Flexible pipes or bellows may be used before the upstream and after the
downstream in case the vibrations are too high. Pipe vibration limit is
0.2 g peak to peak up to 8-500 Hz crossover frequency. (which equals
0.75 mm)
FLOW STRAIGHTENER
SPACIAL FLOW STRAIGHTENER
With flow straightener the inlet pipe length may be halved e.g. for a
control valve the inlet length is 25D instead of 50D. The minimum inlet
pipe length including flow straightener must always be 12 D.
The small sizes (below 1" or DN 25) come with upstream &
downstream pipelines & flange connections to suit customer's flanges.
4. Pipe vibration
Caused, for example, by the action of pumps, valves, etc., will falsify
measurements particularly at low flow velocities. Support the pipeline
on both sides of the flowmeter; in the direction perpendicular to both
the pipeline & bluffbody axis.
SANDWICH VERSION
5. Pipeline along a wall
Where possible, the distance between the pipe centerline and wall
should be greater than 0.5 m (20”). If it is less, first connect all cables
to terminals in the connection compartment (power supply and outputs)
and run them via an intermediate connection box (see also Section 3)
before installing the flowmeter.
Do not lag (Thermally insulate) the meter body.
6. Orientation
• Turn the Display board through ±90 or 180 to obtain horizontal
positioning of the display.
• Turn the signal converter housing through ±900 or 1800 should that
be more suitable for the location of the installation.
7. State of Medium
• Ensure single-phase flow. Liquid droplets in gas / vapour, solid
particles in gas/liquid & gas bubbles in liquid are not permitted.
In Liquid application e.g. water; to prevent cavitation, minimum D/S
pressure is given by the relation:
Pds (bar_g) >= (2.9* DP)+ (1.3 * Ps) - 1.013
where DP= pr.drop of VFM in Bar from sizing
program.
Ps= Sat.pr.in Bar at op.temp
FLANGED VERSION
Page 6
• In case of steam or compressed gas, a moisture separator may be used
compensation
50D upstream of the meter if the dryness fraction is less than 95%.
• For gases, a filter or strainer may be used to remove solid particles.
This is specially important for meter sizes below 1".
2.2 Sandwich type to DIN 19205 / ANSI
• Meter sizes DN25, 40, 50, 80, 100 and 150 (1" to 6")
• check flange connection for leak-tightness after
flowmeter installation.
2.4 Temperature / Pressure measurement for External density
To measure the temperature and pressure of the medium for either mass
flow/normalized f1ow computation using external flow computer or
measure operating density using external pressure and temperature
measurement (e.g. to feed the density value in the VFM off-line mass
or normalized flow computation) suitable measuring points should
• Bolts, nuts and washers are supplied with meter, check flange
connection for leak-tightness after flowmeter installation.
Installation upstream of f1owmeter
Min. distance: 20*DN (DN = meter size)
Installation downstream of flowmeter
Min. distance: 5*DN (DN = meter size)
Allowance must be made for the pressure drop in the flowmeter as
correction value for operating conditions prevailing upstream of the
flowmeter.

3. Electrical Connection
3.1 Installation Location & Cable diameter
Location
• Do not expose the compact flowmeter to direct sunlight Install a
sunshade if necessary.
• Do not expose to intense vibration. If necessary support the pipeline
to the left right of the flowmeter.
• The rotating design of the housing makes it easier to connect the two
cables for power and outputs to the terminals in the rear terminal
box.
Cable diameter
• To conform to protection category requirements, observe
• the following recommendations :
• Cable diameter: 8 to 13 mm (0.31" to 0.51")
• Enlarge the inside diameter of the Screwed conduit entry by
removing the appropriate onion ring(s) from the seal, only if cables
have extremely tight fit.
• Fit blanking plug PG16 and apply sealant to unused cable entries.
• Do not kink cables at conduit entries
• Provide water drip point (U bend in cable).
Conduit Installation, general wiring considerations
When electrical codes require conduit, it must be installed in such a
manner that the meter connection compartment remains at all dry
times.
3.2 Connection to loop power supply
• In case of functional extra low voltages (24VDC) protective
separation in conformity with VDE 400 part 410, or equivalent
national standard, must be ensured.
• Hazardous area application will require the connection of
protective Earth.
• Connection to power, VFM 1091 K
• Current and frequency outputs are galvanically isolated when the
optional ground above is not used and can therefore be
simultaneously connected to a receiver instrument which is
grounded or separately connected to two receiver instruments.
• Ensure that 24V, 4-20 mA loop is grounded at one point only (i.e.
either at the input of the signal converter or at the input of the
indicator, or at the output of the Power Supply). Do not ground the
loop at more than one point.
• The current output is galvanically isolated from Pulse output P.

