Handling Precautions

To obtain the optimum performance from the GF630/LF600F, GF630/LF610F and GF632 for years of continuous operation, observe the following precautions.

(1) Do not store or install the flowmeter in:Where there is direct sunlight.

Where there is snow and ice

Infrared switches may not function correctly.

Where excessive vibration or mechanical shock occurs.Where high temperature or high humidity conditions obtain.Where corrosive atmospheres exist.

That can be submerged under water.

Where there is a sloped floor. To put the flowmeter temporarily on the floor, place it carefully with something, such as a block, to support it so that the flowmeter will not topple over.

Places where there is following factors.

Factors to impede infrared switch to operate properly

Intense light such as direct sunlight and reflected sunlight by window glass or metal platePlace where brightness changes suddenly such as ON/OFF of lighting

Dense smoke or steam near the control panel

Those attached on the control panel such as rain (dew drop), snow, ice, mud and oil, and haze due to their attachment

Light reflecting object near the control panel, or reflecting object such as metal plate placed opposing to the control panel

When any of above factors is considered, take a measure for the proper operation of infrared switch such as to place a cover or to secure a space for at least a person to stand in front of the control panel.

When unable to avoid above factors, operate the EMF converter removing the factor by covering the control panel by hand so that light does not shine on it, by cleaning those attached on the control panel, or by standing in-between the reflecting object and the control panel to block the light.

(2)In the case that the piping is grounding rings(option) to each piping.

non-conductive material, make sure to install the flange of detector using the M3 or M4 screw before

(3) Wire cables correctly and securely.

Be sure to ground at the converter side (grounding resistance 100 ohm or less).

Avoid a common ground used with other equipment where earth current may flow. An independent ground is preferable

(4)Select cable paths away from electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or radio transmitters), which causes electromagnetic or electrostatic interference.

(5)The apparatus does not be provided with the cable connections.

Please prepare yourself for the cable connections which could be used in Division2 hazardous locations.

The cable lead-in section must be tightened securely to keep air tightness.

Handling Precautions (continued)

(6)If the inside of the converter and detector's terminal box are wetted or humidified, it may cause insulation deterioration, which can result in fault or noise occurrence. So do not conduct wiring in the open air on rainy days.

Also, be careful not to wet down the converter and detector's terminal box even in the case of indoor wiring, and complete wiring work in a short period of time.

(7)Make sure the fluid to be measured will not freeze in the detector pipe. This can cause damage to the detector pipe.

(8)Select appropriate wetted materials suited for the process fluid to be measured. Otherwise, fluid leakage due to corrosion can be caused.

(9)Observe the following precautions when you open the converter housing cover:

Do not open the cover in the open air unprotected against rain or wind. This can cause electric shock or cause damage to the flowmeter electronics.

Do not open the cover under high ambient temperature or high humidity

conditions or in corrosive atmospheres. This can cause deterioration of system accuracy or cause damage to the flowmeter electronics.

(10)Since a varistor is built in converter, do not conduct a withstand voltage test for the converter.

In addition, the voltage for checking the insulation of the converter must be 250VDC or lower.

(11)This product may cause interference to radio and television sets if they are used near the installation site. Use metal conduits etc. for cables to prevent this interference.

(12)Radio transmitters such as transceivers or cellular phones may cause interference to the flowmeter if they are used near the installation site. Observe the following precautions when using them:

Close a transmitter cover before using a transceiver.

Do not use a transceiver whose output power is more than 5 W.

Move the antenna of a transceiver or a cellular phone at least 50 cm away from the flowmeter and signal cables when using it.

Do not use a radio transmitter or a cellular phone near the flowmeter while it is operating online. The transmitter or cellular phone’s output impulse noise may interfere with the flowmeter.

Do not install a radio transmitter antenna near the flowmeter and signal cables.

(13)For reasons of flowmeter failure, inappropriate parameters, unsuitable cable connections or poor installation conditions, the flowmeter may not operate properly. To prevent any of these problems causing a system failure, it is recommended that you have preventive measures designed and installed on the flowmeter signal receiving side.

(14)For installation and connectirn of the converter, check the model number of converter and read the instruction manual of the relevant converter.

*We assume no responsibility for nonconformity caused by violation of precautions described in this manual or used in violation of the installation method and the operation method stipulated in a relevant ordinance or other regulations.

2. Overview

The GF630/LF600F, GF630/LF610F and GF632 electromagnetic flowmeter can be use in the following hazardous (classified) locations.

Class , Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D,

Class , Division 2, Groups E, F and G

Class

The GF630 and GF632 electromagnetic flowmeter measures the volumetric flow rates of electrically conductive materials on the basis of Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction.

The device consists of two units: the GF630 and GF632 detector, through which the fluid to be measured flows, and the converter, which receives the electromotive force signals from the detector, then converts the

signals into the 4–20 mA dc signal.

Features

Every type of electromagnetic flowmeter has the following features:

Fluid flow is not obstructed and pressure loss is negligible.

The process fluid's temperature, pressure, density or flow conditions has no effect on the accuracy of the flowmeter.

The flowmeter output is directly proportional to the process flow rate, thus it is easy to read its output.

4.1Notes on Selecting the Installation Location

1.Avoid places within the immediate proximity of equipment producing electrical interference (such as motors, transformers, radio transmitters, electrolytic cells, or other equipment causing electromagnetic or electrostatic interference).

2.Avoid places where excessive pipe vibration occurs.

3.Avoid places where fluid is pumped in a pulsating manner

4.Avoid places where there is direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use an appropriate shade

5.Avoid places where corrosive atmospheres or high humidity conditions obtain.

6.Avoid places where there may be limited access such as pipes installed next to high ceilings or constricted areas where clearance for installation or maintenance work is not provided.

7.Design piping so that the detector pipe is always filled with fluid, whether the fluid is flowing or not.

8.The detector has no adjustable piping mechanism. Install an adjustable short pipe where needed.

9.Chemical injections should be conducted on the downstream side of the flowmeter.

10. The maximum length of the cable that connects the detector and converter is 300m. Select the

converter installation location so that the distance between the detector and converter dose not exceed

Separate 300m.

4.2 Mounting Procedure

4.2.1 Pipe checks

(1) Before installing pipes, check for any leaning, misplacement or eccentricity as illustrated in Figure 4.1. An attempt to unreasonably connect pipes that are inclined may lead to a detector breakdown or fluid leakage. Connecting pipes in an eccentric state may also cause wears and tear of linings and grounding rings, as well as measurement errors.

Before installing pipes, make sure to flush the interior of the pipes to remove deposited material.
