1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General
1.1.1 Description
The Series 3000 Magnetic Flowmeter is a compact, volumetric, liquid flow rate detector that uses as
the process transducing method the characteristic of a conductive liquid to generate an induced
voltage when flowing through a magnetic field. The amplitude of the voltage produced is directly
proportional to the flow rate of the metered liquid.

Being a completely obstructionless metering instrument, the meter may be used with many non-ho-
mogeneous liquids and is as independent of the tendency to plug or foul as the pipeline in which it is
mounted. An inherent advantage of obstructionless construction is that pressure losses are reduced
to levels occurring in equivalent lengths of equal diameter pipeline. This reduces or conserves
pressure source requirements in new or existing hydraulic lines as compared to other metering
methods. The compact size of the meter results in a light-weight unit which requires no additional
support other than that used normally on pipe runs. Short laying lengths minimize the need for
altering existing pipe runs to accommodate metering. A basic construction of corrosion resistant
wetted parts and a variety of meter lining materials permit metering of most corrosive and reactant
liquids.

Factors such as liquid viscosity and density require no compensation and have no effect on the
measurement accuracy of the meter. Metering limitations are confined to a minimum threshold of
electrical conductivity inherent to the liquid being metered. The degree of liquid conductivity has no
effect upon metering accuracy as long as it is greater than this minimum level. Liquid temperature is
limited only to the extent that it may affect liquid conductivity, and liquid pressure to the extent that it
can not exceed the meter material specification limits.

For information applicable to the signal converter, refer to the signal converter instruction bulletin.

1.1.2 Construction
The meter consists of a flanged, stainless steel pipe spool which serves as a meter body. A pair of
flat magnet coils are installed on opposite sides of the meter housing inner surface. Permeable iron
straps and pole pieces focus the magnetic field generated by the coils and provide a flux return path.

An interior liner of Hard Rubber, Soft Rubber, TEFLON ® (PTFE), TEFZEL ® (ETFE), neoprene,
polyurethane, or LINATEX is assembled into the spool and formed against the flange faces. Two
cylindrical electrodes are mounted diametrically opposed within the central portion of the meter body
and are completely insulated from the metal pipe. The end surfaces of the electrodes are virtually
flush with the inner surface of the insulating liner and come into contact with the liquid to be metered.

 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The Primary housing for the continuous

submergence and explosion-proof design
is different from the other configurations in
that it is sealed with a round screw-on ac-
cess cover. The interior of this housing is
filled with a gelatin-like silicone rubber
compound which helps give the meter its
waterproof rating. The construction of this
meter is shown in Figure 1-1.

The NEMA 4X rating applies to the meter

body and electronics enclosure only. The
following accessories (if supplied) may not
meet NEMA 4X unless specifically ordered
as NEMA 4X:
• meter flanges
• meter installation hardware:
studs, nuts, bolts
• enclosure mounting hardware
for pipe or wall mounting
• conduit hardware

* Each meter is calibrated to determine its flow capacity at a given velocity, which has been
established as 32.808 ft/s (10 m/s) for the meter capacity (Range DN). The meter capacity expressed
in gpm is recorded on the meter nameplate.

The meter capacity is the base upon which maximum and minimum limits for range settings and
outputs are established.

Flow velocity can be determined as follows:

Meter Capacity:

Flow Velocity (ft/s) = (Operating gpm x 32.808)/Meter Capacity

NOTE
The maximum meter flow range is a function of the signal converter used. The maxi-
mum flow range can not exceed the meter capacity.

2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 Inspection
All meters are shipped in heavy duty containers which are specially designed to provide adequate
protection during transit. Since the meter will be operated in conjunction with an electronic signal
converter, both instruments may be in the same shipping container. An itemized list of all items
included in the shipment is attached to the shipping container. Refer to the instruction bulletin
supplied with the signal converter for operation and maintenance procedures for the converter.

The system is normally supplied with a signal converter. Interconnection cable and conduit seals are
supplied with the signal converter.

Inspect all items included in the shipment for indications of damage which may have occurred during
shipment. All damage claims should be reported to the shipping agent involved before attempting to
install or operate this equipment. If the damage is such that faulty operation is likely to result, the
damage should be brought to the attention of the factory Service Department.

