How It Works

Max P-Series Precision Flow Meters are positive displacement piston meters that are able to operate over a wide range of flow rates and fluid viscosities. High accuracy measurement is achieved through precision machined radial pistons that move proportional to the flow. High resolution outputs are produced by measuring the direction and speed of the pistons and converting the signals to analog or frequency outputs. Flows can be monitored from 0.005 cc/min up to 35 liters/min with fluid temperatures from -40°C to 225°C and pressure ratings of 250 psi (17 bar), 3000 psi (210 bar), and 7250 psi (500 bar) depending upon the model. The industrial meter electronics are protected against water, dust, and most corrosive liquids. The 5-pin Turck connector provided is IP68.

Additionally, IP66 rated explosion proof enclosures, combined with a choice of one-part and two-part, high temperature designs with remote electronics cover a wide range of application environments – from the laboratory to harsh industrial processes. Optional seal materials allow for different fluid compatibility.

Max Machinery, Inc. designs, manufactures, calibrates, and refurbishes high accuracy, high resolution, precision liquid flow meters under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. All Max Precision Flow Meters are tested and calibrated in our lab and provide measurements traceable to NIST. If your calibration certificate is lost or missing, contact MMI with your meter serial number for a copy.

Installation

Mechanical
Your Max Flow Meter has been configured at the factory to be used out of the box based on your submitted application data. Plumb it, wire it, and use it. The following section will provide instructions on how to properly plumb your Max Flow Meter in the liquid lines of your application. Use the “IN” port or follow the flow direction arrow markings for the primary flow direction. Install the meter on the discharge side of the pump whenever possible. Excessive vibration at the meter should be avoided.

Orientation:
The preferred mounting orientation of the meter depends on meter type. The orientation optimizes air purging and/or minimizes heat transfer to the electronics. P-Series meters with in line ports prefereably mount with the transmitter facing down or alternately on the side. P001 and P002 with offset ports mount with the transmitter facing up. These mounting orientations prevent air in the system that can cause response delays and errors in measurement.

NPT fittings:
Always use pipe sealant or pipe tape to install fittings, and leave the first thread of pipe exposed. Ensure the tape or sealant does not accidentally enter the meter.

SAE / BSPP fittings:
Always use process fluid compatible lubricant on the o-ring to attach the fitting to the meter.

Compression Fittings:
P001 compression fittings are based on Swagelok style ferrules (see fig. 1). Do not use other manufacturer’s parts because the sealing angle may not be the same. Fitting kits contain detailed instructions and are shipped with every meter (contact Max Machinery for spare ferrule kits). Always torque to values on fitting kit instructions. Select tubing grades that meet or exceed your system pressure requirements.

If using flexible tubing, install a tubing insert to allow compression ferrules to seal (suggested inserts: Swagelok SS-405-2, SS-405-03 or SS-405-170).

To reuse a tube fitting, mark the nut and meter before removal. When re- installing, tighten to align the marks then tighten a quarter turn farther.

Figure 2. Compression Fitting

Bypass Valves:
Install valves to allow system start- up, filter replacement, or flow meter removal without completely shutting the system down and draining the lines. See diagram. Failure to use a bypass at start up may lead to flow meter damage due to debris, overspeeding the meter with air in the lines, and pressure shock due to initial line surges.

Filtration:
A 5 micron filter is recommended on the inlet for the P001 flow meter. A 10 micron filter is recommended on the inlet for all other P-Series flow meters. If measuring bi-directional flow, a filter should be installed on both sides of the flow meter. Materials with fibrous or non-abrasive particulate matter may need to be run without filters.

Clean Plumbing:
Before installing the flow meter, the system lines shall be cleaned and free of all debris or manufacturing particulates. Purging lines with compressed air or steam are typical cleaning methods. Do not use compressed air or steam on the Max flow meter, damage will occur.

High Temperatures:
Orient your meter so the transmitter is to the side or below to minimize heat transfer by convection from the flow meter to the transmitter. The transmitter is the most heat sensitive element in the system. Consult the chart on page 8 for specific limits on fluid and ambient maximum temperatures. When operating in the upper temperature ranges, always insulate the meter but leave the transmitter housing exposed so it radiates heat. An optional heater block can be used on the flow meter to keep it at the fluid operating temperature. For substances solid at room temperature, a heater block may be required to keep material molten to flow through the meter.

