1.0 Oval Flowmeter Series 9900
1.1 Description
The Brodie 9900 Series Oval Flowmeter/
Transmitter with Smart Meter Manager (SMM) is
a very high accuracy, positive displacement meter
which utilizes microprocessor based electronics
to provide multivariable flow computation and
output for volumetric and mass measurement
requirements. It is designed for use in the
chemical, industrial, food and beverage,
pharmaceutical and hydrocarbon process
industries.
One of the most significant features of these
meters is their ability to handle both low and high
viscosity products with a low pressure drop
across the meter. They are supplied in a
compact, 3-piece design which uses both front
and rear flanges instead of the closed-end body
configuration found in traditional oval flowmeters.
Available sizes are 1/2" through 3".
“Smart Meter Manager inside” best defines the
Brodie 9900 Oval Flowmeter/Transmitter. Past
products have only delivered simple square
wave pulse outputs that represented raw
unfactored meter pulses (K-Factors).
K-Factors require additional processing by a
secondary piece of electronics to convert to
engineering units or factored 4-20 mA analog
output. The need for secondary electronics,
additional wiring and power supplies can be
eliminated by using the SMM. The Smart Meter
Manager (SMM) is a multivariable flow computer
that fits inside the standard Brodie UMB
(Universal Mounting Box). Because the SMM
only requires 4-20 mA loop power it hooks up as
a simple 2-wire transmitter. The SMM expands
the capability of the Oval to include factored 2-
wire, 4-20 mA output, and with ATC (Automatic
Temperature Compensation) the once simple K-
Factor now represents both corrected volume
and mass flow. This can be in the form of a 4-20
mA output, gross total and/or inventory total. In
addition, transistor contacts provide scaled pulse
outputs in both net and gross values. An
additional contact provides an alarm output. This
expanded capability is enhanced by HART’S
communications and the ability to use the
standard 275 HART Communicator.

1.3 Principle of Operation - Oval
Flowmeter
The Oval Flowmeter accurately measures liquid
flow by using a slight pressure differential to
rotate a pair of oval gears located within the
measuring chamber. Each complete rotation of
the gears (rotors) displaces a fixed amount of
liquid from the inlet to the outlet of the meter in a

4444444
4
4
continuous flow pattern. When in the position as
shown in Figure 1.1, Diagram 1, all of the driving
torque resulting from differential pressure is
applied to Gear A. Gear B has zero driving
torque since equal areas of gear surface on
opposite sides of the axis of rotation are exposed
to higher inlet pressure. As the gears begin to
rotate (Diagram 2), the torque applied to Gear A
decreases but Gear B now has driving torque
due to increased area exposed to the high
pressure. At the position shown in Diagram 3, all
of the driving torque is exerted on Gear B and
Gear A has decreased to zero. This alternate
driving action provides a smooth rotation of
almost constant torque without dead spots.
Because the amount of slippage between the
oval gears and measuring chamber wall is
minimal, the meter is essentially unaffected by
the viscosity and lubricity of liquids being
metered.

2.4 Installation - Mechanical
Warning
Do not operate this instrument in excess of the
specifications listed in Section 1. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury
and/or damage to the equipment.
1. Align the piping.
2. Remove the protective covering from the
meter inlet and outlet.
3. Install the meter with the arrows on the meter
body pointing in the direction of flow.
Caution
The rotor shafts must be horizontal. If the shafts
are vertical (on end) the meter will be damaged.
4. For flanged meters, use the standard gaskets
used in the system. First tighten the flange
bolts hand-tight. Then tighten the bolts with a
wrench in a diagonal pattern to keep the
flanges parallel.
2.5 Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Some of the equipment covered by this manual
has electronic components that are sensitive to
static electricity. Charges too low to be
measured can damage, or lead to premature
failure. Such equipment is noted by the ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) symbol.

