measurement of gas velocity and gas temperature.
Volume flow and gas velocity have the same response time.

The response time must be understood as a guide value only. If the signal
quality of the ultrasonic pulses is low, FLOWSIC100 Flare requires more
measured values for an output signal of the same precision. This increases
the response time within certain limits as compared with the set time.

Product Description
2. 4 Check cycle
The FLOWSIC100 Flare is equipped with an integrated check cycle for automatic functional
check of all device components. This check cycle is an approved tool for periodic device
inspection according to valid regulations of Continuous Emission Monitoring.
The check cycle can be triggered time-controlled (setting of interval time by means of an
operating program) and/or manually via the digital input (→ pg. 59, § 2.2.4). Any deviations
from normal behavior that may occur are signaled as warnings or errors.
A check cycle initiated manually can help to localize possible error causes should a device
malfunction or a warning occur (see Service Manual).
The check cycle comprises zero point control and span test. The control values can be
output via the analog output. The sequence of a check cycle is indicated by the status
output on the corresponding relay and, if the Display module option is available,
simultaneously on the display by the clear text message "Check cycle".
● If the check cycle is not output on the analog output, the last measured
value is output for the duration the check cycle duration (approx. 20 s in an
error-free sequence).
● For initiation of zero point control and span test as well as a check cycle via
the digital input, a contact at the respective terminals must be closed for at
least 2 s.
● Time-controlled check cycles start periodically according to parameter set-
ting of the desired time interval at the entered time until the time interval is
changed (or a reset is performed). If a reset is made (or there is an operat-
ing voltage failure), the check cycle starts at the time the device is put into
operation again at the set time.
● If a time-controlled check cycle and a check cycle initiated by digital con-
tacts overlap, only the check cycle initiated first becomes effective.
2.4.1 Zero point control

With a special circuit configuration in the sender/receiver units, the send-signals of the
transducers can be read back without delay and in their original form. These send-signals
are received, demodulated and computed as receive-signals. If the device functions
correctly, the exact zero point must be calculated here. This control comprises the complete
check of all system components including the transducers. For deviations of more than
approx. 0.25 m/s (depending on active measuring path and gas temperature), a warning is
output. Transducers and electronics must be checked in this case. If signal amplitude or
form does not match the expected values, transducers or electronics are defective and an
error message is output.

Product Description
2.4.2 Span test

For the electronic zero check, a time difference from both transfer directions is determined
and computed with the air temperature, active measuring path and sound velocity
installation parameters into a velocity offset at the zero point. This offset is then added to
the selected span value and output. The span value can be set with the SOPAS ET operating
program in the range from 50 to 70% in steps of 1% (standard setting ex factory 70%). If all
system components are intact, the entire measuring system reacts as intended.
2.4.3 Analog output of check cycle

The check cycle‘s output is as follows:
● 90 s zero value (live zero)
● 90 s span value
● The output duration of 90 s each time is the standard setting ex factory. It

can be changed in the SOPAS ET program.
● The output is suitable for velocity-dependent measured values only (gas
velocity, volume flow act., volume flow std.).

3.1.1 Determining the measuring and installation location

Measuring precision is influenced, among other things, by flow behavior and the position of
the measuring axis. Large cross-section variations, curved pipes, fittings, air flaps or inlets
can cause profile deformations or turbulences with a negative effect on the measuring
result.

3.1.1.1 General requirements

Criteria Requirements
Flow Position with essentially homogenous gas flow
behaviour Balanced, uniform profiles are most likely to be expected for long inlet and outlet paths
Pipeline Whenever possible, no deflections, cross-section variations, curves, feed and drain lines, flaps or
design fittings in the area of the inlet and outlet paths
Isometric conditions at measuring point are most important for determining the required upstream
and downstream piping and should be investigated carefully.
● Uncritical flow inlet conditions requires straight upstream piping > 10 x Di and downstream
piping > 5x Di. Manufacturer SICK offers expertise support for an optimal adjustment of the
meter for the given inlet and outlet piping conditions.
● More complex inlet disturbances require longer pipings up to 20 Di/10 Di.
Inlet and ● If the 2-path configuration is used, the needed minimum inlet and outlet sections can be further

Pipelines with vertical, horizontal or inclined direction
Installation free of vibrations, acceleration < 1 g
Largest possible distance to control valves or other noisy fixtures
Installation location With electrical connections and lighting

Easy and safe access for installation and maintenance work of the sender/receiver units
Platform secured by a railing to prevent accidents if necessary
Working platform Sufficient clearance to fit/remove the sender/receiver units
● Maximum wall thickness 15 mm, maximum insulation thickness 100 mm.
Larger wall and insulation thicknesses require customer-specific solutions (available on request
only).
Wall and insulation ● Minimum wall thickness depends on pressure, temperature, pipe size and static/dynamic load
thickness at the measurement location (contact SICK for support).
Nozzles may only be isolated if the gas temperature is < 100 °C.