4. Start-up
• Check that the system has been correctly installed as described in Sect. 1, 2 and 3.
• Before initial start-up check that the following details on the nameplate agree with the data specified in the report of settings for the signal
converter. If not, reprogramming will be necessary.
Meter size Fct3.1.1, Sect. 6.1, 6.2.5.
K-Factor Fct 3.1.2, Sect. 6.1, 6.2.5.
• The flowmeter is ready for service 15 minutes (waiting time) after switching on the power source. Increase flow velocity slowly and steadily.
• Avoid abrupt changes in pressure in the pipeline.
• If the process medium is steam, condensate may form initially and cause faulty measurements when the system is started up for the first time.
• When powered, the signal converter normally operates in the measurement mode. The power-on sequence to measurement mode is as follows:
“TEST” is displayed for approx. 3 seconds followed by
“VFM 1091 ” the instrument type followed by
“Ver x.xx” the software version of the instrument.
Then instrument operates in measurement mode where it displays the parameter being measured Or FATAL ERROR if there are one or more
critical errors detected (For description on errors refer Sect. 5.5.)

5. Opening of the signal converter
5.1 General
5.1.1 Starting up signal converter
When power is switched ON to signal converter it displays TEST, VFM, 1091 & Ver.x.x.x and then goes to measurement mode. In this initial
sequence VFM 1091 (I) carries out self-diagnostics to check its own functiona1elements and loads the configuration data from non-volatile
memory. If any error(s) are detected in power on diagnostics converter displays
to carry normal measurements. The first measured parameter displayed is the one being displayed when power supply was removed last time.
5.1.2 Measurement Mode
In measurement mode, the parameters that converter measures/computes are shown on display in the appropriate units. (See Sect. 5.2 for display
details). As per the configuration, display can be either in non- cyclic/cyclic mode. In non cyclic mode of display, use key to see the next
parameter on display. In cyclic mode display shows all parameters one after another, wherein each parameter is displayed for about 6 seconds.
While in the measurement mode, the flow and the current values can be monitored using the HART
values, the communicator also displays the minimum and maximum values of flow values, which are programmed into the device.
5.1.3 Programming or menu mode
All the configuration/settings/test functions are grouped in the form of menu having a tree structure (see Sect. 5.3.1 for details) and are accessible
in the programming mode. Operator can view or alter the present settings, data values by the use of functions available in this mode. VFC091
implements all the universal commands and relevant common practice commands of HART
parameters using HART
All changes made in programming mode are stored in non-volatile memory and have appropriate effect on the operation of signal converter. While
being programmed (i.e. while in the menu), the instrument will stop making further measurements and the current O/P will be frozen to the last
value, pulse O/P will also stop. The changes made using the HART
data to the device. After data is received, VFC091 updates the configuration n with thenewly received data. During the updation period, the
measurement is interrupted. (The updation time is less than half second).

Converter can detect errors during power-on diagnostics as well as when in normal measurement mode. Errors are put into two main categories
viz. fatal errors and non-fatal errors. Fatal errors cause measurement to stop since they are serious in nature. Non-fatal errors do not affect
functionality of the converter.
If one or more errors are present, display (in measurement mode) starts blinking. If programmed so, error information is shown on display interleaved
between display of two parameters.

