1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
The series 10D1477 CK-MAGMagnetic Flowmeter is an electro-magnetic liquid flow rate detector.
The meter uses the characteristics of a conductive liquid to generate an induced signal voltage,
directly proportional to flow rate, as the liquid passes capacitively coupled measuring electrodes. The
resultant voltage is applied to a solid state electronics package that conditions it to an output signal
compatible with conventional receiving equipment.
The standard meter design provides a compact, very low power, obstructionless primary metering
element that bolts between flanges in a process pipeline. Pressure losses in this type of meter are
reduced to levels occurring in equivalent lengths of equal diameter pipeline, thus reducing or
conserving pressure source requirements as compared to other metering methods. The compact size
of the meter results in a light-weight unit that requires no additional support other than that normally
used on pipe runs.
The Series 10D1477 CK-MAG complies with 3-A Sanitary Standards For Flowmeters For Milk and
Milk Products, Number 28-03*. As an option, for 3-A Sanitary applications, the CK-MAG can be
supplied with TRI-CLAMP®sanitary adaptors for connection to the customer’s sanitary tubing
system.
This Flowmeter can be used to meter either clean or dirty liquids. The meter may be used without
regard to the heterogeneous consistency of the measured liquid and is as independent of the
tendency to plug or foul as the pipeline in which it is mounted. By design, the ceramic spool of the
meter body is wetted (electrodes are non-wetted). This design will accommodate most acids, bases,
water and aqueous solutions.
Viscosity and density of the metered liquid have no effect on the measurement accuracy of the meter
and, therefore, signal compensation is not required. Metering limitations are confined to a minimum
threshold of electrical conductivity inherent to the liquid being metered. The degree of liquid conduc-
tivity has no effect upon the metering accuracy (as long as it is greater than the minimum level). The
liquid temperature and pressure are limited to the meter material specification limit.
The meter body is a sealed section that bolts between the customer’s pipe line flanges. The
measuring electrodes are encased behind the metering tube. For accurate results, the meter bore
diameter must be centered in the pipeline. For the larger size meters, spacer sleeves are slipped
over the flange mounting bolts. The smaller size meters use a unique centering device to center the
meter. The centering device is shown in Figure 2-6.
* 3-A Sanitary Standards are formulated by the International Association of Food Industry Suppliers (IAFIS), the International
Association for Food Protection (IAFP), the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and the Dairy Industry Committee
(DIC). The 3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. Administrative Council verifies compliance to these standards and authorizes the
use of the 3-A Symbol.

With the exception of the CMF/BUFFER board, the associated electronics package is called the
signal converter and is remotely mounted. Figure 1-1 shows the electronics housing used in conjunc-
tion with a remote signal converter.
The remote mounted signal converter is beneficial for:
1) high vibration areas
2) high process temperatures
The Signal Converter contains a magnet driver unit that is used to power the meter’s magnet coils.
The steady state magnetic field principle, referred to as the MAG-X design concept, provides
optimum zero point stability at an optimized frequency which is a submultiple of the power line
frequency.
For additional information on the electrical operation of the meter refer to Section 4.0 Functional
Description in this instruction manual and the instruction manual supplied with the signal converter.

