Wiring and Hookup Diagrams

The IT400 has many connections all made through the bottom/mounting board. It is recommended to remove the battery when connecting wires to the connectors and when plugging the connectors into their sockets.

Wiring

In order to maintain the rated CE marking, the following practices must be followed:

• All wires connected to the IT400 must be shielded (exception: SI supplied signal cable). o All shields must be connected to one of the internal mounting screws to achieve their

ground connection.

o It is recommended that the non-IT400 end of these shields is left unconnected. This

will help avoid ground loops and unexpected behavior.

o It is recommended that only one spade type terminal be used on each of the screws.

Care should be taken to avoid shorting any spade with other circuitry on the mounting board. If a longer screw is needed to attach the shielding spade, then the screw must be chosen to ensure at least one extra thread of space behind the screw. The hole depth is approximately 0.250 inches.

o Shields should not cover more than one pair of signal wires at a time.

• The IT400’s chassis must be connected to an earth ground via the screw attached to the

outside of the unit. At least a 12 AWG preferably green wire is recommended.

• All connections are to be made to the unit via rigid conduit.

• All connected wires must not exceed 98’ length.

• DC powered devices requiring the CE marking must be 4-20mA loop powered.

If no wires are required for a particular installation; the only requirement is the chassis ground connection.

Battery Removal and Installation

Battery Replacement:

- E8010 from Liquid Control s Sponsler, Inc.

- TL-5930/F from Tadiran Batteries, Ltd.

Battery Removal: reset the totalizer appears, the totalizer/grand totalizer/service timer will be saved to memory. Using two fingers inserted in the slots on the top and bottom of the main board overlay, gently rock the board top to bottom while pulling straight out. If this is done too quickly or unevenly, the main board will be damaged. After the main board is removed, the battery is accessible by opening the hook-loop strap. Once the battery is loose, the battery clip is removed by compressing the locking tab on the connector (locking tab is on the top of the connector {J3}) and pulling it out. Battery installation: Reverse the pr ocess for installation. Ensure the battery connector key is in the proper orientation pri or to inser ti on.

The internal battery may only be replaced with one of two batteries:

IT400 Operational Overview

The IT400 flowmeter system will perform the necessary calculations to provide the user with an optional temperature compensated and optional linearized output of the following values:

• Rate

• Total

• Grand total

• Errors/warnings

• Various outputs

Calibration

Calibration of the IT400 is accomplished using either a linear K-Factor (pulses per gallon) or a linearized K-Factor linearization table (when the linearizer is enabled). Independent unit conversion factors and decimal points are available for the rate and total displays. Calibration and configuration data are stored in an onboard EEPROM for permanent storage. Calibration of the IT400’s reference circuitry is factory set and is not user accessible. Calibration of the IT400’s reference circuitry should be performed by factory trained service personnel.

Temperature Compensation

The temperature compensator utilizes a platinum RTD to detect the process temperature. Process temperature is used in conjunction with the reference temperature and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of the measured liquid (menu items) to adjust the rate and total values. When the temperature compensation is enabled, the temperature warning annunciator (thermometer on the LCD) will indicate when the process temperature is out of a programmable range. Optionally, an alarm output as well as a totalizer inhibit function can also be tied to this temperature warning. Various Coefficient of Thermal Expansions and their reference temperatures can be found in the appendix. The temperature circuit and associated algorithm, when enabled, increase the IT400 current consumption fr om the power source and diminish battery life if running solely from the battery. A programmable delay function has been provided in order to minimize the impact of the temperature sampling on the battery life. The delay feature specifies the number of seconds between temperature value samples. The higher the delay, the longer the battery will last.

