Introduction

The electromagnetic flowmeter uses Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction to measure the process flow. The device consists of two units: a detector, through which the fluid to measured flows and in which low-level signals proportional to flow rates are obtained; and a converter, which supplies excitation current to the detector, and amplifies the signals from the detector and then processes and converts the signals into the 4–20 mAdc current signal or communication*1&2 signal. The meter features a Mount- Anywhere magnetic field distribution technology, the meter is highly immune to upstream flow disturbances. Combined with a multi-functional converter LF620 (combined type) or LF622 (separate type) equipped with its Noise-Sentry original noise-suppression circuit and advanced algorithms. The LF654 has a very high tolerance to noise, giving the unit a very stable output even for slurry fluid measurement. IR (Infrared) switches enable parameter setting of the converter without removing the cover. Flow direction can be set in either way, and its unique 128 x 128 dot matrix LCD display allows the LCD to be rotated electronically to 90, 180 and 270 degrees without opening the cover.

1. HART protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a communication protocol for industrial sensors recommended by the HCF (HART Communication Foundation).
2. Modbus is the communication protocol. Physical layer is RS485.

Cable gland openings have only dust caps which are not water tight. Water tight status is not met until properly wired and connected.

External Connections

Combined type LF654/LF620F flowmeters

Locate an external double-pole power switch on the power line near the flowmeter within easy reach of operation. Use the appropriate switch rating as shown below: Switch rating: 250Vac, 6A or more In rush current: 15A or more

Separate type LF654/LF622F flowmeters

Table 1. LF620F and LF622F Converters Signal Table

Note: Symbol of the terminal is changed as follows for Modbus. DO2 → T+, DI → T-, COM → TG

Wiring Precautions

1. Explosion proof type flowmeters are not provided with cable glands.  Refer to the part Cable connection port at detector and converter.
2. Connect the grounding wire (IV wire 5.5mm² or more) to a good earth ground (100 or less ground resistance). Make the wire as short as possible. Do not use a common ground shared with other equipment where earth current may flow. An independent earth ground is recommended.
3. The allowable cable lengths between the detector and converter for the separate type flowmeter depend on the electrical conductivity of the object fluid. See Figure 10.
4. DO1, DO2 and DI use the same common terminal (COM). This COM can not be connected to other equipment which have their own ground terminal. (Power supply for connecting to DI or DO, etc…) Need to wire separately.

Wiring Precautions (Modbus)

1. For wiring path, avoid places near electrical equipment that may cause electromagnetic induction or electrostatic induction interference (such as a motor, transformer and wireless transmitter).
2. General cables are designed for indoor use where cables are not exposed to humidity, rain, etc. When you install cables, make sure to check the operating conditions such as the operating temperature range of the cable by contacting its manufacturer.
3. When you carry out cable end treatment, use a dedicated cable stripper to avoid the core wire of the cable being nicked or damaged. In addition, for cables, be careful of allowable maximum bend diameter. (Do not allow excessive twisting or bending of cables).
4. The electromagnetic flowmeter is not equipped with terminating resistors. Use the terminating resistor unit for Modbus or junction box, if.
5. Only one Modbus cable goes cable gland of the Electromagnetic Flowmeter. Please use the junction box at system configuration.
6. Install a terminator to flowmeter that connected to end of Modbus network.

Meter Size

To select the meter size: See Table 2 and 3 to find meter sizes within the velocity of 0.3 to 39.4 ft/s (0.1 to12m/s) for a specified full-scale (measuring range high limit) flow. Select one that has its full-scale velocity between 3.0 and 10 ft/s (1 and 3m/s).
Note: Make sure the full-scale flow rate used for the final planning stage stays within 39.4ft/s (12m/s) in terms of flow velocity.

About establishment environment

• Do not store or install the flowmeter:
• Where there is direct sunlight.
• Where excessive vibration or mechanical shock occurs.
• Where high temperature or high humidity conditions exist.
• Where corrosive atmospheres exist.
• Places that can be submerged under water.
• When placing the flowmeter temporarily on the floor, support it, i.e., with a block so that the flowmeter does not topple over.

In areas like the following, there may be the case that infrared switches do not function correctly. (If these are unavoidable, use an appropriate cover.)

1. Where unit (operation panel) is exposed to direct sunlight, reflection of light onto window pane and diffused light reflection.
2. Where smoke and steam may occur.
3. Where exposed to direct snow, ice or mud.
