2FOR YOUR SAFETY
2 For your safety
2.1 Basic safety information
Improper use or handling can cause health or material damage. Therefore, it is imperative
that the following points are observed to prevent damage:
The legal stipulations and associated technical regulations relevant for the respective
system must be observed when preparing and carrying out work.
●All work must be carried out in accordance with the local, system-specific conditions and
with due consideration of operating hazards and specifications.
●The Operating Instructions belonging to the Flow-X flow computer as well as plant
documentations must be available on site.
●Always observe the information on the prevention of danger and damage given therein.
2.2 Intended use
2.2.1 Purpose of the device
The Flow-X flow computer measures and calculates, using standard algorithms and process
data, standardized volume flow based on the connected devices, such as FLOWSIC gas flow
meters and process transmitters.
It may only be used as specified by the manufacturer.
2.2.2 Correct use
The device may only be used as described in the Operating Instructions.
Pay special attention that:
●The usage of the technical data corresponds to the specifications on allowable use as
well as assembly, connection, ambient and operating conditions (see the order
documents, device pass, type plates and documentation delivered with the device)
●All measures required to maintain the device, e.g. for maintenance and inspection,
transport and storage are complied with.
2.3 Responsibility of user
▸Read the Operating Instructions before putting the Flow-X flow computer into operation.
▸Observe all safety information.
▸If anything is not clear: Please contact SICK Customer Service.
WARNING:
The SICK Flow-X flow computer is neither intrinsically safe nor explosion proof and can
therefore only be used in a non-hazardous area (safe area).
For details on the installation of other devices in a hazardous area, always refer to the
documentation supplied by the manufacturer.
When connecting to a device located in a hazardous area, it may be necessary to use
safety barriers or galvanic isolation between the device and the SICK Flow-X flow
computer. Corresponding information can be found in the device documentation.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3
3 Product description
3.1 Flow-X flow computer
The Flow-X flow computer consists of 1 to 4 Flow-X modules (Flow-X) and an enclosure
(Flow-X/S, Flow-X/P or Flow-X/C). For a Flow-X/S or Flow-X/P enclosure, the Flow-X modules
are exchangeable whereas for a Flow-X/C, the Flow-X module is permanently installed inside
and therefore cannot be exchanged.
3.2 Flow-X Module
The Flow-X module is the core element and represents the complete gas flow computer. It
represents a measuring section in a gas measuring system. The Flow-X module is operated
in a Flow-X/S, Flow-X/P or Flow-X/C enclosure. It has its own 4-inch display and four
navigation keys which serve to check values and change parameters.