2-1
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

2.2 Meter Handling

When a TEFLON lined meter is specified, two optional liner protector plates (one on each flange
face) are factory installed (when specified at time of order). These plates serve to contain the flared
ends of the liner, and to prevent damage to the liner during installation and handling. These protector
plates are attached to the meter with flat head screws that securely hold the liner in place. If the
pressure on the liner is relieved, the TEFLON will tend to curl away from the flange. These protector
plates must remain in place when the meter is installed. Refer to Figure 2-1.

During shipment, the liner is protected by wood or composition protectors as shown in Figure 2-2;
these are removed before the meter is installed; leave them in position while moving the meter to the
installation site.

To place the meter in the pipeline a sling and hoist may be necessary. Do not pass a rope or wire
sling through the meter; the liner will be damaged if the meter is supported by the liner. Lift the meter
as shown in Figure 2-2.

Table 2-1 lists the weights of the meters by size and flange classification. Weights shown are
approximate and should be used only as a guide when installing the meter.

2.3 Location
The Flowmeter is suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. When selecting the location of the
installation, consideration should be given to the ambient and process temperature limits, as stated
in the Specifications Sub-Section 1.3.

Several variations of resistance to water-entry are available:

• The Standard meter is rated NEMA 4X (IEC 529 IP65), watertight, and will
withstand periods of rain and hose down.
• If periodic flooding may occur, an optional NEMA 4X (IEC 529 IP67) accidental
submergence Flowmeter is available to withstand submergence up to 48 hours.
These ratings apply to TEFLON-lined meters only after the meter is properly
installed in the pipeline.
• If periodic flooding is expected to keep the meter submerged for periods longer
than 48 hours, an optional continuous submergence NEMA 4X (IEC 529 IP68)
configuration is available.

It is recommended that the meter not be installed in the immediate vicinity of heavy induction
equipment.

Access for wiring interconnections and servicing of the integrally mounted Signal Converter should
be considered when installing the meter. A minimum of five inches of overhead clearance is required
for cover removal.

Outline dimensions of the Flowmeter are given in Figures 2-3 through 2-8.

Outline dimensions of the optional remotely mounted Signal Converter are given in the instruction
manual supplied with the Signal Converter.

The installation site must be provided with a convenient source of power as specified for the Signal
Converter. The power line should have a disconnect switch and a suitable fuse or circuit breaker as
shown on the applicable interconnection diagram provided in the instruction manual supplied with the
Signal Converter.

2.4 Mounting
2.4.1 Orientation
The meter may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping pipe runs. However, precautions must be
taken to assure that the metering tube is filled at all times during measurement. A vertical installation,
with the pipe line carrying liquid upwards assures a filled line under low flow rate conditions and also
minimizes wear on the meter lining by abrasive grit. Horizontal installations should be made with the
meter in the lower section of a pipeline to assure a filled meter condition.

For horizontal or sloping installations the meter should be placed so that the electronic housing of the
meter is on top. This will align the meter electrodes in a lateral plane. Positioning the meter in this
way eliminates the possibility of entrained air acting as an electrode insulator.

The meter must be oriented in accordance with the direction of process flow, as indicated by the
FLOW arrow on the meter body. For accurate metering, a straight pipe run equivalent to a minimum
of three straight pipe diameters are required upstream of the meter for elbows and tees, measured
from the center of the meter (refer to Figure 2-15).

If a control valve is required, it is recommended that it be placed downstream of the meter. Upstream
valves can create turbulence that result in air pockets and may affect the meter’s accuracy or cause
its output to be noisy. A minimum of ten pipe diameters of straight pipe are required upstream
between the meter and a control valve or pump.

2.4.2 Pipe Connections

The TEFLON and polyurethane lined meters
have raised faced flanges rated as specified. The
neoprene and hard-rubber lined meters have full
faced flanges rated as specified. Two flange gas-
kets are supplied per meter; the mounting studs
and nuts are furnished by the user.

For 4-bolt and 8-bolt flanges, tighten the flange

bolts in a "star" pattern as shown in FIGURE 2-13
to avoid localized stresses on the gaskets. Use a
similar method for 8-bolt flanges.

Refer to Figure 2-14 for proper gasket locations

and Figure 2-15 for recommended piping ar-
rangement.

The meter should be oriented such that the pres-

sure relief valve points in a safe direction should
a situation occur where the device could be acti-
vated. For further discussion of the pressure re-
lief mechanism and orientation, refer to Section
2.7 of this instruction manual.

