2.9 Responsibility ofthe owner
Owner
The owner is the person who operatesthe device himself for business orcommercial purposes or who cedessuch use/application to a third-partyand who, during operation of thedevice, has full legal product steward-ship for protection of the user, the per-sonnel or third-parties.
Duties of the owner
The device is used in the commercialsector. The owner of the device istherefore subject to legal obligationspertaining to work safety.
In addition to the safety instructionscontained in these Operating Instruc-tions, the safety, accident preventionand environmental protection regula-tions applicable to the field of applica-tion of the device must be observed.
In particular, this includes:
n The owner must inform himselfregarding the valid health andsafety regulations and must per-form a risk assessment to addi-tionally determine the risksresulting from the special workconditions arising at the location at
which the device is used, espe-cially in regard to the media used.He must then implement thesewithin Operating Instructions foruse of the device.
n For the USA:The "Occupational Health andSafety Act" of 1970 stipulates thatit is the duty of the owner to pro-vide a safe workplace. He musthereby ensure that the device isoperated and maintained com-pliant to valid commercial, indus-trial, local, federal and state laws,standards and regulations.
n For Canada:The "Canadian Centre for Occupa-tional Health and Safety Act" of1978 stipulates that all Canadianshave “…a fundamental right to ahealthy and safe working environ-ment.” It is therefore the duty ofthe owner to provide a safe work-place. He must ensure that thedevice is operated and maintainedcompliant to valid commercial,industrial, local, provincial, territo-rial and federal laws, standardsand regulations.
n Appropriate to the working condi-tions and the media used, theowner must affix signs within theworking area that inform the userof the hazards and dangerspresent.
n During the entire period of use ofthe device, the owner must checkperiodically to ensure that theOperating Instructions correspondto the current state of regulations,and he must make adjustments asnecessary.
Safety
Responsibility of the owner
06.11.2017 RVO/U-4 Module BASICS Flow Monitor 17
n The owner must clearly regulateand determine responsibilities forinstallation, operation, trouble-shooting, maintenance andcleaning.
n The owner must fit/retrofit suitablesafety equipment within the com-plete plant/system.
n The owner must ensure that allstaff/personnel have thoroughlyread and understand theseinstructions before handling thedevice. Additionally, he must trainthe personnel at regular intervalsand warn them of dangers.
n The owner must provide the per-sonnel with the required safetyequipment and must instruct themthat its wear is mandatory.
Additionally, the owner is responsiblefor ensuring that the device is alwayskept in a technically perfect condition.The following therefore applies:
n The owner must implement suit-able safety measures, appropriateto the media used.
n Different media have differentseverities of influence on thesoiling and wear of/to the device.The owner must set suitable main-tenance intervals, depending onthe media flowing through thedevice.
n The owner must ensure that themaintenance intervals described inthese Operating Instructions areadhered to at all times.
n The owner must ensure that thedevice is completely free of allresidual media before disposal.Remains of corrosive or toxicmaterials must be neutralized.

or switch housing with cable
3.2 Device descriptionRVO/U-4 flow meters work accordingto the functional principle of the vari-able area flowmeter. The flow monitoris installed into a pipe system andmeasures the flow-rate of the mediumflowing through the pipe system.
A float inside the flow monitor ismoved by the flowing medium. A mag-netic field is generated by the magnetsinside the float. The position of thefloat is detected by the switch contact.In addition to electrical control throughthe Reed-contact (switch contact), thecurrent flow rate can also be read-offon the measuring scale on the sightglass.
RVO/U-4 flow monitors are used in,e.g. lubricating circuits: The flow mon-itor monitors the volumetric flow of thelubricating media to ensure it is highenough to ensure sufficient lubrication.If the flow through the flow monitordrops below the threshold preset bythe operator, the switch contactswitches (change-over contact) orcloses the contact (normally open con-tact).

5.6 Electrical connec-tion
The electrical connection of the flowmonitor is accomplished through theconnector plug or the cast on powercable leading from the switch housing.The switch contacts employed in thesedevices are potential free and do notrequire a power source. Switch con-tacts and flow monitor have been opti-mally harmonized. After replacementof a switch contact, the switch pointmust be readjusted.
DANGER!
Danger to life from electricalcurrentThere is an immediate risk tolife from electrocution ontouching live parts. Damage tothe electrical insulation orsingle components can beextremely dangerous.
– Only qualified electriciansshall work on the electricalsystem
– If the insulation is dam-aged, immediately switchoff and have repairs per-formed.
– Before commencing workon live parts of electricalsystems and components,disconnect the equipmentand ensure that it remainsdisconnected for the dura-tion of the work. Observethese 5 safety rules whendoing so:– Isolate (disconnect)
– Secure againstswitching back on
– Check for absence ofvoltage
– Ground and short– Cover or cordon off
other live parts in thevicinity
– Never bridge fuses or putthem out of operation.Always observe the correctcurrent ratings whenreplacing fuses
– Keep moisture away fromlive parts. This may resultin short-circuit

5.9 Contact protectionmeasures
The Reed-switches used in the switchcontacts are designed to be very sen-sitive to overload. To prevent destruc-tion of the switch contact, the valuesspecified on the rating plate of theswitch contact must never beexceeded (not even temporarily).
There is a risk of overload from:
n inductive loadsn capacitive loadsn ohmic loads.
Suitable measures must be taken toprotect against overload (see followingexamples):
Installation and initial startup
Contact protection measures
06.11.2017RVO/U-4 Module BASICS Flow Monitor38
Inductive load
There is danger of voltage peaks frominductive loads when switching off (upto 10 times the rated voltage). Induc-tive loads are caused by, e.g.:
n Contactors, relaysn Solenoid valvesn Electric motors
Examples of protective measures:
Fig. 27: Example 1
Fig. 28: Example 2
Capacitive loads
There is a danger of high currentpeaks from capacitive loads whenswitching-on the switch contact(exceeding rated current). Capacitiveloads are caused by, e.g.:
n Long connecting cablesn Capacitive consumers
Example of protective measure:
Fig. 29: Protective measure againstcapacitive loads
Ohmic loads
There is a danger of high currentpeaks from ohmic loads whenswitching-on the switch contact. Thereason for this is that the glow filamenthas a low resistance at low tempera-tures. Ohmic loads are caused by,e.g.:
n Filament bulbsn Motors during startup
Examples of protective measures:
Fig. 30: Example 1
Fig. 31: Example 2

Contact protection measures
06.11.2017 RVO/U-4 Module BASICS Flow Monitor 39
Protection against ohmic loads can beachieved through installation of aresistor in the circuit, or by heating theglow filament. For connection to high-impedance consumers (ex. PLC), aprotective circuit is not needed.

8.2 Maintenance planIntervals for replacing wear parts
RVO/U-4 type flow monitors requirevery little maintenance due to the smallnumber of moving parts. The intervalsfor the replacement of wear partsdepend significantly on the operatingconditions as well as on the composi-tion of the medium flowing through thedevice. For this reason, no intervalshave been set by the manufacturer.The operator must determine suitableintervals based on the local conditionsand circumstances.
