Before connecting the power supply, verify that the
mains voltage falls between the limits indicated on the tag plate.
ATTENTION: Converters on a dc power supply line
are not protected against the inversions of p o larity.
When wiring the converter and sensor equipme nt use
only approved conductors, with fire- proof p r op erties.
The power supply line must be equipped with an
external protection for current overload (fuse or automatic line breaker, limiting current to less than 10 A).
Provide in close proximity to the converter a circuit
breaker that must be easily accessible to the operator and clearly identified.
NOTE: For characteristics of the converter’s power supply, see page 4
The sensor, hardwired inputs and outputs are connected to the converter through a terminal block locate inside the converter.
To locate the terminal block loosen the 4 screws on the front cover. Lift the front panel. With the front cover lifted, the terminal block is visible. The terminal block is the hardwire connection of the converter to external equipment, including the sensor.
The following pages give information on the terminal block numbering, and the respective connecting of the senor cables, and input/outputs.

FLOW RATE VISUALIZATION
The ML110 allow showing 5 digit character display for flow rate units. This mean the maximum flow rate value that can be represent on the display i s 19999* (no matter the positioning of the decimal point ) and the minimum is 0.025.
The converter’s calculation are based on the following formula :
- DN x DN x 0,008
The results of above calc ulat io n give th e m aximum f low rat e at 10 m/s of speed according to sensor’s diameter; the permitted units for the display are the unit measure that, in reference to this calculated value, do not exceed the number 19999 ( higher limit ) and 0,25 ( lower limit )
Example for DN 100 :
- Full scale value : 100 x 100 x 0,008 = 80 l/s
- PERMITTED unit of measure ( example ) : l/s ( 80.00 ) ; mc/h ( 288.0 ) …
- NOT PERMITTED unit of measure ( example ) : cm3/s ( 0,08 ) ….
The not permitted example has a unit of measure greater than 5 character digits in length including the ‘/’, cm3/s.

MAIN MENU FUNCTION PRGRAMMING
(description of the functions with access code< 3)
MENU 1 - SENSO
(POS. 1) Nominal diameter of sensor [ND= XXXX]
The following pages give a description of the most important functions and how they can be changed or enabled/disabled by the user.
MENU 1 - SENSOR
(POS. 1.7) “Autozero” calibration [Autozero cal.]
This function allow to zeroing the meter . To perform the zero calibration, it is necessary for t he sensor to be full of liquid, and the liquid be perfectly still. Even very small movement of the liquid may affect the result, and, c onsequently, the acc uracy of the system. Once you are sure the above conditions have been fulfilled (and the percentage flow rate value is stable) press the key for one second or more. Check the percentage flow rate value goes to zero. If this does not occur repeat the o peration again . When the value is stable at zero, then press the key. (POS. 1.7) “Empty pipe” threshold [E.P. thr.] Value of empty pipe threshold detection. The span of this function is 0-255. Since the sensibility of empty pipe detection could be change by the liquid conductivity, ground connections, type of lining, in case of needed it’s possible to adjust manually the preset threshold. It’s recommended to check periodically its proper functioning. Increasing of value means decreasing the sensibility.
MENU 2 - SCALES
(POS. 2.1-2.2) Full scale N. 1-2 [Fs1-2=dm³/s X.XXXX]
The Full scale range N.1.-2 is the corresponding output signal (20mA) to the meters maximum flow rate (max 10m/s). There are four fields to fill in order to set this parameter, from left to right: 1) volume unit of measure, 2) type of unit, 3 ) time unit of measure and 4) numeric value. The select ion is made by positioning the cursor on the field to modify. To change the type of unit of measure (metric, British or American, mass or volume) the cursor has to be positioned on the symbol “/” ( field N. 2). When the nominal diameter is set to zero it is possible to modify only the n umeric field, since the unit of measure stays at m/sec. The following tables show the units of measure available and the conversion factor by comparison with 1 dm3 and 1 kg. The converter accepts any kind of combination of uni ts of measure satisfying both the following conditions: Numeric field value ≤ 9999