2.4.3 Torque Specifications

It is recommended that the bolts and nuts be lubricated and tightened using a torque wrench. The
bolts and nuts should be tightened to approximately 50% of the torque value during the first pass, to
approximately 80% during the second pass and to the full torque during the third pass. The maximum
torque rate values shown in TABLES 2-3 and 2-4 must not be exceeded.

For liner materials other than those shown in the tables, the flange bolts should be tightened
sufficiently to stop any leaks but should not exceed the values shown in the tables.

2.5 Grounding Procedure

2.5.1 General
Satisfactory operation of metering system requires that careful attention be paid to proper grounding
techniques. A good ground is one that is in contact with the earth over a large conductive area. An
excellent example of this is a metallic cold water pipe which is underground. A great number of pipe
branches form a large conductive area of contact which provides a low resistance connection to
earth. A hot water or steam pipe must first return to a boiler before it becomes a cold water pipe, and
therefore, its greater length of ungrounded path offers a less desirable ground bus. A metallic
structural member of a building, such as a supporting "I " beam, may be a good earth ground, but it
is a second choice to a metallic cold water pipe.

Flowmeter grounding requirements are a combination of standard grounding methods and a bonding
of the meter body to the process liquid. The most important of these is the process bonding, which is
ensuring that the meter body is in contact with the process liquid at both ends of the meter body. The
bonding procedure places an electrical short circuit across the meter, thereby routing any stray
current around the liquid in the meter (rather than through it).

From the point of view of grounding there are two basic types of piping systems:
• electrically conductive pipeline: the process liquid comes in contact with conductive
pipe. This piping requires that each meter flange be connected with a bonding wire
to the adjacent pipeline flange. The grounding procedure to use with conductive
pipeline is described in 2.5.2.
• non-conductive or electrically insulated pipeline: the pipeline may be made of an
electrically non-conductive material (plastic, concrete, etc.) or lined with a
non-conductive material (rubber, TEFLON, etc). These non-conductive pipelines
require the use of metal grounding rings to bond the process liquid to ground. The
grounding procedure to use with nonconductive pipeline is described in 2.5.3.
Proper grounding of the meter is required for optimum system performance.

2-20
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

2.5.2 Conductive Pipeline

If the meter is included as part of a conductive pipeline that is not electrically insulated from the liquid
to be metered, the following grounding procedure should be followed. Refer to Figure 2-16 to
supplement the following text.

1) Drill and tap both pipeline flanges adjacent to the bonding connections on the meter.
The lugs on the bonding cables are sized for a 1/4 inch bolt (metric M6 fasteners).

2) Obtain a bright metal surface around the edges of the tapped hole with a file or emery
cloth.

3) Attach the bonding wire and another length of ground wire to the flanges as shown. Use
internal tooth lockwashers as shown in the detail. The wire to the good external ground
should be #12 AWG or heavier copper wire.

Figure is for reference only, the flowmeter shown in this illustration is not the meter
described in this instruction bulletin.

2-21
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

2.5.3 Non-Conductive or Electrically Insulated Pipeline

If the meter is included as part of a non-conductive or liquid insulated pipeline (such as totally plastic
pipe, ceramic lined iron pipe, or cast pipe with internal bitumastic coating), the following grounding
procedures apply. Refer to Figure 2-17 to supplement the following text.

1) For this service, the meter requires the use of grounding rings. The grounding rings
should be installed between the meter flanges and the mating flanges of the pipeline as
shown in Figure 2-14. A gasket is required on both sides of the grounding ring. If the meter
is supplied with a grounding ring/protector plate fastened to the meter flange,only one gas-
ket is required between the grounding ring/protector plate and the pipeline flange. Proper
gasket locations are shown in Figure 2-14.

2) Attach the bonding wire and ground wire to the tab of the grounding ring. Use internal
tooth lockwashers and hex head nut and bolts as shown in Figure 2-15. The ground wire
should be #12 AWG, or heavier, copper wire.

2.6 Electrical Interconnection

The Series 3000 Magnetic Flowmeter is furnished with a remotely mounted Signal Converter.
Interconnection details are provided in the Instruction Bulletin provided with the Signal Converter.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Equipment powered by ac line voltage
constitutes a potential electric shock hazard to the user. Make certain
that the system power input leads are disconnected from the operating
branch circuit before attempting electrical interconnections.