should not exceed 100o C when increasing the temperature,
or 70oC when cooling, to prevent cracking. For example, if the ce-
ramic is at a temperature of 20o C, liquids at 120o C can safely be
handled. However, if the liquid temperature is 120oC, the ceramic
spool should be stabilized for approximately 5 minutes at 60o C be-
fore allowing it to decrease to 20oC. This is especially important
when following SIP* (Steam-in-place) procedures.
* SIP procedures per pharmaceutical industry.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Inspection
All Model 10D1477 CK-MAG magnetic flowmeters are shipped in heavy duty containers. The packag-
ing used for CK-MAG protection is certified for air shipment by the Container Testing Laboratory. An
itemized list of all items included in the shipment is attached to the shipping container.
The shipment will generally consist of the magnetic flowmeter and appropriate mounting hardware kit
and a remote mounted signal converter with a 30 foot (9 m) long interconnection cable. (Signal cable
lengths up to 100 feet (30 m) can be supplied, when specified.)
The mounting hardware kit for the standard CK-MAG includes:
1) 4 (or 8) threaded studs and nuts,
2) 2 gaskets, and
3) appropriate flange adapter components, if specified.
NOTE
The centering device (see Figure 2.7) or adapter sleeves (see Fig-
ure 2-7) required for the particular meter installation are supplied
with all US orders.
When a sanitary CK-MAG is specified, it is provided with TRI-CLAMP sanitary adapters assembled
to the meter with all stainless steel (studs and nuts) hardware as shown in Figures 2-3 and 2-4.
Inspect all items included in the shipment immediately for indications of damage which may have
occurred during shipment. All damage claims should be reported to the shipping agent involved
before attempting to install or operate the equipment.
The proper use of the items included in the mounting hardware kit and the proper employment of
them during installation is necessary to maintain a valid instrument warranty. (An installation and
warranty tag is furnished with the mounting hardware kit that provides the basic information essential
for proper meter installation.)
Following inspection of the shipment contents, it is suggested that all items be carefully replaced in
the shipping container for transit to the installation site. The use of normal care in the handling and
installation of this equipment will contribute substantially toward satisfactory performance.

2.2 Location
The Flowmeter is suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. When selecting the installation
site, consideration should be given to the ambient and process temperature limits, as stated in
Specifications Section 1.3. The standard meter is rated NEMA 4X, (dust tight and watertight) and will
therefore withstand rain and hose down. If flooding is a problem, the optional "Accidental Submer-
gence" flowmeter is suited for applications where occasional submergence to 30 ft H2O/48 h
(9 m H2O/48 h) may occur.
For proper operation, it is recommended that the meter not be installed within the immediate
proximity of heavy induction equipment such as pumps, motors, etc.
Outline dimensions of the flowmeter are given in Figures 2-1 through 2-4. When applicable, allow
access for occasional servicing of the flowmeter primary. At least 5 inches of overhead clearance is
required for cover removal.
The installation site must be provided with a source of 120 V ac, 50/60 Hz (220/240 V ac, 50/60 Hz
optional) single phase line power. Power requirements for the particular magnetic flowmetering
system are given on the instrument data tag. The power source must have an external disconnect
and suitable fuse (or circuit breaker) as shown on the applicable interconnection diagram. System
interconnection diagrams are provided in the instruction manual supplied with the particular signal
converter.
2.3 Mounting
2.3.1 Meter Orientation
The Model 10D1477 CK-MAG magnetic flowmeter may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping
pipe runs. However, precautions must be taken to assure that the meter is filled at all times during
measurement. A vertical installation, with the pipe line carrying liquid upwards, assures a filled
hydraulic line under low flow rate conditions and also minimizes wear on the metering tube by
abrasive grit. Horizontal installations should be made with the meter in the lower section of a pipeline
to assure a filled meter condition.
The electronic housing of the meter should be top oriented for horizontal or sloping installations. This
aligns the meter electrodes in a lateral plane, a position that eliminates the possibility of entrained air
acting as an electrode insulator. Electrodes must not be on "top" when the meter is horizontally
mounted.
The CK-MAG magnetic flowmeter must be oriented in accordance with the direction of process flow,
as indicated by the FLOW arrow on the meter data tag. Elbows should be located a minimum of three
pipe diameters upstream from the meter. Control valves should be located on the downstream side
of the meter. Control valves upstream of the meter can create turbulence that result in air pockets
and may effect the meter’s accuracy or cause its output to be noisy. If for some reason the control
valve cannot be located downstream from the meter, a minimum of ten pipe diameters upstream are
required between the meter and the control valve. The requirements for control valves also applies to
pumps. Pipe diameters are measured from the centerline of the meter to the nearest edge of the
device, as shown in Figure 2-5. For higher accuracy requirements, use twice the number of pipe
diameters referenced. See Figure 2-5 for recommended piping diagram.
