7-INSTALLATION
7.1 SAFETY MEASURE
Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel per
forming the operations. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol . Please refer
to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
7.2 WARNINGS
7.2.1 Explosions could result in death or serious injury
- Verify that the operating atmosphere of the sensor pipe and transmitter is consisten with the appropriate hazardous
locations certifi cations.
- Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
7.2.2 Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or serious injury
- Make sure only qualifi ed personnel perform the installation.
- Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless qualifi ed.
7.2.3 High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock
- Avoid contact with leads and terminals.
7.3 PRE-INSTALLATION
There are several pre-installation steps that make the installation process easier. They include identifying the options
and confi gurations that apply to your application, setting the hardware switches if necessary, and consideration of
mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements. Please remember that the sensor pipe liner is vulnerable to
handling damage. Never place anything through the sensor pipe for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Damaged
liner can render the sensor pipe useless.
7.3.1 Identify Options and Confi gurations
Standard application of the RPmag includes control of the sensor pipe coils and one or more of the following con
fi gurations or options:
- 4÷20mA output
- Pulse output
- Alarm output
Be sure to identify the options and confi gurations that apply to your situation, and keep a list of them nearby during
the installation and confi guration procedures.
7.3.2 Mechanical Considerations
The mounting site for the RPmag Integral Mount Transmitter should provide enough room for secure mounting,
easy access to the conduit ports, full opening of the transmitter covers, and easy readability of the local operator
interface (LOI) screen.The LOI can be rotated in 90° increments.
7.3.3 Lift
The fl owmeter can be lifted using the lift as shown in following pictures. The safe load and measure for the lift
should reach to the relative requirement. Don’t lift the fl owmeter using the rope to tie the connection between
the sensor and the transmitter (compact version) or the connecting box (remote version)
RPmag - installation

Page 14 of 52 www.sgm-lektra.com
7.4 INSTALLATION GENERAL CRITERIA
The fl owmeter can test automatically fl ow direction. Because the direction arrow marked on the nameplate is fl ow di-
rection when calibrated in factory, you should install the fl owmeter to make the actual fl ow direction same as the fl ow
direction arrow marked on the nameplate. If this is not possible, simply reverse the direct fl ow direction through the
“Indication” (see par. 10.4.4.2.6)
The upstream straight pipe should be longer than 5 × DN to guarantee the accuracy of measurement. When the distance
is more than 5×DN between the device (e.g. cone pipe, orifi ce plate, valve) and the sensor of fl owmeter, their aff ection
is negligible. And the downstream straight pipe should be more than 3×DN
7.5 INSTALLATION IN PIPELINE
In principle, the measurement of the electromagnetic fl owmeter is independence of the distribution of velocity as long
as the distribution of velocity in measuring tube is symmetrical. Installation may be horizontal or vertical, but make sure
no deposit on the electrodes when horizontal installation. See Fig.13-A.
Fig.13-A. Installation in horizontal or vertical pipeline
To install an rectifi er or straight pipe is necessary to normalize the fl ow profi le if there are pipe elbow, fl ow regulation
valve or half-open ball valve in front of the sensor. See fi g.13-B.

Fig.14-A Installation in partially fi lled pipes
The electromagnetic fl owmeter must be installed so that the pipe is always completely fi lled with fl uid. In partially fi lled
pipe case, the fl owmeter must be installed with the siphon phenomenon, for which the pipe stretch where the meter is
installed is kept always full. See Fig.14-A.
The electromagnetic fl owmeter must not be installed in the pipe section with a free pipe outlet that could run empty.
When installating in a downstream pipe, please make sure the pipe is always fully fi lled with medium
See Fig.14-B

The electromagnetic fl owmeter can not be installed at the pipe highest point, because air or gas accumulations may
occur in the measuring pipe. See Fig.15-A
Fig.15-A Installation at highest point
The electromagnetic fl owmeter can not be installed upstream of a pump to prevent cavitation, which can damage the
sensor lining. See Fig.15-B
Fig.15-B Near pumps installation

a
Install a siphon (a) with a vent valve (b) downstream of the sensor in down pipes longer than 5 meters. This precaution
is to avoid low pressure and the consequent risk of damage to the lining of the measuring tube. See Fig.15-C
WARNING: all the phenomena that generate a strong depression inside the pipe can irremediably damage the insulating
coating of the sensor tube itself.

