5. Operating Principle
5.1 General
The new KOBOLD flow meter Type MIK is used for measuring and monitoring
smaller and medium-sized flow of conductivity liquids in pipes. The device
operates according to the electromagnetic measuring method. According to
Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction a voltage is induced in a conductor
moving through a magnetic field. The electroconductive measuring medium acts
as the moved conductor. The voltage induced in the measuring medium is
proportional to the flow velocity and is therefore a value for the volumetric flow.
The flowing media must have a minimum conductivity. The induced voltage is
picked up by two sensing electrodes which are in contact with the measuring
medium and sent to the measuring amplifier. The flow rate will be calculated
based on the cross sectional area of the pipe.
The measurement is not depending on the process liquid and its material
properties such as density, viscosity and temperature.
The device may be equipped with a switch, frequency or analogue output.
Moreover, there is a compact electronic system to be selected from, which
contains a digital display, a switch and an analogue output.
The device series is completed by an optionally obtainable dosing and counter
electronic system. The counter electronic system shows the current flow rate on
the first line of the display and shows the partial or overall volume on the second
line. A dosing electronic system controls simple filling duties and also measures
the flow rate, overall volume and filling volume. The analogue output and two
relay outputs can be utilised for the further processing of signals.
It is necessary for the correct function of the device that the current canal is
always filled completely with medium.
As of a minimum electrical conductivity of 30 µS/cm the MIK works within the
guaranteed margins of error. The conductivity of the medium is continuously
monitored by the device’s electronic system. If the electronic system registers
that the conductivity has under-run minimum, the output signal is suppressed for
2 seconds, after which the value for zero flow is output.
Air bubbles in the flowing medium or media with changing conductivity in the
range of the minimum conductivity can interfere with the measuring function and
reduce the MIK’s measuring accuracy.
The gases contained in the fluid are included in the volume flow measurements
and consequently cause erroneous measurements. If necessary, suitable vents
should be fitted upstream in the device.
page 4 MIK K07/0614
MIK
5.3 Deposits
Minor deposits on the measuring tube do not compromise the accuracy of
measurement in general, as long as their conductivity does not seriously deviate
from that of the fluid. In the case of fluids that have a tendency to deposit
sediment, the measuring tube should be checked at regular intervals and cleaned
if necessary.
5.4 Measuring electrodes
The electrodes used with the MIK have a galvanic pick-off. They are in direct
contact with the fluid and are fitted opposite one another, and insulated from the
measuring tube. The standard electrodes are made of 1.4404 stainless steel or
Hastelloy C4.
In general the MIK is subjected to the same loads as the piping into which it is
installed. The MIK should therefore be kept away from extreme loads, such as
pressure surges with strong, dynamic pipe movements, vibrations in the proximity
of centrifugal pumps, high temperature media, flooding etc.
6.2 Installation
Remove all packing materials and transport retainers and ensure that no such
materials remain in the device.
It can be installed in vertical, horizontal or rising pipes. Flow in direction of the
arrow.
Avoid pressure and tensile load.
Mounting the inlet and outlet pipe in a distance of 50 mm from the connections.
Attention! The sensor housing made of PPS and PVDF is not
allowed to be subjected to a torsional stress during installation.
The connecting of the respective connection thread with the
pipeline should be adapted to the material used, over tightening
the connection will damage the sensor housing, a loose
tightening may result in loosening the connection.
Avoid valves or large reduction on the inlet section (this increases the
inaccuracy of measurements).
Check the leak tightness of the connections.

9.5 Main menu items
9.5.1 Switching point
The switching point is entered in the menu item "Spo, SP1, SP2". A setting value
between 000 and 999 can be selected. This value can also include a decimal
point. The decimal point can be set at two points (e.g. 10.0 or 1.00). If the display
value exceeds the set switch point, the electronic is activated and is signalised by
a lightning LED.
If the hysteresis is equal to zero and the window point is de-activated, the
electronic switches back whenever the indicated value falls below the switching
point.
9.5.2 Hysteresis
After the setting of the switching point, the hysteresis can be entered as a
negative value in the "HYS" menu. The standard hysteresis value is zero. In
operation condition this can lead to ambiguous switching behaviour, if the reading
fluctuates around the switching point or window point. In this case, increasing the
hysteresis can put things right. The hysteresis relates to the switching point and
the window point (switching point minus hysteresis; window point plus
hysteresis).
Example: Switch point 100 L/min; Hysteresis: -2.5 L/min
The electronics switches when 100 L/min is exceeded and switches back when
the reading under-runs below 97.5 L/min.
page 16 MIK K07/0614
MIK
9.5.3 Window point (duo-point)
As well as the switching point, it is also to define a "duo" (duo-point), the window
point. This must be higher than the switching point. By using the window point
and the switching point it is possible to monitor the measurement value in a
certain range. The switching point limits the measurement range to smaller
values and the window point to larger values.
If the window point (duo-point) is less than or equal to the switching
point, an error report (Er4) will be indicated on the display and its
value is deleted and its function is invalid (in the case that the
window point and switching point out of adjustment).
The value is set in the same way as the switch point.
The window point is needed for process, in which monitoring of a certain
measurement range is necessary.
The electronic switches when 100 L/min is exceeded. If the measured value
remains between 99 L/min (100-1) and 151 L/min (150+1), the contact will also
remain in active switching condition (LED on). If it exceeds 151 L/min or is below
99 L/min the electronic switches back.
Switching behaviour
The following diagram clarifies the switching behaviour of the electronics. The
contact closes (contact type: no) when exceeding below the switching point or
when it under-runs the window point. It only opens again if the window point plus
hysteresis is exceeded or if it drops below the switching point minus hysteresis.
LED indicates the switching condition of the switching point.
An
9.5.4 Filter
The filter function "Filt" forms a running average from the measured values. The
following values can be set (see section 9.2 Settings):
1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 / 64
They correspond to the number of samples used in the running average. The
filter value determines the dynamic behaviour of the display value. The larger the
adjusted value, the slower the display response. With a filter value of "1" the filter
is switched off, i.e. the display value is equal to the unfiltered measured value.
The integrated step function detector reacts to a change of value corresponding
to approx. 6.25% of the full scale value. As soon as a step function signal is
detected, the instantaneous measured value is directly indicated in the display.

9.5.7 Change code
The change code option "CCo" secures the unit against unauthorised tampering.
If the code is different from 000, the user must input the code immediately after
entering the adjustment mode.
10. Maintenance
The measurement device requires no maintenance if the measurement medium
does not cause deposits. In order to avoid problems, we recommend the
installation of a filter, such as the magnetic filter, model MFR.
If it is necessary to clean the sensor, the sensor can be rinsed with a suitable
liquid. Fibre parts or large particles can be carefully removed with a cleaning cloth
or similar.
Work on the electronics can only be performed by the factory, or the warranty is
otherwise voided.
