1.2 Options
The solution for any industry
The OPTIFLUX 4000 has been designed for
measuring any application in any industry and is
often referred to as "mother of all electromagnetic
flowmeters", suitable for all standard and special
applications, including "commercial" use according
to European Directive MI-001 and -005. The level of
precision complies with the industry demands,
furthermore does the modular concept allow tailor-
made solutions.
All meters are passing specific trials,
measurements and tests that go beyond the legal
specifications - and on which our customers can rely
100%. For example, we subject the converter
electronics to a series of extensive temperature
change tests, in which the converter is exposed to
cyclical fluctuations ( -20...+65°C / -4...+149°F)
Every meter that leaves our factory is first wet-
calibrated on our officially certified calibration rigs
(EN 17025).

Communication
Electromagnetic flowmeters can be installed in
random locations, demanding the instrument to be
suitable for any kind of environment. These locations
vary from indoor use (integrated in complex
processes) to outdoor use (straight forward
transport, but possibly buried or submerged). The
ability to read the measured results on-site may be
standard, but it does not always meet the current
and actual needs of the user or operator. That is why
this meter comes with optional, state-of-the-art bus
communication systems. The stored data is
transmitted by HART®, Profibus, Fieldbus or
Modbus, and then forwarded to a management
system.

1 PRODUCT FEATURES OPTIFLUX 4000

Construction
The measuring tube of the sensor has a smooth,
cylindrical shape. This design, consisting of a
circular cross section (no internal or moving parts)
and a homogeneous magnetic field, forms the basis
for a flow-optimized pipe cross section, thereby
providing reliable measurements that are largely
independent of the flow profile. This design allows
the sensor to measure the flow bi-directional.
As an additional benefit, there is no possibility for
product to build up and the free cross section sized
to the customer pipeline creates no pressure drop.
In addition, the required straight inlet and outlet
runs are only 5D and 2D. The liner of the measuring
tube is made of high tech plastic or hard rubber and
is resistant to vacuum, corrosion, aging and
abrasion. The surface and shape of the measuring
tube also minimize mineral deposits, resulting in
exemplary measurement quality - even over the long
term.

Design and performance

Electromagnetic flowmeters have many important
advantages over their mechanical counterparts:
outstanding long-term stability, maximum process
reliability, no maintenance - to name just a few. As a
result, these meters can deliver precise and reliable
measurements for many years.
The flowmeter has extensive factory-set diagnostic
functions that provide continuous self diagnosis in
accordance with e.g. NAMUR, OIML, ISO/EN and
MID. Converter operation is also monitored
continuously, as are the sensor electrodes, the flow
profile and electronic functions. Malfunctions and
irregularities are detected and immediately
displayed on the high-contrast, high-resolution
display.

1.3 Measuring principle

An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulating pipe through a magnetic
field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of
the fluid, a voltage U is generated:
U=v*k*B*D

in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flow meter

The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate q. A signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it and
convert it into signals for totalising, recording and output processing.

2.3 MI-001
All new designs of water meters that are to be used for legal purposes in Europe require
certification under the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2004/22/EC. Annex MI-001 of the
MID applies to: water meters intended for the measurement of volume of clean, cold or heated
water in residential, commercial and light industrial use. A type examination certificate to the
MID certificate is valid in all the countries of the European Union.
TheOPTIFLUX 4300 has a type examination certificate to the MI-001 for DN25...300.
The EC type examination certificate for the OPTIFLUX 4300 is valid for the compact and the
remote version and applies for forward and reverse flow.
According to MI-001 the maximum permissible error on volumes delivered between Q2
(transitional) flow rate and Q4 (overload) flow rate is ±2%. The maximum permissible error on
volumes delivered between Q1 (minimum) flow rate and Q2 (transitional) flow rate is ±5%.

2.5 OIML R49

The OIML R49 recommendation (2006) concerns water meters intended for the metering of cold
potable water and hot water. The OPTIFLUX 4300 has a certificate of compliance with OIML R49,
issued by NMi.
The OIML R49 recommendation sets out the conditions to which water meters shall comply to
meet the requirements of the services of legal metrology in countries where these instruments
are subject to state controls.
The measuring range of the water meter is determined by Q3 (nominal flow rate) and "R" (ratio).
The OPTIFLUX 4300 meets the requirements for water meters of accuracy class 1 and 2.
For accuracy class 1, the maximum permissible error for water meters is ±1% for the upper flow
rate zone and ±3% for the lower flow rate zones.
For accuracy class 2, the maximum permissible error for water meters is ±2% for the upper flow
rate zone and ±5% for the lower flow rate zones.

4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTIFLUX 4000

4.1 Safety instructions

All work on the electrical connections may only be carried out with the power disconnected. Take
note of the voltage data on the nameplate!

Observe the national regulations for electrical installations!

For devices used in hazardous areas, additional safety notes apply; please refer to the Ex
documentation.

Observe without fail the local occupational health and safety regulations. Any work done on the
electrical components of the measuring device may only be carried out by properly trained
specialists.

Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.

4.2 Grounding
The device must be grounded in accordance with regulations in order to protect personnel
against electric shocks.

Figure 4-2: Different types of grounding rings

1 Grounding ring number 1

3 Grounding ring number 3

Grounding ring number 1:

• 3 mm / 0.1" thick (tantalum: 0.5 mm / 0.1")

Grounding ring number 2:

• 3 mm / 0.1" thick
• Prevents damage to the flanges during transport and installation
• Especially for flow sensors with PTFE liner

Grounding ring number 3:

• 3 mm / 0.1" thick
• With cylindrical neck (length 30 mm / 1.25" for DN10...150 / 3/8...6")
• Prevents damage to the liner when abrasive liquids are used

4.3 Virtual reference for IFC 300 (C, W and F version)

The virtual reference option on the IFC 300 flow converter provides complete isolation of the
measurement circuit.
The benefits of virtual reference are that grounding rings or grounding electrodes can be
omitted, safety increases by reducing the number of potential leakage points and the installation
of the flowmeters is much easier.

Figure 4-3: Virtual reference

Possible if:
• ≥ DN10
• Electrical conductivity ≥ 200 µS/cm
• Electrode cable max. 50m., type DS