Mechanical Operation

Determine that the following parameters of your flow metering system are within the specifications for the specific meter being used:

• Maximum System Pressure (Specifications)
• Differential Pressure across meter (Pressure Drop Curves)
• Maximum Flow Rate (Pressure Drop Curves)
• Metered Fluid Temperature (Sales specification, transmitter specifications page 8)

If the metered fluid is greater than 28°C (80°F) over ambient, see the “High Temperature Start Up” section below.

With valves (#1) and (#2) closed, slowly open valve (#3) (bypass) to clear the lines of foreign particles and air. Slowly open the inlet valve (#1). Slowly open the outlet valve (#2). Completely close the bypass valve. No routine maintenance, cleaning, or lubrication of the flow meter is required. A routine filter cleaning schedule should be established. The system should be shut down if abnormal noises occur or if unusual differential pressures across the meter are encountered.

High Temperature Start-Up:
For fluids above 82°C (150°F) based on 21°C (70°F) ambient, a special procedure is required to prevent thermal shock and permanent damage to the flow meter. The warm up time is determined by the equation below:

• TIME (minutes) = connector size (inches) x (operating temperature (°F)-125)
• TIME (minutes) = connector size (inches) x (operating temperature (°C)-52)

Valves (#1) and (#2) must be closed. Open the bypass valve (#3) in gradual steps until the bypass piping is stabilized at operating temperature. Open valve (#1) slightly and allow the temperature to stabilize around the flow meter. Valve (#1) can then be opened completely.

Open valve (#2) slightly. The flow meter may make unusual noises or bind at this point. Leave the valve at this setting until normal meter operation occurs, at which point valve (#2) can be gradually opened all the way. Slowly close the bypass valve (#3).

Installation Electrical

WARNING : Electrical shock hazard. Serious or fatal injury may occur. Installation/Removal should only be completed by trained and authorized personnel.

WARNING : Refer to the EXInstall Sheet for proper installation in hazardous locations.

CAUTION : Verify transmitter output type (Analog or Frequency) before wiring. Inappropriate wiring could result in damaging the circuit.

CAUTION: Before opening/accessing the electronics lid, make sure the top of the meter and surrounding components are dry and no moisture or fluids can contact the electrical components. Non-warranty damage may occur.

Max P-Series Precision Flow Meters transmitters come from the factory pre- assembled to the mechanical metering component and configured to be used out of the box based on your submitted application data. Plumb it, wire it, and use it. The following section describes how to properly wire your Max Flow Meter into your application electronics.

There are various combinations of transmitter components and outputs. These options include:

• Industrial or Hazardous Location Transmitter Housing
• Frequency or Analog Output Signal
• Uni-directional or Bi-directional Output Signal
• Standard, High Temperature, and Ultra High Temperature Housings

To determine what transmitter type you have, refer to the Max Part Number matrices on pages 31-33 and decode your flow meter part number.

Quick Start

No adjustments to factory settings

• Your Max Flow Meter is connected to your process automation electronics via a 5-pin M12 Turck connector if an industrial transmitter or via a 5-pin connector within a hazardous location housing with a 1/2 inch conduit connection. Please refer to the EXInstall Sheet for proper installation of the wiring to the hazardous location housing.
• Wire the 5-pin Turck cable to your process automation equipment in accordance with the diagrams below depending upon which transmitter type you purchased. Then connect the Turck cable to the Turck fitting on the Max Flow Meter.
• Set your ouput reading on your process automation electronics to match the calibration sheet supplied with your flow meter.
• You are ready to measure your liquid flow application.

