1 Introduction

Manual TME400-VMF · EN02 · 2018 September 6th

1. Introduction

1.1. Structure of the manual

The introduction of this manual comprises two parts. The first part lists general speci-

fications; the symbols used in the manual and the structure of notices are presented

and a risk assessment is provided. The differences between the TME400-VM and

TME400-VMF turbine meters are explained. If there is no explicit reference to differ-

ences, the TME400 is superordinate for both versions of the turbine meter.

Note

This manual refers to the TME400-VM and TME400-VMF instead of the com-

plete turbine meter.

In addition, the first part includes specifications for the transport and storage of the

TME400. The second part of the introduction describes the features and areas of ap-

plication of the TME400; basic standards are listed and the pressure and temperature

ranges in which the TME400 can and may be used are pre-adjusted.

The second chapter describes the electrical and mechanical commissioning of the

TME400. An explanation of how to achieve the reliable commissioning of the meter

and high precision is provided.

The third chapter explains the displays of the TME400. It explains resetting, booting

and replacement of the battery.

The settings of the TME400 are explained in chapter four. In particular, all adjustable

parameters are provided there with some explanations.

The fifth chapter summarizes the technical data and the sixth chapter provides a list

of error messages.

The appendix provides details about the Modbus, measurements, type plate and seal

plans. Then the certificates and approvals are listed.

1.2. Purpose of the manual

This manual provides information that is necessary for fault-free and safe operation.

The TME400 was designed and produced according to the state of the art and gen-

erally recognized safety standards and directives. However, its use can entail dan-

gers that are avoidable by complying with this manual. The device must only be used

as intended and in technically sound condition.

Warning

Unintended use voids all warranty claims and the TME400 can also lose its

approvals.

1.2.1. Abbreviations

The following abbreviations are used:

TME400-VM

The TME400-VM is a turbine meter which is used for non-

custody-transfer volume measurement (Volume Measurement) of

the operating volume of non-aggressive gases and combustion

fuels is used.

TME400-VMF

The TME400-VMF is a turbine gas meter that is used in custody-

transfer applications (Fiscally). The designation TME400-VMF

comprises all turbine meters.

TME400-VC

The TME400-VC also enables calculation of the standard volume

flow (Volume Corrector) from the operating volume flow in non-

custody-transfer applications.

TME400-VCF

The TME400-VCF is used in custody-transfer applications (Fiscal-

ly). In addition to the turbine meter, the TME400-VCF designation

also includes the volume corrector.

Note

This manual only describes the TME400-VM and TME400-VMF.

Warning

This warning notice informs you of potentially dangerous situations that can

arise due to misuse/operator error. If these situations are not avoided, minor

injuries can occur.

Caution

This notice informs you of potentially dangerous situations that can arise

due to misuse/operator error. If these situations are not avoided, damage to

the device or nearby property can occur.

Note

This notice informs you of potentially dangerous situations that can arise

due to misuse/operator error. If these situations are not avoided, damage to

the device or nearby property can occur.

This notice can provide you with helpful tips to make your work easier. This

notice also provides you with further information about the device or the

work process in order to prevent operator error.

1.2.4. Working with the device

1.2.4.1. Safety notices Danger, Warning, Caution and Note

Danger

All of the following safety notices must be observed!

Disregard of the safety notices can result in danger to the life and limb or environ-

mental and property damage.

Bear in mind that the safety warnings in this manual and on the device cannot cover

all potentially dangerous situations, because the interaction of various conditions can

be impossible to foresee. Merely following the instructions may not suffice for correct

operation. Always remain attentive and consider potential consequences.
