This flowmeter can measure the flow of conductive liquids, even in partially filled pipes. To be
able to do this, a capacitive height measurement has been integrated into a regular
electromagnetic flowmeter. If both the filled fraction and the velocity of the fluid are known, it is
easy to calculate the amount of fluid running through the pipe.
2.3 Nameplates
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.

3.5 General requirements
INFORMATION!
The following precautions must be taken to ensure reliable installation.
•
Make sure that there is adequate space to the sides.
•
Protect the signal converter from direct sunlight and install a sun shade if necessary.
•
Signal converters installed in control cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or heat
exchanger.
•
Do not expose the signal converter to intense vibration. The flowmeters are tested for a
vibration level in accordance with IEC 68-2-64.

3 INSTALLATION
3.6.4 Mounting advice for difficult situations
If you can not meet the installation conditions install the flowmeter between two containers. The
inlet to the flowmeter must be higher than the outlet of the fluid. In this way you will have a calm
flow into the flowmeter, resulting in a highly accurate measurement. The sizes of the containers
must be proportional to the size of the flowmeter.
Figure 3-7: Installing in difficult situations
1 Use a container 2 if the Inlet pipe has a slope > 1%. Make sure that the outlet level of this pipe is below the inlet to the
flowmeter.
2 Inlet container
3 Inlet section of 10 DN
4 Outlet section of 5 DN
5 Outlet container advisable if outlet pipe has a slope > 1%.
TIDALFLUX 2300 F
CAUTION!
Always use a free exit pipe to prevent backflow in the flow sensor and to keep the velocity at the
maximum flow at least at 1 m/s.
3.6.5 Open discharge

3.6.6 Cleaning of flow sensor
The flow sensor is highly resistant against dirt and the measurement will rarely be influenced by
anything. However, it is advisable to create a possiblity for cleaning just in front or behind the sensor.
