An magnetic flowmeter is used
for volume flow measurement of
electrically conductive liquids.
Measurement principle is based
on Faraday law on electromag­netic induction. A sensor con­sists of a non-magnetic tube
with non-conductive lining,
measuring electrodes and two
coils generating electromag­netic field. Flowing liquid forms
a conductor. Magnetic field in­duces voltage U in this conduc­tor that is proportional to mag­netic induction B, distance be­tween electrodes d and flow
velocity v.

U = B x d x v

As magnetic induction and dis­tance between electrodes are
constant, induced voltage is
proportional to velocity of liquid
flow in the tube. Volume flow
rate is product of flow velocity
and tube cross section.

Q = v x S

Principle of measurement

Technical solution

The magnetic flowmeter itself
consists of two basic parts – a
flow sensor and a converter.
The converter can be either an
integral part of the sensor
(compact version) or separated,
connected with the sensor us­ing a cable (remote version).
The sensor consists of a non­magnetic tube with non­conductive lining, measuring
electrodes, excitation coils and
cables. There are various sen­sor versions available enabling
connection to adjacent tubes
with flanges (type P) and fittings
(gas fitting type G or food indus­try fitting type V) or wafer which
are installed between flanges
using clamps (type B). Non­conductive lining can be made
of technical rubber (types TG,
MG or NG) or Teflon (type T).
The converter is used for gener­ating excitation current in coils,
processing of signal from meas­uring electrodes, displaying of
measured data and generating
output signals. Current in exci­tation coils has constant value
250 mA or 125 mA and is pulse

generated with alternating po­larity to avoid permanent mag­netization of the sensor. Excita­tion pulse frequency can be
chosen from six values – 25 Hz,
12,5 Hz, 8,33 Hz, 6,25 Hz,
3,125 Hz and 1,56 Hz. Excita­tion current of 250 mA with ex­citation frequency 3,125 Hz is
suitable for all standard applica­tions. Other settings can be
used for specific applications.
Excitation current and fre­quency are factory set before
sensor calibration and their later
modifications are not allowed.

Voltage induced in measuring
electrodes is measured always
on the end of excitation pulse
when magnetic field is steady.
Each excitation pulse is fol­lowed by refreshing period. Sig­nal processing and parameter
setting are performed digitally
and the converter contains no
setting controls or other moving
parts what ensures its high reli­ability and long-term stability.

The flowmeter will give the best
results when flow of liquid is
steady. Therefore a few basic
recommendations should be
observed for its locating in a
pipeline. There should be no
transitions between the sensor
and the adjacent pipeline that
could be a source of turbulence.
Correct axial alignment should
be observed during installation.
A gasket should not exceed
internal edges of tubes.

If more interfering elements are
present near the sensor (e.g.
bends, fittings), required steady
length should be multiplied by
number of these interfering ele­ments.
Reductions with slopes up to 8°
can be included in steady
lengths.

Minimum straight steady
lengths of pipeline are required
on both sides of the flow sen­sor. Their lengths have to be
proportional to pipeline internal
diameter.

If water in the pipeline is
pumped by a water pump, the
sensor should be always lo­cated behind the pump to avoid
low pressure that can damage
the sensor. Steady length of at

least 25DN is required between
the pump and the sensor.

Fig. 6 - A water pump

For the same reason, never
locate stop valves behind the
sensor.

Fig. 7 - Stop valves

The sensor can work both in
horizontal and vertical positions;
only axis of measuring elec­trodes inside the sensor must
always remain in horizontal po­sition and tapping of the sensor
should be directed upwards at
horizontal installations.

Fig. 8 - Electrode axis

For vertical installations, liquid
should flow upwards.

Fig. 9 - Vertical installation

To ensure correct measurement
and to avoid air lock, whole
sensor cross section should be
flooded. Therefore never locate
the sensor in upper parts of the
pipeline or in vertical positions
with liquid flowing downwards.

