2. WORKING PRINCIPLES
2.1 Measuring Principles
The measuring principle of electromagnetic flow meter is based on the electromagnetic
induction law of Farady. The sensor is mainly composed of measuring tube with isolate lining, a
pair of electrodes installed by penetration of the measuring tube wall, a pair of coils and iron
core to produce working magnetic field. When the conductive fluid flows through the measuring
tube of the sensor, the voltage signal in direct proportion to the average flow velocity of the fluid
will be inducted on the electrodes. The signal is amplified and treated by the transmitter to
realize various display functions.

2.2 Converter Circuit Schematic

The converters supplies a stable exciting current to the coil in the sensor of electronetic flow
meters to get B constant and amplifies the electromotive force and convert it into standard
signals of current or frequency so that the signals can be used for displaying, controlling and
processing. The schematic of converter circuit is shown in Fig. 2.1.

6.5 Parameter Setting Explaination
6.5.1 Sensor Size
The converter supports sensor diameter ranging from 3 to 3000mm, which can be chosen by
pressing UP or DOWN key.
6.5.2 Flow Range
Flow range refers to the upper range value (URV) of flow rate. The URV is relative to flow
percentage and output signal. At the analog output the amount of the measured values in the
range 0 up to URV is displayed linear to the current range 4 to 20mA, at the frequency output to
the frequency range 0 to the end frequency. The low flow cutoff and flow limit alarm relates to
flow range as well. The maximum measurable flow rate, however, is not limited to the flow
range as long as the flow speed does not exceed 15m/s.
In this menu item, user can also choose unit of flow rate. For volume flow, L/s, L/min, L/h,
m3/s, m3/min and m3/h are available; while for mass flow, kg/s、kg/m、kg/h、t/s、t/m、t/h can be
selected from. It is up to the habits and application requirements to pickup a proper unit.
6.5.3 Auto Rng Chg
The converter has a function called Auto-Range-Change that is usually used for control
system with wide flow range variation. The primary flow range is the value given by menu item
‘Flow Range’. The second flow range (lower range) is obtained by selecting range ratio 1:2, 1:4
or 1:8 of primary one.
Fig 5 illustrates how the flow range is changed automatically. To safely change range and
avoid vibration of display and output, a 5% to 10% hysteresis is added at the change point.

6.5.4 Damping
Long damping constant can improve the stability of display and output and is suitable to
flow control application; while short damping constant has short response time and is suitable to
the totalization of pulse flow. Damping time is selectable from 0.2s to 100s.
6.5.5 Flow Dir.
If the displayed direction sign is not agreed to the actual flow direction, change this item to
the opposite option.
6.5.6 Flow Zero
To conduct zero adjustment, the fluid in the sensor pipe must be held still. The flow zero is
displayed by flow speed and the unit is m/s. The display of flow zero is shown below:

FS=○○.○○○m/s
±○○○○○
On the LCD, the top line displays the measured zero point while the bottom line shows the
adjustment value. If the FS is not equal to 00.000m/s, adjust the sign and value on bottom line
until FS back to nil. Remind again: to adjust the flow zero, the sensor pipe must be filled and the
fluid must be kept still. The flow zero adjustment value is an important constant of the meter and
should be printed on the calibration sheet and label. The value should include the sign and
amount by unit of m/s.
6.5.7 L.F. Cutoff and Cutoff Enble
Low flow cutoff is set in percentage relative to flow range. If Cutoff is enabled and flow is
lower than the set value, the display of flow rate, speed and percentage and signal outputs are
forced to nil. If the item is disabled, no action is taken.
6.5.8 Rate-Of-Chng and Limit Time
‘Rate-of-change’ limit technique is used to eliminate application-related high electrical
noise contained in the process flow signal.
To check electrical noise, two parameters are defined: ‘Rate-of-change’ limit and ‘Control
limit time’. If the sampled flow value exceeds the set rate-of-change limit value based on the
averaged flow rate value up until the sampled time, the system will reject that sampled value and
instead the averaged value including the rate-of-change limit value in place of the rejected
sampled value will be output. However, if the limit-exceeding sampled value continues for the
same flow direction for more than the preset control limit time, that data will be used as output
signal. Fig 6 illustrates the effect of noise-suppressing by rate-of-change limit.
The value of rate-of-change limit can be set from 0 to 30% of flow range and limit time
ranges from 0 to 20 seconds. If either of the two parameters is set to nil, the function is disabled.
The rate-of-change limit function is not suitable for short period measurement and flow
meter calibration.