The cable from the remote converter is connected to the Primary using the customer connection box
mounted on the meter body. FIGURE 3-2 shows the customer connection circuit board located inside
the customer connection box. The signal cable from the remote converter is connected to the meter
using the terminal blocks labeled "CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS" shown in FIGURE 3-2.

When incorporating the interconnection procedures, the grounding procedures given in Section 2.5
must be followed.

For explosion proof meter installation, all interconnection wiring must be installed according to
National Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70 Section 500.

NOTE
For meters capable of continuous submergence, the signal ca-
ble has been permanently installed by the factory. Do not
loosen the cable seal fitting or remove the connection box lid
since this will break the seal and void the warranty.

2.7 Conduit Seal and Pressure Relief

In accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 501-5(f)(3), the
flowmeter includes a conduit entry seal and pressure relief to prevent the process liquid from entering
the electrical conduit system. This safety feature considers the remote possibility of a primary seal
failure, in which case, the secondary seal will prevent the process from entering the electrical conduit
system.

It is the user’s responsibility to properly install the conduit entry cable seal fitting supplied with the
signal cable provided with the remotely mounted signal converter. This will ensure proper perform-
ance of this safety feature. Refer to Figure 2-18.

A pressure relief is provided in the electronics housing in the customer connection box on the meter.
The pressure relief is located in the center of the housing joint on the side opposite from the conduit
connection. If the primary seal should fail, the pressure relief will vent the process preventing an over
pressurization and potentially dangerous failure of the electronics housing.

It is the user’s responsibility to be aware of this safety feature and to consider the unlikely event of its
functioning. Based on knowledge of the process and meter application, the user should consider the
installation orientation of the meter and possible use of deflectors to safely direct the vented process.

3.0 START-UP and OPERATION

3.1 General
The meter is calibrated at the factory. Each meter is calibrated to determine its meter capacity at a
given velocity. Refer to Table 1-4.

Prior to initial system start up, verify that the meter is properly installed; check flow direction, wiring
interconnection and grounding as discussed in Section 2.0 Installation. Particular attention should be
given to the meter grounding procedures; improper grounding may result in unsatisfactory perform-
ance. Refer to the signal converter instruction bulletin for interconnection wiring.

Except for system zero adjustment, there are no operating controls that require field adjustment
unless the full scale range setting was not specified at time of purchase. If the full scale range setting
must be set or changed, refer to the instruction bulletin supplied with the signal converter.

The flowmeter does not require zeroing, however, system zero adjustment must be performed prior
to start-up. The procedure for system zero adjustment is discussed in the signal converter instruction
bulletin.

Start flow through the process piping system that includes the meter. Allow a nominal flow through
the pipeline for several minutes to purge entrapped air. The pipeline must be full for accurate flow
measurement.

Apply the appropriate power for the meter by closing the external switch or circuit breaker; there are
no switches inside of the equipment. Also, energize any auxiliary equipment associated with the flow
metering system, such as remote analog recorders, controllers or rate indicators.

Initiate process flow through the pipeline. Flow measurement and concurrent output signal transmis-
sion will commence with flow through the meter.

4.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The meter body houses two signal electrodes and two flux producing magnet coils, as shown
schematically in Figure 4-1. All flowmeter intraconnection wiring is terminated at a printed circuit
assembly located in the base mounted on the meter housing.

The meter provides two output signals to the signal converter:

• an electrode signal that contains the flow rate information
• the reference signal which is proportional to the magnet excitation current
(theoretically, this reference signal is proportional to the flux density in the metering
section).
The reference voltage is derived across a precision constant meter capacity (CMC) resistance
network that is connected in series with the magnet coils. Changes in magnet drive voltage, which
cause a variation of flow signal, will simultaneously cause a proportional variation of the reference
voltage. The circuitry will provide an exact ratio and thereby provide immunity to power supply
variation. The magnet coil drive circuitry is contained in the signal converter.

4.1 Basic Operating Principle

4.1.1 Signal Voltage Generation
The operating principle of the Series 3000 meter is based upon Faraday’s Law of Induction which
states that the voltage induced across any conductor as it moves at right angles through a magnetic
field will be proportional to the velocity of that conductor. This principle finds common application in
direct and alternating current generators. Essentially, the meter constitutes a modified form of a
generator.