Follow specifications for new equipment; select best possible location for
existing equipment.
Contact SICK for optimal installation of the FLOWSIC100 Flare.
NOTICE:
The plant operator is responsible for observing the valid Accident Prevention
and Industrial Safety Regulations.
3.1.1.2 Additional requirements for meter body option (spool piece)
Criteria Requirements
● Same nominal size of adjacent pipes and meter body
● Differences of internal diameters of inlet pipe and meter body < 1%.
Pipeline design ● No welding beads and burs on the flanges of the inlet pipe
Pipelines with horizontal or vertical direction
● Horizontal installation:
The meter body shall be aligned so that the planes formed by the measuring paths are in a horizontal
position. This minimizes the problem of dirt in the pipeline entering the transducer ports.
● Vertical installation:
Installation Only possible if the measuring system is used for dry, non-condensing gases.
Gas flow Free from any foreign material, dust and liquids. Otherwise, filters and traps shall be used.
Seals between meter Must not protrude into the pipeline. Any protrusion into the flowing gas stream may change the flow
body and pipeline profile and thus the measuring accuracy may be adversely affected.
Connection at the pressure tap provided with ⅛”, ¼”or ½” NPT (female) port, depending on meter size
Pressure transmitter and customer demand.
Fastening and sealing Bolts, nuts and flange seals used must be suited to the operational conditions and comply with legal
material regulations and relevant standards.

3.1.2 Further notes for project planning

Applications with specific conditions or installation in vertical pipelines
a) Applications with wet gas
Condensate can accumulate in the nozzle pipes. The following solutions can help to pre-
vent measurement problems (malfunctions caused by solid-borne noise, see Service
Manual), or damages when removing the sender/receiver unit (condensate runs out).
 Use a nozzle position which prevents accumulations of condensates in nozzle pipes.
 Use a closed continuous or periodical condensate drain with backflow to the pipe-
line. Technical solutions are available on request depending on operating conditions
(pressure, temperature).
Installation of condensate drains always requires the approval of the

plant operator.
 Isolate the nozzle pipe to reduce dew point underruns (only for low gas temperatures
< 100 °C).
b) Short inlet and outlet paths (→ pg. 77, Fig. 30)
 Use the best possible positioning for the measurement path (consult SICK for sup-
port).
c) Vertical ducts with flow direction from top to bottom
The measured value gets a negative sign (output LC display).
 Set a negative linear regression coefficient (→ pg. 197, § 4.3.7) to change it.
Installation location for external pressure and temperature transmitters (option)
Pressure tappings and thermowells for external transmitters have to be installed in the
following way:
● Pressure tapping:direct at measurement point, on top side of pipeline
● Thermowell:downstream with distance 3D (measured from the middle of the measuring
path), on top of pipeline

3.2.2 Special notes for handling the meter body option

Transport and storage
 Secure for all transport and storage operations that:
– the meter body is firmly secured at all times
– measures are taken to avoid mechanical damage
– ambient conditions are within the specified limits (→ pg. 210, § 6.1).
 Protect sealing surfaces of the flanges and the interior of the meter body if it must be
stored outside for more than one day, e.g. with Anticorit spray (not required for meter
bodies from stainless steel). Do the same if the meter must be stored in dry condition,
but for more than a week.
Lifting requirements

WARNING: Danger due to size and mass of the meter body

 Only use lifting gear and load handling equipment (e.g. lifting straps) which
are suitable for the weight to be lifted. Max. load information can be found
on the type plate of the lifting gear.
 Only use the eye bolts when lifting the meter body.

3. 3 Assembly
Carry out all assembly work on-site. This includes:
 Fitting the nozzle
 Installing ball valves on retractable versions
 Installing the meter body (option)
 Installing the control unit.
 Installing the sun roof.
WARNING:
 Observe the relevant safety regulations as well as the safety notices in
Section 1 during all assembly work.
 Carry out assembly work on equipment with hazard potential (hot or
aggressive gases, higher internal pipeline pressure) only when the
equipment is at a standstill.
Fitting when the equipment is running is only possible using the "hot
tapping method". Such work may only be carried out by a specialized
contractor authorized by the plant operator (→ pg. 19, § 1.4).
 Take suitable protection measures against possible local hazards or
hazards arising from the plant.
WARNING: Mechanical burden

The static load moment of all parts to be installed at the pipe can be up to
approx. 600 Nm (retractable device types). Strong pipe vibrations can cause
damages and can lead to dangerous situations.
 Use a mechanical support for the nozzles welded to the pipeline, e.g.
"gusset plates".

Fig. 34 Option mechanical support for nozzle "gusset plates"

NOTICE:
The plant operator is responsible for the safety of the system under mechanical
burden.