When a mass unit of measure is set, the specific gravity function is automatica lly enabled by the system. Please, note that the mass measure is heavily affected by the temperature. With certain liquids this may cause significant measurement errors. The following measure of time units can be selected: s = second, m = minute, h = hour, d = day.
(POS. 2.3) Unit of measure and number of decimal places [Tot.MU=dm³ X.XXX]
Setting the unit of measure and number of decimals places dis pla ye d for the vol umes. To se t the uni t of measure, position the cursor on field of the unit of measure. To s et the type of unit, position the cursor on the blank space between the unit of measure and the numeric value; The number of decimal places can be selected by placing the cursor on numeric field and choosing one of the possible combinations: 1000-01.00-001.0-00001.
(POS. 2.4-2.5) Pulse value channel 1-2 and unit of total measure. [Pls1-2=dm³ X.XXXXX]
Setting of a flow volume by which a corresponding pulse wil l be emitted on channel 1-2. (units mus t be identical to ‘Full scale’(POS 2.1 and 8) and ‘Totalizer’ functions. To set the parameter, complete the three fields, from left to right: 1) unit of measure , 2) unit type and 3) numeric value. The selection is performed by positioning the cursor in the field to be modified. To change the unit type (metric, British or American, mass or volume) position the cursor on the blank space betw een the measure unit and the numeric value. When the nom inal diam eter is s e t to z ero it is pos sible to modify only the numeric field since the measure unit stays a t meters(m) or feet(ft) . Only t hose units des cribed above are available to be selected. This function is active only if the pulse emission on channel 1 is enabled.
(POS. 2.6-2.7) Pulse duration channel 1-2 [Tpls1-2=ms XXXX.XX]
Setting of the duration of the pulse generated on channel 1-2 as set in (POS 2.4-2.5). This value is expressed in milliseconds and has to be between 0,4 and 9999,99. When the high frequency output is present, then the minimum value can be set to a minimum of 0,04 milliseconds. ATTENTION: since the converter cannot detect which type of device is connected to the converter, the user must verify that the set pulse duration is compatible with the external device processing such pulses. If, for example, an electro-mechanical pulse counter is c onnected, one of tw o problems may oc cur; firs t ly, i f the pulse is too long the coils may burn out, secondly, if the pulse is too short, the c ounter may not be able to function, with the possibility of causing damage of the output.
MENU 3 - MEASURE
(POS. 3.1) Time constant [Tconst=s XXXX.X]
This parameter affects the integrating filter, setting a quicker or s lower response time, according to the value set. A higher value corresponds to a more stable but slower measure, a smaller gives and faster measure but is more unstable. The most common values are f rom 1 to 5 sec onds. The value of this parameter has to be within the range fr om 0 (integral filter disabled) to 6000.0 seconds. The following diagram shows the response of the instrument for a flow rate variation from 0 to 100% within the T time constant period.
(POS. 3.2) Acceleration threshold [Skip thr=% XXX]
Acceleration threshold set. The acceleration threshold is the lim it beyond which a flow rate variation gives an immediate response at the output, withou t being filtered b y the time constant . This func tion allows the converter to have an immediate response in cases of big flow rate variations, while filtering (and delaying) the response to small variations, resulting in a very s table measure. The set valu e is a percentage of the full scale value (from 0 to 125%). If such a value is set to zero any flow rate variation bigger than 0.5% of the full scale value will immediately activate an output response. The following graphs show the instrument response in two cases: Firstly, a flow rate variation from 0 to 10% completely absorbed by the time constant effect
HML 110
23
110_EN_LC_5_3_6X.doc
HML 110
Secondly a variation form 10% to 100%, exceeding the acceleration threshold and then immedia tely sent to the output. In reality there is always a minimum time between the measure acquisition and the outputs update.
(POS. 3.3) Peak cut off threshold [Peak thr=% XXX]
Anomalous signal peak cut off threshold set. This parameter al lows for setti ng the maximum va lue of deviation of the measured sample in comparison to the average. If a successive value is higher than the set limit, than such a value is “cut” to the limiting value. This function is used to make the meter less sensitive to big perturbations of the flow rate measure. This may happen when there are solids suspended in the liquid in contact with the electrodes resulting in higher electrical noise. The permitted values of this function range from 0 to 125 % in reference to the full scale value. I f this parameter is set to zero the peak detection function is disabled and any subsequent measured sample will be accepted and processed by the converter.
(POS. 3.7) Automatic scale change enable [Autorange=ON/OFF]
Enables/disables the automatic change of scale. The meter may have two different w orking ranges in order to suit variable process conditions. In order to get the best results out of this function it is important that range N.2 is greater than N.1. When the flow rate increases and reaches the 100% of the scale N.1, the meter automatically switches to scale N.2. When the flow rate subsequently decreases to an equivalent value on scale N.2 (equal to the 9 0% of full scale N.1), scale N.1 will assume the active scale. Allowed values for this parameter: ON / OFF. (POS. 3.8) Energy saving enable [E.saving=ON/OFF] Automatic energy saving function enables. This funct ion is us ed whe n the instr ument is powered by a battery or solar cells, allowing an energy saving up the 6 0-80%. The energy saving function contr ols the powering cycles ratio of the coils while the measuring cycling remain unaffected. When the energy saving function is enabled and the flow rate is stable the number of “off” cycles is greater than the “on” cycles, reducing the average power consumption. If the flow rate suddenly changes, the meter switches to a higher number of measuring cycles, achieving a higher respons e time. Once the flow rate resumes stability the number of powering cycles is reduced. If the flow rate varies below the “acceleration threshold” percentage value, th e meter assumes the “off” cycles. When the flow rate exceeds such a threshold, the meter incr eases the measuring cycles. The speed at which the meter will switch between the increased and reduced powering cycles are different. From a constant to a variable flow rate is a very fast process, while from variable to a stable flow rate is much slower. The allowed values for this parameter: ON/OFF. N.B.: to optimize this function, a value for the acceleration threshold between 10 – 15 is recommended
MENU 4 - ALARMS (POS. 4.5) Current output value in case of failure [mA v.fault =% XXX]
Setting of the value of the 0/4...20 mA current output in one or more of the following cas es; empty pipe , ADC error, and coils interrupted.
The permitted range is from 0 to 120% of the 0 - 20 mA scales, 120% corresponds to 24 mA and does not depend on the selected range (0…20 / 4…20 mA).

