Dwyer Series IEF Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Transmitter
Product Information
The Flow Series IEF is an adjustable insertion electromagnetic flow transmitter used for measuring the flow rate of compatible clean or dirty non- conductive liquids. It comes equipped with a 2-inch graphic LCD with backlight and is available with an optional full port ball valve accessory kit. The transmitter has a range of 0 to 20 ft/s (0 to 6 m/s) and is compatible with most popular plastic and metal pipes. The wetted materials include 316 SS for the body shaft/fitting, electrodes, and electrode cap, polystyrene/polymer for the electrode cap and silicon for the O-ring. The transmitter has a pressure limit of 400 psi (27.6 bar) and is available in various models with different accuracy levels, process connections, and pipe sizes.
Product Usage
To use the Flow Series IEF transmitter, follow these steps:
- Ensure that the transmitter is compatible with the liquid being measured.
- Select the appropriate model based on the accuracy level, process connection, and pipe size.
- Install the transmitter by inserting it into the pipe at least 10 inches upstream and 5 inches downstream.
- Connect the electrical wires to the removable terminal blocks or female NPT conduit connection.
- If using the optional full port ball valve accessory kit, install it along with the transmitter.
- Apply power to the transmitter by connecting it to a power source with a voltage between 12-42.4 VDC or 12-36 VAC.
- Select the desired output signal (analog, pulse/frequency, or alarm) and configure it using the setup display or online video resources.
- Calibrate the transmitter using the available calibration services or by following the instructions in the user manual.
- Monitor the flow rate readings on the 2-inch graphic LCD with backlight or through the RTU communication protocol (if enabled).
Instruction
The Series IEF Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Transmitter is an adjustable insertion flowmeter featuring electromagnetic technology that accurately and reliably measures fluid velocity in addition to providing several continuous signal outputs. This series is specifically designed to offer superior performance paired with simple installation and use. One unit is adjustable to fit pipe sizes from 4 to 36˝ (102 to 914 mm), and offers several output options including selectable BACnet MS/TP or Modbus® RTU communications protocol over 2-wire RS-485 in addition to the standard analog, frequency and alarm outputs.
BENEFITS/FEATURES
-
Meet application requirements with field configurable setup displays (-LCD integral option or remote accessory A-IEF-DSP), which accommodate a variety of application configurations with one model through multiple display configurations
i. e. pipe size, pipe material, liquid type, analog output, pulse/frequency output, alarm outputs, communication outputs, damping, and calibration factor -