3.3.1 Fitting the nozzles on the pipeline (measuring systems without meter body)
The nozzles are manufactured precisely at the factory according to customer specifications
for fitting on the pipeline.
NOTICE:
The exact positioning of the nozzles is prerequisite for low measuring
uncertainty.
Maximum tolerances for nozzle positions and fitting angle of the nozzles:
– Maximum tolerance ± 1 mm / ± 1 °
– Tolerance for best uncertainty results ± 0.1 mm / 0.1 °
Notes for installations in existing pipelines (hot tapping)

● For calculation of the precise inner diameter of the pipeline the wall thickness have to
be determined very exactly. Schedule information alone is not sufficient.
● All exact geometric dimensions for fitting the nozzles in the pipeline (see following
instructions) have to be documented during nozzle installation. At commissioning of the
FLOWSIC100 Flare the geometric dimensions from the nozzle installation are needed
for correct parameterization of the device.
3.3.1.1 Determining the nozzle positions and marking on the pipeline
General preparation work
The installation tool (→ pg. 58, § 2.2.3) contains a foil strip (length approx. 4 times the pipe
diameter, width approx. 0.75 of the pipe diameter) as a resource to determine the exact
position of the nozzle on the pipeline. The foil strip is prepared with nozzle markings for
different pipe diameters.

3.3.1.2 Weld on nozzles for non-retractable sender/receiver units

Use the installation tool that corresponds to the nozzle to be welded on the pipeline to carry
out the following work.
WARNING: Hazards due to combustible gases or high pressure

Depressurize the pipe line and make free of flammable gases before starting
any operation.
WARNING: Risk of explosion/health hazard

A faulty welding seam can allow gas to escape from the pipeline. This can
immediately lead to a dangerous situation.
 Ensure welding seams are gas-tight.
 Check strength and durable tightness of the welding seams.
NOTICE:
Welding work may only be carried out by qualified personnel acc. to qualified
and approved procedures. Inspections of the welded seam regarding
correctness and pressure tightness of the design need to be made. The
general safety requirements of relevant regulations, general standards and
guidelines as well as plant operator instructions concerning execution and
inspections of welding must be observed.
Work steps

lines must not be more than 0.5 mm. Otherwise reposition the welding aid.
 Screw in threaded rod (3) with the sharp tip in the welding aid.
NOTICE:
The threaded rod is fitted by the manufacturer with a clamp ring. This is to aid
removal of the centering plate following installation of the nozzles. The clamp
ring should therefore not be removed.
 Slide centering plate (4) on the cone of the welding aid (1) and fasten with the nut (5).
 Slide nozzle (6) over threaded rod and centering plate.
 Place the centering (7) into the nozzle opening so that the marking on the centering cor-
responds to the nozzle type (ANSI or DIN, size).
 Screw counternuts (8), (9) onto the threaded rod and secure the nozzle at a distance of
approx. 2 mm to the pipeline surface (use uncoated wire).
 Align the nozzle so that the marking lines on nozzle and pipe wall are flush and tighten
enough so that the nozzle is pressed against uncoated wire and pipeline surface. Make
sure the nozzle remains aligned correctly.

 Weld the nozzle to the pipeline (seam length approx. 15 mm). Wait at least 1 minute
after each welding to allow the seam to cool down before welding the next point.
 Remove uncoated wire.
 Remove threaded rod with nuts and centering by turning the counternut (8) against fas-
tening direction. The centering plate will be removed by the clamp ring.
 Finish off each weld seam and allow sufficient time for cooling down to avoid unneces-
sary strain on the nozzle and pipe wall.
 On FLOWSIC100 Flare cross-duct versions (FLSE100-EX and FLSE100-EXS) and after
sufficient time for cooling down, determine distance D1 between outer pipe wall and
centering.

 On cross-duct versions, weld the nozzle on the opposite pipeline side in the same man-
ner and then determine distance D2.

3.3.1.3 Weld on nozzles for retractable sender/receiver units and drill out the pipeline
Weld on the nozzles for retractable sender/receiver units in the same manner as described
previously for non-retractable sender/receiver units and determine the distances D1 and
D2 for cross-duct versions.
For use of retractable sender/receiver units ball valves have to be installed. Ball valves are
installed after finishing nozzle welding. Check and ensure gas tightness of ball valve
installation before you continue.
WARNING: Hazards through leaks!

 Operation in leaky condition is not allowed and possibly dangerous.
 Danger by explosive, toxic and hot gas!
NOTICE:
● Any welding and installation work on pipelines may only be carried out by
authorized personnel with a specific qualification.
● Special qualified and approved procedures have to be followed. This proce-
dure requires the written agreement by the plant operator (→ pg. 11, § 1.2.1).
● Inspection of welded seams and all other installation regarding correctness
and pressure tightness need to be made. The general safety requirements
and all other plant operator instructions have to be followed (see notice
→ pg. 91, § 3.3.1.2).
Drilling holes into the pipeline if plant is out of operation

The pipe wall must be drilled out at the nozzle position so that the sender/receiver unit can
be inserted into the pipeline (→ pg. 86, § 3.3.1).
● Only once on each nozzle.
● Have this work done by skilled persons specially qualified for this work.
Drilling holes into the pipeline if plant is in operation (hot tap)
● Only once on each nozzle.
● This work requires special tools (e.g. special drilling tool) and special technical
knowledge.
● The hole cutter diameter must be 46 ... 48 mm for 2“ nozzles and 73 ... 75 mm for 3”
nozzles.
● Mount the drilling tool on the ball valve. Check for installation. Open the ball valve and
drill out the holes in the pipeline in the centre of the nozzle position.
● Retract the drilling tool. Dismount drilling tool after ball valve is closed again.
● Mount a blind flange on the ball valve as long as no sender/receiver unit is installed.
WARNING: Hazards during hot tapping!
When sender/receiver units are installed on the pipeline when the pipeline is in
operation (hot tapping):
 Only have this work done by skilled persons qualified for hot tapping.
 Comply with all legal, general and company-internal regulations.
 Only start installation work when all planned measures have been checked
and approved by the plant operator.

