1. GENERAL
Electromagnetic flowmeters operate on the basis of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. When a
conductive liquid flows through the magnetic field applied perpendicular to the direction of flow, an
electromotive force (EMF) is induced proportionally to the average velocity of flow according to Faraday's law. A
pair of electrodes located on the flow tube wall picks up the induced EMF which is then amplified in the
transmitter to determine the volumetric flow rate.
FEATURES
(1) Easy handling and low pressure loss contribute to low cost of installation and operation of the flowmeter,
providing excellent cost-effectiveness.
(2) Four kinds of electrodes are available for wetted area. Application to highly corrosive liquids is also
supported.
(3) In addition to magnet handling on the site, monitoring, various kinds of setting change, logging, loop test,
and self-diagnosis are available.
(4) Wide measuring range starting from zero.

2. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Although this flowmeter is built and adjusted exactly to meet the customer specifications and, it is ready to
operate in your service by turning on the power, it is desirable for the operator to read this instruction manual
carefully for the best results in maintaining the stated accuracy and long life before initiating service operation.
You can avoid potential downtime of the equipment by observing the following instructions in particular.
(1) Confirm the operating conditions
The operating conditions and major specifications of this flowmeter appear on the nameplate attached to the
transmitter. Verify that the conditions indicated agree with your particular operating conditions. If you are to
make measurement of corrosive liquids in particular, make sure of the compatibility of electrode materials, etc.
(2) About grounding
An electromagnetic flowmeter requires earth grounding. See the Grounding Instruction on page 12 for proper
grounding.
(3) Use with the flow tube filled with liquid
An electromagnetic flowmeter requires its internal space to be completely filled with the process liquid.
Ensure of a fully filled flow tube during operation.
(4) About field wiring
For intercabling between the electromagnetic flowmeter and receiving instrument, see the section "Wiring
Connections".
Please remember to check terminal numbers for correct connections before operation.

3. PIPING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Straight Pipe Section
(1) Provide at least 5D (D: nominal pipe diameter) of straight piping upstream of the meter. For screw-in type
meters (3 to 15 mm in nominal diameter), no straight piping is required because of their long face-to-face
dimension with respect to their diameter.
(2) It is preferable that partially open valves or other devices that disturb the flow velocity pattern to be located
downstream of the meter. If such devices are desired to be placed upstream of the meter for some reason,
provide at least 10D of straight pipe section upstream of the probe.

(2) D: Nominal pipe diameter
3.2 Keeping the Flow Tube Completely Filled
(1) It is essential that the electromagnetic flowmeter be installed in a pipeline completely filled with the process
fluid.
(2) In cases of horizontal installation or vertical installation where the fluid flows top to bottom, we recommend
providing a rising pipe or maintaining sufficiently large hydraulic head downstream, for these piping
arrangements are likely to create empty or partially filled conditions. (See Figure 3.2)

3.3 Physical Orientation of the Probe
The probe may be installed in any physical orientation as long as the flow tube is completely filled with the
process fluid.
Keep in mind the following precautions, however.
(1) Horizontal run
In a horizontal line, keep electrodes axes on a level plane to minimize the risk of electrodes being insulated
momentarily due to suspended gas bubbles.
(2) Vertical run
In a vertical line, avoid a transmitter orientation with cable entry pointing upward to prevent rainwater from
entering the transmitter.

CAUTION: With liquids that contain suspended solids or liquids that can separate easily, a
vertical run is suggested to reduce the possibility of solids deposition, wear and
separation to a minimum.
3.4 Bypass Line
We recommend to provide a bypass line to facilitate
maintenance and inspection.
Particularly in a vertical run, it is desirable that the
piping be arranged to facilitate removal of solids
build-up inside the pipe line.