Start-up Instructions

Adjustments to Factory Settings Required

• If you need to make adjustments to your Max Flow Meter prior to use, you will need to purchase and use the Max Machinery Interface Software Kit (SFT-KIT-001). This will allow you to change the flow meter output signal frequency or analog range to meet your application equipment needs.
• To access the port on the circuit board, unscrew the transmitter lid by hand. The transmitter lid has four thread paths. When reinstalling the lid, the cable may be misaligned. To realign the cable, remove the lid and rotate up to 180° and retighten using an alternate starting point. Tighten to compress the O-ring seal.
• Max Flow Meters do not come with a visual interface, they must be connected to an electronic display, PLC/DAC/counter card or other process automation electronics to collect the data and display a visual reading.
• You must determine if your process automation electronics have the capability to accept the high frequency output  of the Max Flow Meter. If your system cannot accept the data at the pre-set frequency, then use the Max Machinery Interface Software Kit to adjust the frequency output to a lower setting that matches your system.
• Refer to the Max Machinery Interface Software Kit Manual for instructions on how to change the flow meter output signal frequency or analog range to meet your application’s equipment needs.

Electrical Installation Instructions – 5-pin Turck Connectors
Applies only to transmitters with 5-pin, M12 style connectors. For hazardous location transmitters with 1/2 inch conduit connections, please refer to the EXInstall sheet.

Frequency Output Transmitters
(PN ending N/-)

Current Sinking Wiring
(PN ending S/-)
A current sinking device uses the transmitter’s transistor output to act as a switch. Positive DC voltage must be applied to the transmitter’s output pin (#2). When the pulse output is triggered, this voltage is grounded to zero volts by the transmitter. Warning: Use a 5k ohm resistor to limit current if your system does not have other means to limit current into the transmitter.

Analog Current or Voltage Output Transmitters
(PN ending A/-, B/-, C/-, or D/-)

• Analog transmitters with part numbers ending in A/- or C/- are 24Vdc power. Part numbers ending in B/- or D/- are 12Vdc power.
• To minimize signal noise, analog output transmitters are fully isolated. If your PLC does not ground the negative signal input, there is a risk of a ground shift that could drive the signal out of the range of detection. To prevent this from occuring, install a 10k pull-down resistor between Common and Signal Output (-).

Electrical Operating Information

• Max Flow Meters require a fully isolated power supply to operate. Refer to the Max Machinery Interface Software
• Kit Manual for instructions on how to change the flow meter output signal frequency or analog range to meet your application’s equipment needs.
• Transmitters should not be removed from the flow meter for any field servcing or adjustments. PCA replacement kits do not require the removal of the transmitter housing.
• The flow meter and transmitter must be shipped back to the factory for calibration or service as the complete serialized unit.

Removal note:
If an industrial transmitter needs to be removed from the flow meter for installation, be sure to retighten the transmitter snugly in order to ensure proper sensor alignment. To remove, disconnect the Turck cable and unscrew the industrial transmitter. Use a wrench if necessary. To reattach the industrial transmitter, hand tighten only (~3 ft-lb). For hazardous location transmitters, refer to the EXInstall Sheet for proper installation.

Moisture Seal Protection:
On all models, the housing is designed as a liquid and vapor-tight enclosure. There are O—ring seals at the lid and also the base of the housing in some models; these need to be fully seated. A properly sealed transmitter will prevent the formation of damaging moisture inside the housing. Industrial transmitters have Turck connectors sealed to the lid at the factory and are ready for use. There are no adjustments or servicing that require the connector to be removed from the transmitter lid. Hazardous location transmitters have an NPT connection. Refer to the EXInstall Sheet for proper installation.

Environmental:
The Industrial transmitters are rated to operate in the following fluid temperature ranges at ambient temperature ranges of -40°C to 80°C Standard and 110°C High and Ultra High Temperature Housings. With ambient temperature increases, the maximum fluid temperature at the flow meter is de-rated as shown in the charts below. Hazardous location transmitters have different ambient and fluid temperature ratings, refer to the EXInstall Sheet for proper installation.

Industrial Transmitter Temperature Ratings

High Temperature Instructions
Orient your meter so the transmitter is to the side or below to minimize heat transfer by convection from the flow meter to the transmitter. The transmitter is the most heat sensitive element in the system. Consult your user manual for specific limits on fluid and ambient maximum temperatures. When operating in the upper temperature ranges, always insulate the meter but leave the transmitter housing exposed so it radiates heat. An optional heater block can be used on the flow meter to keep it at the fluid operating temperature. For substances solid at room temperature, a heater block may be required to keep material molten to flow through the meter.

