2. Note
Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit
into operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein.
The instruction manuals on our website www.kobold.com are always for currently
manufactured version of our products. Due to technical changes, the instruction
manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you
have purchased. If you need an instruction manual that corresponds to the
purchased product version, you can request it from us free of charge by email
([email protected]) in PDF format, specifying the relevant invoice number and
serial number. If you wish, the operating instructions can also be sent to you by
post in paper form against an applicable postage fee.
The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar
with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations apply-
ing to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EC-machine guidelines.
as per PED 2014/68/EU
In acc. with Article 4 Paragraph 3, "Sound Engineering Practice", of the
PED 2014/68/EU no CE mark.
Diagram 9, Pipe, Group 2 no dangerous fluids
3. Instrument Inspection
All Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of
the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.
Scope of delivery:
The standard delivery includes:
Measuring device type: Screw-Type Volumetric Flow Meter High Pressure

4. Regulation Use
Any use of the OMH which exceeds the manufacturers specifications, may invali-
date its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.
5. Operating Principle
The measuring principle of the KOBOLD
screw-volumeter is positive displacement.
The fluid to be measured causes the
measuring spindles M to rotate. With each
rotation an exact volume is given. These
rotations are being transmitted to the display A
by the pole wheel P and pick up I.
At the display the volume can be shown in any
unit of measurement.
6. General Information
lt is important that any staff concerned with the unit read the operation and
maintenance manual prior to start up of the unit.
The user is responsible for taking all precautions outlined in this manual
This screw-volumeter should not be operated outside of the data specifications
given on the type plate. Any deviations require confirmation from the supplier.
It is not possible to put all the information you may require in the manual.
Should you require any special information, please contact us.
Depending on the operating conditions, wear, corrosion or age of the unit, its
specified attributes may be affected. It is therefore essential that the unit is
periodically maintained. The user must replace all parts which would not
guarantee a longer operating life with trouble-free operation. If the unit
operates unusually or damage is observed, it is not allowed to continue
operation.
Installations which could lead to personal injury and/or material failure should
be equipped with an alarm system and/or bypass. This system should be
checked regularly.

7. Warranty
The warranty is according to our terms of delivery. Repairs during the guarantee
period must be carried out only by individuals authorised by us and in accordance
with our agreement and instructions.

8. Mechanical Connection
Mounting position: any
Flow direction: flow direction: both directions are possible, preferable flow D
according to the identification plate.
Minimum pressure: on the outlet of the volumeter the pressure should be higher
than 0,1 bar. In no case the medium may run out free of the
volumeter
Unclean medium: filtration with max. 0,3 - 0,5 mm mesh width is requi
r
ed
Foreign substance: the pipe system must be free from welding beads, scabs a.
s.o., as they can block the volumete
r
Over pressure valve: a blocked volumeter stops the complete flow of the medium,
therefor depending the application, an overpressure valve is
required.
Fastening: without tensions to prevent distortion of the volumeter pipe
thread connection.
Pipe thread connection: the thread length of the pipe may not be longer than the thread
length of the volumeter (reduction of the flow area resp.
damage of internal parts of flowmeter)
Manometer connections: should be approachable
thread: R 1/4")
Storing: incorrect storing can cause corrosion even seizing
Attention: When the volumeter or installations are damaged, medium could flow
out. To prevent consequential damage an appropriate alarm device should be
installed.

9. Electrical Connection
The dry sleeve is mounted, adjusted and tested with the pick up inside as a whole
unit, by KOBOLD.
The pick-up insert, including milled nut and spring, are screwed into the dry
sleeve by the customer (see included data sheet).
Caution: The dry sleeve must be free of foreign substance. The
spring must be able to press the pick-up insert flush with the
frontside of the dry sleeve.
The free cable ends will be connected to a display unit according connection dia-
gram and technical data on the included data sheet.
Caution: The complete sensor unit (sensor, measuring transducer
and cable) should not be located in an area of high intensity
electromagnetic field, as may come from high voltage
transmissions, electric motors, frequency converters etc,: this
could cause measuring errors or even destruction of the sensor
system.
Even though the pipe-system is filled the pick-up insert of
the pick-up can be changed without regulating a new
distance to the pole wheel.
Exchange pick-up insert E by opening milled nut R.
Caution: Dry sleeve G must not turn!

10. Start up
Technical data on the identification plate and on the attached leaflets must be
taken into consideration.
Venting: The system must be free of air (affects the accuracy)
