Selecting a Location

• The FMG-55x requires a fully developed turbulent ﬂ ow proﬁ le for accurate measurement.

• If the piping system harbors air pockets or bubbles, locate the sensor so the air pockets will not contact the electrodes.

• New magmeters should be allowed to soak in a full pipe for 24 hours before operation. This is especially important if the conductivity of the process liquid is less than 100 S.

• FMG-55x Magmeters equipped with the submersible cable are rated NEMA 6P (IP68). These units can withstand submersion to depths no greater than 2 m (6 ft.) for prolonged periods.

• FMG-55x Magmeters with ﬁ xed cables are rated NEMA 4/IP65. They are NOT suitable for submersion.

In a gravity-ﬂ ow system, the tank must be designed so the level does not drop below the outlet. This causes the pipe to draw air in from the tank. If air bubbles pass across the Magmeter electrodes, the output will become erratic.

Mounting the sensor upright is OK only where the pipe is full and no air pockets are present at the top of the pipe.

Mount at a maximum of 45° when air bubbles are present.

Do not mount on the bottom of the pipe if sediments are present.

General Installation and Grounding Tips

Sensor conditioning

The Magmeter output signal may be unstable immediately after installation. Allowing the sensor to soak in a full pipe (or in any container of water) for 24 hours will stabilize the performance.

• Very low conductivity ﬂ uids may require a longer conditioning period. (The Magmeter may not operate properly in ﬂ uids where the

conductivity is less than 20 S/cm.)

Grounding

The FMG-55x Magmeter is unaffected by moderate levels of electrical noise, especially if installed in a properly grounded metal piping system. However, in some applications it may be necessary to ground portions of the system to eliminate electrical interference. The grounding requirements will vary with each installation.

One or more of the following steps may be applied if the Magmeter is affected by electrical noise:

 Connect a wire (14 AWG/2.08 mm

recommended) from the ground terminal screw on the outside of the sensor nut directly to a local Earth ground.

 Install ﬂ uid grounding devices immediately upstream and downstream

of the Magmeter.

Connect the ﬂ uid grounds to the Earth ground terminal on the

FMG-55x.

Use ﬂ anged grounding rings or metal electrodes on plastic pipes, or

metal clamps on metal pipes.

Fluid grounds must be in direct contact with the ﬂ uid, and as near to

the Magmeter as possible.

 Connect the SHIELD conductor to Earth ground at the instrument.

The FMG-55x magmeter is designed to measure bi-directional ﬂ ow.

• 4-20 mA output models: May be scaled to span any ﬂ ow range: For example: "4 to 20 mA = -100 GPM to +100 GPM"

• Frequency output models: Reverse ﬂ ow is processed same as forward ﬂ ow.

• The forward ﬂ ow direction is indicated at the base of the sensor. The arrow must point DOWNSTREAM.

Removal Instructions

REDUCE THE PROCESS TEMPERATURE TO LESS THAN 40 °C (104 °F)

• Remove the plastic clamp from the top of the assembly.

• Turn the sensor nut to the top of the threads to retract the sensor. A light lubricant can be applied to the threads if required.

• Close the valve.

Install a LOCKOUT TAG on the closed valve to prevent accidents!

• Remove the magmeter from the top of the valve.

• Loosen the set screw from the sensor adapter ﬁ tting.

Wiring the FMG-554 with 4-20 mA Loop Output

The FMG-554 Magmeter is a traditional 2-wire passive 4-20 mA loop transmitter.

• External loop power (24 VDC ±10%) is required.

The maximum loop resistance the Magmeter can

accomodate is 300 Ω.

The cable length from the Magmeter to the loop monitor

cannot exceed 300 m (1000 ft.)

• All FMG-55x Magmeters are shipped from the factory with the 4-20 mA output scaled for 0 to 5 m/s (0 to 16.4 ft/s). If this operating range is suitable, no adjustments are necessary. The calibration charts in this manual list the 20 mA setpoint for each pipe size. Use this information to program the 4-20 mA range of the loop device (PLC, Datalogger, recorder, etc.)