CAUTION: Accident risk

When the hole is ready:
Gas flows through the pipeline when the ball valve is opened.
 Keep the ball valve closed and fitted until a sender/receiver unit has been
fitted.
 Secure the ball valve against unintentional activation.
 Instruct other persons accordingly.
WARNING: Accident risk

As long as a sender/receiver unit is not installed:
Gas flows through the pipeline when the ball valve is opened.
▸ Keep the ball valve closed and fitted until a sender/receiver unit has been fit-
ted.
▸ Secure the ball valve against unintentional activation.
▸ Instruct other persons accordingly.

3.3.1.4 Determine path angle and path length

Exact values for path angle and length must calculated using the geometric data to keep
measuring inaccuracy as low as possible (→ Fig. 43, → pg. 97, Fig. 44). Enter these values in
the device as parameters during start-up → pg. 167, § 4.2.2(.).

Use a suitable protractor to determine and register the actual value. The manufacturer
measures the path length for each probe and includes this in the Zero Point protocol in the
delivery documents.

3.3.2 Installing the meter body (option) in the pipeline

The meter body shall be installed in the pipeline in a way that the arrow marking on it
corresponds to the flow direction. The flow will be output from the measuring system as a
positive value if the sender/receiver units master and slave for cross-duct versions are
mounted according to → pg. 24, Fig. 2.
WARNING: Danger due to size and mass of the meter body

The lifting eyes are designed for transporting the meter only. Flange sealing
surfaces, nozzles and blank flanges may be damaged when the lifting gear is
not attached properly.
 Do not lift the FLOWSIC100 Flare using these eyes when additional loads
(such as blank flanges, filling for pressure tests or piping) are attached
(→ pg. 83, Fig. 33).
 If lifting straps are used, wrap them around the meter body.
 The FLOWSIC100 Flare must not turn over or start to swing while being
transported.
 Take suitable measures to prevent damage to the meter when carrying out
any other work (welding, painting) near the FLOWSIC100 Flare.
Required installation work

 Position the FLOWSIC100 Flare at the desired section of the pipeline using the lifting
gear.
 Check for correct seating and alignment of the flange gasket after installing the flange
bolts, but prior to tightening.
 Align the meter body of the FLOWSIC100 Flare such that the offsets between inlet pipe,
meter body and outlet pipe are minimized.
 Insert the remaining fastening bolts and tighten the nuts cross-wise. The tightening
torque applied must not be lower than specified in the project planning.
 Mount the pressure sensing line between pressure tap (option) and pressure transmit-
ter (option).
 Fill the pipeline and check the installed FLOWSIC100 Flare with meter body and piping
connections for leaks.
We recommend performing a leak test in accordance with the relevant

regulations and standards after completion of the mechanical installation.
For achieving full measuring range and specified accuracies adhere to the geometric
tolerances listed in → pg. 86, § 3.3.1.
For applications with highest requirements regarding accuracy and measuring range, the
meter body may also be delivered by SICK. The manufacturing tolerances are then
guaranteed.

The internal diameter Di of the pipeline is required for further configuration of the
geometric data (→ pg. 167, § 4.2.2). It can be calculated as follows:
U U = Pipeline circumference at assembly location

Di = ---- – 2 • W W= Wall thickness
π
We recommend determining the wall thickness by measurement and averaging at 4

positions around the pipe. Suitable ultrasonic measurement techniques can be used for
this.
The wall thickness data according to ANSI table can deviate from the actual
wall thickness by up to 13%.
3.3.3 Installing the MCUP control unit