5.4 Program organization & function keys
Function of keys in measurement mode:
After power-on, the signal converter enters the normal measuring mode. Display shows the actual measured value of the parameter, units and
arrow markers to identify parameter. A steady (non-blinking) display indicates that there are no errors in measuring mode. Use key to get the
next parameter on display. If display is in cyclic mode (Fct 1.2.6 CYCLE DISP as YES) the next parameter is displayed after every 6 seconds
and key has no function.
Use the key to go to the programming mode If Fct.3.2.1 ENTRY. CODE.1 is YES then converter will ask for the Code 1 password. Password
is the following sequence of 9 key operations Press key to go back to normal display.
Use the key results in prompt for Code 2 password. Code 2 password is predefined and reserved for Khrone Marshall service person.
Operator shouldnot use key at normal display. If used by accident then give any arbitrary key sequence to code 2 prompt until display gets
back to normal.

6.2.4 Flow range and meter
Flow rate (min. flow to max. flow) which the flowmeter will be able to measure depends on the primary data (3.1.x functions) and application
data (3.3.x functions). Thus, the flow range specified under the Fct. 1.1.2 MAX FLOW and Fct. 1.1.3 MIN. FLOW must be within the measuring
range. Flow range for any given application is determined by sizing the meter for that application. If flow rate exceeds max. flow an error
condition (HIGH FLOW) is generated. When the flow rate falls below the min. flow an error condition is generated. Vortex sensor signal l is
weak at this condition LOW FLOW and if flow rate reduces further, vortex signal related errors such as NO SIGNAL, LOW FREQ. will occur.
21
Page 22
6.2.5 Primary information
Primary data gives VFC 091 the basic information about the vortex primary sensor. Use Fct. 3.1.1 NOMINAL.DIA for specification of the
nominal DIN/ANSI size and Fct. 3.1.2 K-FACTOR for the calibration factor of the primary.

6.2.7 Internal Electronic Totalizer
- The internal electronic totalizer counts volume, normalized- volume or mass. Totalizer value is saved in the non-volatile memory upon
power failure. Totalizer can be displayed in the units desired as per the programming of Fct. 1.2.2 TOTAL. UNITS. Totalizer counting is
interrupted for the duration of power failure. Counting may optionally be stopped and thereafter restarted by the use of Fct. 3.2.3 TOT. ON/OFF. Totaliser counting is also interrupted when in programming mode (in Menu)
- Resetting [to 0] of the totalizer is possible by using Fct. 3.2.2 TOT. RESET.
6.2.8 Current (analog) output I

communicator include Device Information and
Multidrop Operation
DEVICE INFORMATION
This is used to identify the devices in the field. This is stored in the device and shown to you on request but has no effect
on the functionality of the flowmeter. None of these parameters are used for computational purpose during the
measurement.
Manufacturer : This is a factory-programmed name. For VFM1091 (I) the manufacturer is KHRONE
MARSHALL.
Tag : The maximum number of characters allowed for tag is eight. Tag can be
effectively used to distinguish between different flowmeters in the field.
Descriptor : This parameter provides 16 characters which can be used to store more
descriptive data of a flowmeter.
Message : This provides 32 characters. This may be used for identification or display
of other important information regarding the flowmeter.
Revision Numbers: These are factory programmed and cannot be changed by the user.
Universal Rev - Gives the HART
®
Universal command revision which the flow
meter should conform to.
Transmitter Rev - Gives the revision for the device specific VFC091 model.
Software Rev - Gives the internal software revision.
Hardware Rev - Gives the revision number for the hardware.
Final Assembly - Refers to the factory set value of the electronic assembly.
Device ID - Gives unique identifier for transmitter.
MULTIDROP CONFIGURATION
In multidrop configuration, upto 15 flow meters can be connected to a single communications transmission line. If the
device is configured for multidrop operation, the current output is parked to the minimum value (4mA) and the
communication occurs digitally between the flowmeters and the control system. Since the speed of communication for
HART
®
is not fast enough for control applications, update rate should be considered before multidroping the flowmeters.
The other factors like the number of different models used the transmission line specifications, safety considerations etc.
should also be taken into account. In multidrop mode, the control system/communicator identifies each of the devices by
means of the polling address which can be programmed into the device.
POLL ADDRESS
This gives the identification number for the flowmeter in multidrop mode. The value of the number should be between 1
and 15. Please note that the flowmeter should be in loop mode while entering the poll address. Use Generic Online Menu
1,4, 3, 4, 1 to change the polling address of the meter.

