4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS H250
Power supply 3W2 with galvanic isolation
Wiring must be planned with great care when it comes to connecting other devices such as
evaluation units or process control. Internal connections in these devices (e.g. GND with PE,
mass loops) may lead to non-permitted voltage potentials which could negatively affect the
function of the converter itself or that of a device connected to it. In such cases a protected extra-
low voltage (PELV) is recommended.

H250 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4
Power supply
INFORMATION!
The supply voltage has to be between 12 VDC and 30 VDC. This is based on the total resistance of
the measuring loop. To calculate this, the resistance of each component in the measuring loop
(not including the device) must be added together).
The required supply voltage can be calculated using the formula below:
Uext. = RL * 22 mA + 12 V
where
Uext. = minimum supply voltage
RL = total measuring loop resistance
INFORMATION!
The power supply has to be able to supply a minimum of 22 mA.
Current output adjustment

• A fine adjustment of the current output can be performed using the ZERO and SPAN
adjustment screws of the KINAX 3W2 angular position transmitter.
• For adjustment of 4.00 mA, the pointer must be set to RP on the scale. 4.00 mA can be set
using ZERO.
• For adjustment of 20.00 mA, the pointer must be set to 100% flow rate value of the scale.
20.00 mA can be set using SPAN.
• Instead of manual adjustment of the pointer, the flow rate values ??0 and 100% can be set for
the adjustment.

7 TECHNICAL DATA H250
7.1 Measuring principle

The H250 flowmeter operates on the float measuring principle. The measuring unit consists of a
metal cone in which a float can move freely up and down. The flow goes from bottom to top.
The float changes position so that the lifting force acting on it A is in equilibrium with the form
drag W and its weight G: G = A + W.