3.3.3.1 Version without explosion protection and version for Ex zone 2
Install the control unit in a protected location that is easily accessible. Observe the
following points during fitting:
● Maintain the ambient temperature according to the Technical Data; take possible
radiant heat into consideration (shield if necessary).
● Protect against direct sunlight.
● Whenever possible, choose an assembly location with minimum vibrations; dampen any
vibrations if necessary.
● Leave enough clearance for cables and opening the door.
● Select an installation location free of chemical influence (esp. for use in ex zone 2).
WARNING:
Exposure to some chemicals may degrade the sealing properties of
materials used in the following devices:
● Relay (sealed device) type AZ830-2C-12DSE and AZ832-2C-12DSE
(manufactured by ZETTLER) assembled on the processor board of the
MCU
● Relay (sealed device) type V23092-B1024-A301 (manufactured by
SCHRACK) or type FTR-LYRA024Y (manufactured by FUJITSU), assem-
bled in the optional digital output module (SICK part no. 2034659)
Used enclosure material (white plastic [glass fiber reinforced PBT]) and encapsulating
material (black or white epoxy resin) may degrade particularly in the presence of hydro-
carbons and hydrogen sulfide among others.
Extremely ambient temperatures as well as higher concentrations of the
chemicals may expedite the degradation.
 Use long connection cables between the MCUP and the sender/receiver
units to install the MCUP in a location with safe conditions.
Named components must be inspected periodically (details → pg. 206, § 5.3).
Using suitable cables, the MCUP control unit can be located up to 1000 m away from the
sender/receiver units. We therefore recommend fitting the MCUP in a control room
(measuring station or similar) to ensure free access to the MCUP. This considerably
simplifies communication with FLOWSIC100 Flare in order to set parameters or to locate
malfunction or error causes.
It is advantageous to provide weather protection (tin roof or similar), made on-site, for use
outdoors.

3.6 General notes for installation of sender/receiver units

WARNING:
● Observe and follow the valid regulations and safety regulations as well as
the safety notices in Section 1.
● Take special precautions for use in plants with increased hazard potential
(toxic/aggressive/explosive gases, higher pressure, higher temperature)
(risk or serious injuries).
● Use suitable protection measures against possible local hazards or hazards
arising from the equipment.
● Observe the permitted operating parameters according to the Figures in
→ pg. 31, § 2.2.1 during all work.
Check the following before installing:
● Sender/receiver units to be fitted for a particular measuring point must belong to the
same system to ensure the maximum measuring precision possible. Exchanging struc-
turally identical sender/receiver units from different measuring systems is not recom-
mended.
Sender/receiver units can only be exchanged against identical units.
In this case specific probe parameters must be set using the SOPAS ET
program (see Service Manual).
● Sender/receiver units from one system are marked with sequential serial numbers
(printed on the device label). The FLSE100 Master always has the lower number and the
FLSE100 Slave the higher number.
● Sender/receiver units and nozzles must be compatible (→ pg. 54, § 2.2.2).
● Nozzles must be free from weld beads on the inside.
NOTICE:
The deformation characteristic of the flange gasket has an influence on the
geometry of the installation and therefore on the uncertainty of the
measurement. SICK recommends:
● Use the same type of gaskets as in original scope of supply only
● Apply a tightening torque of 165 Nm
WARNING:
Ball valve and sender/receiver unit do not function correctly following incorrect
installation. Both parts can be damaged. Serious injuries are possible.
For installation of seals see instructions of sealing manufacturer in → pg. 239,

§ 6.5.
WARNING: Hazards through leaks

Operation in leaky condition is not allowed and possibly dangerous.

