I. Introduction

1.1. Magnetic Flow Meter Introduction

Electromagnetic flow meter is designed to measure the volume flow of

conductive liquids in closed pipelines with extremely high accuracy and
reliability. It is suitable for measuring the flow of liquids, pastes, and slurries in
water, waste water, chemical, fertilizer, dairy, food, beverage, pharmaceutical,
medical, petrochemical, iron, steel, paper, mining, and agricultural industries
etc. The structure of the instrument has integral type and remote type.

1.2. Features:

● There are no moving parts in measuring tube, so it is convenient for

maintenance. No flow-blocking parts, so it has quite low pressure loss.
● The lowest conductivity of the tested liquid is ≥20μs/cm, with various lining
materials, it can be used to measure the flow of various acids, alkalis, salt
solutions, slurry, mineral pulp and paper pulp etc.
● The performance of the instrument is not affected by the properties of the
material such as corrosiveness, viscosity, pressure, density, acidity, and
alkalinity. The induction voltage signal of sensor has a linear relationship with
the average flow rate, which ensure high accuracy.
● With Low-frequency rectangular wave excitation, it is not affected by the
power frequency and various interferences on site, so that to ensure stable and
reliable measuring.
●Not affected by the direction of the fluid, both positive and negative flow can
be accurately measured.
●With LCD backlit display, parameters can be modified on site conveniently.
With empty pipe detection/alarm function, the unit can detect if the pipe is full
or drained /empty.

II. Installation Note

2.1 Choose the Installation Place

To ensure the stable and reliable performance of the sensor, please pay
attention to the following requirements when choosing the installation location:
(1) Keep away from equipment with a strong magnetic field as far as possible,
such as large motors, large transformers, frequency conversion equipment etc.
(2) Please better install in a dry and ventilated place, not a humid place.
(3) Direct sun exposure or direct raining is better to be avoided. The
environment temperature should be not more than 60 °C and relative humidity
not more than 95%.
(4) Choose a place where is convenient for operation and maintenance.
(5) To avoid negative pressure, the flow sensor should not be installed at the
pump inlet, but at the pump outlet. Valves should always be mounted on the
downstream side of the flow sensor.

2.2. Installation Requirements

5
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

In order to ensure correct measuring, please pay attention to the following

requirements when choosing the line position:
(1) The flow sensor can be mounted vertically or horizontally. If the flow
sensor is mounted vertically, the flow direction should always be upwards.
(2) The medium should always be full-filled in pipe at the installation location
to avoid not full filled pipes and gas adhering to the electrode.
(3) For liquid-solid two-phase flow, it’s better to choose perpendicular
installation to make liner of sensor attrition uniform and prolong working
life.
(4) When sensor is not fully filled, it can raise end pipeline of flow meter and
makes its full tube.
(5) Diameter-Varing: When flow rate is too large or too small, we should use
this installation method change diameter to meet flow rate requirements.
Straight pipe upstream ≥10DN, straight pipe downstream ≥5DN(DN means
pipe diameter)
(6) The front and rear straight pipes are ≥10DN at the front of the flowmeter
and ≥5DN at the back.

2.3 Instrument Wiring

● The remote type signal cable should use a customized dedicated cable, the
shorter the cable, the better.
●A Yz medium-sized rubber sheathed cable is optional for the excitation cable,
and its length is the same as that of the signal cable.
● Signal cables must be strictly separated from other power sources and cannot
be laid in the same pipe.
● The signal cable and excitation cable should be as short as possible, and the
excess cables should not be rolled together. The excess cables should be cut off
and the joints should be re-welded.
● When the cable is connected to the electrical interface of the sensor, insert a
U-shape at the port to prevent rainwater from penetrating into the sensor.

2.4 Sensor Grounding

Danger!