Fig.6 Example for the effect of rate-of-change limit

6.5.9 Total Unit

The converter has three 10-digit counters and the maximum counts are 9999999999. The
total flow unit can be L, m3, kg or t (metric ton) with a multiplying factor of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1,
10, 100 or 1000.
6.5.10 Flow Density
The converter is capable of measuring mass flow if fluid density is set. The density can be
set from 0.0001 to 3.9999 and the mass unit is determined automatically by flow unit. The
density should be set to 1.0000 (default value) if not used. Otherwise, measurement data will be
forced to nil.
6.5.11 Current Type
Current output type is selectable from 4-20mA to 0-10mA.
6.5.12 Pulse Output
Two types of pulse output are available to choose from: frequency output mode and pulse
output mode. The meter outputs continuous square wave pulse under frequency mode, while
pulse series under pulse mode. Frequency output is usually used for flow rate measurement and
short period of time totalization. Pulse output can be connected to an external counter directly
and is often used for long period of time totalization.
As mentioned hereinbefore, transistor open collector circuit is used for frequency and pulse
output. Therefore, the external DC power supply and load are necessary.
6.5.13 Pulse Factor
Pulse factor is defined as: volume or mass per pulse. It can be set to 0.001L/p, 0.01L/p, 0.1L/p,
1L/p, 2L/p, 5L/p, 10L/p, 100L/p, 1m3/p, 10 m3/p, 100 m3/p or 1000 m3/p. Pulse width is
selectable from auto, 10ms, 20ms, 50ms, 100ms, 150ms, 200ms, 250ms, 300ms, 350ms and
400ms.
6.5.14 Freq Max
Frequency range corresponds to the upper range value of flow rate, or 100% of flow
percentage in other word. Maximum frequency is selectable from 1 to 5999Hz.
6.5.15 Comm Address and Baudrate
Substation address is needed when using RS485 communication. The address can be set
from 01 to 99. Baud rate is the transmission speed between main and sub station. It is selectable
from 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400bps. Remind: the baud rate must be the same as that of
the main computer.
6.5.16 EmpPipe Det.
This item is used to enable or disable the empty-pipe detector. If enabled, the meter will
force the display value, analog output and digital output to nil when the sensor pipe is not full.
6.5.17 EmpPipe Alm.
This item is to set the electrode alarm trip value. Constant current source method is
employed to measure the resistance between two electrodes. The variation of the resistance is
checked by CPU and CPU recognizes if the pipe is empty or the electrodes are contaminated.
The resistance is calculated as following:
R 1
d
where, d = electrode radius
 = Fluid conductivity
The electrodes resistance is usually between 5 to 50kΩ 。 The variation of the resistance
relates to the surface status of electrodes and variation of fluid characteristic. If the sensor is
filled with fluid, abnormal resistance signal is detected and empty pipe alarm is output.
The electrode alarm trip value is determined based on the first-time measured electrode
resistance. After the installation of the flowmeter, measure the resistance between the electrodes
when the sensor pipe is filled. Record the resistance value and take it as a basis. Usually, set the
trip value as 3 times of the original resistance recorded.
6.5.18 Hi ALM Enble
User can enable or disable the high limit alarm.
6.5.19 Hi Alm Limit
High alarm limit value is set in percentage of the upper range of flow rate. The parameter
ranges from 0% to 199.9%. The meter outputs alarm signal when the flow percentage is higher
than this value.
6.5.20 Lo Alm Enble
User can enable or disable the low limit alarm.
6.5.21 Lo Alm Limit
Low alarm limit value is set in percentage of the upper range of flow rate. The parameter
ranges from 0% to 199.9%. The meter outputs alarm signal when the flow percentage is lower
than this value.
6.5.22 Sensor S/N
Sensor serial number records the information of the sensor equipped with the converter and
ensure them match up when installing.
6.5.23 Sensor Fact.
The sensor factor is set according to the calibration sheet supplied by the manufacturer.
Usually this factor has been set up by the manufacturer before shipping. It is an important value
that determines the accuracy of measurement. Do not change it without calibration.
6.5.24 Field Mode
The converter offers three field exciting modes based on the exciting frequency. Mode 1 is
the most-commonly used one and suitable for most cases. Mode 2 and 3 are low-frequency
exciting modes and are better for large size meter to measure water. The calibration should be
taken under the same exciting mode as that used for measurement.
6.5.25 RevMeas.Enbl: Reverse Measurement Enable
If RevMeas.Enbl is set to ON, the converter displays flow and outputs signals when flow
direction is reversed. If OFF, the converter displays no flow and does not output signals when
reversing.
6.5.26 Multiplying
This item is a multiplying factor selectable from 0.0000 to 3.9999. When calculating the
flow rate and total, this factor is taken into account. It is often used to measure the flow in the
open channel. If not applied, set the value to 1.0000.
6.5.27 F. Total Set and R. Total Set
Presetting of forward and reverse total counter is designed to start counting from the existing
reading when replacing a converter or flowmeter. It provides a continuous total flow read which
is convenient for management.
6.5.28 Input Control
This menu item is set to select the function of contact input. There are three options to be
chosen from: ‘input disabled’, ‘stop totalizer’ and ‘reset totalizer’. The converter disables the
contact input if ‘input disabled’ is selected. The contact input is used to start/stop totalizer
controlled by ON/OFF switch signal if ‘stop totalizer’ function is active. If ‘reset totalizer’
function is enabled, ON (close) contact signal will clear the three internal total flow counters.
6.5.29 Clr Totalizr
Enter the ‘Totalizer Reset Password’ in this menu item and press ENTER to confirm. The
converter clears the three internal counter and restart counting if password matched.
6.5.30 Clr Tot. Key
The ‘Totalizer Reset Password’ is changeable in this menu item if Level-3 password is
entered. Remind: keep the new password in a safe place.
6.5.31 Date –y/m/d and Time-h/m/s
These items are used to change the internal real time clock if equipped.
6.5.32 Password L1 ,Password L2 and Password L3
To change the Level-1 to Level-3 passwords, use Level-4 or higher level password to enter
and change these two items.
6.5.33 Current Zero and Current Max
Adjust the current output zero point and upper range value. It is not suggested that user
make any adjustment since it has been setup to the best condition by the manufacturer.
6.5.34 Meter Factor
This factor is used by the manufacturer to normalize the excitation current and amplifier
signal of the converter. DO NOT change it.