3.8.3 Requirements for installation in the Ex zone

General requirements
WARNING: Explosion Hazard

 Do not open the enclosures while energized.
 Do not connect or disconnect the circuits unless power has been removed
or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
 When using alternative connection of devices not belonging to the system
(especially external power supply devices, power supply units, etc.), ensure
that the maximum voltage at the connections does not exceed 125 V even
if a fault occurs, and that every single cable core is protected separately
with a fuse of max. 1 A.
 Do not use the device if cables or terminals are damaged.
General
● The documentation for zone classification according to EN/IEC 60079-10 must be
available.
● The devices to be used must be checked for suitability for the application area.
● After installation, an initial test of the device and the plant according to EN/IEC 60079-
17 must be performed.
Cabling
● The cables must fulfill the requirements according to EN/IEC 60079-14.
● Cables which are especially endangered by thermal, mechanical or chemical stress,
must be protected, e.g. by laying in protective tubes.
● Cables must be flame retardant in accordance with DIN VDE 0472 Part 804 Type of
Inspection B / IEC 60332-1 must be demonstrated.
● The cross-section of each individual wire must not be smaller than 0.5 mm².
● Observe the clamping range of the cable glands for cable selection.
● Cables for Ex-e cable glands must comply with the requirements in EN 60079-14
Section 11.3.
● The existing clearance in air and creepage according to EN/IEC 60079-07 or EN/IEC
60079-15 may not be reduced by connection of the cables in the terminal compart-
ments.
● Ex-d cable gland must be suitable for the intended cable type (e.g. cables with or without
armoring).
● The cables and conductors for Ex-d cable terminals must comply with the requirements
in EN/IEC 60079-14, Section 10.4.2 b). The selection there must be made according to
Fig. 1.
– If the explosive gas mixture requires an IIC installation and the installation area belongs
to zone 1, pressure-proof cable glands and bushings containing seals filled with potting
compound must be used for the individual wires, e.g. series 8163/1-PXSS2K for normal,
not armored offshore and onshore cables or series 8163/1-PX2K for various armored
offshore and onshore cables, both from R.STAHL GmbH. Potting is done on-site. Observe
the manufacturer's description.
– If the explosive gas mixture requires only an IIB or IIA installation or the installation area
belongs to zone 2, suitable pressure-proof cable glands and bushings with a sealing ring
can also be used, if the cable is suitable for that.
● Protect the wire ends with connector sleeves against fraying.
● Replace unused cable glands with the enclosed Exe or Ex-d sealing plugs.
● Connect or safeguard unused wires to ground so that a short circuit is excluded with
other conductive parts.
● Carry out potential equalization according to EN/IEC 60079-14 (see also the following
Section).
● "Conduit" systems must comply with the requirements in EN/IEC 60079-14, Section
9.4 and 9.6. In addition, compliance with national and other relevant standards is
required.
● "Conduits" according to IEC 60614-2-1 or IEC 60614-2-5 are not suitable.
● "Conduit" systems must be protected against vibration.
● Use thread sealant according to EN/IEC 60079-14, Section 9.4 for threads with ½" NPT.
The following applies additionally for the FLSE100-EXS intrinsically safe cable connection to
intrinsically safe ultrasonic transducers/probe:
● The device marking must at least include the information Ex [ib] or Ex [ia].
● Use only cables delivered by SICK.
The connections of the intrinsically safe ultrasonic probes are designed so that the individ-
ual circuits are safely separated from other intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe cir-
cuits.
If the transducer circuits are disconnected while energizing, it still must be observed that the
safe separation from other intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits is not overrid-
den and thus intrinsic safety endangered. For this reason, the associated connection cable
should be disconnected at both ends, i.e. unplugged individually and successively, first from
the electronics and then, if required, from the ultrasonic probes, or suitably attached to pre-
vent uncontrolled movement of the cable with the unprotected, open cable connector. The
cables for the intrinsically safe components are marked either with ”Exi” or a blue cable cov-
ering or with blue shrink sleeves on the cable ends or with the SICK item number, at least on
the associated packaging. The technical safety data are shown in the Type Examination Cer-
tificate.
● Operation of the FLSE100-EXS with sensors not belonging to the system and compo-
nents and sensors from other manufacturers is not permitted. See the Type
Examination Certificate for the technical safety data. See the relevant list in these
Operating Instructions for the sensors which may be used with the FLSE100-EXS.

Screen connection of control unit MCUP ATEX zone 1

In a limited number of MCUP ATEX zone 1 units shipped, the shield terminal strip is
electrically isolated from the housing. In this case the shield terminal strip is mounted on
plastic spacers and has no electrical connection to the housing. If in doubt, the isolation
can be checked by a electrical continuity test.
At affected devices the screen of the connection cable between sender/receiver unit and
MCUP can be grounded at MCUP ATEX zone 1 in two ways:
1 Make connection of cable screen at spring-type terminal (1) in the MCUP terminal box.
Connect spring-type terminal strip (1) with PE (2) of the MCUP.
2 Make connection of cable screen at spring-type terminal (1) in the MCUP terminal box.
Connect spring-type terminal strip with external PE at site.

3.8.6.1 Setting the bus address at sender/receiver unit (bus systems only)
On bus systems (e.g. 2x1-path connected to one MCUP), the required bus address of a
sender/receiver unit (master only) have to be assigned by the software. In delivery
condition the bus address for every sender/receiver unit is set by hardware to address "0".
Hardware addressing is read in with the start of the SOPAS ET program and cannot be
changed at site.
NOTICE:
● After a possibly required change of addressing, the respective sender/
receiver units must be started a new (disconnect and reconnect supply volt-
age). The output assignments in the MCUP then have to be reconfigured
(see section 4.2).
● The sender/receiver units must have different addresses. Identical
addresses of several units cause the aborting of the communication with
the MCUP!
3.8.6.2 Software addressing at sender/receiver units

As standard, the address have to be assigned using the SOPAS ET program. The prereq-
uisite for this addressing is that hardware address 0 is set (delivery condition). To change it,
do the following:
 Connect the measuring system to a PC/laptop, start the SOPAS ET program and make-
contact with the device (see section 4.1.3).
 Select the sensor type (e.g. "FL100 EX-S") in the "Scan result" tab and move to the "Proj-
ect" window.
 In the "Login" menu, select the "Service" user level and enter password "service"
 Set the measuring system to the "Maintenance" mode
 Select the menu "Configuration/Device Parameters" and choose the field "serial inter-
face", set the bus address.
WARNING:
No other parameters or settings may be changed while logged into access level
2 - "Service", except for those described in this section. All other changes to
settings may only be carried out using the access levels 0 - "Operator" or 1 -
"Authorized client". The manufacturer is not liable for any disruption caused by
incorrect settings made by the user in SOPAS.