Electric potential difference is not allowed between measuring sensor and

shells or converter protection grounding.Electromagnetic flow meter must be
ground connection separately before using ， if grounding together with other
instruments or electrical devices, the leakage current in ground wire may will
produce series mode interference to the measurement signal , it could cause
electromagnetic flow meter can not work.

3.3 Characteristic and Connection of Cable

3.3.1 Flux Signal Line

When separated models of converters are assembled with sensors for
measuring flow of fluid which conductivity is larger than 50μS/cm, PVVP
2*0.2 mm2 model cable (metal shielded signal cable covered with PVC) can be
used as communication cable for flow signals. The length of signal cable
should be less than 100 m. Signal cables have to be connected to sensors that
were assembled by producers. Connections of signal cables are shown in
Pic.4.3(b) for squire-shaped models and Pic.4.3(d) for circle-shaped models,
respectively.
The converter can output equivalent level of shielded exciting signal voltage so
that interference to flow measurement signals can reduced by means of
lowering the distributed capacitance of communication cable. When measured
conductivity is less than 50μS/cm or signals are transferred in remote distances,
double-conductor and double-shielded signal cable at equivalent level of
voltage can be used. For example, special STT3200 cable or BTS model signal
cable (triple-shielded) can be used for signal communication.

3.3.2 Exciting Current Cable

Two conductor and insulating rubber- covered cables can be used as exciting

15
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

current cables. Suggested model is RVVP2*0.3mm2 . Length of exciting

current cable should be equal to that of signal cable. When the model STT3200
cables are used for exciting current and signals, two cables can be put together
as one cable.

3.3.3 Output and Power Line

All cables for signals transferring and power supply has to be prepared by users.
However, it should be careful to choose the cables that meet the upper limit
load of consuming current.
Note: When DIP switch next to terminal is set to ON places, the converter from
its inside can provide +28Vpower supply and up-pull 10kΩ resistance to output
Frequencies (PUL) to isolated OC gate, Alarm Output (ALMH.ALML), and
Status Control（INSW）.Therefore, when converter has frequency output and
works with sensor together, DIP switch can be set as ON getting frequency
signals from POUT and PCOM terminals.
Pulse current output, alarm current output and external power supply can be
seen in Pic.3.3 (a). When inductive load is connected to converter, diode should
be used as in Pic.3.3 (b).

3.3.4 Grounding
Contact area of copper Connector PE on Converter Cabinet for grounding
should be larger than 1.6mm2.Contact resistance should be less than 10Ω.

3.3.5 Digital Output and Calculate

Digital output means frequency output and pulse output, and both of them use
the same output point, so user can choose only one type of them but not both.

3.3.5.1 Frequency Output

Frequency output range is 0～5000HZ, and corresponding the percent of flux.

The upper limit of frequency output can be adjusted. It can be chosen from 0 ~
5000HZ, and also can be chosen low frequency: such as 0 ~ 1000HZ or 0 ~
5000HZ.
Frequency output mode general can be used in control application, because it
responses the percent flux. Users can choose pulse output when the equipment
is applied to count.

3.3.5.2 Pulse Output Mode:

Pulse output mainly applies in count mode. A pulse output delegates a unit flux,
such as 1L or 1M3 etc. Pulse output unit divide into 0.001L, 0.01L, 0.1L, 1L,
0.001M3, 0.01M3, 0.1M3, 1 M3 .When users choose the pulse unit, they
should notice the match of the flux range of flow meter and pulse unit. For
volume flux, count formula as follows:
QL=0.0007854×D2×V (L/S)
OR QM=0.0007854×D2×V×10-3 (M3/S)
Note: D-nozzle (mm)
V-velocity of flow (m/s)
The setting of pulse unit should match flow rate in working site. If the flow rate
is large but the pulse unit setting is small, the number of pulse outputs will
exceed the limit. Generally, pulse output should be controlled below 3000
Pulse/Second. Conversely, if the flow rate is small but the pulse unit is set too
large, it will take too long time to generate a pulse.

