2. DPW FLOW METERS TECHNICAL DATA

2.1 - Principles of Operation

PW liquid flow meters consist of a meter body that is installed in-line in a conduit

D

ystem. Inside, between the inlet and the outlet connections is a rotary wheel with

s

ermanent magnets embedded at 180 degrees in paddles.

p

Fluid flowing through the meter causes the paddle to spin. A magnetic sensor picks
up the frequency of pulses, and the readings are proportional to the liquid flow
taking place. The number of pulses per unit time interval and a K-factor (pulses/unit
of flow) facilitate determining the volumetric rate of flow through the meter.

Additionally, the DPW Flow Meter incorporates a Microcontroller driven circuitry
and non-volatile memory that stores all hardware specific variables. The flow rate
can be displayed in 29 different volumetric or mass flow engineering units. Flow
meter parameters and functions can be programmed remotely via the RS-232/RS­485 interface or locally via optional LCD/KeyPad. DPW flow meters support various
functions including: two programmable flow totalizers, low, high or range flow and
temperature alarms, 2 programmable optically isolated outputs, 0 to 5 Vdc / 4 to 20
mA analog outputs (jumper selectable) for each process (flow and temperature)
variable, self diagnostic alarm. Optional local 2x16 LCD readout with adjustable
back light provides flow rate, temperature, total volume reading in currently
selected engineering units, diagnostic events indication and feature a password
protected access to the process parameters to ensure against tampering or
resetting.

2.2 - Electrical Connections

DPW flow meter is supplied with “M16” cylindrical 12 pin connector. Pin diagram is

ARNING

W

o avoid risk of serious injury or death, make sure power is OFF when connecting

T

r disconnecting any cables in the system.

o

Do not apply power voltage above 2 Vdc. Doing so will cause

PW damage or faulty operation.

D

The (+) and (-) power inputs are each protected by a 300 mA M (medium time-lag)
resettable fuse. If a shorting condition or polarity reversal occurs, the fuse will cut
power to the flow transducer circuit. Disconnect the power to the unit, remove the
faulty condition, and reconnect the power. The fuse will reset once the faulty
condition has been removed.

Use of the DPW flow meter in a manner other than that specified in this manual or
in writing from Dwyer

®

, may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

2.2.2 Analog Output Signals Connections

CAUTION

When connecting the load to the output terminals, do not

exceed the rated values shown in the specifications. Failure to
do so might cause damage to this device. Be sure to check if the wiring and the
polarity of the power supply is correct before turning the power ON. Wiring error
may cause damage or faulty operation.

DPW series Flow Meters are equipped with either calibrated 0 to 5 or calibrated 4
to 20 mA output signals (jumper selectable). This linear output signal represents
0 to 100% of the flow meter’s full scale range.

WARNING

The 4 to 20 mA current loop output is self-powered (sourcing

type, non-isolated). Do NOT connect an external voltage source
to the output signals.

WARNING

Observe jumper configuration before connecting 4 to 20 mA

current loop load. Failure to make proper jumper configuration
(see Figure 5-1) may cause damage for output circuitry. Do NOT connect an
external voltage source to the output signals.

4.9.4 - Submenu Flow Meter Measure Mode Tabular Entry

Signal Processing software algorithm can be set to calculate flow rate based on two
different methods:

a) number of pulses over preset measure interval
b) pulse width measurement

First method (a) was explained earlier (see Section 4.9.2). Second method (b)
allows get quick response time and best resolution of the flow rate, but with
pulsating or especially noisy flow environment the stability of the flow rate reading
may be compromised. A digital filter (noise reduction algorithm) is available in
the flow meter when pulsating flow or especially noisy signals are encountered (see
Sections 4.9.5 and 4.9.6). The digital filter improves the displayed instantaneous
flow values.