To perform preliminary testing of the vortex piezo sensor, the
signal cable of the piezo sensor should be disconnected from
the signal converter electronics. To do this
Always switch-off power source before commencing
work.
l. Use the special wrench to remove cover from
the electronic compartment. Ensure that screw
threads of electronic compartment cover are
well greased at all times.
2. Remove screws A and turn display board to one side.
3. Remove the piezo cable from the preamplifier board at
location Z by its (and not by pulling cable itself!)
4. Do the following tests on the sensor cable
Capacitance between centre pin and each outer pin
Resistance between center pin and each outer pin
>200M ohm. Also resistance between each sensor
7. Functional checks
wire pin and earth should be >200 M ohm. Also short out
all three pins & measure resistance between these pins &
Earth. This should be > 200 M W
5. Reassemble converter.

7. 2 .1 Self diagnostics
On power-on VFC 091 carries out diagnostic
checks wherein the instrument checks its functional elements
as far as possible. Diagnostic failure result
in fatal errors and are indication of a hardware fault
within electronics. Usually it is necessary to replace
electronics in such cases.
7. 2 .2 Display check

7. 2 .3 Current output check
Fct.2.2 TEST I can be used to test current output function of
VFC 091. With this function it is possible to generate
following test values- between 4 and 20mA
(integer values only)
Current output electronics is factory calibrated and
should be within +/- 0.02mA. Otherwise re-calibration of
current output is necessary by KHRONE MARSHALL
service person.
7. 2 .4 Pulse output check
Fct. 2.2 TEST P is meant for checking the pulse output
function with a power supply (24VDC) connected through a
load of lk/1W to pulse output terminals 4.1 & 4.2, and the
output level (high or low) monitored with a voltmeter.
7. 2 .5 Frequency measurement check
Disconnect the sensor cable from the electronics as indicated
in section 7.1.1 and feed a signal (sine or square wave) to the
sensor connector Z on the preamplifier board. The signal
should be fed between the center pin and one of the outer pins
of the connector Z. The value of frequency fed should be
indicated on the display when frequency measurement is
enabled. This can also be checked with the help of the VS1 or
VS2 Vortex Simulator in place of the signal source. The
amplitude of the signal l should be 50mVp-p and the
frequency between 2Hz and a value
equal to Qmax (m/hr) x K-factor (Pulses/m) max

Following are some trouble shooting hints.
SYMPTOMS: Display is blank.
· DC Supply voltage (between term. 5/6) is not
available (voltage range 12-36 Vd.c).
· Supply connected with reverse polarity
Important: Ensure that the screw threads of the covers on
the electronics and connection compartments are well
greased at all times
· Electronics faulty
SYMPTOM: Current output is not proper.
· Check current output electronics (refer Sect.7.2.3)
· Check that current output loop resistance is less
than Rmax specified by Section 3.3.2
SYMPTOM: Pulse output is incorrect
· Check the Pulse output electronics (refer Sect.7.2.4)
· Check programming of pulse output. (Functions
Fct1.3.x )
· Check that pulse output is not overloaded. For load
ratings of pulse output refer Sect.3.3.3.
SYMPTOM: Non zero flow indicated when no
actual flow in the pipe.
· Mains interference due to improper earthing.
The protective earth PE terminal should be
properly grounded.
· Excessive mechanical vibration in the pipe.
If so, support the pipeline near the flowmeter
perpendicular to both the axis of pipe and the axis
of bluff body.
SYMPTOM: Flowrate indicated is 0.0 even with flow in
the pipe.
· Vortex sensor cable disconnected or not properly
connected.
· Flow sensor faulty – some checks are given in
Sect.7.1.1
· Electronics faulty (preamplifier)
· Fct. 3.3.4 Gain too low: Set gain to value of 5 or greater &
check.
SYMPTOM: Fatal error INV. CONFIG (invalid
configuration)
· Configuration data in the non-volatile memory is
inadvertently corrupted. Go to the programming
mode and recheck (reprogram, if necessary) all
the settings. If error persists contact Forbes Marshall service.
SYMPTOM: Display contrast is progressively Fading.
· Never expose display directly to the sunlight!
Install a sunshade if necessary.
SYMPTOM: Flow indicated responds to changes in flow
but indicated value does not correspond to actual flow
rate.
8. Trouble shooting hints
· Check programming of Fct.3.1.2 K-Factor which should be
same as on the nameplate.
· Meter not properly centered on the pipeline. The axis of
meter bore should be aligned with that of pipe.
· Gaskets at the meter are protruding into pipe bore.
Gaskets must not project into effective cross-
section of the pipe.
· Irregularities on the surface of the pipe bore.
The pipe bore should be free from irregularities
at the welded joints, dirt, deposits and excessive
surface roughness.
· Vortex signal is falsified due to a bi-
p
hase medium.
Bi-phase media are not permitted. Use a moisture
separator for wet steam applications to remove
moisture droplets from the steam. Use suitable
filters in gas applications to remove solid
particles from the flowing gas.
· Incorrect angular position of the meter
Refer to Sect.2.1 (1) for allowable mounting positions.
· Insufficient upstream / downstream pipe lengths.
Check that upstream / downstream pipe lengths are of
correct minimum length as given in Sect.2. 1(3).
· Check the flow direction & direction of arrow on
the primary!

