CAUTION
●
The items noted under "
●
All the items are important and must be fully observed.
Incorrect handling may lead to a risk of death or heavy injury.
Incorrect handling may lead to a risk of medium or light injury, or to a risk of
physical damage.
CAUTION
" may also result in serious trouble depending on circumstances.
Caution on Installation and Piping
!
This product has not an explosion-proof structure. Do not use it in a place
with explosive gases, otherwise, it can result in serious accidents such as
DANGER
CAUTION
explosion, fire, etc.
!
The unit should be installed in a place conforming with the installation
requirements noted in this instruction manual. Installation in an improper
location may lead to a risk of electric shocks, fire, malfunction, etc.
!
The unit should be installed as noted in the manual. Improper installation
will cause falling, trouble or malfunction of the unit.
!
During installation, make sure that the inside of the unit is free from cable
chips and other foreign objects to prevent fire, trouble, malfunction, etc.
!
The items under "Caution on Installation" noted in the manual must be fully
observed; careless installation may result in trouble or malfunction of the
unit.
Caution on Wiring
!
When performing wiring termination to prevent output trouble caused by
CAUTION
moisture, dew condensation or water leak, follow “Section 3.3 Flow
transmitter wiring” described in this manual
!
Before performing the wiring work, be sure to turn OFF the main power to
prevent elect ric shocks.
!
Do not perform wiring work outdoors in rainy days to prevent insulation
deterioration and dew condensation; otherwise, it can result in trouble,
malfunction, etc.
!
Be sure to connect a power source of correct rating. Connection of a
power source of incorrect rating may lead to a risk of fire.
!
The unit must be earthed as specified to prevent electric shocks or
malfunction.
!
The analog output signal cable should be wired as far away as possible
from high-voltage lines to prevent entry of noise signals as it will cause
malfunction of the unit.
!
To prevent malfunction of the unit, the analog output signal cable and
power cable should be wired using separate conduits.

Caution on Maintenance/Inspection
!
The unit should be inspected everyday to always obtain good results of
CAUTION
measurements.
!
When measuring the insulation resistance between the power/output
terminal and the case, follow “Section 5.2.3 How to measure the
insulation resistance” described in this manual.
!
If the fuse is blown, detect and eliminate the cause , and then replace the
fuse with a spare. if there are no spares, replace the fuse with the one
specified in this manual (that must be prepared by customer). Use of a
fuse other than specified or its short-circuit may cause an electric shock or
fire. The fuse should be replaced according to “Section 5.3 How to
replace the fuse” described in this manual.

CAUTION ON INSTALLATION LOCATION
CAUTION
(1) Sufficient space for daily inspection, wiring, etc.
(2) A place not exposed to direct sunshine nor weathering.
(3) Isolation from vibration, dust and moisture
(4) A place not subjected to r adiated heat from a heating furnace etc.
(5) A place not subjected to corrosive atmosphere
(6) A place not to be submerge d
(7) A place remot e from electrical devices (motor, tr ansformer, etc.) which generate electromagnetic
induction noise, electrostatic noise, etc.
(8) A place not subjected to excessive fluid pulsation (pump discharge side)
(9) A place that provides enough place for the length of the straight pipe.
(10) A place wher e ambient temperature and humidity are • 20 to +50°C and 90% RH or less for flow
transmitter (FLR), and •20 to +60°C and 90% RH or less for detector (FLS).

1. OUTLINE OF PRODUCT
1.1. Outline
This flowmeter is a clamp-on type ultrasonic flowmeter for permanent use based on transit time measuring method. The
M-Flow PW is ideal for clean liquids containing no air bubbles such as pure water. The easy-to-use compact and
lightweight design is intended for integration into mechanical devices.
The flowmeter applicable to small and medium size pipes of diameter range from 25mm to 600mm provides superior cost
performance.
1.1.1. Measuring principle
Measuring principle
Ultrasonic pulses are propagated aslant from the upstream and downstream sides, and the time difference caused by the
flow is detected to measure the flow rate.

Silicon rubber is supplied in a tube (100g). If two or more
instruments are ordered, you can select a tube of silicon rubber for
every 5 units.
Select silicon-free grease (B) if the instrument is to be used in an
environment where generation of silicon is not desirable such as
semiconductor manufacturing facilities. The grease, which is
soluble in water, should not be used in an environment where water
may be splashed onto it or condensation may occur on the surface
of the piping. Since it does not harden, periodic maintenance
(cleaning and refilling of approximately once every 6 months in
room temperature) is required.

(2) In case of horizontal piping, mount the detector within ±45° from the horizontal plane. Otherwise, the measurement
could be impossible if bubbles stay in the upper part of piping or if deposits are accumulated in the lower part of
piping. In case of vertical piping, the detector may be mounted at any position on its periphery provided that the

3.3. Flow transmitter wiring
3.3.1. Precautions in wiring
CAUTION
(1) Use a special coaxial cable (FLY3 or FLY4) as a signal cable between the detector (FLS) and flow
transmitter (FLR). Do not provide a junction of the signal cable midway.
(2) Be sure to pass the signal cables through a metal conduit between the detector and flow transmitter.
Upstream and downstream signal cables may be put in the same conduit but, to avoid an interference, do
not put the power cable together.
(3) For output signal, use a shield cable, where possible.
(4) To avoid ingress of noise, do not put the cables together with heavy duty line or the like into the same
duct.
(5) If a ground wire is included in the power cable, connect it to ground as it is.
(6) A power switch is not provided on the instrument and must be mounted separately.
(7) Hermetically cover unused wiring ports by furnished caps.
3.3.2. Applied wiring
Use the following cables.
Power cable : 3 or 2 core cabtyre cable.
!
Nominal cross-sectional area 0.75 mm
Finish outer diameter ∅11 mm.
Output signal cable : 2 or, as required, multiple core cabtyre cable.
!
Finish outer diameter ∅11 mm.
Detector-flow transmitter cable : Signal cable by type designation (heat-resisting high-frequency coaxial cable having
!
50 Ω of characteristics impedance. In case FLSE12 or FLSE22, provided with oneside waterproof BNC connector).
Finish outer diameter ∅5 mm.
2
min.
3.3.3. Treatment of wiring ports
The outer case of flow transmitter is waterproof (IP65). However, if installed in a humid place, the wiring ports must be
made airtight to avoid ingress of moisture, condensation, etc. Be sure to use the waterproof glands furnished with the
instrument in order to ensure the waterproof means. Hermetically seal unused glands by furnished caps.
CAUTION
Do not install the instrument where there is a risk of inundation.

setting the piping parameters.

Frame
Fig. 3-12
(2) Before mounting the sensor unit into the frame, sufficiently
apply silicone filler (or silicone-free grease
entire transmission surface of the sensor unit, taking care not
to introduce bubbles (Fig. 3-13).
Note) When using silicon-free grease, pay attention to the
fluid temperature range. The fluid temperature range
is shown below.
Silicon rubber: −20 to 100°C
Silicon-free grease: 0 to 60°C
When using silicon-free grease, reapply it on the
transmission surface of the sensor unit approximately
once every 6 months. (Silicon rubber need not be
reapplied.)
(3) Then insert the sensor unit into the frame, align the slit
provided on the pressing fixture of the sensor unit with
graduations located on the frame top surface (see Fig. 3-14),
and press the sensor unit until the fixture claws are engaged
with the frame side square holes. Mount both sensor units
so as to be roughly symmetrical with respect to the frame