19
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Meanwhile, pulse output is different from frequency output. One pulse output
is stand for the value of flow volume for pulse unit. equal to the value of one
pulse unit. Generally, measure pulse output should use count instrument, but
not frequent instrument.

3.3.5.3 The Connection of Digital Output

Digital output have two connected points: digital output connected point,
digital ground point, and symbol as follows:
POUT ----- digital output point;
PCOM ----- digital ground point;
POUT is collector plough output; user may refer to next circuit to
connect

3.3.5.4 The Connection of Digital Voltage Output

3.3.5.5 Digital Output Connect Electricity Coupling (PLC etc.)

Pic.3.4 (b) Digital output connect to electricity coupling

20
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Commonly user’s electricity coupling current is about 10mA, so E/R=10mA,

E=5～24V.

3.3.5.6 Digital Output Connect Relay

Pic.3.4（c） Digital output connect relay

Commonly relay needs E as 12/24 VDC is extended diode; now most middle
relays have this diode inside. If don't have, user should connect one diode
outside.

3.3.6 Analog Signal Output and Calculate

3.3.6.1 Analog Output

21
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

There are two signal types: 0 ～ 10mA and 4 ～ 20mA, user can select from
parameter setting.
Signal output is 24V under 0~20mA, it can drive 750Ω resistance.
The formula of signal output:

The current zero point is 0 when selected output is 0~10mA, and the current
zero point is 4mA when selected output is 4~20mA.
To improve signal output distinguish, user should set the measure range
properly.

3.3.6.2 Analog Signal Output Adjust

▲ (1) The Converter adjust preparative
After 15 minutes of operation, the inside of the flowmeter has reached thermal
stability. Prepare a 0.1% ammeter, or a 250 ohm resistor and 0.1% voltmeter,
and connect them as shown in the figure below.

▲(2) Current analog zero point correction:

Get into menu "Parameter Setting" , select the "Analog Zero" item, dial the
standard signal source as "0" and adjust the correction coefficient value, so that
the ammeter indicates exactly 4mA (±0.004mA).
▲(3) Current full-scale correction
Select the "Analog Range" parameter, switch the standard signal source to the
full scale range, and adjust the converter correction.
The coefficient makes the ammeter indicate exactly 20mA (±0.004mA).
After adjusting the current "0" point and full-scale value, the current function
of the converter can ensure accuracy.

22
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Conversion the current output linearity of the converter is within 0.1%.

▲(4) Current linearity check:
Set the standard signal source to 75%, 50%, 25%, and check the linearity of the
analog output.

Grade 5 of password (Fixed):
parameters.

Password Grade 5 can be set by skilled users. Grade 4 is mainly used for
resetting total volume in password. Grades 1~3 can be set by anyone who can
be chosen by users.

4.3 Details Parameters

4.3.1 Language
There are muti languages for converter operation. They can be set by users
according to the users needs.

4.3.2 Comm. Address

It means this instrument’s address when communicates with many, and has
01~99, holding the 0.

4. 3.3 Baud Rate

300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400, baud rate.

31
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

4.3.4 Sensor Size

Converters can be equipped with some deferent sensors that have deferent
diameter of measuring pipes. The pipes in deferent diameters from 3mm to
3000mm can be chosen in relative table.

4.3.5 Flow Unit

The flow unit can choose from the parameters (L/s, L/m, L/h, m3/s, m3/m,
m3/h, UKG, USG), and the user can choose the proper unit according to the
technological requirement and using habit.

4.3.6 Flow Range

Flow range means upper limit value, and lower limit value is set “0”
automatically. So, it makes the range, and makes the relation of percent display,
frequency output and current output with flow:
Percent display = (flow measure / measure range) x 100 %;
Frequency output = (flow measure / measure range) x frequency full;
Current output = (flow measure / measure range) x current full + base
point;
Pulse output will not affect.