Figure 4-1 graphically illustrates the basic op-

erating principle. A magnetic field, "B", being
generated in planes which are perpendicular
to the axis of the meter pipe. A disk of the
metered liquid can be considered as a con-
ductor. The transverse length "D" is equal to
the meter pipe diameter. Since the velocity "V"
of the liquid disk is directed along the axis of
the meter pipe, a voltage, signal "Es", will be
induced within this liquid which is mutually
perpendicular to the direction of the liquid ve-
locity and the flux linkages of the magnetic
field; i.e., in the axial direction of the meter
electrodes. This electrode voltage is the sum-
mation of all incremental voltages developed
within each liquid particle that passes under
the influence of the magnetic field.

FIGURE 4-1. BASIC OPERATING PRINCIPLE

4-1
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This may be expressed mathematically as:

(Equation #1)

1
Es = BDV
α

where:

E s = induced electrode voltage

B = magnetic field strength
D = meter pipe diameter
α = dimensionless constant
V = liquid velocity

The metered liquid constitutes a continuous series of conductive liquid disks moving through a
magnetic field. The more rapid the rate of liquid flow, the greater the instantaneous value of signal
voltage as monitored at the meter electrodes.

4.1.2 Volumetric Flow Rate Measurement

The meter is a volumetric flow rate measuring instrument. This can be shown by substituting the
physical equivalent of liquid velocity into equation #1 as follows:

(Equation #2)

V = Q = 4Q
A πD 2

Substituting for V in equation #1

4
E s = 1 BD Q2
α πD

and solving for Q:

∴ Q = παD • Es
4 B

Since B = β E r

and since α, D and β are constant:

4-2
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

(Equation #3)

Q = γ Es
Er

where:

Q = volumetric flow rate

A = cross-sectional area
D = pipe section diameter
E s = induced signal voltage
E r = reference voltage
B = magnetic flux density
α = dimensionless constant
β & γ = dimensional constant
V = liquid velocity

Therefore, volumetric flow rate is directly proportional to the ratio of the induced signal voltage to the
reference voltage as measured by the meter.

4.2 Operating Characteristics

4.2.1 Liquid Variables
4.2.1.1 Liquid Conductivity
The meter requires a liquid conductivity of 20 microsiemens per centimeter or higher for operation.
This minimum liquid conductivity requirement is not affected by the length of the signal interconnec-
tion cable as long as the factory-supplied or factory-approved interconnection cable (with driven
shields) is used. The nominal maximum transmission distance is limited to 100 feet (30 m) which is
the standard length of cable supplied unless specified otherwise.

The conductivity of a given liquid, σ, may be determined experimentally under a filled meter
condition, as follows:

1) Turn off power to the signal converter. Remove the converter housing cover. Disconnect
and identify the electrode signal interconnection leads from terminals "1" and "2" of the sig-
nal converter.

2) Measure the resistance between signal leads "1" and "2" with an ac ohmmeter.

CAUTION
Do not use a dc ohmmeter for this measurement as polarization
effects will produce completely erroneous data.

4-3
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The conductivity of the process liquid (in microsiemens/cm) may be determined from the electrode ac
resistance measurement (in megohms) by substitution of values in the following equation.

σ= 1
(R ac - 0.072) x Electrode Diameter, in cm

where,

0.072 is the electrode barrier resistance in megohms; i.e., 36 kΩ x 2/10 6

and,

typical electrode diameter is 0.77 cm

For example, assuming the measured ac electrode resistance (full pipe) is 192,000 ohms and
electrode diameter is 0.76 cm, then

σ= 1 = 10.82 µS/cm
(0.192 - 0.072) x 0.77

This is above the threshold for specified measurement accuracy for the particular liquid, meter size
and signal converter combination. Liquid conductivities at the operating temperature may also be
determined from standard references for many pure liquids. Factory Field Engineers are equipped to
determine the conductivities of special liquids at the user’s site.

Electrode diameters vary with meter size and type of liner, the values given in Table 4-1 are typical
electrode diameters.

4.2.1.2 Liquid Temperature

Having established the minimum liquid conductivity requirements for a given application, any liquid
which exhibits equal or higher conductivity may be metered without concern for any system compen-
sating adjustments. However, the effect of the liquid conductivity versus temperature should be
considered.