Troubleshooting

LED Rotation/Output Indicators
All Max transmitters incorporate an alternating red/green or blue/green LED to indicate magnet rotation in the meter. The color changes each 1/2 revolution of the meter. Additionally, when no flow signal is present, a rapidly flashing red light indicates the following errors:

Frequency (PN ending N/- or S/-):

• Flashes 8x per second indicate magnet is not detected

Analog (PN ending A/-, B/-, C/-, D/-):

• Flashes 2x per second indicate excessive temperature
• Flashes 8x per second indicate magnet is not detected
• Flashes 16x per second indicate a wiring fault in the output circuit

Note : There are no selections or adjustments on the circuit board. Setting changes are made through the Interface Software Kit (SFT-KIT-001), sold separately. If the PCA is not functioning, PCA replacement kits are available by contacting Max Machinery.

Field Compensation of Transmitter
The transmitter LED on the circuit board indicates a functioning system when it is producing a pulse output or detecting magnet travel in the meter. An alternating blue/green LED indicates that the circuit is detecting a magnet and provides an output signal.

A steady or flashing red LED indicates a problem with the transmitter PCA. Contact Max Machinery to have your flow meter refurbished.

The Compensation Algorithm adjusts for variations in Hall sensor and flow meter characteristics to provide a stable, undamped output frequency that accurately represents the instantaneous flow rate. This feature is factory set when the meter is assembled. If the transmitter PCA is replaced or reset, the compensation can be performed via the gold PCA button or through the software kit.

The only method of altering additional factory set parameters of the meter is through the Interface Software Kit, part number SFT-KIT-001. Pulse Output Scaling, Analog Output Limits and Scaling, Signal Filtering Options and Compensation settings are the adjustable variables.

WARNING : Electrical shock hazard. Serious or fatal injury may occur. Access should only be completed by trained and authorized personnel.

CAUTION : Before opening/accessing the electronics lid, make sure the top of the P234 meter and surrounding components are dry and no moisture or fluids can contact the electrical components. Non-warranty damage may occur.

Instructions to access the gold PCA button and software serial port:

• Unscrew the electronics lid with a quarter turn.
• Carefully move aside the lid with o-ring seal. The M12 connector on the lid remains attached with wires.
• Optional: follow instructions for SFT-KIT-001 to connect to software serial port.
• Follow field compensation instructions on page 11.
• When reinstalling the lid, the cable may be misaligned. To realign the cable, remove the lid and rotate up to 180° and retighten using an alternate starting point. Tighten to compress the O-ring seal.

When a transmitter PCA is replaced or reset in the field, the compensation routine should be performed to optimize the performance of the system. This routine requires a steady flow rate for the flow meter model as shown in Table A below. The flow meter being compensated must not be used for system flow rate feedback control during this process. The transmitter output is disabled during the compensation routine. If you are unable to run a stable flow in the field, send your meter in to Max Machinery for calibration.

The compensation routine is as follows:

1. Place your system in ‘manual’ mode or run in ‘open loop’ mode with no flow meter feedback control. Max
   transmitter output shuts off during field compensation routine. Loss of signal to ‘closed loop control’ modes can affect the flow stabilization of the system and the compensation of the Max meter.

2. Stabilize the flow rate for your flow meter model as shown in Table A below.

3. Activate the compensation routine:

   • A – When using the software via the serial port connection, select ‘field compensation’ in the software.
   • B – If NOT using software, push the Gold PCA Button using a non-conductive tool.

4. The blue/green LED will change to solid blue for 5 revolutions of the meter. See table LED Functions on next page for duration of compensation process. Duration is dependent upon flow rate and requires at least 10 seconds at maximum flow and 90 seconds at minimum flow.

5. A green LED light indicates a successful update of the compensation, a red LED light indicates the new compensation failed. Additional information is available through the interface software.

6. Return your system to ‘operating’ mode or restore settings to allow for feedback control.