4.3.7 Flow Rspns

It means time of filter measure value. The long one can enhance the stability of
flow display and output digital, and fits for gross add up of pulse flow; the
short one means fast respond rate, and fits for production control. It is set by
select.

4.3.8 Flow Direction

If user find that the displayed flow direction is different with acutal flow
direction, just need to change the direction parameter in menu. Don't need to
change the installation direction of flow meter, exciting cables or signal cables.

4.3.9 Flow Zero

Make sure the sensor is full of flow, and the flow is stillness. Flow zero is
shown as velocity of flow, mm/s.

32
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Converter’s zero-flow correction displays like this:

Upper small words: FS means measure value of zero;
Lower large words: correction value of zero.
When FS is not “0”, make FS = 0. Note: if change the value on next line and
FS increases, please change the “+, -” to correct FS to zero.
Flow zero is the compound value of the sensor, and should be recorded in
sensor list and band. The unit will be mm/s, and the sign will be opposite with
correction value.

4.3.10 Flow Cutoff

Flow cutoff is set in percentage of Upper Limit Range of flow, and users can
delete all Negligible Small Signals of flow volume, velocity and percentage out
of displaying and outputting them. Sometimes user can delete output of current
output signal and frequency (pulse) output signal only to have flow, velocity
and percentage being displayed.

4.3.11 Total Unit

Converter display is counter with 9 bits, and the max is 999999999.
Integrator units are L, m3 (liter, stere,).

Flow integrator value:

0.001L 0.010L 0.100L 1.000L

0.001m3 0.010m3 0.100m3 1.000m3

4.3.12 SegmaN Ena

When “SegmaN Ena” is “enable”, if the flow flows, the sensor will export
pulse and current。When it is “disable”, the sensor will export pulse as “0” and

33
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

current as “0” (4mA or 0mA) for the flow flows reversals.

4.3.13 Output Currents

Output current types can be chosen by users as 1~10mA or 4~20mA
practically.

4.3.14 Pulse Type

Two kinds of Pulse Outputs are can be chosen: Frequency Output and Pulse
Output. Frequency Output is continuous square waveform and Pulse output is a
serial wave of square wave. Frequency output is mainly used for instant flow
and total integrated flow in short time measurement. Frequency output can be
chosen in equivalent frequency unit and volume of integrated flow can be
displayed. Frequency Output can be used in long time measurement for total
integrated flow with volume units.
Frequency output and pulse output are usually from OC gates so that DC power
supplies and load resistors have to be required (See Part 4.5).

4.3.15 Pulse Fact

Equivalent pulse Unit is referred to one pulse for value of flow. The range of
pulse equivalent can be chosen:

Pulse Equivalent Flow Pulse Equivalent Flow

1 0.001L/cp 5 0.001m3/cp

2 0.01L/cp 6 0.01m3/cp

3 0.1L/cp 7 0.1m3/cp

4 1.0L/cp 8 1.0m3/cp

Under the same flow, the smaller pulse, the higher frequency output, and the
smaller error will be. The highest pulse output is 100cp/s, and mechanism
electromagnetic counter can get 25 frequency/s.

34
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

4.3.16 Freque Max

Frequency output range is as the upper limit of flow measure, just the percent
flow 100%. Frequency output upper limit can be selected between 1～5000Hz.
The state of empty pipe can be detected with the function of converter. In the
case of Empty Pipe Alarm, if the pipe was empty, the signals of analog output
and digital output would be zero and displayed flow would be zero, too.

4.3.17 Mtsnsr Ena

The state of empty pipe can be detected with the function of converter. In the
case of Empty Pipe Alarm, if the pipe was empty, the signals of analog output
and digital output would be zero and displayed flow would be zero, too.