Fig.10 - Danger of air lock

If permanent flooding of whole
pipeline cross section cannot be
ensured, it is possible to locate
the sensor in a low water trap
so that it can be always com­pletely flooded. Free water dis­charge should be located 2DN
higher than the sensor.

Fig.11 - Permanent flooding

To avoid vibrations that could
damage the sensor, ensure that
the adjacent pipeline is always
supported as near to the sensor
as possible.

Fig.12 - Danger of vibrations

Where continuous flow of fluid
is required and removal of the
sensor is impossible, a bypass
should be installed. The same
applies for locations where sen­sor removal would require
draining of too long part of the
pipeline.

Correct function of the magnetic
flowmeter requires perfect elec­trical connection between the
sensor and the adjacent pipe­line, grounding potential and the
power supply protective wire.
For the flanged sensor with the
adjacent conducting pipeline,
flanges should be electrically
connected and the pipeline
grounded.

If the adjacent pipeline is
non-conductive, grounding rings
should be inserted in it or
equivalent method should be

connection of sensor clamping
flanges with grounding point of
the sensor.

If electric current flows through
the pipeline, e.g. for pipeline
cathodic protection against cor­rosion, the sensor should be
electrically isolated from the
adjacent pipeline. The sensor
should be bridged over using a
wire and galvanic isolation of
the flowmeter power supply
should be provided so that the
flowmeter can be isolated from
all other devices.

Sensor grounding

Selection of suitable sensor lining and electrode material

Linings

Sensors have a non-conductive
lining from various materials.
Choice of material depends on
measured fluid characteristics.

· Technical rubber

Technical rubber is suitable for
low aggressive fluids with op­erational temperatures from 0.1
°C to 70 °C. It fits for most wa­ter management and sewage
treatment applications. It is
manufactured in two variants

“TG” – with hard structure and
“MG” – with soft structure. Soft

structure is used for fluids with
higher content of abrasive parti­cles (e.g. sand). It is not suit­able for drinking water.

· Resistant rubber

Type “NG” is suitable for me­dium aggressive fluids with op­erational temperatures from 0.1
°C to 90 °C. It can be used for
measurement of hot service
water, condensate etc., as well
as for drinking water. If tem-

perature 100 °C can be ex­ceeded, Teflon (PTFE) lining is
recommended.

· Teflone or Hallar

Type “T” is the most universal
lining for aggressive fluids with
operational temperatures from ­20 °C to 150 °C. It is suitable for
chemical and food industry ap­plications.

Electrodes

Choice of material of measuring
electrodes also depends on
measured fluid characteristics.

· Stainless steel – “Ss”

Standard electrodes are made
of stainless steel AISI 316Ti.
They are suitable for all usual
water based fluids and for lower
concentrations of acids and
caustics.

· Hastelloy C-22 – “Ha”

For some special applications,
material of higher quality should
be used. Hastelloy C-276 elec-

trodes are characterized by in­creased resistance against ac­ids and caustics and usually are
suitable for most of industrial
applications.

· Titanium - „Ti“

Suitable for some acids,
lyes, chlorine, urea and sew­age.

· Platinum – “Pt”

For particularly aggressive flu­ids like concentrated acids and
caustics, chemically extremely
resistant material should be
chosen – platinum. However,
high cost of this material is its
essential drawback.

* Note – We can recommend
suitable lining and electrode
materials for your particular ap­plication.

Converter is capable to detect
flow rates as low as 0.1 m/s.
Upper limit is determined by
capability of liquid to maintain
continuous flow at higher veloci­ties. This is usually true for flow
rates up to 12 m/s.

Measurement error rapidly
increases for too low flow rates,
as can be seen in the diagram.
It shows limits of maximum rela­tive measurement error as func­tion of liquid flow rate.

On the other side, too high
flow rate causes discontinuity of
flow and results in chaotic tur­bulence and vacuum traps. This
results in instable measurement
and too high drift of flow rate
values.