Linearization

The linearizer utilizes a linear interpolation algorithm to calculate the rate and total based on a set of calibration data points pr ogrammed by the user. The linearizer has21 points, the first point (lowest) is automatically set at zero hertz, the remaining 2 to 20 are user programmable. The linearizer table must have at least two data points in addition to the first (fixed) point and must be ascending in frequency from the first point to the last. To have fewer than 20 points in the linearizer table, after the last desired linearization point add one additional point and set the frequency at zero. Zero is an invalid frequency; this will indicate the end of the table. The IT400 will not allow frequencies to be entered out numerical order. Frequencies between zero and the first programmed point will use the K-Factor of the first programmed point.

LCD Display

The LCD display has three main areas: The 8 digit totalizer, 5 digit rate indicator, and the annunciators.

• The 8-digit totalizer shows the total number of units of volume through put of the flowmeter since the last time the totalizer was reset. The totalizer is resettable by 2 methods, via a magnetic reed sw it ch in the lower left side of the unit and by menu. Th e grand total is displayed as long as a magnet is placed near the top of the face of the unit. The word "GRAND" indicates the displayed value is the grand total. Grand should be activated prior to battery replacement to save total/grand total values to nonvolatile memory. Engineering unit annunciators display the units and decimal place selected to compute total and grand total values. The grand totalizer uses the same engineering unit as programmed for the totalizer.

• The 5-digit rate display shows the rate of the flowmeter throughput. If the rate exceeds the high flow warning setpoint, "-oL-" is displayed. “-UL-“ is displayed when the rate is less than

the low flow warning setpoint. The warning is displayed until flowrate within these setpoints resumes. The totalizer is not affected by this warning unless programmed to inhibit totalizer when out of range. The range limits are established by the flow warning setpoints (Warning menu) in the menu system. Indicators on the display also show the engineering units of volume, time and decimal place used to compute the rate value. Note: When the Grand Total magnetic reed switch is activated (and GRAND is displayed on the screen), the rate display will display the current rate regardless of the range limits. This is helpful when troubleshooting flow condition problems when the low rate setpoint is set above zero.

• Refresh rate of the display of the unit happens at pre-determined intervals depending on the selected power mode (see “Power”). Once the power mode is programmed (in the menu), the refresh rate is fixed. This prevents a low refresh rate from being automatically selected which could cause measurement delay.

• Other display annunciators. These are warning indicators and do not inhibit the operation of the unit (unless explicitly enabled to do so by the alarm opti o n). These indicators may however indicate the condition causing an inaccurate reporting of rate or total information.

o Wrench – The service annunciator is user programmable to a specific amount of

“turbine hours” (activ e flowmeter hours).

o Thermometer – The thermometer annunciator is displayed continuously any time the

temperature compensator is enabled and the process temperature is out of range.

o Battery – The battery annunciator is composed of two segments. The segments

indicate the level of the battery charge, like an automotive gas gauge.

 Two segments – The battery is within normal operating voltage range.  One segment – A replacement battery should be acquired and installed. This will

also cause high temperature range on the temperature circuit to be reduced.

User Controls

There are two main groups of user controls, internal and external. The internal controls are only accessible when the enclosure cover is removed. The external controls are magnetically accessed by strategic placement of a magnet along the outside of the unit.

• Internal

o Menu / Enter Button – This button is used primarily within the menu system. Press this

button at any time during RUN mode to enter the menu system. Note: the higher the power mode, the longer the button will need to be held down for it to trigger the menu system.

o Select / Digit Button – This button is also used primarily within the menu system.

However, when the temperature compensation option is purchased and enabled, pressing this button while in RUN mode causes the 5-digit display to indicate the current process temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

o Number Dial – The number dial is only used while selecting values or editing numbers

while in the menu system. The number dial is disabled in RUN mode.

• External

o Magnetic Switches – There are three magnetically activated reed switches located

around the edge of the IT400 (indicated on the front panel with yellow text). These switches allow external activation of the following functions:

Grand – The following actions are taken when the grand reed switch is activated:

The total display will indicate the value of the grand totalizer. The rate display will indicate the current rate regardless of any out of range warning conditions. The GRAND annunciator will indicate. The IT400 will store the values of the grand totalizer, the totalizer, and the elapsed service time to non-volatile memory. This is useful if the IT400 is to be removed from service (replace bat ter y, recalibrate, etc).