4 Start-up and Parameter Settings
Basics
Standard start-up
Advanced start-up
Operating/setting parameters via the optional LC-Display
4. 1 Basics
4.1.1 General information

Start-up primarily comprises entering equipment data (e.g. measuring path, installation
angle), parameter settings for output variables and reaction times and, if required, the
check cycle setting (→ pg. 167, § 4.2.2). A zero adjust is not necessary.
An additional velocity measurement flow calibration in the final end user application using
e. g. network point measurement with a reference measuring system (e.g. dynamic
pressure probe) is necessary only when the velocity profile on the measuring axis is not
representative for the overall cross-section. The regression coefficients determined can
then be entered into the device without problems (→ pg. 197, § 4.3.7).
The SOPAS Engineering Tool (SOPAS ET) program is included and serves to set the
parameters. The Menu structure simplifies changing settings. Further functions are also
available (e.g. data storage, graphic displays).
If stable measuring behavior over all equipment states cannot be attained using standard
settings (e.g. during device usage at the limits or outside of the specification according to
the Technical Data), improvement is possible by optimizing internal device parameters.
The required settings may only be made by sufficiently qualified persons due to incorrect
settings meaning that the device functionality is no longer ensured. This work should only
be carried out by SICK Service. Possible settings are described in the Service Manual.
We recommend to use the SICK Commissioning check list (→ pg. 239, § 6.5) for
easy parameter setting.
4.1.2 Installing the operating and parameter program SOPAS ET

4.2.3.1 Configuration of SOPAS ET for 10" pipelines

10" pipelines require the following configuration of the linearization parameters. Proceed
as follows:
 Open the "Measuring Point Parameter" page and enter:
– Nominal diameter "DN250 / 10 inch"
– Sensor type "Cross duct"
Fig. 105 Setting the measuring point parameter
The MCUP will activate the linearization parameter for this selection. SOPAS ET must then
synchronize the parameter from the MCUP. To initiate this, perform the following steps:
 Select menu "Communication"/"Offline"
 Open the "Measuring Point Parameter" again, and then change back to "online". SOPAS
ET will then synchronize the MCUP.
To complete the configuration:
 Open the "Linearization parameter" page.
 Change parameter cc0 to -223.085 and parameter cc1 to 168.508.
 Press Enter.
4.2.3.2 Configuration of application-specific parameters for 2-path configuration

The 2-path configuration consists of two parallel measurement paths across the secants of
the pipeline, significantly reducing the dependency on Reynolds number. Three different
types of 2-path configurations are available:
● Uncalibrated 2-path configuration
● Dry calibrated 2-path configuration
● Flow calibrated 2-path configuration
For uncalibrated and dry calibrated 2-path configuration

To account for different flow profile shapes for different flow rates, the settings for
"Excentric Calibration Factor" and "Adjust factor" are set as shown in Table 7 and → Fig. 107.
Those values are automatically set when 2-path measurement is selected in SOPAS menu
"MCU-P Parameter/System Configuration" (see → Fig. 106).
The "Linearization Parameter" settings must be set manually in SOPAS menu "MCU-P
Parameter / Measuring Point 1 / Measuring Point Parameter" as shown in Table 7 and
→ Fig. 107.
Table 7 Parameter settings
Linearization Parameter
CC0 0
CC1 0

Adjust Factor 1.000
In previous firmware versions of the MCUP, the "AdjustFactor" and "Excentric

Calibration Factor" setting differed from the description above. If you are
unsure how to proceed, please contact your local SICK support.
For flow calibrated 2-path configurations

The parameters are individually set by SICK during production of the meter after flow
calibration (incl. individual spool piece and transducers).
Be careful to not change these parameters, since the individual flow calibration may be
affected.

Data can be saved in the following ways:
● Saving as a project
Data recordings can also be stored separately from device parameters.
● Saving as a device file
Stored parameters can be edited without a connected device and transferred back to
the device at a later time.
See the Service Manual for a description.
● Saving as a protocol
Device data and parameters are registered in the Parameter protocol.
A Diagnosis protocol can be created for analysis of the device function and recognition
of possible malfunctions.

Maintenance
5.1 General
Maintenance strategy
The FLOWSIC100 Flare requires scheduled maintenance just like every electronic
measuring system. Regular checks and preventive consumable parts replacement can
lengthen the service life considerably and have a decisive influence on measurement
reliability.
Due to the measuring principle and system design, the FLOWSIC100 Flare only requires a
low maintenance effort despite the customary rugged field usage.
Maintenance work
The work to be carried out is limited to cleaning the sender/receiver units.
Switch the FLOWSIC100 Flare to "Maintenance" mode before starting any maintenance
work. This can be done using an external maintenance switch (connected to digital input
1), using the SOPAS ET operating and parameter program or via the LC-Display option
(→ pg. 198, § 4.4).
Switch back to "Operation" after completing maintenance work.
Maintenance intervals
The maintenance interval depends on specific application parameters such as mode of
operation, gas composition, gas temperature and moisture as well as the ambient
conditions. Typical values are approx. 6 months up to 1 year. Shorter maintenance intervals
may be necessary under unfavorable conditions.
The plant operator must specify the specific work to be carried out and its performance in a
Maintenance Manual.
Maintenance contract
Scheduled maintenance work can be carried out by the plant operator. Only qualified
personnel according to Section 1 should be allowed to do the work. If desired, SICK Service
or authorized Service support centers can carry out all maintenance work. Any repairs will
be made by specialists on-site whenever possible.
5.2 Recognizing malfunctions

