KLINGER Type LC – Electronic Oval Gear Flowmeter

GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual will assist you in installing, using and maintaining an Electromagnetic Flow meter. It is your responsibility to make sure that all operators have access to adequate instructions about safe operating and maintenance procedures.

Warning

For your safety, review the major warnings and cautions below before operating your equipment.

1. Use only fluids that are compatible with the housing material and wetted components of your Electromagnetic Flow Meter.
2. When handling hazardous liquids, always exercise appropriate safety precautions.
3. When measuring flammable liquids, observe precautions against fire or explosion.
4. When working in hazardous environments, always exercise appropriate safety precautions.
5. Handle the sensor carefully. Even small scratches or nicks can affect accuracy.
6. For best results, calibrate the meter at least 1 time per year.
7. Do not purge the flow meter with compressed air.
8.  During Electromagnetic Flow Meter removal, liquid may spill.Follow the manufacturer’s safety precautions for clean up of minor spills

Unpacking and inspection

Upon receipt, examine your meter for visible damage. The meter is a precision measuring instrument and handled carefully. Remove the protective plugs and caps for a thorough inspection. If any items are damaged or missing, contact us. Make sure the flow meter model meets your specific needs. For your future reference, it might be useful to record this information on nameplate in the manual in case it becomes unreadable on the meter.

Transportati on and Handling
Do not lift the detector from the Converter housing, the junction box or the connecting cable. Use lifting lugs for larger sizes is recommended. Very large meter sizes are packed and crated with the meter laying on its side for shipping safety and stability reasons. In order to lift the meter in vertical position, it’s recommended to use a sling rigged method as shown below.

Warning: NEVER introduce the forklift, chains, wire slings or any other sharp object inside the flow tube for lifting or handling purposes.This could permanently damage the isolating liner and could render the meter inoperable.

If using a forklift, do not lift the detector from its body between the flanges. The housing could be accidentally dented and permanent damage could be caused to the internal coil assemblies.

USING

Oval gear flow meter is a pointer count accumulated round devices and light devices to zero volume flow meter is widely used in various industrial areas of the liquid flow control, applicable to all types of liquid measurements, such as crude oil, diesel , petrol and so on, with great range and high precision, convenient use and maintenance of the characteristics of different materials selected to meet the petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, metallurgy, electricity, transportation and other fields of liquid flow measurement.

THE WORKING PRINCIPLE AND STRUCTURE

Flowmeter is installed in the metering tank and the measurement of a pair of oval box gear, with the upper and lower cover an early Lunar sealed cavity (due to rotation of the gear, so sealing is not an absolute) as a unit of emissions. When measured by the pipe into the liquid flow meter, due to pressure generated by the Import and Export Department to promote a pair of differential gears for rotation, the constant measurement by cavity after the beginning of the Lunar liquid delivery to the exit, elliptical gear with each revolution time displacement is the product of four times the measured volume of liquid flow (the principle of Figure 1).

Mainly by the shell flow meter, counter, oval gear and coupling (magnetic coupling and sub­axial coupling), such as composition (structure see Figure 2).

Button instruction

1. There are four buttons in total inside of flow meter. The upper one is button resetting, those which
   are below of it are respectively S,+,_ from left to right and two touch- sensitive buttons A and B.

2. Outside of it is a sensor button.

3. When installing the flow meter and inserting the display board, press the reset button and then the screen starts to work.

4. hen at the working situation, press, and touch-sensitive button, and the function is the same.

5. When a working situation, uses magnetic steel to scratch outside of A and B, the screen will shift to display daily flow, total flow, and time.

Time setting

1. Press and at the same time and then unstuck them, and the screen will enter into a time setting state and flickering the year.
2. Press or and then adjust the year needed to set.
3. Press, flickering the month. Then adjust it.
4.  Adjust the date and time as above rules.
5. After adjusting the time, do as 7.4.4 instructions to save and exit the setting program.

Coefficient setting

1. When at working or holding state, press and at the same time twice, P00 flickering. The meter clock enters a state of coefficient sets. When state of time setting, press and at the same time for one time, the meter clock enters the coefficient set. s + s +
2. When parameter code PXX is flickering, press or to find the corresponding code, the below line will indicate the parameter which the code stands for. + –
3. If revising a parameter, press s to move to the location needed to be revised, press or to plus or minus the value of the parameter. + –
4. Save and then exit, press and at the same time, and then loosen the buttons at the same time, instrument showing ——–. Press and at the same time again for 3 seconds. If the instrument shows End, parameters saving succeed, and setting end; if instruments shows Err, parameters saving fail, and need to reset. + – + – e.g.Adjust P00=000.12345， as the following steps：
   • Press and twice, entering to system setting.
   • Press, the first digit flashing, and then press and, adjust to 0.
   • Press s again, adjusting the second digit to 0.
   • Infer from this, adjusting the value of P00 to 000.12345, as the step 4.4.4, saving and exciting setting.

Clear the daily flow and total flow
Clear the daily flow
Keep pressing the s key for 5 seconds till the daily flow on the screen displays 0, then loose the key to complete the procedure.

Clear the total flow
Keep pressing the ­ key for 10 seconds till the total flow on the screen displays 0, then loose the key to complete the procedure.
Remark:

• the measuring unit of daily flow is Liter, and the total flow is Cubic Meter.
• the screen will display 4 decimal places after the clearance of daily flow and total flow.
• when the numeric value on the screen is expired, the decimal point will automatically move back.
• when no decimals is expired (that is 9,999,999), it will automatically do the Clearance.

CAUTION

1. No water flow meter test.
2. o, start or stop when the gate valve should be slow to prevent a sudden shock and should prevent back flow.
3. Flowmeter repair, there shall be no demolition of the rear cover so as to avoid re-generated when the impact of changes to the precision accuracy.

Calculation and adjustment of deviation
(A) the basic error of flow meter, flow test points by the time measured were determined using the following equation: (volume method) E=Vm- V/V×100% E-meter error (generally refers to the cumulative error) the two digits. Vm­ meter measured value (that is, that value)V­, as amended, the flow meter measured the value of the standard device (that is, the actual value) from the basic formula for calculating the error, when Vm> V, the basic error of flow meter “+” value, said flow meter go faster. Vm <V, the basic error of flow meter “­” values that take the slow flow meter. In order to make the basic error in the flow meter error limit is often the need for error. That is installed in the counter through the replacement of a pair of adjustment gears (adjusted teeth) to change the mechanical transmission ratio so that the flow meter to adjust the show deserves. The error can not change the flow meter to adjust the flow characteristics so that it curves in artificially in the new coordinate system. In general, the provisions of (or actual use of) the flow range of the maximum and minimum flow test point margin of error of not more than the basic provisions of the basic error of precision limit can be adjusted through the error so that the basic error of flow meter qualified. Flowmeter has been used, the general regulation of first gear with the original error test group, and then the error in accordance with the specific error to adjust the situation further.
