Basic safety information
note
The device may be damaged by the fluid in contact with.
• Systematically check the chemical compatibility of the component materials of the device and the fluids likely to come into
contact with it (for example: alcohols, strong or concentrated
acids, aldehydes, alkaline compounds, esters, aliphatic compounds, ketones, halogenated aromatics or hydrocarbons,
oxidants and chlorinated agents).
note
Elements / Components sensitive to electrostatic discharges
This device contains electronic components sensitive to electrostatic discharges. They may be damaged if they are touched by an
electrostatically charged person or object. In the worst case scenario, these components are instantly destroyed or go out of order
as soon as they are activated.
• To minimise or even avoid all damage due to an electrostatic
discharge, take all the precautions described in the EN 613405-1 and 5-2 norms.
• Also ensure that you do not touch any of the live electrical
components.

5. DESCRIPTION
5.1. Area of application
The device is intended to measure, thanks to its oval rotors, the flow
rate of viscous fluids. It must be combined with a remote instrument
(such as transmitter type 8025 Universal or batch controller type 8025
Batch) which converts the pulse frequency due to oval rotors rotation.
5.2. General description
5.2.1. Construction
The device is built of a fitting which includes oval rotors and of a cover
including the electronic module with Hall effect sensor and Reed switch.
The oval rotors of the fitting contain magnets.
All the device versions provide an NPN transistor output and a Reed
switch output.
The electrical connection is made by a 1 meter 5-wire cable.
5.2.2. Measuring principle
When the fluid flows through the pipe, the oval rotors which contain
magnets turn (see Fig. 1). The displacement of magnets lead to a
variation of magnetic field. The sensor measures the variation of the
magnetic field and converts the signal into a frequency. The frequency
is available at both the NPN transistor and Reed switch outputs.

The remote instrument converts the frequency into a flow rate by
using the correct K factor.

If the device is combined with an instrument which does not
automatically convert the K factors, make the conversion
using one of the following formulae:
K factor in pulse/gallon US = K factor in pulse/l x 3,785 to
obtain flow rate in gallon US / time unit
K factor in pulse/gallon UK = K factor in pulse/l x 4,546 to
obtain flow rate in gallon UK / time unit.
7. INSTALLATION AND WIRING
7.1. Safety instructions
danger
Risk of injury due to high pressure in the installation.