Range limit Calculation for Gases
To obtain the operating density rx at the operating temperature and pressure the following
equation is used
r
x = r n x Px x Tn
Pn Tx
r x , r n = density of the gas at normal & operating conditions respectively.
Pn, Px= pressure of the gas in absolute units at normal operating conditions respectively.
Tn, T x= temperature of the gas in Kelvin at normal & operating conditions respectively.
To obtain operating volumetric flow from normalized volumetric flow and vice-versa the following
equation is used:
Qn = Qx x Px
x Tn
Pn Tx
where: Qn & Qx are normalized and operating volumetric flow rates respectively the ratio of compressibility
factors is assumed to be equal to 1.
The following operating data of the process medium must be known in order to calculate the measuring
range
· Density r x of product at flowing conditions, in kg/m3
· Dynamic (absolute) viscosity of medium at flowing conditions, in mPA *s (or in centipoise)
· Maximum volumetric flowrate Q
max in m3/hr.
· Minimum volumetric flowrate Q
min in m3/hr.
· Refer to page 4 for dimension of meter inside diameter.
The following limits apply to operation
· Reynolds number at min flow, Re > 20000 for linear measurements.
In both the cases,Vmax is clamped at 75m/s. For densities,at and above 50kg/m3, Vmin is fixed to 0.94192 m/s for all sizes
· Calculating Reynolds number
Re = 353. 67 Q min * (m3/h) * (kg/m3)
Ø(mm)* h(mPa *s)
· Calculating maximum flow
Q (m3/hr) = 1 * Vmin(m/s) * Ø2 (mm)2 mm
353.67
· Calculating maximum flow
Q (m3/hr) = 1 * Vmax(m/s) * Ø2 (mm)2 mm
353.67
Range limit Calculation for Saturated Vapour
In the same way as for gases, use the above equations to establish the range limits for the
volume flowrate. Refer to vapour tables for the appropriate density, and calculate the volume
flowrate from the mass flowrate. Check the range limits if operating parameters change.

Measuring principle
The Vortex flowmeter is used for measuring the flow velocity of fluids in pipelines. The measuring principle is based on the
development of a Karman Vortex shedding street in the wake of body built into the pipeline. In theory, this process enables
measurements to be carried out in turbulent flows with a Reynolds number Re > 1091, but linear measurements are only possible
where Re > 20 000.
The periodic shedding occurs first from the one side and then from the other side of a bluff body (Vortex- shedding body) installed
perpendicular to the axis. Vortex shedding generates a so-called "Karman Vortex Street" with alternating pressure conditions whose
frequency f is proportional to the flow velocity v. The non dimensional Strouhal number S (primary head constant) describes the
relationship between vortex shedding frequency F. (in Hz), width b of the body and mean flow velocity v (in m/s)
F = S * v
b
The flexural vibration of the vortex-shedding body is picked up in the primary head via sensors and analysed in the signal converter.
In the case of gaseous, flowing media, the vibration frequency ranges between 10 and 7000 Hz.
To permit the mass rate of flow to be calculated from the volume rate of flow, either product pressure and temperature or product
density at the installation location of the flowmeter must be known factors.