3.6 Installation Location
Avoid locations such as:
(1) Near motors, transformers, or heavy electrical equipment
(2) Inaccessible for maintenance and inspection
(3) Temperature varies widely or vibration is excessive
(4) Potential risk of submergence
4. PROBE INSTALLATION
4.1 Screw-in Type (nominal sizes 3 to 15mm)
(1) Process connection is of screw-in type. By using dedicated unions, be sure to seal the end face of probe
(lining surface). Never apply a seal to threads as it is likely to cause unexpected trouble.

3.5 Prevention of Negative Pressure
In order to maintain a long-term service life of the
probe, take positive measures to eliminate
circumstances that can create negative pressure
in the pipeline.
(1) If both upstream and downstream valves
remain closed with fluid temperature higher
than that of the atmosphere, fluid contraction
may take place as the fluid cools down,
creating negative pressure in the enclosed
space of pipeline. You can solve this problem
by providing a negative pressure relief valve
near the probe.
(2) If a vertical piping continues downstream of
the probe:
While stopping or adjusting the fluid flow with
the upstream valve of flowmeter, negative
pressure can be created in the pipeline. To
prevent this condition, stop or adjust the fluid
flow with the downstream valve.

CAUTION: Install the transmitter securely.
4.2 Wafer Type (nominal sizes 25 to 150mm)
Install the meter observing the following precautions:
(1) Protection of probe's linings
a. Exercise care to avoid damage to the linings of
probe.
b. Do not fail to use flange gaskets when making
pipe connections.
c. Tighten connecting bolts carefully to avoid
uneven tightening or over tightening.
( R e f e r t o t h e f l a n g e t i g h t e n i n g t o r q u e
specifications in the table on the right.)
(2) Maintaining accuracy
a. To ensure concentric alignment of the probe,
do not fail to use the adjust rings furnished (or
adjust collars for nominal size 150mm meter
with JIS 10K flange rating).
b. Exercise care not to let flange gaskets protrude
inside the pipe.

(2) Procedure to tilt the LCD display to the desired angle:
The display unit in its housing is rotatable in increments of 90 degrees through 360 degrees.
By changing the LCD display orientation, you can achieve optimum viewability also in a vertical line.
CAUTION: Do not forget to turn off the power before beginning this procedure. Another
precaution to remember is to eliminate static charges from the operator's body.
After determining the angular orientation of display unit, install display unit fitting screws, display cover, and
setscrew to lock the cover. Now the orientation adjustment is complete.
CAUTION: Install the display cover to the housing securely by tightening with a flat tool,
ensuring that no gap exists before tightening the locking setscrew.

5. GROUNDING
The electromotive force detected across electrodes of the probe is a very weak voltage measured against the
reference potential of metered liquid. Accordingly, earth grounding (better than Class C grounding) is essential to
maintain the probe and metered liquid at the same potential. Illustrated below are the proper grounding procedures.
CAUTION: Do not connect to earth ground of heavy electrical equipment.

9.2.2 Key Operations
The keys of this flowmeter can be operated by placing the supplied magnet close to the "SEL" key and "ENT"
key in the magnet switch section.
Moving the magnet close to the SEL key or ENT key causes the magnet sensor to respond and the key entry is
set to ON.
The magnet sensor can respond through the glass screen.
■Displayed messages during operation
Key operations include Ordinary depression (short key entry) and prolonged depression (press and hold key
entry).
(1) Ordinary depression
When the SEL key or ENT key is set to ON, the key indicator turns on. Setting the key entry OFF immediately
after the indicator turns on, starts ordinary operation.
If the key entry is kept ON, bars "- - - - - - -" appear on the bottom row display and then bars begin to
disappear at given time intervals.
If you set the key entry to OFF before the last bar disappears, it stays at the ordinary depression.
(2) Prolonged depression
Pressing and holding the SEL key or ENT key causes bars "- - - - - - -" to be displayed at the bottom row
display and then bars disappear one by one from the left.
Keeping the key ON until all bars disappear will start the prolonged depression.
(If you set the key to OFF before all bars disappear, it goes back to the ordinary operation (1).)