8.4 Output Signal Wiring

The dip switch SW1 is set to ON to supply +12V power to pulse output. A 1KΩ resister is
connected to the +12V power to provide a pull-up. If external power is used, turn the switch to
OFF.

Generally, the intermediate relay needs 12V or 24V power supply E. D is a surge-absorbing
diode, which is usually embedded in the relay. If not, an external one is necessary.

9. Self-diagnostic and Troubleshooting

The converter is made by surface mount technology and is not repairable for user. Do not
open the converter case.
The self-diagnosis function of the converter is capable of displaying alarm information
except power supply or hardware failures. A ‘!’ symbol is displayed on the right corner of LCD
top-line and malfunction information can be read from the bottom-line by pressing DOWN key.
User may check the flowmeter according to the alarm information. Some examples of alarms are
given below:
Coil Alm
Elctrd Alm
EpPipe Alm
Low Alarm
High Alarm
Troubleshooting information is given below:
9.1 No display
a) Check the connection of power supply;
b) Check fuse;
c) Check the voltage of power supply;
d) Check if the LCD contrast can be adjusted. Adjust it if possible;
e) Return to base, if a) to d) are OK.
9.2 Coil Alarm
 a) Check if terminal EXT+ and EXT- are open;
b) Check if coil resistance is less than 150Ω;
c) Replace converter if a) and b) are OK.

9.3 Empty Pipe Alarm and Electrodes Alarm

a) Check if the sensor pipe is filled with fluid;
b) Check the connection of signal wiring;
c) Connect the terminal SIG1, SIG2 and SIG GND. If the alarm display disappears, it is
confirmed the converter is normal. The alarm may be caused by the bubble in the fluid;
d) For electrodes alarm, measure the resistance between two electrodes with a multimeter.
The read should be between 3 to 50kΩ. Otherwise, the electrodes are contaminated or
covered.
9.4 High Alarm
Increase the flow range.

9.5 Low Alarm

Reduce the flow range.
9.6 Inaccurate Measurement
a) Check if the sensor pipe is filled with the fluid to be measured.
b) Check the wiring;
c) Check if the sensor factor and flow zero are the same as those on the calibration sheet.

10. PACKAGING
The package includes:
The electromagnetic flowmeter ordered;
Instruction Manual;

11.TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

To prevent the flowmeter from damage in the transportation, the package should be kept in
unopened status before reaching installation site. The storage room should be satisfied with
the following conditions:
a. Rain-proof, humidity-proof;

b. Strong Vibration and Shake Avoidance

c. Temperature between -20 to +60℃, relative humidity less than 80%

12. OPERATION
Before operation, the following inspection should be done to check if:
a. There is any damage caused by transportation or installation;
b. The power used is same as the label on the flowmeter;
c. The wiring is correct.
After inspection, turn the valve on to fill the pipe up and make sure there is no leakage and
the gas inside the pipe is eliminated. Switch on the power supply and the flowmeter is ready to
use after 10 minutes warm-up.
 If there is any problem, please refer to the Section 9 for troubleshooting. If still not working
properly, contact the manufacturer immediately.