Every deviation from normal operation is to be regarded as a serious indication of a
functional impairment. These are, amongst others:
● Warning displays (e.g. heavy contamination)
● Large drifts in measured results
● Increased power input
● Higher temperatures of system parts
● Monitoring device triggering
● Smells or smoke emission
● Failure of a measuring path
NOTICE:
Proceed as follows when a measuring path fails:
 Pull back the sender/receiver units and disconnect them from the process
by closing the ball valve.
 Inform SICK Customer Service.
Maintenance
5. 3 Maintaining the sender/receiver units

The sender/receiver units must be cleaned in regular intervals and checked for corrosion
and damage. To do this, the sender/receiver units must be dismounted from the nozzles.
WARNING:
Section 1 during all installation work (→ pg. 10, § 1.1 et seq.).
 Take suitable protection measures against possible hazards.
 Carry out maintenance work only when hot parts have cooled sufficiently.
Required tools and auxiliary means:

● Key for Allen screws SW 5
● Jaw wrench SW 24
● Screw driver
● Possibly blind plug for nozzle for non-retractable version
● Brush, cleaning cloth and cleaning alcohol
5.3.1 Removing sender/receiver units

Non-retractable sender/receiver units
WARNING:
 At plants with increased hazard potential (toxic, aggressive, explosive
gases, health endangering, higher pressure and temperatures), remove the
sender/receiver unit only when the plant is out of operation.
An amount of gas escapes uncontrolled into the environment during
disassembly of the sender/receiver unit from nozzle.
 Take special precautions in the presence of toxic, aggressive, explosive, hot,
or other gases posing a health risk (risk of serious injuries)!
 Loosen the screws on the flange of the sender/receiver unit.

 Carefully pull out the sender/receiver unit and place it in a suitable location.
 Close the nozzle with a blind plug (optionally available).
Retractable sender/receiver units
WARNING:
 Observe the maximum permitted pressure for operating the retraction
mechanism on retractable sender/receiver units:
– Device types FLSE100-EXS and EXRE: 16 bar at 50°C (→ pg. 42, Fig. 9)
– Device type FLSE100-EXPR: 0.5 bar at whole temperature range
 Close the ball valve after removing the sender/receiver unit with a blind
flange.
 Take special precautions in the presence of toxic, aggressive, explosive, hot,
or other gases posing a health risk (risk of serious injuries)!
Maintenance
In principle, the single steps described in § 3.6.2 are carried out in the reverse sequence
(→ pg. 114, Fig. 56).
 Loosen fastening nuts (7) and take cotter pins (7) out of guide rods (8).
 Hold the sender/receiver unit tight and pull it back slowly to stop.
 Close the 2" (FLSE100-EXS and EXRE) or 3" (FLSE100-EXPR) ball valve (5).
A small amount of gas remains in the retractable nozzle and can escape uncontrolled
into the environment during disassembly of the sender/receiver unit from the ball valve.
Controlled venting is possible when using retractable sender/receiver units
with the vent device option (ball valve). To do so, connect the ball valve with
a suitable hose that ends away from the measuring point.
WARNING:
 Take special precautions at toxic, aggressive, explosive, health
endangering and/or hot gases (risk or serious injuries) when using
retractable sender/receiver units without the vent device option.
 Screw fastening nuts (9) on and insert the cotter pins in the guide rods.
 Loosen fastening screws (3) and take the sender/receiver unit with seal (6) off the ball
valve 2" (or 3").
 Fit blind flange (2) and seal on the ball valve 2" (or 3") with fastening screws (1).
The delivered seal may only be used once. Replace it with a new one after every

Clean the outside of the sender/receiver unit after it has been removed. Inspect the duct
probe and transducers for signs of corrosion and replace them if necessary. Dust deposits
and caked dust can generally be removed without disassembling the transducer.
WARNING:
The transducer must be cleaned with extreme care. Do not damage the
transducer diaphragm!
Depending on the conditions at the installation site, the duct probe and
transducers may initially require maintenance more frequently (approx. every
2 weeks or less if necessary). If contamination is limited, the cleaning
intervals can be gradually extended to a maximum of 6 months.
Reinstall the sender/receiver unit after completion of the work.
The work required to replace parts (duct probe, transducers) is listed in the
FLOWSIC100 Flare Service Manual.
Maintenance
5. 4 Maintaining the MCUP for use zone 2

The relays in the optional relay modules must be inspected periodically. We recommend to
begin with short periods of time and to extend depending on the influence strength and the
inspection results.
To check the relays, open the enclosures of the modules carefully.
Suggestions of degradation can be:
● Discoloration
● Deformation
● Perforation
● Malfunction
● Overheating
● Other remarkable changes
In the event of any degradation of properties these parts must be replaced by the original
type. Replacement by complete processor boards or complete modules is recommended.
To prevent repetitive degradation the user shall clarify the causes and shall take
appropriate precautionary measures before restart the equipment.