Light – When activated, the backlight timer will be engaged according to the chart in

the Backlight section.

Reset – When activated, the main totalizer will be reset.

Note: The internal user controls are described in more detail in the Menu section.

Non-User interfaces

Non-user interfaces are those that are wired to external devices. 4-20mA rate output and open collector pulse output are standard, open collector alarm output, RS-232, datalogger, and real time clock interfaces are optional.

• 4-20mA rate output high setpoints.

is a linear representation of flow rate between the progra mmed low and

Example: A flowmeter has a calibrated range of 10 to 100gpm, the desired low and high setpoints of the 4-20mA output are 10 and 100 respectively. Using these values, the IT400 will calculate and output the proper current reading for a given flowrate.

Given a flow rate of 25gpm, the current loop reading will be 6.667mA. The output engineering units are the same as for the rate display.

Note: For loop powered operation, refer to the Power section. Note: The IT400 requires 7VDC of the loop supply.

• Pulse output

is an open collector design. A pull up resistor is required for interface with most systems. An output pulse occurs with each increment of the totalizer if a pulse output divider of 1 has been programmed. For programmed pulse divider values other than 1 the output pulse will occur at the divided value. Functions for a frequency output, pulse width, and pulse output divider are programmable. When the frequency output is not selected, pulses are output in bursts at each refresh.

Example: The totali z er incr em ents 15 puls es ( over the last refresh time) and the pulse output divider is 5. The number of output pulses that will be generated will be 3.

Note: If the output pulse width programmed exceeds the time required to output the proper number of output pulses an E will be displayed in the left-most character of the total display.

The IT400 will output as many pulses as time permits at the programmed pulse width.

Example: At a maximum flow of 900gpm the proper number of output pulses is 15 per second, but the pulse width is programmed to 100ms and the pulse divider to 1. The 15 pulses would take 1.5 seconds (15x100ms); only 10 pulses would be outputted. Either

the pulse width must be reduced or if acceptable the divider increased. Guideline: calculate the maximum output pulse width: Maximum pulse width = 1/(output pulses per second/output pulse divider) Using the example above: 1/(15/1) = 66.6ms is maximum pulse width.

• Alarm output• is an open collector output that can be used to externally indicate the presence of several out of range conditions. These conditions include: temperature, flow rate, and battery level. The ranges of temperature and flow rate are edited in their respective sections of the Menu system. The Battery low level is factory set. Any Alarm condition of the enabled alarms will activate the alarm output. Identical to the output pulse, a pull up resistor is required to interface with most systems.

RS-232 interface

allows calculated values of the unit to be viewed upon request. To use this interface, a serial device (computer or datalogger) is used to poll the IT400 by sending one of the listed letters (the letter by itself) to the serial port. No carriage return is necessary. The IT400 will reply with the requested data and a CR+LF. The BAUD rate is fix ed at 9600 ba ud 8N1. Currently, the datalogger data can only be captured via the RS-232 port. The func tions available on this interface are:

Note: Using the RS-232 interface when loop powered will cause errors in the loop reading.

• Real-time clock

maintains the current date and time for use with the datalogger. Each datalog event is preceded with the current date and time. Time is calculated by maintaining the number of seconds since the UNIX Epoch time (Jan 1, 1970, 0:00:00 GMT). The real-time clock does not increment unless the IT400 is power ed (either by DC-in, battery, or 4-20mA). When the battery is replaced, the internal clock will be slow by the amount of time between the time the menu is entered (just prior to removing the battery) and the time the IT400 is again powered (after the battery replacement). The real-time clock can be set in the menu system and is only available when the datalogger option is purchased.

