Introduction
Liquid Controls offers a broad selection of electromagnetic
(Mag) flow meters for industrial, water, and waste water
flow measurement applications, worldwide. The LCMag
family consists of seven sensor models for specific
applications. The models include micro-flow, wafer,
sanitary, flanged, pipe clamp, and insertion meters. The
units are offered in a wide variety of sizes, materials, and
flow ranges for many industrial and OEM applications.
The LCMag family of electromagnetic flow meters offers
the best solution for measuring the flow of electrically
conductive liquids (5µS/cm minimum), for the following
reasons:
• Accuracy is not affected by fluid characteristics such
as viscosity, density, temperature, or suspended
solids.
• No moving parts.
• Virtually no pressure drop.
• Clean-in-place construction (HMS501 and HMS2410
with remote converter only).
• Minimal maintenance.
• Easy to install and operate.
• Wide range of nominal diameters from 1/8" to 72".
• Wide range of flow rates from as low as 0.1 GPM to
as high as 400,000 GPM.
• Automatic, dual flow range capability.
• Broad selection of liners, electrode materials, and
process connections.
• High, full-scale accuracy, ±0.2% over a 10:1 range
(for liquid velocity greater than 4 ft/second) with some
sensor/converter combinations.
LCMag meters are available in a full selection of
configurations and sizes. Models are available in flow
ranges from 0.10 GPM to 400,000 GPM and in process
fittings from 1/8" NPT to 72" flanged meters and up to 80"
for insertion meters. Connections include flanged,
threaded, wafer, pipe clamp, and sanitary. A scaled, digital
pulse output is standard. A wide range of additional outputs
are available. These include: analog (0–20mA or 4–20mA)
serial (RS-232 or RS-485), relays, Profibus DP, additional
inputs, and data logger.
HML210 mounted on an HMS2500 Flange Sensor
The HML210 Converter is for use with all HMS series
flow sensors (except HMS600 and HMS5000). The
converter is a programmable, microprocessor-driven unit
providing automatic zeroing, EEPROM data protection on

Wiring Instructions
Sensor to Converter Connection
There are several options for the Sensor to Converter
interface.
• HML210 Converter mounted integrally on the sensor
(compact).
• HML210 Converter mounted remotely from the
sensor (remote). This requires cable assemblies
C015 and C016.
• HML210 Converter mounted remotely from the
sensor in a panel (remote).
If the HML210 is mounted remotely from the sensor, the
following guidelines must be adhered to:
• Maximum distance from the HML210 to the sensor
is 30 ft for fluids with a conductivity less than 200µS
(micro siemens).
• Maximum distance from the HML210 to the sensor
is 65 ft for fluids with a conductivity greater than
200µS.
For applications where these conditions are not met, a
preamplifier is required. This mounts directly on top of
the sensor. With a preamplifier installed, the maximum
distance from the sensor to the HML210 is 1,640 ft
(500m).
NOTE: For proper installation, the cables must be ordered
with the unit. User supplied cables may void warranty
coverage and could affect the functioning of the meter.