7.6 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
An all-weather cover should be used to prevent the housing from the direct sunlight or rain when the device in outdoors
The fl owmeter should the excessive vibrations, large ambient temperature changing and long-time shower. It should
be prevent from the leakage of the corrosive liquid.
7.7 PIPE CONNECTION
The sensor itself can not be as its support, it should be supported to the connecting pipes. And the sensor should not
withstand too big fastening stress. It should be taken to account to eliminate the aff ection of the stress caused by ther-
mal expansion.
RPmag - installation
>10 mt

Page 18 of 52 www.sgm-lektra.com
7.8 MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
a) The sensor pipe and the line pipes must have the same axis. For the sensors under DN50, the axial diff erence
between the measuring tube and operating pipe should be less than 1.5mm; for the sensors from DN65 to DN300,
it should be less than 2mm; for the sensor over DN350, it should be less than 4mm.
b) The gasket between fl anges should have a good corrosive resistance. The gasket must not extend to the pipe
inside.
c) The threads of the fasten bolts and nuts should be in good condition. The bolts should be fastened using torque
spanner with certain torque according the size of fl ange.
d) It should take separate measure to prevent the lining from heat when weld or fl ame cutting in the pipe closed to
sensor. If the sensor is installed in a well or immersed in water, the connecting box for sensor must be fi lled
and sealed with sealing glue after commissioning.
7.9 ACCESSORIES
5.9.1 Grounding ring (fi g. 13)
Material: SS 316L or Hastelloy C
Thickness: 3mm for SS 316L or 1mm for Hastelloy C
For the non-conductive pipe, the grounding rings should be installed between the fl anges of sensor and pipe to make
the fl owmeter and measured medium same potential.

Fig.18B Grounding with non-conductive pipes
7.10 EQUIPOTENTIALITY AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE REDUCTION
The measuring circuit considers the measured fl uid as zero potential. The measured fl uid is grounding potential in most
of application, therefore grounding connection actually means connecting to measured fl uid. The grounding cable for
sensor is connected to metal pipe welding with fl anges. The metal tube isolates from the measuring fl uid because of
lining, so the fl anges of sensor should be connected to the fl anges contacting directly measuring fl uid using wires. The
resistance for grounding connection should be less than 10ohm. In most of application, it is unnecessary to take special
measure for installing sensor, only require the signal cable separate from the main cable. If the sensor with cathode
protection or the process with electroanalysis the main current must not go through the measuring fl uid in the sensor.
The following measure should be taken in order to reduce the aff ection of magnetic fl ied:
a) In metal piping, the device is made potential equalization via the connection between the sensor and the adjoining
pipe. The bolt connection for fl anges can not be used instead of the electric connection, it must have an additional
electric connection as shown in Fig.18A.

7.11 PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Strictly check the instalment and wirings before it gets into operation!
It shall be pointed out that the instrument, including the sensor and converter has been fully adjusted, calibrated
with actual fl ow, and inspected under strict measures. All shipped units are certifi ed. No further adjustments are
required when put it into operation. Observing the contents in this manual, to check and analyze any malfunction
The following steps are to be followed to get the instrument into operation.
1) Make sure that the sensor is completely fi lled with fl uid.
2) Turn on the power supply. One minute late, the value displayed in the indicator will reach some amount, which
means the connections of wires are correct. If the fl ow direction is wrong, then change the fl ow direction on the
converter.
3) Zero verifi cation. Shut off the valve tight in downstream fi rst and then the valve in upstream, to let the medium in
the pipeline stops. The displayed value should be 0. The value displayed can be corrected at the converter if the
value is diff erent than 0: ensure that no leaks.
7.12 MAINTENANCE
In general, they are not necessary maintenance and supply of the magnetic fl owmeter. Only in the case in which the
product can adhere to the inner wall of the sensor, and its electrodes, it is necessary to perform periodic cleaning
operations.
Be careful not to damage the lining and the electrodes.

c) Some systems, such as pipes with cathodic protection, may be aff ected by potential disturbance because not all the
line is at ground potential. In order to eliminate this type of interference, it must be isolate the line with two rubber
pipes as shown in Fig.19A.