Ideal operational range of the
sensor is in range from 0.5 to 5
m/s. This range is highlighted in
the diagram for correct size se­lection.

Flow rate ranges for individual
sizes are chosen to meet EN

14154 standard and they are
shown in table. Preferred
ranges are highlighted in bold.
For non-specified working me­ters, other range can be also
specified on request.

If range is not specified in a
purchase order, the sensor will
be calibrated in preferred range
in accordance with the table
above.

Main advantage of the mag­netic flowmeter FLOMAG3000
is its significant variability. Flow­meter converter in basic version
consists only of power supply,
microcomputer and sensor in­put module (module 1). Display,
outputs and other optional fea­tures are available as plug-in
modules. Thus, customer pays
only for features that he really
uses. Plug-in modules contain
memories where all configura­tion data is stored. In this way,
optional features can be added
or modified as required anytime
during the service life of the
flowmeter.

There are 4 free positions
available (module 4, 5, 6 and 7)
for binary and analog output
modules. Their signals are usu­ally processed by connected
technological devices. All output
modules have galvanic isola­tion. At the same time, up to 4
binary output modules can be
fitted. These can operate either
as pulse or frequency outputs
for flow rate indication. Alterna-

relay. One position (module 7)
is dedicated for the active ana­log output module. Modules
with various accuracy and
ranges are available. One posi­tion (module 6) is designed for

the serial communication mod­ule. RS 232, RS 485 or M­Bus interface can be plugged

For the remote sensor, there
is a terminal box in its tapping
(see figure 21). The sensor
should be connected to the con­verter using a double shielded

cable. You can use our special
sensor cable PAAR-LiYCY-CY

to 200 m) or standard double

Maximum length of the cable
between evaluation unit and the
sensor is significantly limited by
conductivity of measured fluid,
as shown in Figure 23.
Remote version should be used
when measured fluid is too hot
to avoid heat transfer to con­verter. See Figure 24 for as­sessment of remote version

signal wires is highly inappropri­ate; especially in case of the
cable that connects the sensor
with the remote converter. If the
instrument is used in environ­ment with strong electromag­netic interference, cables
should be rather as short as
possible.
For connection of electronic
converter input and output ter­minals, shielded cables are suit-

able.
For connection of mains volt­age, a standard three-core ca­ble, e.g. CYKY 3x1,5 (wire) or

·Sensor constants – sen-

·Excitation frequency – of

·Excitation current – of

·Suppressed flow rate –
when flow rate is lower than
this value, it is considered
for zero. This setting is used
to suppress creeping flows.

·Number of samples – for
floating averaging that filters
measured flow rate value.
Higher number of samples

provides more stable flow
rate value, however it in­creases time constant and

causes delayed reaction to
flow rate changes.

·Filters
¨Noise filter partially re-

duces jump changes but
mainly removes lower peri­odical interference. Tran­sient edges are rounded as
can be seen in figure of re­sponse to unit jump. The
filter is applied already on
input and thus influences
immediate flow rate value
and cumulated volume cal­culated from it. The noise
filter introduces only negligi-

ble delay (about 0.3 sec)
and can be used almost at
all circumstances.
¨Dynamic filter reduces
rapid jump changes of flow
rate. It protects very effec­tively against high short
peaks caused by interfer­ence. Unlike averaging, dy­namic filter cuts input signal
and interference is not in­cluded in cumulated vol­ume. It can however cause
delay of flow rate jump
change indication. This fact
should be considered if the
flowmeter is used for dosing
applications. Response to
unit jump can be seen in
figure.

Modules A – analog current
output – are used for flow data
transmission. There are 4 differ­ent types available with various
ranges, accuracy and functions.

Outputs of A1 to A3, A5 and
A6 modules are active (forced
current) and are galvanically
isolated from other flowmeter
parts. Outputs can be loaded up
to 1000 Ω. They can be plugged
only in position 7.