Most liquids exhibit a positive temperature coefficient of conductivity. It is possible for certain
marginal liquids to become sufficiently non-conductive at lower temperatures so as to hamper
accurate metering; whereas, the same liquid at higher or normal environmental temperatures may be
metered with optimum results. The possibility of an adverse temperature conductivity characteristic
should be investigated before attempting to meter such a liquid. Process or ambient temperatures
are limited by the meter materials specification.

Other normal effects of temperature, such as influence upon liquid viscosity and density, the size of
the metering area, and the flux density of the magnetic field, have negligible or no effect upon
metering accuracy.

4.2.1.3 Other Liquid Variables

Other liquid variables such as viscosity, density and liquid pressure have no direct influence on
metering accuracy. Liquid density has no effect on volumetric flow rate since only the area of the
meter pipe and liquid velocity are required to determine the rate of flow. Viscosity and metering
pressure are restricted to physical limitations alone, such as the pressure limits of the meter pipe
flange connections.

4.2.2 Metering Characteristics

The metering pipe must be completely filled at all times for accurate measurement. Where there is a
possibility of operation with a partially filled horizontal pipeline, it is recommended that the meter be
installed in a vertical position so that the process flows upward. A vertical installation offers the
advantage of an even distribution of wear on the meter liner in the event that abrasives are present
in the process stream.

The meter will measure the total amount of material passing in the process stream. The meter will not
differentiate between the amount of liquid and the amount of entrained gases. Also, in the case of a
slurry, the meter will not differentiate between the amount of liquid and solids. If the liquid to mixant
ratio is important for process control, then separate measurements of the concentration of the
medium must be made and appropriate correction factors applied to the meter output.

In applications involving variable quantities of uniformly dispersed, non-conductive mixing agents, it

must be determined that the higher concentrations of mixant will not drive the average conductivity of
the liquid mixture below the minimum conductivity level for the given installation.

5.0 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

5.1 Meter Signals

The meter body houses two signal electrodes and two flux producing magnet coils. All meter
intraconnection wiring is terminated at the CMC/ZERO pc board located in the base of the meter
housing.

The meter provides two output signals to the associated signal converter; one, an electrode signal
that contains the flow rate information, and two, the reference signal which is proportional to the
magnet excitation current (theoretically, this reference signal is proportional to the flux density in the
metering section). The reference voltage is derived across a precision "constant meter factor"
resistance network that is connected in series with the magnet coils. Changes in magnet drive
voltage, which cause a variation of flow signal, will simultaneously cause a proportional variation of
the reference voltage. The circuitry will provide an exact ratio and thereby provide immunity to power
supply variation. The magnet coil drive circuitry is contained in the signal converter.

5.2 Constant Meter Capacity (CMC) PC Assembly

The CMC pc assembly provides the following functions:

1. Establishes interconnections between the meter internal wiring and the signal
converter.

2. Permits factory adjustment of meter capacity values to a fixed value for each nominal size
meter.

3. Permits factory adjustment of meter zero.

4. Aligns the phase of the electrode and reference signals.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

6.1 General
Except for an occasional performance verification check, there is no routine maintenance required for
the meter. It is suggested that the meter body not be disassembled. If disassembled, complete
waterproof sealing is required for satisfactory operation and is best done at the factory. Replacement
of faulty magnet drive coils and electrode replacement is a factory operation. Factory calibration after
this type of repair is the only way to guarantee meter accuracy.

The manufacturer offers a Repair/Exchange Program to facilitate replacement of a defective meter or

converter. If the equipment is beyond the warranty limit, under this program a fixed price will be
charged for replacement of defective equipment, with appropriate credit issued when the repairable
unit is received by the manufacturer (charges prepaid). The equipment available under this program
is as follows:
• the meter with the interconnection junction box without the signal converter
• the signal converter

WARNING
All flowmeters and/or signal converters being returned to the
manufacturer for repair must be free of any hazardous materials (acids,
alkalis, solvents, etc.). A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all
process liquids must accompany returned equipment. Contact the
manufacturer for authorization prior to returning equipment.

NOTE
Operation and maintenance procedures for the signal converter are pro-
vided in the instruction bulletin supplied with the signal converter.

When communicating with the manufacturer in regard to replacement of a complete meter or the
signal converter, it is important to refer to the complete instrument serial number to assure that the
correct replacement will be supplied. This information is provided on the manufacturing specification
sheet supplied with the meter, and on the instrument data tag.

6.2 System Troubleshooting

In the event that faulty operation of the meter is evident, the following procedure can be used as a
guide to isolate the malfunctioning device as either the meter or the signal converter. A standard
multimeter is suitable for making most of the test measurements.

