1. Introduction
AFLO electromagnetic flowmeters offer reliable, precise and inexpensive flow measurement on all
electrically conductive liquids. Typical applications are found in all industries. E.g.:
Water sector: Potable water, treatmentof chemicals,waste waterand sludge.
Food sector:Dairyproducts,beer, wine,soft-drinks andfruit juices.
Chemicalsector:Detergents,pharmaceuticals,acids andalkalies.
Other sectors:Districtheating,paperpulpandminingslurries.
The flow measuring principle is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
Figure (1)
Ui = Whenan electricalconductoroflengthL is moved atvelocity v, perpendiculartothelines of
flux through a magneticfieldof strengthB, the voltage Ui is inducedatthe ends of the conductor
Ui = L x B x v
Ui = Induced voltage
L = Conductorlength= Inner pipediameter= k1
B = Magnetic fieldstrength= k2
v = Velocity of conductor(media)
k = k1 x k2
Ui = k x v, the electrode signal is directly proportional to the fluid velocity
1.1.SENSOR
The sensorconverts theflow into anelectricalvoltage (Ui) proportionaltothe velocity ofthe flow.
The sensoris builtupof a stainlesssteelpipe,2coils,electrodes,anisolatingliner,housing and
where applicable,connectingflanges.

6.5.1.Passwords
Grade 1 of password (set by manufacturer as 00521): users can only read parameter.
Grade 2 of password (set by manufacturer as 03210): users can change 1~24 parameters.
Grade 3 of password (set by manufacturer as 06108): users can change 1~25parameters.
Grade 4 of password (set by manufacturer as 07206): users can change 1~38parameters.
Grade 5 of password (Fixed): users can change 1~52 parameters.
Password Grade 5 can be set by skilled users. Grade 4 is mainly used for resetting total volume in password.
Grades 1~3 can be set by anyone who can be chosen by users.
6.5.2.Details Parameters
1- Language
There are 2 languages for AFLO transmitter. They can be set by users.
2- Comm Addres
It means this instrument’s address when communicates with many, and has 01~99, holding the 0.
3- Baud Rate
300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400, baud rate.
4- Snsr Size
AFLO transmitters can be equipped with some different sensors that have deferent diameter of measuring
pipes. The pipes in different diameters from 10mm to 3000mm can be chosen in relative table.
5- Flow unit
The flow unit can choose form the parameters (L/s, L/m, L/h, m3/s, m3/m, m3/h), user can choose the proper
unit according to the technological requirement and using habit.
6- Flow Range
Flow range means upper limit value, and lower limit value is set “0” automatically. So, it makes the range,
and makes the relation of percent display, frequency output and current output with flow:
Percent display = (flow measure / measure range) x 100 %;
Frequency output = (flow measure / measure range) x frequency full;
Current output = (flow measure / measure range) x current full + base point;
Pulse output will not affect.
7- Flow Rspns
It means time of filter measure value. The long one can enhance the stability of flow display and output
digital, and fits for gross add up of pulse flow; the short one means fast respond rate, and fits for production
control. It is set by select.

AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter
17
FS = ○○○○○
±○○○○○
8- Flow Direct
If users think the direct and design are different, just change the direct parameter is OK, but not change
exciting or signal.
9- Flow zero
Make sure the sensor is full of fluid, and the fluid is stable. Flow zero is shown as velocity of flow, mm/s.
Figure (20)
Converter’s zero-flow correction displays like this:
Upper small words: FS means measure value of zero;
Lower large words: correction value of zero.
When FS is not “0”, make FS = 0. Note: if change the value on next line and FS increases, please change the
“+, -” to correct FS to zero.
Flow zero is the compound value of the sensor, and should be recorded in sensor list and band. The unit will
be mm/s, and the sign will be opposite with correction value.
10-Flow cutoff
Flow cutoff is set in percentage of Upper Limit Range of flow, and users can delete all Negligible Small Signals
of flow volume, velocity and percentage out of displaying and outputting them. Sometimes user can delete
output of current output signal and frequency (pulse) output signal only to have flow, velocity and
percentage being displayed.
11-Total Unit
Converter display is counter with 9 bits, and the max is 999999999.
Integrator units are L, m3 (liter, stere,).
Flow integrator value: 0.001L, 0.010L, 0.100L, 1.000L, 0.001m3, 0.010m3, 0.100m3, 1.000m3;
12-SegmaN Ena
When “SegmaN Ena” is “enable”, if the flow flows, the sensor will export pulse and current。When it is
“disable”, the sensor will export pulse as “0” and current as “0” (4mA or 0mA) for the flow flows reversals.

AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter
18
13-Output currents
Output current types can be chosen by users as 1~10mA or 4~20mA practically.
14-Pulse Type
Two kinds of Pulse Outputs can be chosen: Frequency Output and Pulse Output. Frequency Output is
continuous square waveform and Pulse output is a serial wave of square wave. Frequency output is mainly
used for instant flow and total integrated flow in short time measurement. Frequency output can be chosen
in equivalent frequency unit and volume of integrated flow can be displayed. Frequency Output can be used
in long time measurement for total integrated flow with volume units.
Frequency output and pulse output are usually from OC gates so that DC power supplies and load resistors
have to be required.
Equivalent pulse Unit is referred to one pulse for value of flow. The range of pulse equivalent can be chosen:

1.0m3/cp
Under the same flow, the smaller pulse, the higher frequency output, and the smaller error will be. The
highest pulse output is 100cp/s.
15-Freque Max
Frequency output range is as the upper limit of flow measure, just the percent flow 100%. Frequency output
upper limit can be selected between 1～5000Hz.
16-Mtsnsr Ena
The state of empty pipe can be detected with the function of converter. In the case of Empty Pipe Alarm, if
the pipe was empty, the signals of analog output and digital output would be zero and displayed flow would
be zero, too.
17-Mtsnsr Trip
When the pipe is full of liquid (whether flowing or not), the parameter of “Mtsnsr”could be modified
more easily. The parameter displayed upper line is real MTP, and the parameter displayed bellow is the
“Mtsnsr trip”that should be set. When setting “Mtsnsr trip”, you could be according to the real MTP, the
value that should be set is usually three to five times of real MTP.

18-Alm Hi Ena
Users can choose “Enable” or “Disable”.
19-Alm Hi Val
The parameter of upper limit alarm is percentage of flow range and can be set in the way of setting one
numerical value between 0%~199.9%.When the value of flow percentage is larger than the value of setting
value, transmitter outputs the alarm signal.
20-Alm Lo Val
The same as upper limit alarm.
21-Sys Alm Ena
Selecting Enable will have the function, and selecting Disable will cancel the function.
22-Clr Sum Key
User use more than 3 byte code to enter ,Then set this password in Clr TotalRec.
23-Snsr Code
It is referred to the produced date of sensor and the serial number of product that can keep the sensors
coefficient right and accurate.
24-Sensor Fact
“Sensor Coefficient” is printed on the Label of the sensor when it is made in factory. The “sensor coefficient”
has to be set into Sensor Coefficient Parameter when it runs with converter.
25-Field Type
AFLO affords three exciting frequency types: 1/16 frequency (type 1), 1/20frequency (type 2), 1/25
frequency (type 3). The small-bore one should use 1/16 frequency, and large-bore one should use 1/20 or
1/25 frequency. When using, please select type 1 first, if the zero of velocity is too high, select the type 2 or
type 3.
Note: Demarcate on which exciting type, working on it only.
26-FwdTotal Lo、hi
Positive total volume high byte and low byte can change forth coming and reverse total value, and be used
to maintenance and instead.
User use 5 byte code to enter, and can modify the positive accumulating volume (∑+). Usually, it is unsuitable
to exceed the maximum the counter set（999999999）.
