Introduction

INTRODUCTION
The MR flow transmitter is a state-of-the-art, microprocessor based variable area flow
meter. It combines the rugged proven technology of a piston-type, variable area flow meter
with solid-state circuitry including:
• Non-contact sensor electronics
• Electronic signal conditioning circuit
• Digital flow rate and total indication
• Proportional analog output
The product is sealed against industrial contamination by a NEMA 12 and 13 (IP 52/54)
rated enclosure and is available for either liquid or gas service.
The MR flow transmitter is capable of calculating and displaying both flow rate and
total accumulated flow. The flow rate and total flow can be displayed in any of the user
selectable measurement units. The monitor’s large 8 digit numeric liquid crystal display
makes extended range viewing practical. The second 8 character alphanumeric display
provides for selectable units viewing in RUN mode and prompts for variables in
PROGRAM mode.
All MR flow transmitters come pre-calibrated from the factory. However, the unit may be
adjusted by the user to meet specific system requirements. Calibration parameters are
included for:
• Specific gravity compensation (all fluids)
• Viscosity compensation (petroleum-based fluids)
• Pressure and temperature compensation (pneumatic applications)
All meters include an analog output that can be configured for 0…5V DC, 0…10V DC, or
4…20 mA current loop.

Installation

INSTALLATION
THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TRAINED IN MAINTAINING INDUSTRIAL CLASS FLOW INSTRUMENTATION AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT.
READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING PRODUCT INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE, CALL YOUR LOCAL SUPPLIER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE OPENING WIRING ENCLOSURE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
ALL WIRING SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE® AND MUST CONFORM TO ANY APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL CODES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
AIR/GAS METERS ARE NOT OXYGEN CLEANED. USE WITH OXYGEN MAY CAUSE HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE CONDITIONS THAT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
THIS METER MAY CONTAIN RESIDUAL AMOUNTS OF TEST FLUID AT THE TIME OF SHIPMENT. THIS FLUID SHOULD BE REMOVED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AS THE FLUID MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE OR HAZARDOUS WITH SOME LIQUIDS OR GASES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
THIS STANDARD METER IS UNIDIRECTIONAL. ATTEMPTS TO FLOW FLUIDS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE FLOW ARROW WILL RESULT IN THE METER ACTING AS A CHECK VALVE, CREATING A DEADHEADING SITUATION. IF THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE MAGNITUDE IS GREAT ENOUGH, DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE METER WILL RESULT.

Installation

Installation Recommendations

The transmitter is a simple device to install. However, the following measures are
recommended for reliable, trouble-free operation:
• Align pipe accurately. Piping should be accurately aligned and of correct length. The high pressure body of the transmitter can withstand shock and flow/pressure pulsation. However, the piping should be firmly supported by external mounting brackets, both upstream and downstream of the meter, to avoid any pipe flexing actions that could reduce meter life.
• Use rigid mounting. If the transmitter inlet or outlet are to be rigidly mounted, and the opposing port is to be connected to flexible hose, the end connected with the flexible hose must be rigidly mounted.
• Use Teflon® tape for sealing NPT fitting.
• Install unions. Install a union near the inlet or outlet of the transmitter. This will facilitate quick, easy meter removal and inspection during periodic maintenance procedures.
• Make sure the fluid is traveling in the direction of the flow arrow. See “Figure 1: Flow
direction arrow” on page6.
OTE:N The MR flow transmitter display board can be rotated 180° for optimal viewing. Simply remove
the MR flow transmitter cover, disconnect the ribbon cable, rotate the display board 180°, reconnect the ribbon cable, and reinstall cover. See Figure 10 for cover screw tightening sequence.
• Use at least a 200 mesh (74 micron) filter. The transmitter will allow particulate to pass that would jam most valves and flow controls. Systems that do not have filtration should be equipped with at least a 200 mesh (74 micron) filter. Most hydraulic systems already have much finer filtration. Dirt, ferrous metal or sealing agents, such as Teflon® tape may lodge and cause malfunction. If the meter is jammed at a fixed position, follow cleaning and maintenance instructions.
• Do not use thread locking compounds as thread sealant.
• Do not install the transmitter near turbulence producing fittings such as elbows,
reducers, or close coupled valves. The transmitter does not require flow straighteners or special lengths of straight inlet/outlet piping to stabilize turbulent flow patterns. However, to assure maximum operational reliability, avoid installation of elbows, valves and/or reducers immediately adjacent to the meter inlet.
• Do not install the transmitter near fast-acting valves. Fast-acting valves have the potential to create high magnitude hydraulic pressure spikes. These spikes can damage the internal components of the meter, resulting in inaccuracies or malfunction.
• Do not allow unidirectional transmitters to be operated against the direction of the flow arrow. The standard transmitter is a unidirectional flow meter. The piston acts as a check valve to block flow in the reverse direction. This causes an excessive pressure differential, which can result in damage to internal meter components. The transmitter is also available in a modified design, which offers a reverse flow bypass feature to
accommodate bidirectional flow.

Installation

Installing the Transmitter

1. Disconnect the electrical power from the target system before making or changing any transmitter connections.
2. Use 0.05 A fast-acting fuse if non-current limited power sources are used.
3. Terminate cable shield connection at either DC ground or earth ground.
4. Mount the transmitter so uid is traveling in the direction of the ow arrow.

Flow Inlet
Figure 1: Flow direction arrow
5. Install unit in desired location. Use wrench on transmitter ats to hold the unit in place during installation. DO NOT TURN the transmitter using the wrench.
6. After installation, rotate the transmitter by hand to view the display.
7. Capture the zero ow position on the meter cone using the ZERO CAPTURE procedure.
Place wrench on transmitter flats on the same side plumbing is being tightened.
Never place wrench on transmitter flats
opposite plumbing being tightened.
Rotate transmitter by hand only to view flow scale. Never use wrench on flats to
rotate transmitter.
