4 Safety 4.1 General Safety Instructions WARNING! Risk of explosion A risk of explosion exists if the enCore FC device (FC1 or MC1) is improperly assembled and connected! • The enCore FC device must be installed outside of Ex zones 0, 1 and 2.
Page 24
Safety • The regulations in the relevant standards, especially EN 60079-0, EN 60079-11, EN 60079-17 and EN 60079-25, must be obeyed unconditionally. Safety and warning instructions The following safety and warning instructions must be observed unconditionally: • Any individual appointed to perform work on or with the enCore FC device must read and understand these Operating Instructions before beginning work.
Safety For a description of the process boards refer to chapter Available Process Boards (p. 40). 4.2 Intended Use The enCore FC device is designed and constructed exclusively for its intended use as described here. All enCore FC devices are process computer which process information on the externally connected measurement devices and signal sensors.
Safety Compliance with all the specifications in these “Operating Instructions” also falls under the device's intended use. Any use of the enCore FC that goes beyond or deviates from its intended use is considered a misuse of the device, and may lead to hazardous situations.
Page 27
Safety risks that arise from the specific working conditions when the enCore FC is being used. The operator must include these items in the form of Operating Instructions for the enCore FC. • The operator must review, over the entire operational life of the enCore FC, whether the Operating Instructions prepared by him or her correspond to the current status of the bodies of regulations, and adapt the instructions if necessary.

7 Device Configuration and Commissioning All newly delivered devices are factory-configured so as to support all available interfaces. Setting enCore device parameters, i.e. configuring device functions and adapting the device to the actual measuring point, is done on site using the enSuite software.
Device Configuration and Commissioning 7.1 Device Configuration This section gives brief instructions on how to create a complete confi- guration for enCore devices and how to transfer the configuration into the device on-site via USB. For details refer to volume ”Configuration of Device Software”...
Device Configuration and Commissioning In very rare cases, it may happen that the device shows a prohibitive sign in the home display after parameterization and restart, e.g.: Fig. 7-1: Emergency mode The prohibitive sign indicates that the device has started in emergency mode due to a system error that has been detected during re-start.
Device Configuration and Commissioning 7.2.1 Checking Device Settings The legally relevant parameters can be checked in special device displays ( volume “Use in Legal Metrology” of the enCore FC manual). The enSuite software will allow you to carry out a complete check of the current device parametrization when the software has an online connection to the device.
Device Configuration and Commissioning This function is available in normal mode during online parametrization only. Requirement is that the calibration switch is open. Depending on the action you want to execute, you need the user right Erase fiscal audit trail/fiscal archives and/or the rights for the individual counters on parameter level.
8 Maintenance The enCore FC is practically maintenance-free. Only the battery, which is required for purposes of data retention when the power supply is switched off, must be replaced at certain intervals. This section contains instructions for replacing the battery and cleaning the device, as well as contact data for customer service and the service hotline.
Maintenance The enCore FC automatically signals as soon as battery state of charge has dropped to 20 % of that of a new battery. A dead battery may sometimes lead to a loss of the measurement data that was calculated and saved. For safety reasons, the battery should be replaced only by the manufacturer's service department or by an appropriately trained specialist working for the plant operator.

Maintenance Remove the 4 mounting screws (A) from the left side wall. ► Fig. 8-1 Remove the left side plate. ► Fig. 8-2 Fig. 8-3 Fig. 8-4 Carefully loosen the battery cover tabs (B) using a small screwdriver. ► Remove the battery cover tabs. ►...
Maintenance A capacitor ensures that device data will be retained for 15 minutes. Insert the new battery. ► Make sure the polarity is correct when inserting the battery ( Fig. to 8-4)! An incorrect polarity will make itself known through a loss of data, only after a power failure of greater than 15 minutes.

9 Decommissioning/Disposal 9.1 Storage ATTENTION! Material damage from formation of condensation! Storing the device can lead to the formation of condensation resulting from variations in temperature. This may result in the device malfunctioning at a later time. • If stored or transported in cold weather or if subject to extreme variations in temperature, the device must be slowly brought to room temperature before it is commissioned.
Decommissioning/Disposal • Storage temperature must be between −25°C and +60°C. • Mechanical vibrations must be avoided during storage. 9.2 Disposal Elster, being the manufacturer, will take care of proper disposal of the enCore FC once the operational life of the device expires. Send the enCore FC to the following address: Elster GmbH Steinern Straße 19–21...
