The Series IEF Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Transmitter is an adjustable
insertion owmeter featuring electromagnetic technology that accurately and reliably
measures uid velocity in addition to providing several continuous signal outputs.
This series is specically designed to offer superior performance paired with simple
installation and use. One unit is adjustable to t pipe sizes from 4 to 36˝ (102 to
914 mm), and offers several output options including selectable BACnet MS/TP or
Modbus® RTU communications protocol over 2-wire RS-485 in addition to the standard
analog, frequency and alarm outputs.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
• Per Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction, a voltage is induced in a
conductor when it passes through a magnetic eld, and the induced voltage will be
directly proportional to the velocity of the conductor.
• The Series IEF Flow Transmitter generates pulsating magnetic elds in the probe
to induce a voltage into a conductive uid owing through the pipe.
• Electrodes located on the probe measure the induced voltage. Electronics and
rmware within the enclosure convert the voltage to velocity and ow rate while
using various outputs to convey the data to connected systems (i.e. display
devices, data acquisition systems, or BTU meters).

INSTALLATION
1. To prepare the meter for installation, mount the provided alignment scale to the
side of the meter with the two provided thumbscrews. The thumbscrews are to be
inserted through the alignment scale slots and into the holes in the side of the lid
as shown in Figure 4, nger tighten only. Be sure to orient the alignment scale as
shown in gure below. Actual scale setting determined in next step.
For Field Congurable Models
2. For eld conguration, a display is required (-LCD option or accessory A-IEF DSP) and needs to be powered via normal eld wiring or with the AC wall adapter
accessory A-IEF-PA ( A-IEF-DSP and A-IEF-PA are also available in the
accessory setup kit A-IEF-KIT).
3. When using the AC wall adapter and the cable is supplied, connect the red
(positive +) and black (common -) wires of the cable bundle marked “A” to the
open terminals of the AC wall adapter. This will provide temporary power to the
meter to complete the installation set up.
4. For eld wiring, refer to the wiring chart tag attached to the Series IEF to identify
the terminal block pins for positive (+) and common (-) connection.
5. Unscrew the four captured cover screws using the supplied 3 mm Allen wrench
to remove and set aside enclosure cover.
6. Insert one connector of the ribbon cable supplied in the setup kit into the
connector labeled “Display” in the middle of the unit. Be sure to orient the keying
feature/tab. See Figure 5 below:

b. Remove the ow alignment rod and loosen the thumbscrews to slide the
alignment tool up to allow removal of the depth alignment rod. Store both
rods in the storage slots on the sides of the alignment scale. Tighten
thumbscrews and leave alignment tool mounted on unit for storage.
GROUNDING
Metallic Pipe
For proper operation the instrument must be earth grounded.
Connect a ground wire to meter housing via the ground lug on the housing collet.
Connect the ground wire to a known earth ground.
If the pipe is grounded, connect the ground wire to the metal pipe using suitable
devices such as grounding clamps.

Determining probe insertion depth for models with a display
The Series IEF transmitter will calculate the probe insertion depth used with -LCD
display option or A-IEF-DSP display when the steps below are followed.
Follow the on screen directions for entering the circumference and wall thickness
dimensions. See the Electronic Control Data Setup section of this manual for more
information.
NOTICE
A-IEF-MSTP to obtain these measurements. When the precise pipe measurement
information is known, select option 2 (High Performance Setup) under the Install Kit
Menu when prompted by the display as shown below. Precise pipe measurements
are required for a high performance installation.
1. To measure the pipe circumference remove any existing insulation at the
location where the transmitter will be installed. Wrap the tape measure around
the pipe to measure the circumference at the selected location using the
100ths side of the tape. Record this measurement for entering into the unit
when the circumference measurement is requested.
It is recommended to use the A-IEF-KIT which includes a setup
display A-IEF-DSP, thickness gage UTG and measuring tape
Determining probe insertion depth for models without a display
For models without a display the following formulas allow for calculating the alignment
scale value for setting the depth of the probe into the pipe. Also included are wall
thickness charts for various pipe materials and sizes.
Pipes < 11 in (< 279 mm) diameter: 7.1625-1/2*D
Pipes 12 inches to 36 inches: 7.1625-(0.1*(D-2*WT))+WT
Where D represents the pipe outer diameter and WT represents the pipe wall
thickness, both in inches. Measurement of the outside diameter and wall thickness
can be accomplished as described in the previous section, Determining probe insertion
depth for models with a display, or similar method. Precise pipe measurements are
required for a high performance installation.
Position the alignment scale such that the alignment scale setting is lined-up with
the seam of the enclosure as shown in Figure 13. Minor scale marks are in 1/20ths
Securely tighten the thumbscrews.
2. To measure the wall thickness of the pipe use the thickness gage UTG. Following
the separate directions provided with the UTG gage and record the thickness.
This measurement will be needed to enter into the unit after the circumference
data is entered.
After installation is complete a table of conguration values can be gathered from the
transmitter to print out and insert into one of the hanging plastic envelopes for future
reference. The housing cover/display needs to be removed for access to the display
port to retrieve the table of conguration values. To do so:
1. Unscrew the four captured cover screws using the supplied 3 mm Allen wrench
to remove the enclosure cover. Leave the display cable connected to the main
unit.
2. Insert a customer supplied mini-USB cable into the USB connector on the bottom
side of the display PCB.
3. Connect the other end into a standard USB port in a laptop.
4. The Series IEF transmitter will appear as a standard USB drive on the laptop.
5. The le name with the conguration values is in the format of:
serial number.txt. The serial number can be found on the product label on the
side of the transmitter.
6. Print out the conguration values and insert into one of the hanging plastic
envelopes for future reference
7. Re-attach the housing cover/display by reinserting the four 3 mm screws.

On the terminal block PCBA there is a jumper, J1 (see Figure 15), that enables or
disables a network termination resistor as dened below:
When the network jumper is placed in the ON position there is a 120 ohm termination
resistor in place. When the network jumper is placed in the OFF position there is no
termination resistor in place.