4.3.18 Mtsnsr Trip

When the pipe is full of liquid (whether flowing or not), the parameter of
“Mtsnsr” could be modified more easily. The parameter displayed upper line is
real MTP, and the parameter displayed bellow is the “Mtsnsr trip” that should
be set. When setting “Mtsnsr trip”, you could be according to the real MTP, the
value that should be set is usually three to five times of real MTP.

4.3.19 Alm Hi Ena

Users can choose “Enable” or “Disable”.

4.3.20 Alm Hi Val

The parameter of upper limit alarm is percentage of flow range and can be set
in the way of setting one numerical value between 0%~199.9%.When the value
of flow percentage is larger than the value of setting value, the converter
outputs the alarm signal.

4. 3.21 Alm Lo Val

The same as upper limit alarm.

4.3.22 Sys Alm Ena

Select "Enable", with excitation alarm function.
Select "Disable", cancel this excitation alarm function.

35
 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

4.3.23 Clr Sum Key

The user can set the password with a password above the third level, and then
set the password in the total reset menu.

4.3.24 Sensor Code

The sensor code can be used to mark the production time and number of the
sensor to match the setting of the sensor coefficient.

4.3.25 Sensor Coefficient

Sensor coefficient: the calibration coefficient of the electromagnetic flowmeter.
The coefficient is obtained from the actual standard and is stamped on the
sensor plate. The user must put this coefficient in the converter parameter table.

4.3.26 Field Type

There are three exciting frequency types: 1/16 frequency(type 1), 1/20
frequency (type 2), 1/25 frequency (type 3). The small caliber should select
1/16 frequency, and large caliber should select 1/20 frequency or 1/25
frequency. In use, first select the excitation type 1. If the zero point of the flow
rate of the meter is too high, then select type 2 or type 3. Note: In which
excitation method is calibrated, it must work in which excitation type.

4.3.27 Fwd Total Lo, hi

The total high and low settings can be change the positive cumulative total and
the reverse cumulative total value, which is mainly used for instrument
maintenance and replacement.
The user uses a 5-level password to enter, and can modify the positive the
positive cumulateive amount（Σ+）. The cumulative amount generally set cannot
exceed the maximum value counted by the counter（999999999）.

4.3.28 Rev Total Lo, hi

The user uses a 5-level password to enter, and can modify the reverse
cumulative amount （Σ-）.Generally, the cumulative amount can not exceed the
maximum value （999999999）counted by the counter.

4.3.29 PlsntLmtEn
For paper pulp, slurry and other serosity, the flow measure will have "spike
items disturb", because the solid grain friction or concussion the measure
electrode(Notes:spike item is refer to the sharp or pointed items such as solid
material,stone,etc). converter uses variation restrain arithmetic to conquer the
disturbing by designing three parameters to select disturb character.
Set it "enable", start variation restrain arithmetic; set it "disable", close
variation restrain arithmetic.

4.3.30 PlsntLmtVl
This coefficient can disturb the variation of spike items disturb, and calculate
as percent of flow velocity, thus ten grades: 0.010m/s, 0.020m/s, 0030m/s,
0.050m/s, 0.080m/s, 0.100m/s, 0.200m/s, 0.300m/s, 0.500m/s, 0.800m/s, and
the smaller percent, the higher sensitivity of pointed items restrain.
Note: In the application, the higher the sensitivity is not necessarily the better,
but the choice should be tested according to the actual situation.

4.3.31 Plsnt Delay

This coefficient can select the width of time of restrain spike items disturb and
the unit is ms. If the duration is shorter than flow change in some time,
converter will think it is spike items disturb, and if it is longer, converter will
think it is natural. It also needs to select parameter in fact.

4.3.32 User’s Password 1~4

Users can use 5 grades of passwords to correct these passwords.

4.3.33 Analog Zero

When the converter is made in the factory, output current has been calibrated to
zero scale, that is, accurate 0mA or 4mA output.

4.3.34 Analog Range

When the converters is made in the factory, output current have been calibrated
to full scale, that is, accurate 10mA or 20mA output.

