1. BASIC INFORMATION
Electromagnetic flowmeters of the type series FLONET FH30xx (for normal operating environment) and
FLONEX FXx11x (for explosive atmospheres) are meters intended for bi-directional measurement of
volume flow rates of conductive liquids in a fully flooded piping. The flow velocity range is 0.025 –10m/s
and the minimum conductivity of the measured fluid is 10 μS/cm, for de-mineralised water 20 μS/cm.
This manual contains a detailed description of the meter commissioning procedure and instructions for
meter control on the user level.
The flowmeters are supplied verified as to their functions, calibrated and with the output parameters set
according to the order number specifications and other customer requirements (if any).
Instructions regarding the order number specifications can be found in the meter manuals supplied with the
products:
Electromagnetic flowmeter FLONET FH30xx –section 15
Electromagnetic flowmeter for application in explosive atmospheres FLONEX FXx11x –section 15
Information on the meter parameter setting is included in the delivery note of every
flowmeter.
Provided the meter is installed on site in observance of all instructions and directions in the manual, it will
be ready for immediate operational start.

(if an error is indicated, its code will be shown next to the flow rate figure)
Aggregate flow volume passed through the meter in the positive direction
Aggregate flow rate passed through the meter in the negative direction
Shown in the top section of the display will be a bar graph relating the current volume flow rate to the
specified maximum flow rate.
4.2. Basic screen
4.3. Front panel and control buttons
4.3.1. Display unit
The flowmeter includes a colour OLED display of 128x64 pixels providing visual information to the user on
all measured quantities, meter parameter settings and important operational information. The display
control is facilitated by four optical buttons (optical reflex sensors).

5. FLOWMETER CONTROL
5.1. Manual control
Manual meter control and selection of menu items using optical buttons do not require any special skills;
these functions are intuitive and user friendly.
5.1.1. Basic screen
Basic screen always shows information on current / instantaneous flow rate (lines 1 and 2).
The remaining two lines are reserved for supplementary data the user may select from the menu Display.
The meter is supplied with these two lines pre-set to show the aggregate flow volumes passed through the
meter sensor in the positive and negative directions. The volume figure alternates with the selected volume
unit.
Should the flowmeter identify a condition that might adversely affect the meter functions, next to the
magnitude of the instantaneous flow rate on line 1 will appear the respective error code. In cases of a
major error that might significantly affect the measurement precision, displayed in the data field reserved
for the flow rate data will be a zero. This applies to situations such as ADC failure, open or short-circuited
excitation, not fully flooded piping, strong electromagnetic interference and others.

Example:
A user has selected for display of instantaneous flow rate values the unit of m3/hour and wishes to set the
100% flow rate value at 150 m3/hour.
The above table gives the conversion coefficient between 1 m3/hour and litres per second 2.777778E-01.
The value to be set as the menu item 100% therefore is:
150 x 2.777778E-01 = 4.1666666E+01 (l/s).

Impulse number determination
The values of fluid volume per impulse (the impulse number) shall always be specified in litres per second.
The limiting conditions for impulse output parameters:
The maximum frequency of impulse output: fmax = 100Hz
The idle period between impulses Mshall be equal to or wider than the impulse width P.
Breaching this condition will result in an error message (E10, E11).
For impulse width it holds:
M  P

In selecting the impulse number, the following conditions shall be met:
Qmax
≤
3.6 × V × fmax
(m3/h, l/imp, imp/s)
Where: Q… fluid flow rate (m3/hour)
V… fluid volume per impulse (l)
P… impulse width (s)
f … impulse output frequency (Hz)
T… cycle length (s)
Volume Vper impulse is usually selected from the options shown in the following table:
V (l)
0.001
0.01
0.1
1
10
100
1,000
10,000
In cases of electronic determination of the fluid volume passed through the sensor, the impulse
width is recommended to be set at Pmin= 5ms, which meets the condition for fmax at the impulse
output equal to 100Hz. In cases of electro-mechanical counters, Pmin is usually set at 50ms,
corresponding to the maximum frequency at the impulse output of 10Hz.
Example:
Assume that a user specified for their flowmeter of DN100 the maximum operating flow rate:
Qmax = 150 m3/h (Qmax = 41.66 l/s … v = 5.3 m/s)
For the fluid volume corresponding to one impulse (of length 5ms, fmax 100Hz) it holds:
By selecting the next higher impulse number from the above table (1 litre per impulse) the user will make
sure that the impulse output frequency will not exceed (for the specified Qmax of 150 m3/hour) the value of
100Hz and, at the same time, verify the selection of the impulse length (5ms). The user may choose the V
values other than those from the basic selection in the above table, e.g. 0.5 litres/impulse.
Should the volume flow rate and the aggregate volume passed through the meter be given in units
outside the SI system (e.g. US gallons), the fluid volume per impulse should be converted to litres
using the table in section 5.1.4.2.2. The parameter of fluid volume per impulse shall then be
determined with respect to the maximum frequency at the impulse output and the type of
measuring system used.