A4 and A7 modules have pas­sive current output (it has to be
powered externally) and are
also galvanically isolated.
Unlike A1-A3, A5, A6 modules,
it can be plugged in positions 4,
5 and 6.

Binary output modules B1 - B5

Flowmeter converter can con­trol up to 4 multifunctional bi­nary outputs in positions 4 – 7.
Following table indicates differ­ences between individual mod­ules:

Outputs can work as pulse,
frequency or status outputs.
Individual functions are ex­plained in detail in following
section.

Binary module func­tions

· Normally closed/open

These modes are used for ser­vice purposes.

· Pulse outputs (not)

In this mode, a pulse is gener­ated immediately after preset
volume has flowed. Pulse gen­eration is determined by three
factors: pulse length “tu”, mini-

Tab. Binary output modules

mal delay between two pulses
“tD” and volume per pulse “V”.

Flow rate values are time inte­grated. Immediately after preset
volume per pulse has flowed,
the pulse of length tu is gener­ated. After the pulse, there is a
delay of length at least tD. If the
delay expires and the preset
volume has not flowed again,
the output remains inactive;
otherwise, another pulse and
delay are generated immedi­ately. If the preset volume flows
through sooner than the previ­ous pulse is finished, the unsent
pulse will be stored in a buffer
with maximum capacity of 255
pulses. If buffer overflow oc­curs, an error message will be
generated. It follows from above
mentioned that parameters of
pulse output should be set such
that expected pulse frequency
cannot exceed limit frequency
determined by pulse length and
delay.

It applies: Maximum pulse
frequency [s-1] = 1 / (tu + tD)

Volume per pulse can be set in
range from 1 to 109 ml with 1 ml
step, i.e. from 1 ml to 1000 m3.
Delay and pulse lengths can be
set in range form 10 ms to 2550
ms with 10 ms step. It follows
from above mentioned that the
maximum pulse frequency is 50
s-1.

Pulses can be generated in
three modes depending on flow
rate, and pulse polarity can be
set (output is closed during
pulse or open in not modes).

Fig. Pulse generation

Fig. IQI pulses

Fig. Q+ pulses

Fig. Q- pulses

· Frequency outputs

In this mode of operation, fre­quency is generated on output
modules. Pulse to delay ratio is
always 1:1. Warning! Only two
frequency generators in posi­tions 4 and 5 are available for
the converter. This function is
blocked in positions 6 and 7.
Maximum frequency in position
4 is 12 kHz and in position 5
only 1.2 kHz. If these limit fre­quencies are exceeded, output
frequency will be limited and an
error message will be gener­ated.

Frequency outputs can work in
three modes of frequency de­pendence on flow rate.

Setting is done by selecting of
flow rate corresponding to 1
kHz output frequency.

Fixed frequency mode is used
for service purposes. Required
frequency is set directly in Hz in
range 1-120000 Hz in position 4
and 1-1200 Hz in position 5.

· Negative/non-negative

flow rate

This mode is used for flow di­rection differentiation. Output is
closed/open for negative flow
rate.

· Failure occurred/not oc-

curred

If failure with mode set to active
(see error messages) occurs,
the output closes/opens for at
least 5 seconds. If failure per­sists, output is closed/open for
whole period of failure duration.

· Limit flow rate exceeded/

undergone (not)

If flow rate is higher/lower than
limit value set, the output closes
(opens). When flow rate returns
to limits, the output opens
(closes) again taking in account
preset hysteresis. This function

C1, D1, D2 and D3 modules

Modules C1, D1, D2 and D3
are used for data communica­tion. All these modules are gal­vanically isolated from flow­meter circuits. They can be in­stalled only in position 6 and
their signals are output to termi­nals 10 and 11. Interface
RS232 is the only exception, as
it needs 3 wires.

