Introduction
General
This manual contains information concerning the application, installation, and operation of the HMS501,
HMS500, HMS1000, HMS2410, MS2500, and HMS5000
full bore flow meters. Keep a copy of this manual with
the flow meter for future reference.
Applications
LCMag electromagnetic flow meters are designed for liquid flow measurement in most industries including water
& waste water, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and more. These meters are not suitable for measurement of gases, petroleum products, or other liquid
media with low electrical conductivity. Minimum electrical conductivity of measured liquids is 5µS.
Basic Components
An LCMag electromagnetic flow meter system consists
of two basic components: the flow sensor, and the converter. The flow sensor is the lined tube through which
the liquid flows for measurement. The converter is the
electronic control that provides power to the electromagnetic coils surrounding the flow tube, and that provides
signal processing, flow calculation, and display outputs
for the user.
Unpacking
Always inspect the instrument for damage from shipping
upon receipt. File a damage claim with the carrier if damage is discovered.
Transportation and Handling
Do not lift the instrument from the carton by the converter head. Use lifting eyes where provided for larger
meters, or lift by the sensor body.
When transporting, never use forks of a forklift, chains,
wire slings, or any other object in the flow tube of the
meter. Serious damage to the instrument will result.
Start up and Maintenance
• Before starting up the instrument, always make sure
that there is a suitable connection to ground as described on page 6 of this manual.
• Periodically verify the following: the integrity of the
power supply cables, the proper tightening of the
sealing elements (cable glands, covers, etc.), the mechanical attachment of the instrument to the pipe or
to the wall stand.
The wetted parts of the flow meter (liner and electrodes)
must be selected for compatibility with the liquid being
measured.
The converter must be selected for compatibility with the
environment in which it will operate.
Safety Legend
Before using the instrument, always establish a reliable electrical connection to ground.
Avoid any attempt to repair the instrument. If the instrument is not functioning properly, please call
the nearest authorized representative.
Pay maximum attention during operation.
Caution.
Danger.