110_EN_LC_5_3_6X.doc
The NAMUR NE43 recommendations requires alarms signaling value for a current output lower than
HML 110
3.6 mA (<18%) or greater than 21 mA (>105%). It is preferable to set the val ue of this function at 10%, so that the current value in cases of a.m. would be 2 mA, allowing the following diagnostics:
current < 2 mA - 5%: line interrupted, power supply failure or faulty converter; 2 mA -5% current 2 mA + 5%: hardware alarm; 4 mA current 20 mA: normal working range; 20 mA < current 22 mA: out of range, measure above 100% full scale (f.s.).
(POS. 4.6) Frequency output value in case of failure [Hz v.fault=% XXX]
To set the frequency value assigned to the on/off output in one or more of the following cases: Empty pipe; Coils interrupted ; ADC error Allowable range from 0 to 125% of the frequency full scale value. Although there are no specific rules regulating cases such as these, i t would be c onvenien t to use t he failure information as follows:
0% Hz frequency 100% f.s.: normal working range; 100% f.s. < frequency 110% f.s.: overflow, measure above the 100% of the f.s.; 115% f.s. frequency 125% f.s.: hardware alarm condition.

(POS.5.7) Autozero” calibration external command enable [Calibration=ON/OFF] This function enables/disables the automatic z ero calibration system. When this function is active, applying a voltage on the meter’s on/off input terminals performs an autozero calibration cycle. ATTENTION: if the voltage pulse is less 1 sec., the meter performs an Auto calibration cycle to compensate for possible thermal drifts. If the voltage pulse is more 1 sec, the meter performs a Autozero calibration of measure.

110_EN_LC_5_3_6X.doc
(POS. 6.3) Duty cycle value for pulses/frequency output [Duty cycle=% XX]
HML 110
The duty cycle function defines t he time ratio between ON and O FF state when frequency output is used: 50% means that the ON phase will equal that of the OFF phase, 60% means that the ON phase will be 60 % and the OFF phase will be 40% of the total cycle time. When the pulse outputs are used, the duty cycle defines the OFF phase, this is because the ON phase is already set with the "PULSE DURATION" function ( see Main menu “2 - SCALE” ). In this case, for example, the duty cycle is set at 50% and the pulse duration at 50ms, the OFF phase w ill be the same of th e ON phase. The formula to calculate the minimum time of the OFF phase and the time of total cycle is the following: T. total cycle= 100 x (pulse duration in ms)/ (duty cycle) T. OFF phase = T. total cycle - pulse duration N.B.: When using the function in frequency mode, DO NOT set the duty cycle to 0. If the value of the function is set to 0 the emission of the pulses occ urs in synchronous mode with the flow rate. The function is active only if one of the outputs is set on pulse and/or frequency function.