4.3.35 Meter Factor

This factor is the special one of sensor-made-factory and the factory use this
fact to unite electromagnetic flow meters converters to make sure all the
instruments can interchange by 0.1%.

4.3.36 Meter Code 1 and 2

Converter code records the date of manufacturing and serial number of
converter.

4.3.37 Check Mode

For RS485 communcation use, default is No Parity Stop 1. Options are below:
No Parity Stop 1, Odd Parity Stop 1, Even Parity Stop 1

6. Alarm Information

PCB of electromagnetic flow meters converters uses SMT, so for user, it is

unable to service, and cannot open the shell of converter. intelligent converters
have self-diagnose function. Without trouble of power and hardware circuit, the
normal trouble can be alarmed correctly. This information displays on the
left of LCD. The trouble is like this:

7. Trouble Shooting

Item Trouble Shooting

a) Check the power supply connection;

b) Check is the power fuse is OK or not;
No display c) Check the contrast of LCD and regulate it to working state;

a) Check if the exciting cables EX1 and EX2 is connecting or not;

b) Check if the total resistance of sensor’s exciting coil
Exciting alarm resistances less than 150Ω;
c) If a) and b) are OK, the converter is failed.

● Whether the fluid is full of the pipeline;;

● Use wires to short-circuit the three points of the converter
(signal input terminals SIG1, SIG2 and SGND). At this time,
if the "FGP" prompt is cancelled, it means that the converter
is normal.
Then you need to consider whether the measured fluid has a
low conductivity or the empty pipe threshold(range of empty
pipe) is set incorrectly;
● Check whether the signal connection is correct;
● Check whether the sensor electrode is normal.
Let the flow is zero, then the displayed conductivity should
be less than 100%.
Empty pipe alarm In the presence of flow, resistances of SIG1 to SGND and
SIG2 to SGND are all less than 50kΩ. (Medium is water,
(FGP) better use a pointer multimeter to test.)
● Use a multimeter to measure the DC voltage between DS1
and DS2, which should be less than 1V, otherwise the
sensor electrode is contaminated and should be cleaned.

● If measured fluid full of testing pipe of sensor;

The measured ● Check if the signal cable is OK;

20mA.For this reason, it can save local data communication line and
implement data communication. Its adaptive for local using. The local network
Pic composed by HART Bus is as follows:

2. Instruction for Setting of The Converter

● If you use the handset of our company, you need to set the meter address to 1
and set the baud rate to 4800;
● If you use other handset such as 375 or 275, you need to set the meter
address to 2 and set the baud rate to 4800;
● If the communication mode, the address or the baud rate of the meter is not
set correctly, the handset can’t set the parameters.

3.Matters need attention of HART using function meter

● Load which is parallel connection between electrical flow meter and Hand

Appendix Three: Flow Coefficient Modification Records

Converter has a function of protecting the Characteristic Flow Factor. The key
content is that the factor could not be modified easily. Converter increases a
new function to record the modified procedure and modified times of flow zero,
sensor factor, and meter factor, any change of these three factors could be
recorded. The sensor factor and modifying times could be recorded in Test
Report, and when next time testing the factor in Test Report and factor in the
convertor are compared to check whether the Characteristic Flow Factor has
been changed. The detail about the Characteristic Flow Factor protection
function can be found in the appendix.

Attention！

The last record is displayed when this item is first entered, if you want to
browse the history records press “down key”, and could search for the last
record to the thirty-two record ahead. Finally the times of record modified (MR)
should be written down on the paper before next time test.

Appendix Four: Lightning Protection Notes

When installing, users must

connect the converter ’ s
earthing terminal with the
shell, and then earthing them
reliably, because the electrical
current can be put into the
earth through the shell by the
gas discharger of lightning
protection. If the shell has not
been earthing reliably, once
lightning, it may cause a
personal accident when there
is somebody operating the
converter. The specific