Installation instructions for other pipes

If your pipe is not listed in the tables, you can calculate the proper H-dimension as illustrated here.

Contact the factory for a custom K-Factor.

Height from the sensor tip to the alignment rod is:

FMG-553, -554: 276.3 mm ( 10.88 in. )

Subtract:

- Wall Thickness: _____ mm ( ______ in.)

Subtract:

- 10% of pipe id: _____ mm ( ______ in.)

Result:

= H dimension: _____ mm ( ______ in.)

Note: 1 in. = 25.4 mm

Hardware stack height is important

The H-dimension represents the total height available for the installation hardware.

If there is insufﬁ cient clearance to accommodate the hardware, select a longer 2552 Magmeter or modify the hardware to reduce the stack height.

Maintenance

There are no user-serviceable components in the FMG series Magmeter.

• If the ﬂ uid contains deposits and solids that may coat the electrodes, a regular cleaning schedule is recommended.

• Do not use abrasive materials on the metal electrodes. Clean with soft cloth and mild detergent only.

• Use a cotton swab and mild detergent to remove deposits on the metal electrodes at the tip of the sensor.

• If the sensor nut will not turn smoothly, a light lubricant can be applied to the threads.

Environmental Recommendations:

• When used properly, this product presents no inherent danger to the environment.

• Please follow local ordinance when disposing of this or any product with electronic components.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution

• Frequency output or Current output is erratic.

• Output is not 0 when ﬂ ow is stopped.

• 4-20 mA output is incorrect.

• Magmeter installed too close to upstream obstruction.

• Magmeter electrodes are coated with solids.

• Magmeter electrodes exposed to air bubbles/pockets.

• Electrical noise is interfering with the measurement.

• New sensor, metal surface not properly conditioned.

• Electrodes not adequately conditioned.

• Pipe is empty, Magmeter is not in ﬂ uid.

• Electrical noise is interfering with the measurement.

• Defective Magmeter

• Magmeter 4-20 mA is not scaled same as Loop device.

• Loop device is not scaled same as Magmeter.

• Defective Magmeter

• Move the Magmeter upstream at least 10 pipe diameters from obstruction.

• Clean the electrodes with soft cloth. Do not use abrasives.

• Eliminate air bubbles in the pipe.

• Remove the Magmeter and reinstall with the ﬂ ow direction arrow on the sensor body pointed DOWNSTREAM.

• Modify grounding as required to protect the Magmeter from interference.

• Soak sensor overnight in ﬂ uid.

• Conﬁ gure pipe so electrodes are

always in ﬂ uid.

• Modify grounding as required

to protect the Magmeter from interference.

• Return to factory for service.

• Respan the Magmeter to match the Loop device.

• Respan Loop device to match Magmeter.

• Return to factory for service.

• Frequency output is inoperative

• Loop output is inperative.

• Wiring is not correct.

• Frequency input to other

• Check wiring, make corrections.

• Install 10k resistor.

manufacturer's ﬂ ow instrument does not have pull-up resistor.

• Output is 22.1 mA.

• Conductivity is less than 20 S/cm.

• Electrical noise

• Electronic component failure.

• Unsuitable application for Magmeter.

• Check grounding, eliminate noise source.

• Return to factory for service.

Troubleshooting with the RED and BLUE lights

The FMG-55x uses two colored LEDs to indicate the status of the measurement. They are located at the top of the magmeter, recessed inside the threaded steel housing. Look down the tube to see them.

No Lights: The power is off or the sensor is not connected Solid Blue: The power is on but there is no ﬂ ow in the pipe. Blinking Blue: Normal operation, blink rate is proportional to the ﬂ ow rate.

Alternating Red-Blue: Empty pipe indication (electrodes are not wet.) Blinking Red: System errors (electrical noise interference) Solid Red: Instrument error (defective electronics component)