C1 – RS232 inter­face

It is used primarily for
service purposes, be­cause maximum cable
length from the converter
to a computer is 15 me­ters and only one con­verter can be connected
to a single link.

Connection to the com­puter equipped with RS232 in­terface is done using an in­cluded cable. Thread one end
of the cable through a cable
bushing and connect it to 3-pin
connector behind terminals 10-

11. The other end of the cable
is equipped with CANON 9M
connector. This ensures leading
of RS232 interface signals out
of converter box while protec­tion level IP66 is maintained.

The interface is connected to
the computer using a crosslink
cable Laplink 9F-9F.

D1 – RS485 interface

It is used for permanent con­nection of multiple converters to
the computer. It enables con-

communication network using a
twisted pair link cable with total
length of 1200 meters. Number
of stations and length of cables
can be increased by using re-

peaters. Stations are connected
to the link in parallel. The most
distant ends of line have to be
equipped with terminating resis­tors 120 Ω.

When setting stations, be
sure to set the same baud rate
for all of them and to set a
unique address for each of
them. MASTER address is al­ways set to “0” and addresses
of individual stations can be set
in range 1-254.

D2 – Data current loop
interface 0/20 mA

It is used for permanent con­nection of multiple converters to
the computer. It enables con­necting of multiple stations on
long distances. Data transfer
via current coding 0/20 mA is

Disadvantage of this configura­tion is that if one station fails,
then whole network breaks
down.

Standard M-Bus (Meter-Bus)
is designed for applications of
data acquisition from various
media consumption meters. It
enables connecting of many
devices (hundreds of them) on
distance of several kilometers.

F1, F2 and F3 modules

F1 – F3 modules are used for
full pipe check and for electro­chemical cleaning of electrodes.

F1-Electrochemical
electrode cleaning mod-

ule

During operation of the flow­meter, a non-conductive layer
can be formed on sensor elec­trodes. This layer increases
contact resistance between
electrodes and measured fluid
and results in lower measure­ment accuracy.

F1 module enables measur­ing electrode cleaning without
need of sensor deinstallation.
The method is based on elec­trochemical effect. Alternating
voltage is connected to elec­trodes and the deposited layer
dissolves in liquid. This cleaning
should be performed periodi-

cally.

The cleaning cycle takes 1
minute. During cleaning, no real
measurement is performed.
Flow rate measured before start
of cleaning is simulated. Clean­ing cycle duration can be indi­cated using binary outputs.
Running cleaning process is
indicated on display by moving
full character on upper line.

The instrument offers several
possibilities of cleaning cycle
start:

If ONCE is selected, a single
cleaning cycle is immediately
performed and then the instru­ment returns to Off mode.

If AFTER SWITCH-ON is se­lected, the cleaning cycle will be
always started if power supply

is switched on. Option PERI­ODIC starts cleaning in regular
intervals that can be set by user
in range from 1 to 255 hours.
Timer starts counting after time
value is entered. Starting time
of cleaning can be set to match
to real time. It makes sense
only if cleaning period is set in
multiples of 24 hours. Then
cleaning will be performed al­ways in preset time. F1 module
has no wires connected to the
terminal block.

F2 - Full pipe check

module

Correct measurement of flow
rate by the magnetic flowmeter
is conditioned by full flooding of
the whole sensor cross section
by measured liquid. If flooding
is only partial, the magnetic
flowmeter will indicate flow rate
higher than real. However, if
both electrodes are not im­mersed in liquid, interfering volt­age can be generated on elec-

trode wires and the flowmeter
can indicate totally random val­ues. To avoid this situation, the
sensor can be equipped with
checking electrode and con­verter with full pipe check mod­ule. The module continuously
checks if the checking electrode

is immersed in liquid. If it is not,
an error message will be dis­played and zero flow rate will be

indicated. The checking elec­trode is connected to terminal 1.
This electrode cannot be retro-

fitted and should be con­sidered on initial order.