The digital filter only works with pulse width measurement method and is not
applicable for flow measurement mode (a) – “number of pulses over measure
interval”. A typical display with Measure Mode selection is shown below. By default

encountered. There are two parameters that make up Signal Processing Control:
Damping Time and Number of Samples. They are described individually below.
Damping Time: The damping value can be selected between 0 and 99 seconds.
The value represents the response time of the running average flow rate change.
The higher the damping value the longer the response time of the filter. If noise
reduction filter is not desired it may be disabled by setting Damping Time parameter
to zero. By default unit shipped from the factory with Damping Time value set to 5.

low value. The valid range for flow values is from 0.000000 to 1.000000 (note:

f
DPW will accept up to 6 digits after decimal point). Sensor readings are entered in
pulses and should always be in the range of 10 to 4000. There are 11 elements in
the table so the data should be obtained at an increment of 10.0% FS (0.0, 10.0,

6. DPW FLOW CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

NOTE: REMOVAL OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED CALIBRATION SEALS

AND/OR ANY ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE METER, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS
SECTION, WILL VOID ANY CALIBRATION WARRANTY APPLICABLE.

Note: All adjustments in this section are made from the outside of the meter via
digital communication interface between a PC (terminal) and DPW or via local
LCD/keypad. There is no need to disassemble any part of the instrument or perform
internal PCB component (potentiometers) adjustment.

6.1 - Connections and Initial Warm Up

Power up the DPW Flow Meter for at least 1 minute prior to commencing the
calibration procedure. Establish digital RS-485/RS-232 communication between
PC (communication terminal) and the DPW. Start Dwyer
maintenance software on the PC.

Z – the calculated ToutOffset_mA value.

®

supplied calibration and

Note: Do not alter memory index 62 (must be 0.0) and 63 (must be 0 counts).
These numbers represent zero flow calibration points and should not be changed.

If a new calibration table is going to be created, it is recommended to start
calibration from 100% FS. If only linearity adjustment is required, calibration can be
started in any intermediate portion of the gas table.

Using the flow regulator, adjust the flow rate to 100% FS flow. Check the flow rate
indicated against the flow calibrator. Observe the flow reading on the DPW. If the
difference between calibrator and DPW flow reading is more than 0.5% FS, make
a correction in the sensor reading in the corresponding position of the linearization
table (see Index 83).

If the DPW flow reading is more than the calibrator reading, the number of counts
in the index 83 must be decreased. If the DPW flow reading is less than the
calibrator reading, the number of counts in the index 83 must be increased. Once
Index 83 is adjusted with a new value, check the DPW flow rate against the
calibrator and, if required, perform additional adjustments for Index 83.
If a simple communication terminal is used for communication with the DPW, then
“MW” (Memory Write) command from the software interface commands set may be
used to adjust sensor value in the linearization table (see section 8.3 for complete
software interface commands list). Memory Read “MR” command can be used to
read the current value of the index.

Assuming the DPW is configured with RS-485 interface and has address “11”, the
following example will first read the existing value of Index 83 and then write a new
adjusted value:

!11,MR,83[CR] - reads EEPROM address 83
!11,MW,83,1200[CR] - writes new sensor value (1200 counts) in to the index 83
Once 100% FS calibration is completed, the user can proceed with calibration for
another 9 points of the linearization table by using the same approach.

Note: Once memory index 83 is changed the device firmware will automatically
update Calibration Factor (EEPROM index 61).

Note: It is recommended to use Dwyer

he standard DPW comes with an RS-485 interface. For the optional RS-232

T
interface, the start character (!) and two hexadecimal characters for the address
must be omitted. The protocol described below allows for communications with the
unit using either a custom software program or a “dumb terminal.” All values are

ent as printable ASCII characters. For RS-485 interface, the start character is

s

lways (!). The command string is terminated with a carriage return (line feeds are

a

utomatically stripped out by the DPW). See Section 2.2.5 for information regarding

a

ommunication parameters and cable connections.

.1 - Common Conditions

8

our DPW Flow Meter was thoroughly checked at numerous quality control points

Y
during and after manufacturing and assembly operations. It was calibrated
according to your desired flow and pressure conditions for a given fluid. It was
carefully packed to prevent damage during shipment. Should you feel that the

nstrument is not functioning properly, please check for the following common

i

onditions first:

c

re all cables connected correctly? Are there any leaks in the installation? Is the

A
power supply correctly selected according to requirements? When several meters
are used a power supply with appropriate current rating should be selected. Were
the connector pinouts matched properly? When interchanging with other

anufacturers' equipment, cables and connectors must be carefully wired for

m

orrect pin configurations. Is the pressure differential across the instrument

c

ufficient?

s

ikely Reason

No.