To supplement the following discussion refer to:

• Section 5.0 Circuit Description
• Signal converter instruction manual

6-1
 10DS3111E INSTRUCTION MANUAL

NOTE
The meter housing is supplied as a sealed unit. Therefore, customer field
repairs to these meters are not recommended. In the event of a malfunc-
tion, repairs should only be performed by a factory field service engineer,
or the complete meter returned to the manufacturer for service (shipping
charges prepaid).

WARNING
Equipment powered by an ac line voltage presents a potential electric
shock hazard. Servicing of the flowmeter or signal converter should
only be attempted by a qualified electronics technician.

1. If improper meter operation is suspected, proceed as follows:

a) Remove the access cover from the meter junction box.

b) Inspect for evidence of water entry in the junction box.

If water is present, de-energize system at power source. Inspect conduit seals and cover gaskets for
possible source of water entry. Replace the seals and/or gasket as required. Allow interior of junction
box and converter housing to dry completely before restoring system power.

2. Since signal wiring and operating procedures are dependent upon the type of converter and the
mounting option selected, the user should refer to the instruction bulletin supplied with the signal
converter for system troubleshooting procedures. A static performance test for the meter mounted
components is discussed in Section 6.3.

3. Possible causes of erroneous flow rate indication are:

• incorrect grounding
• excessive noise due to a heavy slurry process
or a non-homogeneous process
• loose or intermittent wiring
• non-full or empty meter pipe
• excess air entrained in process liquid
• fluid conductivity below minimum specifications

4. The customer connection box mounted on the meter Primary contains an assembly of two printed
circuit boards. The upper board contains the terminal blocks for the customer connections as well as
a terminal strip with a jumper block labeled J1 (shown in FIGURE 3-2). The proper position for this
jumper in the 10DS3111E is between the center terminal and the lower terminal marked 16A as
shown in the figure below.

6.3 Static Test

If improper operation of the meter is suspected, the following resistance measurements can be made
to establish whether an electrical malfunction has occurred. An analog multimeter is required for
checking the electrodes. Either an analog or digital multimeter can be used for checking the coils.
These measurements can be made at the flowmeter pc board.

WARNING
Equipment that operates from ac line voltage constitutes a potential
electric shock hazard to the user. Make certain that the system power is
disconnected before making the following ohmmeter checks.

6.3.1 Magnet Coil Check

6.3.1.1 Signal Converter
Verify that the system power service has been de-energized. Turn off the power to the signal
converter to de-energize the meter. Remove cable leads M1 and M2/M3 from the customer terminal
block. Measure magnet coil series resistance by connecting the ohmmeter between M1 and M2/M3.
The value displayed should correspond to that indicated in Table 6-1. A reading of infinity or a short
circuit between leads indicates defective coil(s). If proper coil resistance is verified, reconnect cable
leads to terminals M1 and M2/M3. If coil(s) is defective, meter must be returned to the factory for
service.

6.3.2 Electrode Check

The electrode check is essentially a resistance measurement that can be made to establish that a
short (or high resistance leakage path) does not exist between one, or both, electrodes and the meter
body. Verify that the system power service has been de-energized.

To perform this test, the meter must be removed from the pipeline and the meter liner thoroughly
dried. When the meter liner has been dried, proceed as follows:

1) Disconnect and identify(tag) the electrode signal leads, 1 and 2, from the terminal
board in the signal converter (or from the terminal board in the base of the meter
housing).

2) Place ohmmeter on highest available range (for example: R x 100,000).

3) Connect the ohmmeter "minus" lead to the meter ground stud and the "plus" lead
to electrode line 1. This reading should be infinite. If any resistance can be measured,
the meter is defective and must be replaced.

4) Check the other electrode by connecting the ohmmeter "plus" lead to line 2. This
reading must also be infinite. If any resistance can be measured, the meter is
defective and must be replaced.

5) If measurement of both electrodes indicate an infinite resistance reading, the meter

may then be returned to on-stream operation. LINES 1 AND 2 FROM THE RESPEC-
TIVE ELECTRODES MUST BE RECONNECTED TO TERMINALS 1 AND 2 OF THE
TERMINAL BOARD. DO NOT INTERCHANGE THESE PROCESS SIGNAL CON-
NECTIONS.
