01 Sight glass with measuring scale02 Explosion-proof limit contact
housing with cast on power cable
The flow monitor DKG-1 monitors thecontinuous flow of liquids. It isdesigned for installation into pipe sys-tems.
A float inside the device is moved bythe medium flowing through it. The cur-rent rate of flow can be read off on themeasuring scale on the sight glass.The top edge of the float is the read offpoint.
Electrical monitoring is accomplishedby explosion-proof limit contacts. Theelectrical connection is accomplishedthrough a cast on power cable.
1.2 Warranty and guar-antee provisions
Warranty and guarantee provisions arecontained in the general terms andconditions of the manufacturer.
1.3 Customer serviceFor technical information, please con-tact our customer service department(for contact details, see Page 2).
Furthermore, our staff is always inter-ested in receiving new information andexperiences gained from application ofthe device, which might be useful inimproving our products.

5 Transport, packaging and storageTransport, packaging and storage innon-explosion-hazard zones aredescribed in Chapter 4, "DKG-1Module BASICS".
In explosion-hazard zones, in additionto the requirements described in theabove reference, all valid provisions forsafety, accident prevention and envi-ronmental protection must be compliedwith.
Packaging procedures (wrapping/unwrapping) may only be conductedoutside the explosion-hazard zone.
DANGER!
Danger to life if packaging pro-cedures are conducted in explo-sion-hazard zones.
n Packaging procedures may onlybe conducted outside the explo-sion-hazard zone.

6 Installation and initial startupInstallation and initial startup in non-explosion-hazard zones are describedin Chapter 5, "DKG-1 ModuleBASICS". In addition, for installationand initial startup in explosion-hazardzones, the following sections must beobserved:
6.1 SafetyAll relevant safety-, accident preven-tion- and environmental protection reg-ulations must be followed for employ-ment in an explosion hazard zone.
6.2 ToolsTools, which may cause sparks, arenot to be employed. These tools mayonly be used when there is no poten-tially explosive atmosphere present.
The use of steel tools, of any kind, isprohibited in hazard zone 1, whenthere is risk of explosion due to sub-stances in explosion hazard group IIC(in accordance with IEC/TR360079-20), (for example, acetylene,hydrogen).
6.3 Protection of thesight glass
The flow monitor with sight glass mustbe installed in such a way as to pre-clude damage to the sight glass by out-side force.
The facility operator is responsible forthe installation of an appropriateimpact protection shield.
6.4 Electrical connec-tion
Electrical connection is accomplishedthrough the cast on power cableleading from the switch housing. Allsafety advisories contained in theOperating Instructions for "DKG-1Module BASICS", Chapter 5, must beobserved. Additionally, for operation inexplosion-hazard zones, all valid provi-sions for safety, accident preventionand environmental protection must becomplied with.
6.5 Grounding thedevice
When installing the device in a pipesystem, ensure that the device isgrounded to the pipe system to avoid adangerous electrical potential differ-ence.
6.6 Contact protectionmeasures
Recommendations for contact protec-tion measures, when the device isemployed in a non-explosion-hazardzone, are described in chapter 5.9"Contact protection measures" of theOperating Instructions for "DKG-1Module BASICS". When the device isemployed in an explosion-hazard zone,
