1. Introduction
Product Description
The 47 or 48 Series Magnetic Flow Transmitter, together with a 4700S Series Sanitary Magnetic
Flowtube form an easy-to-use, versatile Sanitary Magnetic Flowmeter. The flowmeter is a
microprocessor-based magnetic flow system for use with most common conductive liquids used
in sanitary process applications. The transmitter converts the low level, high impedance signal
from the lined flowtube to a standard scaled transmission signal (4 to 20 mA, digital, or pulse)
that is proportional to volumetric flow rate. Typical applications are found in the following
industries.
• Water sector: Portable water, treatment of chemicals, waste water and sludge
• Food sector: Dairy products, beer, wine, soft-drinks and fruit juices
• Chemical sector: Detergents, pharmaceuticals, acids and alkalies
• Other sectors HVAC, paper pulp and mining slurries

Flowmeters feature a unique PROM memory unit which stores flowtube calibration data and
transmitter settings for the life of the product. At commissioning, the flowmeter commences
measurement without any initial programming.
The factory settings matching the flowtube are stored in the SENSORPROM® unit. Also user-
specified settings are downloaded to the SENSORPROM unit. If the transmitter is replaced, the
new transmitter uploads all previous settings and resumes measurement without any need for
reprogramming.

flowmeter, as listed below:

The error system The error system is divided into an error pending list and a status log list. Time
is gained as days, minutes and hours since the error has occurred. The first nine standing errors
are stored in error pending. When an error is removed, it is removed from error pending. The
latest nine errors are stored in the status log. When an error is removed, it is still kept in the status
log. Errors in the status log are stored for 180 days.
Error pending and status log are accessible when enabled in the operator menu.

4. Service
Often problems with unstable/wrong measurements occur due to insufficient/wrong earthing or
potential equalization. Please check this connection. If OK, the transmitter can be checked as
follows.

Check List
When checking your electromagnetic flowmeter installation for a malfunction, the easiest method
to check the transmitter is to replace it with another Model 47 or 48 Transmitter with a similar
power supply.
A replacement can easily be done as all settings are stored in and downloaded from the
SENSORPROM unit - no extra settings need to be made.
If no spare transmitter is available - then check transmitter per Figure 22.