Inputs

The IT400 has four inputs: RS-232 interface, user interface, temperature, and input signal.

•

RS-232• interface is described above. User• interface is described above. Temperature input is a standard 2-wire platinum RTD te mper a tur e pr obe ( 0.38 5 TCR ) . The

temperature probe is typically mounted within a few inches downstream of the attached flowmeter. The temperature input will increase the drain rate on the battery when the IT400 is battery powered. The temperature input is ignored if the temperature compensator is disabled.

IT400 Remote Totalizer & Rate Indicator

input from practically any frequency generating device producing a sinusoidal signal, a

square wave pulse or can be connected to a modulated carrier pickup coil.

Sinusoidal signal: low amplitude crossing signal that doesn’t exceed the IT400’s input specification. This signal can come directly from the pickup coil sensing rotation of the attached Sponsler, Inc. turbine flowmeter or other flowmeter device. Square signal: any zero referenced pulse that doesn’t exceed the IT400’s input specification. Modulated carrier: derived by modulating a carrier signal of the pickup coil caused by the change in impedance resulting from the rotor blades passing in proximity to the coil. This is an inductive coil therefore there is no drag on the rotor. MC coil operation is factory enabled only. MC coil operation requires DC or loop power.

Note: SW5-3 must be “On” for MC coil operation when externally DC powered.

Backlight

The backlight is controlled by a combination of system parameters. The following table lists the operation of the backlight and how it is controlled by these vari ous s y s tem para met er s:

The front panel magnetic reed switch activates the backlight regardless of anything (as long as power is applied). Backl ight activation may increment one additional input pulse and will cause 4-20mA errors.

*Battery life calculations are worst case based on continuous flow , enabled linearizer, temperature compensator, 4-20mA output, and pulse output.

Enclosure

The IT400 is contained in an explosion proof enclosure. This enclosure is typically meter mounted via a union or a temperature extension (consult factory for lengths and applications). There is typically a short cable (4 feet) that connects the IT400 to an external temperature probe (a few inches downstream). Rigid conduit is recommended for this connection to maintain the explosi on pr oo f rating of the enclosure and to maintain CE marking.

11. Pulse Output Enable

The pulse output is enabled or disabled in this menu. If the pulse output is disabled, the next two sub-menu items are skipped.

11.1 P uls e Output - Pulse Width

The pulse width of the pulse output is set by turning the Number dial to the desired position. The dial positions allow several standard pulse widths as well as one customizable setting. The selected pulse width in milliseconds is listed in the upper display. There is

one special setting named f requenCy. The frequency setting allows the pulse output to auto adjust the pulse width based on the number of pulses to be outputted per second. Example: Pulse width

set to f r equenCy. If the totalizer is counting to 14 every second, then the output pulse width will be

71.428ms. If the totalizer is now counting to 55 every second, then the output pulse width will auto

adjust to 18.2ms. The f r equenCy setting is especially useful when using the pulse output as a ratemeter, howev er , if a ratemeter output is desired, the 4-20mA loop will provide better results. Dial

position #7 provides a customized pulse output setting initially set to 75, which can be edited for any pulse width (max 999ms). Note: If the pulse width exceeds the inverse of the number of requested output pulses per sec on d,

the total display will indicate this error with an e in the left most totalizer character during Run Mode. When the e is displayed, output pulses are being lost. Example: If the pulse width is set to 500(ms),

then the maximum number of pulses that may be outputted is two per second.

Page: 19 DOC#: MN-IT400-R2d.doc

11.2 P uls e Output - Pulse Divider

Divides the pulse output by the displayed value. The divider is set by turning the

Number dial to the desired position. The dial positions allow several standard

pulse dividers as well as one customizable setting. The selected pulse divider is listed in the upper display. The customized pulse divider setting is switch position #8 (initially set to 75), and can be

edited for any value (max 9999).

