Printed form to accompany flowmeters returned to Krohne15
System description
AQUAFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters are precision measuring instruments designed for the
linear flow measurement of process liquids.
The process liquids must be electrically conductive:≥ 20 µS/cm for demineralized cold water
The full-scale range Q
This is equivalent to a flow velocity of 0.3 - 12 m/s, or 1 - 40 ft/s.
Product liability and warranty
AQUAFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters are designed solely for measuring the volumetric flowrate
of electrically conductive, liquid process products.
Flowmeters with AQUAFLUX primary heads are not certified for use in hazardous locations. Other
flowmeters series are available for such applications.
Responsibility as to suitability and intended use of these electromagnetic flowmeters rests solely
with the operator.
Improper installation and operation of the flowmeters (systems) may lead to loss of warranty.
In addition, the ”General conditions of sale” forming the basis of the purchase contract are
applicable.
If AQUAFLUX flowmeters need to be returned to Krohne, please note the information given on the
last-but-one page of this manual. Krohne regret that they cannot repair or check your flowmeter(s)
unless accompanied by the completed form sheet.
Standards and approvals
Please refer to the installation and operating instructions for the signal converter.

•Use only solventless detergents to clean the signal converter housing (polycarbonate).
•Temperatures
Refer to Section 11 ”Limits” for operating pressure and vacuum load based on flange
standards and type of tube liner.

•Measuring tube must be completetly filled at all times.
•Direction of flow is arbitrary. Arrow on flowmeter can normally be ignored.
For exceptions, refer to Section ”Factory settings” in the installation and operating
instructions for the signal converter.
•Stud bolts and nuts: to fit, make sure there is sufficient room next to the pipe flanges.
•Vibration: support the pipeline on both sides of the compact flowmeter.
Level of vibration in conformity with IEC 068-2-34: below 2.2g for compact flowmeters
in the frequency range of 20-50 Hz with the IFC 010 K
/ IFC 020 K and 20-150 Hz
with the IFC 090 K.
•Do not expose to direct sunlight,
fit a sunshade if necessary, not included with flowmeter, to be provided by customer.
•Large meter sizes (≥≥DN 200 / ≥≥8”): use adapter pipes to allow axial shifting of the
counterflanges and to facilitate installation.

Page 5
•Strong electromagnetic fields, avoid in vicinity of flowmeter
•Straight inlet run minimum of 5 ××DN and outlet run minimum of 2 ××DN,
(DN = meter size), measured from the electrode axis.
•Vortex and corkscrew flow: increase length of inlet and outlet runs or install
flow conditioners.
•Mixing different process liquids: install flowmeter upstream of mixing point or at an
adequate distance downstream (minimum of 30 × DN), otherwise display may be unsteady.
•Plastic pipes and internally coated metal pipelines: grounding rings required,
see Section 7 ”Grounding”.
•Insulated pipeline: do not insulate flowmeter
•Zero setting not necessary. To check, it should be possible to set ”zero” flow velocity
in the completely filled measuring tube. Shutoff valves should therefore be provided
either downstream of the flowmeter or upstream and downstream of the flowmeter.
2 Suggestions for installation
To avoid measuring errors due to gas/air inclusion or to pipe running empty, please observe the
following:
Highest point of pipe run
(Air bubbles collect in measuring
tube - faulty measurements!)
Preferred
locations
Downpipe
”Zero” flow
velocity.
Line drained.
Faulty
measurements!
Horizontal pipe run
Install in slightly ascending pipe section. If not
possible, assure adequate velocity to prevent air,
gas or vapor from collecting in
uppper part of flow tube.
Open feed or discharge
Install meter in low section of pipe.
Downpipe over 5 m (16 ft) length
Install air valve X downstream of
flowmeter.
Long pipeline
Always install control and shutoff valves
downstream of flowmeter.
Pumps
Never install flowmeter on pump suction side.

•Tighten stud bolts uniformly in diagonally opposite sequence, see table for number and type.
•All flowmeters must be properly grounded to avoid personnel shock hazard.
•The ground conductor should not transmit any interference voltages, therefore do not ground
any other electrical devices together with this conductor.
AQUAFLUX F separate primary head with terminal box
•An FE functional ground must always be connected.
•Signal converter with field power supply >125 mA / 60 V a PE protective conductor
must be connected to the primary head, because of the higher field current from the signal
converter. See grounding diagrams below.
AQUAFLUX 010 K, 020 K and 080 K compact systems
Supply power > 50 V AC
•Grounding is via the PE protective ground conductor incorporated in the power supply
cable, see also Section ”Connection to power” in the installation and operating instructions
for the signal converter.
•EXCEPTION:
Do not connect up the PE protective ground conductor in the terminal
box if e.g. compact units are operated in the proximity of electric furnaces, electrolysis
plants, etc., and large potential differences occur in the pipeline system. An FE functional
ground must simultaneously take over the function of the protective conductor (combined
protective/functional ground). Refer to appropriate national codes for specific requirements
for this type of installation, which may require the addition of a ground fault detection circuit
interrupter.
Power su
pply 24 V AC or DC
•Protective separation (PELV) must be ensured (VDE 0100 / VDE 0106 or
IEC 364 / IEC 536 or equivalent national regulations).
•An FE functional ground conductor must be connected for measurement reasons.

8 Replacement of the separate primary head
Switch off power source before commencing work !
1) Note down terminal assignment before dismantling the ”old” primary head.
2) Install the new primary head as described in the supplied installation instructions.
3) Make electrical connection at the signal converter as described in the installation and
operating instructions for the signal converter.
4) Specific calibration data are defined during factory calibration for each primary head,
which are indicated on the instrument nameplate.
This includes the primary constant GK and the magnetic field frequency. These data
need to be reset in the signal converter.
5) If the size of primary head is also different from the old one, the full-scale range Q
100%
meter size will need to be reset.
6) After resetting the signal converter, carry out a zero point check.
7) If necessary, reset the internal electronic totalizer of the signal converter.

:
points
Due to statutory regulations concerning protection of the envi-
ronment and the health and safety of our personnel, Krohne
may only handle, test and repair returned flowmeters that
have been in contact with liquids if it is possible to do so without risk to personnel and environment. This means that
Krohne can only service your flowmeter if it is accompanied
by a certificate in line with the following model confirming that
the flowmeter is safe to handle.
If the flowmeter has been operated with toxic, caustic,
flammable or water-endangering liquids, you are kindly
requested
• to check and ensure, if necessary by rinsing or neutralizing, that all cavities in the flowmeter are free from such
dangerous substances.
(Directions on how you can find out whether the primary
head has to be opened and then flushed out or neutralized
are obtainable from Krohne on request.)
• to enclose a certificate with the flowmeter confirming that
the flowmeter is safe to handle and stating the liquid used.
Krohne regret that they cannot service your flowmeter unless
accompanied by such a certificate.