Caution
Observe and follow ESD protection procedures
when in contact with printed circuit boards or
devices.
1. Disconnect line power and output cable from
the transmitter.
2. Ground yourself, such as with a wrist
grounding strap, using a 1 megohm resistor
for personal protection.
3. Before using tools with a nonconductive
handle, touch both the handle and metallic part
to be sure complete electrostatic discharge of
the tool.
4. Place the board on a grounded, conductive
work surface or make certain that it and
everything that may contact it is brought to
ground potential.
5. Store boards in conductive, antistatic
containers. Do not store boards in
nonconductive, plastic bags.
2.6 Installation - Electrical
Caution
CE Compliance: Shielded cable must be used in
installation:
• Loop power (4 to 20 mA) cable must provide 100% shield
coverage. Units were tested with Belden 9844 cable which
is recommended
• Optically isolated or Dry Contact pulse inputs may be run
in the same cable as the Loop.The customer's pulse driver
circuits should conform to CE-MARK requirements. Note
that the low level pulse inputs (Wiegand, Amorphous,
Reluctance, etc.) are intended to be driven by sensor
contained within the meter housing.
• Optically isolated outputs (pulses, alarms, etc.) may be
run in the same cable as the Loop and pulse inputs.The
customer's receiver circuits should conform to CE-MARK
requirements.
Conduit or Cable Glands must provide RFI shielding over
360°.
Units must be properly earthed in accordance with local
codes using the lugs provided.
Transmitter electrical installation consists of
connecting power, output and accessory wiring to
the Smart Meter Manager is in the universal
mounting box on top of the oval gear meter.
A. Analog Output or Power Wiring
The analog output can be programmed to
represent one of four variables:
• gross volumetric flow,
• net (temperature compensated) volumetric flow
• mass flow, or
• process temperature
Your SMM is programmed as noted on the order
acknowledgment and packing slip. SMM
variables can be reprogrammed in the field.
Programming instructions are in Section 3. The
analog output can be left at the default values if it
is not used.
For applications in which the SMM is powered by
the 4 to 20 mA output loop, connect the wiring to
the SMM as shown in Figure 2.1. For
applications in which the analog output is not
used and/or for multidrop applications connect a
24 Volt power supply to the SMM as shown in
Figure 2.2. Use shielded cable of sufficient size
to handle the power required by the system. A
minimum wire size of 20 gage is recommended.
Analog output systems must adhere to the
following:
1. For intrinsically safe Division 1 applications,
the safety barrier, cable, and power supply
must be suitable for the SMM electrical
characteristics shown in Figures 2-3 through
2-5.
2. For Division 2 applications, a barrier is not
required.The NEC (National Electrical Code)
requires conduit for wire protection.
3. Use shielded cable. Connect the shield to
chassis ground at the transmitter end. Do not
connect the shield at the receiver end, but trim
and tape it. Insulation of the shield at the
receiving end is especially important for
intrinsically safe installations.
4. The power supply voltage limits the maximum
loop resistance as shown in Figure 1.2.
5. The NEC requires conduit seals within 18
inches of the electrical housing.

Caution
Because this unit uses an intrinsically safe
sensor circuit, an earth ground must be supplied
to meet the hazardous area certification.
B. Pulse (Frequency) Outputs
The SMM has two pulse outputs. The outputs are
optically-isolated transistors that can be
connected in a common collector or common-
emitter fashion. A typical wiring diagram for a
single-phase, open-collector pulse output is
shown in Figure 2.6.
C. RTD Inputs
For applications requiring a process fluid
temperature input, install the RTD (Resistance
Temperature Detector) in accordance with the
manufacturer’s literature. Connect the RTD
output cable to the SMM as shown in Figure 2.7.
Because this is a low-power signal it is sensitive
to EMI and RFI. Therefore, use shielded cable of
size specified by the manufacturer. Do not
bundle the RTD cable with power wiring. A 4-wire
RTD is the most accurate because it nulls out the
effects of lead-wire resistance from disturbing the
process temperature reading. If the 4th wire is not
available, then a jumper wire must be installed
between Pins 1 and 2. If this is done, you must
configure a variable within the SMM to request
that a site-measured leadwire resistance (R-
offset) be subtracted from the RTD ohms reading
prior to calculation of the observed process
temperature.
D. Alarm Outputs
An open collector alarm can be programmed to
represent a number of variables. Programming
instructions are in Section 3.
For a typical open collector alarm, connect the
digital output wiring as shown in Figure 2-6.