12. Backlight Timer

Determines the length of time the backlight remains “On” when activated. Set by turning the Number dial to the desired position. The dial positions allow several standard timer values in seconds as well as one customizable setting. The selected timer value is

listed in seconds in the upper display. If the timer is set to ALWAYSoN, the battery will last about two months. This setting is not needed for DC powered units as the backlight is always on when DC

powered anyway. The customized backlight timer setting is switch position #9 (initially set to 75), and can be edited for any number of seconds (max 9999s). Note: The backlight timer is only a timer. Even when disabled, the backlight may be used when a magnet is located by the Light magnetic reed switch. Note: The backlight is the highest current drawing component of the IT400. Use it sparingly; excessive use will quickly reduce the battery life (when running on the internal battery).

p DI V

bLI TE

Sets the IT400’s internal power savings functions and the refresh rate. The power mode is set by turning the Number dial to the desired position. Power modes range from mode 1 (fastest refresh, shortest battery life) to mode 5 (slowest refresh, longest battery life). The power mode is described in greater detail in the Power section of this manual.

Note: When power mode is set to 5, the datalogger activation timer period (AT I MR) will be rounded down to the nearest even number.

14. Alarm

Displayed only if purchased as an option. The alarm menu allows the setting of various system warnings to trigger an alarm. The number at the top of the display indicates which alarms are

enabled: A 1 indicates the associated alarm is enabled, and a 0 indicates disabled. Starting from the left side of the screen, the alar ms ar e in order in the following list:

1. Lbat t – Low battery. Enables the low battery warning (absence of any battery annunciator

when running off battery) to trigger the alarm.

2. t empu – Temperature under. Enables a low process temperature warning to trigger the alarm.

3. t empo – Temperature over . Enables a high process temperature warning to trigger the alarm.

4. RATEU – Rate under. Enables a low flow rate warning to trigger the alarm.

5. rat eo – Rate over. Enables a high flow rate warning to trigger the alarm.

6. not ot – No totalize during alarm. Inhibits the totalizer whenever there is an alarm condition.

Using this setting prevents special “out of range” flow conditions from affecting the totalizer. Example: The temperature set points are set for the liquid state range of LN2, and the not ot is set to ENABLED. The totalizer will not count any “gassing” of the meter (it will

not totalize when the detected temperature is outside the liquid temperature range).

To set an alarm, press Select. A prompt to enable the Low battery alarm is presented. Press Select again to toggle between enabLed, and dI sabLed. When

the selection is set, press Enter to accept and move to the next alarm. Continue through all alarm settings. When the last alarm is set, the original list of all alarms is presented.

16.2 Datalogger Activation and Output Settings

Setting the datalogger activation and output settings flows seamlessly from the previous menu listing. The same procedure as in the data settings above is used to enable and disable these settings. The list below describes the menu items in this section:

1. A RST – Activate by Reset. Will activate a datalog event when the reset input is activated. The

logged event will actually occur just prior to the reset action. Therefore, the data that is captured will be for the last total displayed. To get a datalog event that shows a total of zero, activate the reset function a second time.

2. AWARN – Activate by Warning. Will activate a datalog event whenever there is a change in a

warning. An event will be triggered when the warning is indicated, as well as another event when the warning changes (shows no warning or a secondary warning).

3. AGRND – Activate by Grand. Will activate a datalog event when the grand total is activated.

4. ATI ME – Act ivate by timer. Will activate a datalog event based on an internal timer. The period

of the timer is set by AT I MR (below). If this option is disabled, the Activation timer period is not asked.

5. SERDB – Serial output in DB format. This is a toggle between the two output format types:

DB format Enabled – Database format. This format will list the output data in a raw “listing” form. Each data value is listed as a comma separated list. The time/date that will be logged when this setting is enabled is based on GMT and will reflect the number of seconds that have passed since Jan 1, 1970 at 0:00:00 (including leap years, but not leap seconds, time zone, or DST). This is commonly referred to as “UNIX” time. This format is
