Handling Precautions

６Ｆ８Ａ０８７０

To obtain the optimum performance from the LF600F, LF610F, LF602F and LF612F converter for years of continuous operation, observe the following precautions.

(1) Do not store or install the flowmeter in:

・

Places where there is direct sunlight.

・Places where there is snow and ice

Infrared switches may not function correctly.

・Places where excessive vibration or mechanical shock occurs.

・Places where high temperature or high humidity conditions obtain.

・Places where corrosive atmospheres exist.

・Places submerged under water.

・Places where there is a sloped floor.

To put the flowmeter temporarily on the floor,

place it carefully with something, such as a block, to support it so that the flowmeter

will not topple over.

・

Places where there is following factors.

Factors to impede infrared switch to operate properly

・Intense light such as direct sunlight and reflected sunlight by window glass or metal plate

・Place where brightness changes suddenly such as ON/OFF of lighting

・Dense smoke or steam near the control panel

・Those attached on the control panel such as rain (dew drop), snow, ice, mud and oil, and haze due to their attachment

・Light reflecting object near the control panel, or reflecting object such as metal plate placed opposing to the control panel

When any of above factors is considered, take a measure for the proper operation of infrared switch such as to place a cover or to secure a space for at least a person to stand in front of the control panel.

When unable to avoid above factors, operate the EMF converter removing the factor by covering the control panel by hand so that light does not shine on it, by cleaning those attached on the control panel, or by standing in-between the reflecting object and the control panel to block the light.

(2) Wire cables correctly and securely.

Be sure to ground at the converter side (grounding resistance 100Ω or less).

Avoid a common ground used with other equipment where earth current may flow. An

independent ground is preferable

(3) Select cable paths away from electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or radio transmitters), which causes electromagnetic or electrostatic interference.

(4) The apparatus should not be provided with the cable connections.

Please prepare yourself for the cable connections which could be used in Division2 hazardous locations.

The cable lead-in section must be tightened securely to keep air tightness.

Handling Precautions (continued)

(5) If the inside of the converter and detector's terminal box are wetted or humidified, it may cause insulation deterioration, which can result in fault or noise occurrence. So do not conduct wiring in the open air on rainy days.

Also, be careful not to wet down the converter and detector's terminal box even in the case of indoor wiring, and complete wiring work in a short period of time.

(6) Observe the following precautions when you open the converter housing cover:

• Do not open the cover in the open air unprotected against rain or wind. This can cause electric

shock

or cause

damage to the

flowmeter electronics.

•

Do not open the cover under high ambient temperature or high humidity

conditions or in corrosive atmospheres. This can cause deterioration of system

accuracy or cause damage to the flowmeter electronics.

(7) Since a varistor is built in converter, do not conduct a withstand voltage test for the

converter.

In addition, the voltage for checking the insulation of the converter must be 250VDC

or lower.

(8) This product may cause interference to radio and television sets if they are used near the installation site. Use metal conduits etc. for cables to prevent this interference.

(9) Radio transmitters such as transceivers or cellular phones may cause interference to the flowmeter if they are used near the installation site. Observe the following precautions when using them:

• Close a transmitter cover before using a transceiver.

•

Do not use a transceiver whose output power is more than 5 W.

•

Move the antenna of a transceiver or a cellular phone at least 50 cm away from the flowmeter and signal cables when using it.

• Do not use a radio transmitter or a cellular phone near the flowmeter while it is operating online. The transmitter or cellular phone’s output impulse noise may interfere with the flowmeter.

• Do not install a radio transmitter antenna near the flowmeter and signal cables.

(10) For reasons of flowmeter failure, inappropriate parameters, unsuitable cable connections or poor installation conditions, the flowmeter may not operate properly. To prevent any of these problems causing a system failure, it is recommended that you

have preventive measures designed and installed on the flowmeter signal receiving

side.

(11) For installation and connection of the converter, check the model number of

converter and read the instruction manual of the relevant converter.