ND=mm is the Nominal Diameter (in millimeters) for the
sensor. This value can be found on the sensor
nameplate. Enter this value using the keypad. Enter a
value between 3 and 2000 (1/8" to 80").
NOTE: If ND= is set to “0”, the display will show the
velocity of the liquid through the sensor, but the totalizers
will not be valid.
KA= represents the signal amplification value. It is
calculated during sensor calibration. This value is on
the sensor nameplate. Verify that this value matches
the one on the nameplate. If it doesn’t, enter the correct
value (between ±0.5000 to ±9.9999) using the keypad.
KL=+, KL=- are coefficients used for improving low end
accuracy of the sensor. These values are factory set
and should not be adjusted. The default value for both
of these fields is “0”.
Cable len.= is the length of the cable (in meters) used to
connect the converter to the sensor. The converter
accepts values in multiples of 10 meters. Enter a value
that represents this cable length. If the converter is
mounted directly to the sensor (compact), set this value
to “000”.
E.P.detect= is a function that enables the empty pipe
detection feature. To determine the empty/full pipe
condition, the signal is analyzed within a one second
window. This setting toggles between ON and OFF.
Select the desired option with the keypad.
NOTE: E.P. detect should remain off until a calibration
of this function is performed on site ad sidrected in
E.P.calibr.
1-SENSOR
When the converter detects an empty pipe condition, the
following occurs:
•“EMPTY PIPE”will display on the screen.
• An empty pipe alarm output will occur if assigned to
one of the outputs (Out1 or Out2).
• Flow rate indicator will show “0”.
• Flow totalizers will stop incrementing.
When the pipe fills again, EMPTY PIPE will disappear
from the screen, the alarm output will reset, flow rate will
display a flow rate, and the totalizers will continue
counting from where they left off.
Autozero cal. is used to initiate the automatic zero
calibration function.
NOTE: It is necessary to perform this function at start-
up or if the sensor has been empty for a long period
of time.
To perform automatic zero calibration, it is absolutely
necessary that the sensor be full of liquid and that the
liquid is not moving. Even minute movements of liquid
will affect autozero calibration and the accuracy of this
calibration. Once these conditions are obtained, proceed
with autozero calibration.
With the selection bar on Autozero cal. press .
Check to ensure that the percentage flow rate value
stabilizes around zero. If it does not, repeat the operation
again. When the value stabilizes around zero, press .
NOTE: If the unit does not stabilize around zero, check
to ensure the converter and sensor are properly
connected to a dedicated earth ground.
E.P.calibr.is used to calibrate the converter for the empty
pipe detection function.
Before performing empty pipe calibration, the sensor
must be completely filled with liquid so that the lining and
electrodes are wetted. The sensor then must be emptied.
When this is accomplished, press the key. The
display will replace E.P.calibr. with “EXECUTE?”. Press
the key to confirm the operation or to cancel
the operation. The display will flash “DONE”when it is
complete.
To enable this function after calibration, select E.P.detect
and change to “ON”.

Programming Functions
Fs1= is the full scale value for the sensor connected to
the converter. There are four fields to select to set this
parameter. From left to right these are:
1. Volume Unit of Measure (gal)
2. Type of Unit (/)
3. Time Unit of Measure (m)
4. Numeric Value of Full Scale Measure (099.99)
STEP 1: With the selection bar on Fs1, press to
gain access to the four fields. Move the cursor to “/”
using the key and press the key to change the
type of unit of measure. The options are metric, British
or American, mass, or volume units.
When scrolling through the four options, the following
will be displayed:
oz/ :select for non-metric mass units
l/ :select for metric volume units
kg/ :select for metric mass units
in³/ :select for non-metric volume units
Scroll to the desired option and press to accept the
value, to move to the next field, or to move to
the previous field.
STEP 2: Selection of the “/” field changes the options for
the unit of measure field. Selecting the time base field
changes the available options of the unit of measure field
as well. Therefore, after selection of the “/” field, set the
time base field by pressing once.
The options for time base are:
s:per second
m:per minute
h:per hour
d:per day
Make the selection and press twice to move to the
first field to set the unit of measure. The options available
are determined by the rate base and type of unit already
selected. The following tables contain the available units
of mass and volume.
STEP 3: With the three fields selected, proceed to
program the full scale value. Press to move to the
first digit of the numeric value representing full scale for
the sensor connected. Use to scroll through 0-9 for
each position. When the full scale value has been
entered, press to exit the field.
NOTE: The converter accepts any kind of combination
of units of measure satisfying both the following
conditions:
• Numeric field value i s ≤99999.
•1/25 fsmax ≤numeric field value ≤fsmax.
Where fsmax is the maximum full scale value
corresponding to the sensor, equal to a 10m/sec liquid
velocity.
NOTE: It is recommended that this value be set
approximately 10% above the desired maximum flow
rate. If the Fs1 value is reached, an alarm appears on
the display: “FLOW RATE>FS”.