Batching

Batching mode is used for
control of external equipment
( valves, pumps) in order to
measure repeatedly the preset
volume (batch). It is not recom­mended for batching of very
small volumes. The period of
one batch has to be min 30 s.

Electromagnetic flowmeter
FLOMAG3000 has very sophis­ticated batching functions. It
enables simple batching with
manual starting but also fully
automatic batching by remote
control.

Batching process is divided
into 4 phases. Single phases
are distinguished on LCD by a
symbol in square brackets. Up­per line shows remaining vol­ume in ml to the end of the

batch. Bottom line shows help
for manual batch control.

Phase 0 - Stop

During phase 0 outputs are
inactive, no batching runs, wait­ing for start of the batching
process. Manual start is real-

ized by holding button 3 and
simultaneous pushing of button

4 or from outside with the help
of module E in Batch Start
mode. During that phase the
batch volume is set. To enter
edit mode it is necessary to

hold button 2 and simultane­ously push button 4.

Phase 1 - Hold

Phase 1 temporary batch in-

terruption. Outputs give signal
for interruption of the batch
(close valve, switch off pump).
Counted batch could ve contin­ued again by manual start
choosing Restart or from out­side with the help of module E
in Batch Start mode. It is possi­ble also to abort the batch by
choosing Reset or from outside
with the help of module E in
Batch Stop mode.

Phase 2 - Run

During that phase runs the
measuring of the batch (valve is
open, pump is running). This
mode can be interrupted using
Phase 1 (Hold) activated manu­ally or with the help of module E
in Batch Stop mode. It is possi­ble also to abort it choosing Re-

Module G1

Module H1

Module G1 is a GSM modem
enabling sending by SMS mes­sages on preset numbers, in
preselect intervals (or on re-

quest) inforamtion about the
status of the flowmeter and the
measured values. Detailed de­scription of the module func-

tions is given in a separate
document.

Module H1 is Bell 202 mo­dem, extensioning the function
of modules A6 and A7. It en­ables data communication
through current loop with a pro-

tocol compatible with HART
(only Universal Command). As­signing the variables of the
flowmeter is following:

PV - Flow rate [ l/s ]
SV - Current flow rate [ l/s ]
TV - Total volume + [ m3/h ]
QV - Total volume - [ m3/h ]

event which first takes place.
The advantage is that you can
set different advance for each
output. This way it is possible to
switch off a pump and later
close the valve.

Binary outputs have 4 options

for setting in batch mode. They

set or from outside with the
help of module E in Batch Stop
mode. During this phase there
is no reaction to external signal
Batch Start. If there is no any
preset outputs' advance, after
flowing of the set batch volume
comes switching to phase 0
(Stop). Outputs will send signal
for batch stop (switch off pump,
close valve). Because of the
late reaction to the output signal
a partial overflow of the set
batch volume will take place
and display will show negative
volume. That's why it is suitable
to send a signal for batch stop
in advance as it is described
below.

Phase 3 - Finish

In practice we need to send a
signal for batch stop in ad­vance. It is mainly because of
the inertia of the technical
equipment (valves, pumps).
Phase 3 represents time when
one of the outputs have sent in
advance signal for batch stop.
According to the ability to fore­cast exactly the advance, the
batch can slightly overflow
which means to go to phase 0
or the batch will not finish and
will go to phase 3. In this case it
is possible to go to phase 0 by
choosing Reset or from outside
with the help of module E in
Batch Stop mode. In the same
time takes place presetting of
the volume batch accroding to
the preset value. Second possi­bility is to start new batch
choosing restart or from outside
with the help of module E in
Batch Start mode.

The binary outputs in batch
mode enable setting of the ad­vance by volume when the out­put is activated, if the remaining
batch volume is smaller than
the preset volume advance.
Second possibility is to set time
advance when the flowmeter's
logic calculates what time re­mains to the end of the batch
according to the actual flow.
Both possibilites can be com­bined. Output reacts to the