* We assume no responsibility for nonconformity caused by violation of precautions described in this manual or used in violation of the installation method and the operation method stipulated in a relevant ordinance or other regulations.

2. Overview

The LF414/LF600F, LF414/LF610F and LF414 electromagnetic flowmeter can be use in the following hazardous (classified) locations.

ClassⅠ, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D,

ClassⅡ, Division 2, Groups E, F and G

ClassⅢ

This product is a converter used for electromagnetic flowmeters that measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive fluid using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

You can bring out the functions of the converter when you place it in the converter housing you prepare and use it in combination with a fluid rate measurement detector.

The converter sends out a signal to drive the detector excitation coil, which generates a magnetic field inside the detector. The converter receives the signal electromotive force obtained by the detector. The signal electromotive force is proportional to the generated flow rate in the fluid using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. After carrying out its operation, the converter converts the signal electromotive force to an analog signal output and displays the status, as a flow rate value.

Features

With a linear relationship between the flow rate and output signal, the electromagnetic flowmeter is used as an easy-to-read indicator. In addition to this feature, it has the following outstanding features:

(1) Wide flow velocity range setting, such as a flow velocity range of 0~0.1 and 0~10m/s, is achieved.

(2) The unique Noise Sentry filter circuit enables you to obtain stable output automatically.

(3) Full graphic LCD that enables display of a large amount of information

With a large amount of a maximum of 14 characters x 8 lines, you can easily set up various displays including bar graphs and alarm indications.

The backlight display allows you to read the indicator easily.

(4) Use of infrared switches

Use of infrared switches allows you to perform various operations, without opening the converter housing cover.

(5) Intelligent functions

The widely used HART protocol communications system is used as a standard feature.

This product supports PROFIBUS

*2

communication (optionally available).

* 1 HART protocol: “HART” stands for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer and is a communication protocol recommended by HCF (HART communication

Foundation) for industrial sensors.

4.1 Notes on Selecting the Installation Location

1. Avoid places within the immediate proximity of equipment producing electrical interference (such as

motors, transformers, radio transmitters, electrolytic cells, or other equipment causing

electromagnetic or electrostatic interference).

2. Avoid places where excessive pipe vibration occurs.

3. Avoid places where fluid is pumped in a pulsating manner.

4. Avoid places where there is direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use an appropriate shade

5. Avoid places where corrosive atmospheres or high humidity conditions occur.

6. Avoid places where there may be limited access such as pipes installed next to high ceilings or

constricted areas where clearance for installation or maintenance work is not provided.

7. Design piping so that the detector pipe is always filled with fluid, whether the fluid is flowing or not.

Separate

8. The detector has no adjustable piping mechanism. Install an adjustable short pipe where needed.

9. Chemical injections should be conducted on the downstream side of the flowmeter.

10. The maximum length of the cable that connects the detector and converter is 300m. Select the converter installation location so that the distance between the detector and converter does not exceed

300m.

4.2 Mounting Procedure

4.2.1 Pipe checks

(1)Before installing pipes, check for any leaning, misplacement or eccentricity as illustrated in Figure 4.1.

An attempt to unreasonably connect pipes that are inclined may lead to a detector breakdown or fluid leakage. Connecting pipes in an eccentric state may also cause wear and tear of linings and grounding rings, as well as measurement errors.

Before installing pipes, make sure to flush the interior of the pipes to remove deposited material..

3. Place the LF414 flowmeter detector between the two flange packings, with the flowmeter detector body above the two bolts. The flowmeter must be oriented in accordance with the flow direction arrow.

4. Install the two upper mounting bolts through the clearance holes in the upstream and downstream packings and flanges. Then install the remaining mounting bolts depending on the flange pattern used.

5. Thread nuts on both ends of the 4 (or more) mounting bolts, finger tight. (See Table 4.1 Bolt length and

tightening torque)

6. While centering the flowmeter with the longitudinal axis of the pipeline, tighten the nuts with a

wrench diagonally across in even increments. (See Table 4.1 Bolt length and tightening torque)

Note that the flowmeter detector pipe axis must be aligned with the pipeline axis on both upstream and downstream sides. This is essential to have stable characteristics of flow measurement (especially for flowmeters with meter sizes of 50 mm or less).

