    scribdkhatn
    The GMTX electronic indicator uses microprocessors and magnetic field sensors to measure flow rate and total for liquids, gases, or steam through a metal tube flowmeter. It provides accurate measurements within 1% and outputs a 4-20mA signal. Key features include alarms, totalizer, password protection, and intrinsic safety approval for hazardous areas. The indicator interfaces with different sized Platon metal tube flowmeters and is suitable for various flow ranges and pressures depending on the application.

    Product Data Sheet DS1225

    Vampire - Electronic Indicator


    TYPE GMTX
    The GMTX electronic indicator with microprocessor enhanced performance and LCD panel display of flow rate and total, designed for use with a metal tube variable area flowmeter for liquid, gas or steam measurement, Suitable for use with body options, the VAMPIRE (Variable Area Micro Proc-essor Indicator Readout Electronics) has a totally solid state measurement system, eliminating mechanical hysteresis errors. Microprocessor interpolation between flow data points, stored in factory calibrated look-up tables, gives an improvement to 1% accuracy for this technique. The loop powered 4-20mA transmitter is certified intrinsically safe to CENELEC standards, for use in a potentially haz-ardous area. Both loop powered and AC mains powered units have separate high and low flow alarm outputs.

    OPERATING PRINCIPLE
    The VAMPIRE is a metal tube variable area flowmeter: as the flow up through the precision machined tapered tube increases, the float rises, reaching an equilibrium position. Electron beam welded within the float casing is a magnet. Two Hall effect magnetic field sensors measure both the vertical and horizontal components on this field. The angle of the magnetic field defines the position of the float in the tapered tube. This solid state measurement eliminates the problems of mechanical hysteresis associated with conventional magnetic pointers. Field angle is also independent of the absolute value of magnet strength, and sensor sensitivity.

    The measurements are compared with a look-up table of field and flow data, stored in the VAMPIRE microprocessor memory on factory flow rig calibration. Flow rate is deduced accurately by interpolation between data points. The micro-processor converts the flow rate to correct Engineering units for the digital display on the LCD, adjusts the display meter pointer and 4-20mA output, sets the Alarm status and increments the totaliser as necessary. Keypads on the VAMPIRE front panel are used to set flow alarm levels, zero the totaliser and select the digital display as rate or total. Via a password entry procedure, the site engineer can reset the display units or even rescale the flowmeter to allow for changes to process conditions. This programme also has selections to define what functions are accessible to the operator (without password), plus zero, span and time constant adjustments. FLOW RANGES

    METAL TUBE FLOWMETER FAMILY


    VAMPIRE flow measurement electronics can be supplied with any of the Platon metal tube variable area flowmeters in the GMT family (see leaflet DS1221 Screwed and DS1220 Flanged).

    INSTALLATION
    1. Ensure that no ferromagnetic material is situated within 100mm of the indicator. Model GMTXA has output relays de-energised for alarm conditions. Model GMTXD transistor outputs are off for alarm conditions. The negative line is common to the transistor outputs and the loop supply. Intrinsically safe installations of Model GMTXD should be in accordance with BS5345 Part 4. The 4-20mA loop should be protected by an approved standard 28 Volt 300W shunt diode safety barrier. If required, the alarm outputs should be connected via approved 10 Volt 50W safety barriers. It is recommended that the VAMPIRE LCD display is protected from both extremes of freezing and direct sunlight.
