for totalizer
■GENERAL
When used in conjunction with an OVAL flowmeter, the Model PG30/
PG30EP noncontact pulse generator provides voltage frequency pulses
proportional to the flowrate of process fluid. Incorporated in the pulse
generator are a premolded pulse generating element and a circuit
which prevents false pulses otherwise generated by minute vibration
of generator components. As the toothed disk rotates, a succession of
voltage pulses (quasi rectangular wave) is generated.
Generated pulses come either pulses in scaled units or unscaled
pulses, depending on the position of flowmeter at which the generator
is mounted. Pulses in scaled units can be used in remote totalizing,
batching, blending systems and the like built around an OVAL flowmeter
which serves as the sensing terminal. Unscaled pulses are converted
into an analog signal for use in flow indicator/recorder/controller
applications. Models PG30S/PG30SEP are compatible in the latter
applications.
★For complete details of Models PG30S/PG30SEP,see OVAL Products
General Specifications GS No T-523-E.
Pulse generators come in the following two designs:
(1)Standard type……PG30
(2)Flameproof type…PG30EP (designed and fabricated according to the "Explosionproof Guide-
lines" recommended by the Technology Institution of Industrial Safety.)
★Information about Models PG30S and PG30SEP appears in Instruction Manual No. T-523-E.
■PULSE GENERATOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLES
Generated pulses in scaled units…The rotor revolution is guided into gear reduction and instrumental
error correction stages for the flowmeter to produce pulses of required scaled unit. The obtained pulse
signal is used primarily for remote totalization.

■WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cables for eld wiring
Recommended cables for field wiring are 3-conductor, shielded, chloroprene cabtyre cables [kind 2] (JIS C
3311) or 2-conductor, shielded, vinyl cabtyre cables (JIS C 3312) 1.25mm2to 2.0mm2in conductor area unless
otherwise specified.
2. Transmission Length
The maximum Transmission length is one kilometer when cables 2mm2in conductor area conforming to JIS C
3311 or C3312 are used.
NOTE: If it exceeds one kilometer, consult the factory.
3. Conduit work is suggested.
Cable connections: PG30 ……Rc (PT) 3/4 female
PG30EP…G (PF) 3/4 female
NOTE: With conduit, a minimum of five full threads should engage the mating thread.
Wiring connections
Remove the lid of PG30/PG30EP housing to gain access to
a 3-post terminal block. Terminal identification label is found
on the reverse side of the lid. Remove a wiring connection
instruction label put on the terminals.
1 →+12V WHT
Terminal No. 2 →SIG RED
3 →0V BLK
If grounding at the pulse generator end is desired 
With PG30EP, use the earth ground terminal furnished.
With PG30, no ground terminal is provided; take off a screw
as shown in Fig 3 and earth ground using a terminal lug.
■OPERATING PRINCIPLE
1. Operation can best be understood by referring to Fig.1. Oscillator coil L1in the HF oscillator continuously
generates a 1MHz high frequency wave (waveform ①). As a toothed disk, located between the coil and
detector rotates, a high frequency induction field created is intermittently interrupted. The resultant signal
induced in pickup coil L2of detector is a wave modulated by the toothed disk (waveform ②). The signal is
then detected(waveform ③) and further shaped into a rectangular signal (waveform ④).
Hysteresis characteristics are also provided electrically by changing trigger levels at the leading edge and
trailing edge of the signal.
2. Fig.2 shows how our proprietary double pulse generator works. With two pairs of HF send/receive coils
arranged opposite to each other, intermittent interruption of the magnetic field takes place by the rotating
toothed disk and causes each coil to produce a single pulse per gap (or slot) between the teeth.
Because two coils are so located as to produce pulses 90°out of phase from each other, by exclusive OR (XOR)
of pulses from these two coils, two pulses per gap between the teeth are obtained after all.
Ground this terminal if
required.
Fig. 3

4. Conduit work for Model PG30EP (ameproof type)
(1) Use steel conduit conforming to the requirements specified in JIS C 8305.
(2) Conduit accessories should be of flameproof rating.
(3) Sealing work should be taken into consideration.
(4) Where rusting the screw threads is anticipated, apply a coat of non-drying sealing compound externally
following the screw engagement of conduit.
5. Inductive Interference Prevention
Field wiring should be routed sufficiently away from existing power cables or power circuits, if any, to prevent
potential stray current pickup.
If you want to use both scaled unit pulses and unscaled pulses, use two separate cables.

Shown in Fig.6 above is the setup for observing the
output pulse waveform. Couple the oscilloscope
across terminals a and b and monitor the waveform
while allowing the pulse generator to rotate at a
constant rpm. Connecting the voltmeter across
terminals a and b enables you to make an ON/OFF
level measurement. However, you cannot make a
pulse ON/OFF ratio (or duty factor) measurement with
voltmeter alone.
Correct ON/OFF ratio C/D ranges from 35/65 to 60/40
when "1"= 6.2 to 7.6V and "0"= 0.5 max.
If a correct waveform like the one shown in Fig.7 is
not obtainable, replace the noncontact switch unit with
a new one according to the procedure outlined in the
next section.
(The ON/OFF ratio is a value measured under steady
state rotation.)
■DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION
◎The pulse generator should be disassembled for inspection once a year.
(Make sure that the transmitter cables are not lodged between the casing parts while reassembling.)
If there is no or few (or too many) pulses from the pulse generator while the flowmeter register pointer moves or
the counter operates properly, trouble is suspected in the pulse generator. Inspect its components according to
the procedure described below.
1. Remove the pulse generator from the flowmeter.
Take off four screws (167) to gain access to the
transmission gear box. Check for any gear slipping
on its shaft or crimp connections that are loose.
The same procedure applies to Model PG30EP.
CAUTION: If something is wrong with spring (122) and/or brake shoe (119), replace the whole brake
shoe assembly (plate (120) inclusive).
●Monitoring the Output Waveform
2. Take off four screws (139) holding the housing lid
(102) in place and remove the lid.
Check to see that toothed disk (116) turns smoothly
and that the brake shoe (119) works properly.

1. Disconnect wiring connections. Take off two
terminal fitting screws (106) and remove terminals
(104). The noncontact switch unit (108) can be
separated by taking off two additional screws (130).
2. Remove nut (110) and toothed washer (109)
holding the noncontact switch unit (108) to
mounting bracket (111), and remove the switch
unit. Install a new switch unit in alignment with
locating slot (marked ※). Ensure correct wiring
connections with due regard to color coded leads
(white, red and black).
1. Take off four bolts (329) and remove the casing
of pressure-resistant gasket (301) from housing
(101). Then, take off two screws (126) securing the
noncontact switch unit (115) in place and remove
the switch unit.
2. Unsolder wire lead connections (marked ※), take
off nut (117) and toothed washer (116) holding the
noncontact switch unit (115) to mounting bracket
(118), and separate the switch unit.
Replace with a new noncontact switch unit in the
same manner as described for PG30 pulse generator
and solder wire leads to their connections.