IMPORTANT

When high-temperature fluid is being measured, radiant heat from the detector pipe surface and adjoining pipes may cause the ambient temperature of the converter to go above 60 °C. If the ambient temperature goes above 60° C, try to lower the temperature by measures such as wrapping heat-insulating materials over the detector pipe and adjoining pipes.

Notes on wiring

CAUTION

(1) Select the cable runs away from electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or radio

transmitters) which causes electromagnetic or electrostatic interference.

(2) Deterioration of flowmeter circuit insulation occurs if the converter interior or cable ends get wet or humidified. This in turn causes malfunction of flowmeter or noise problems. Avoid a rainy day if

the flowmeter is to be installed outdoors. Even indoors, prevent water from splashing over the flowmeter. Try to finish the wiring as quickly as possible

(3) The converter has an arrestor installed inside. Therefore, do not conduct a withstand voltage test

for the converter. To check the insulation of the converter, use a voltage of 250Vdc or less.

(4) After wiring, be sure to install the terminal block protection cover.

Separate

(5) Because the excitation cable and flow rate signal cable transmit very delicate signals, pass each of them separately through a thick steel conduit tube, keep them away from the large current wiring as far as possible, and do not install them in parallel.

7.1 Maintenance

„ Cleaning

„ Adhesion might be created in the detectore over a long period of time when used on certain

materials.

Try to confirm whether to cause the adhesion in the detector pipe when the phenomenon is seen, and and an abnormality (ex. decreasing indication, etc.) is confirmed.

Please clean with a soft brush etc. and remove any unnecessary build up inside the meter. When using it in the line to which such a phenomenon occurs easily, it is recommended that the detector pipe be cleaned regularly.

Use new gaskets when reinstalling the flowmeter detector in the pipeline.

„ Mag-Prover Built-In Calibrator

The converter LF60*F and LF61*F has a built-in reference signal calibration and verification circuit that allows you to re-verify the original magmeter flow lab calibration without the need for external devices. This reference signal

can be used to check the zero and span of the converter for the purpose of instrumentation maintenance

or periodical inspection. Refer to combined converter's manual.

„ Operative life

The operative life of this flowmeter is 10 years from the date of shipment.

The life of the flowmeter differs depending on the environmental conditions and the way it was used. To extend the life of the flowmeter, inspect the flowmeter periodically and clean or replace components if necessary.

8. Principle of Operation

The operating principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction and it is designed to measure the volumetric flow rate of fluid. An insulated pipe of diameter D is placed vertically to the direction of a magnetic field with flux density B (see Figure 14.1).

When an electrically conductive fluid flows in the pipe, an electrode voltage E is induced between a pair of electrodes placed at right angles to the direction of magnetic field.

The electrode voltage E is directly proportional to the average fluid velocity V.

The following expression is applicable to the voltage.

E = induced electrode voltage [V]

E = K × B × D × V [V] ........ (Eq. 14.1)

Volumetric flow rate Q [m

3

/s] is:

π × D²

Q = × V ................(Eq. 14.2)

4

Using the Equation 14.1 and 14.2

E = K × B × D × × Q

π × D²

E = × Q ............(Eq. 14.3)

π × D

K = constant

B = magnetic flux density [T]

D = meter pipe diameter [m]

V = fluid velocity [m/s]

Therefore, volumetric flow rate is directly proportional to the induced voltage.

Square-Wave Excitation

Figure 8.1 Principle of Operation

The LF414/LF600F, LF414/LF610F and LF414 uses the square-wave excitation method, which provides long-term stable operation. With square-wave excitation, the LF414/LF600F, LF414/LF610F and LF414 offers reliable measurement without being affected by electrostatic or electromagnetic interference, or electrochemical polarization between the electrodes and the fluid to be measured.
