1. APPLICATION
Flow meters FMG600 SERIES are primarily used for measuring instantaneous flow rate and volume of water
or similar liquids passed through the meter. Flow meters shall only be used in standard non-explosive
environments.
Any installation of flow meter must be in conformity with technical conditions mentioned in this manual.
Measurements can be done in both flow directions, with high measurement accuracy over a wide range of
flow rates 0.33 to 32.8 ft/s (0.1 to 10 m/s). The minimum required conductivity of the measured medium is 20
µS/cm.
The measurement evaluation electronic unit includes a two-line alphanumeric display to show the measured
values where various operational parameters of the meter can be selected by means of an associated
keyboard. Available are two passive binary outputs (frequency, pulse and limit values), one active current
output and an output to connect a digital communication line. All meter functions and output parameters can
be reset during the meter operation.
Should the need arise; the user may combine any sensor of the FMG600 series with any electronic units
without re-calibration of the meter on a test stand. The only thing that needs be done is to enter into the
electronic unit memory the calibration constants and excitation frequency of the selected sensor; these data
are given on the rating plate of the sensor. The value of threshold flow rate shall be set between 0.5 and 1%
of the specified maximum flow rate.
2. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
The function of an induction flow meter is based on Faraday’s induction law. The meter sensor consists
of a non-magnetic and non-conductive tube with two embedded measuring electrodes to pick up the induced
voltage. To create an alternating magnetic field, two coils are fitted onto the tube in parallel with the plane
defined by the active parts of the measuring electrodes. Now if a conductive liquid flows across magnetic
field B, voltage U will appear on the measuring electrodes proportional to the flow velocity v and the
conductor length l.
U = B x l x v
U induced voltage
B magnetic flux density
l distance between the measuring electrodes
v liquid flow velocity
Page 5
As the magnetic flux density and distance between the electrodes are constant, the induced voltage is
proportional to the liquid flow velocity in the tube. The value of the volume flow rate can then be readily
determined as a product of the flow velocity and square section of the tube, Q = v x S.

3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
3.1. General
The induction flow meter consists of a sensor through which the measured liquid flows and an electronic unit
where the low-level signal from the sensor is modified to a standardized form suitable for further processing
in various industrial electronic devices. The output signal is proportional to the volume flow rate of the
measured liquid. The only factor limiting the application of induction flow meters is the requirement that the
measured liquid shall be conductive and non-magnetic. The induction flow meter can be designed either as
a compact device or with the sensor separated from the associated electronic unit. In the former case, the
electronic unit is fitted directly onto the meter sensor, in the latter case it is connected to the sensor by
special cable.
The sensor design shall take into consideration the type of the measured liquid and its operational
parameters. To facilitate fitting into the liquid piping, the sensor can be provided with end flanges, threaded,
or it maybe of a flangeless design. The supply voltage, types of output signal and communication interface
can be selected according to the customer requirements.
The basic configuration of induction flow meter includes two insulated passive binary outputs (each with
an opt coupler including a transistor output), insulated RS485 communications, dry relay, 4-20 mA output
and the USB communication interface. This USB interface is not insulated as it is used for factory calibration
purposes only. Optional accessories to this basic configuration are INPUT1 and OUTPUT3 for batching (all
with galvanic separation) –B, empty pipe detection -EPT.
Upon fastening the connecting wires into the respective terminals, make sure to tighten the bolts holding the
lid of the electronic unit and seal the cable glands. Fit blinds into the unused gland openings.

4. TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
4.1. Flow sensor
4.1.1. Selection of correct sensor size
The following table shows minimum and maximum flow rates for various sensor sizes and flow velocities
ranging from 0.33 to 32.81 ft/s (0.1 to 10 m/s). The operational flow-velocity range is best to choose 1.64 to
16.40 ft/s (0.5 to 5 m/s), see the diagram below. For lower flow velocities, the measurement accuracy is
worse while at higher flow velocities the turbulences at contact edges may cause undesirable interference.
Minimum and maximum flow rates for various sensor sizes

Operational flow rates and flow velocities for various sensor sizes
The standard versions of flow sensors have the following pressure rating:
Sensor size Pressure ratin
DN 15
DN 300 1/2” and 12”PN 10 (1.0 MPa) 145 PSI
4.1.3. Selection of electrode material
Standard electrodes made of Hastelloy C4. However, in special applications it may be necessary to select a
different material. On request, Omega can supply electrodes made of tantalum -TGE.
4.1.4. Sensor tube lining
Teflon
Teflon (PTFE) lining is a universal solution for highly corrosive liquids and temperatures ranging from -4 °F
to 302 °F (–20 to +150°C). Typical applications are in the chemical and food processing industries.
4.1.5. Compact or remote meter version?
Temperature of the liquid is lower than 122 °F (50°C): It is possible to use both, compact or remote
version. Using of the version is only question of the layout or customer wish.
Temperature of the liquid is higher than 122 °F (50°C): Must be used remote version!
To prevent electromagnetic interference via the connecting cable, the sensor and separate electronic unit
of the meter in the remote version should be located as close as possible to each other. The maximum cable
length depends on the conductivity of the measured liquid (see the following diagram). Standard cable length
is 19,7" (6 m). .

5. METER APPLICATION RULES
5.1. Sensor placement in piping
No chemical injection or batching unit (such as chlorine compound injector) should be located at the input
side of the sensor. The insufficient homogeneity of the flowing liquid may affect the flow-rate values indicated
by the meter.
The meter performance will be the best if the liquid flow in the piping is well stabilized; therefore it is
necessary to observe specific rules for the sensor placement in piping. In the contact planes between the
sensor and the adjoining piping sections should be no edges as these would cause flow turbulence. Make
sure that straight piping sections are provided before and after the sensor; their required length is
proportional to the inner diameter of the piping concerned.
If more than one flow-disturbing element such as pipe bend or fitting is located near the sensor, the required
length of straight piping section on the sensor side concerned should be multiplied by the quantity
of such elements.
In the cases of bi-directional flow-rate measurement, the same conditions concerning flow stability shall be
met at the input and output sides of the sensor.
Required straight piping sections Pipe narrowing
.
In the case where the pipeline nominal size is bigger
than nominal size of flow meter, it is necessary to use
conical reduction with the maximum slope 15°. In the
case of bi-directional flow, conical reduction must be
installed on both sides, both with minimum straight
piping 5 DN. In the case of horizontal installation,
eccentric reduction must be use to prevent bubbling.
Pipe narrowing sections with angles not exceeding 8° can be taken for straight sections (see picture above)
Page 14
Design, Assembly and Service Manual
Induction flow meter FMG600 series
Page 12 of 44
In the cases where the liquid is pumped, the flow sensor shall always be placed at the output side of the
pump to prevent underpressure in the piping which might damage the sensor. The required length of the
straight piping section between the pump and sensor is then at least 25 DN.
Pump in the piping Closing valve in the piping
For the same reason, the sensor shall be always placed before the closing valve in the piping.
The sensor can be fitted in the piping in either horizontal or vertical position. However, make sure that the
electrode axis is always horizontal and, if the sensor is mounted in a horizontal position, the flange section
for attachment of the electronic unit box faces upwards.

Elektrode
axis
Electrode axis Sensor mounted in a vertical position
In the cases where the sensor is mounted in a vertical position, the flow direction shall always be upwards.
Risk of liquid aeration Permanent flooding of sensor
To ensure correct meter function at all times, the measured liquid shall completely fill up the sensor and no
air bubbles shall be permitted to accumulate or develop in the sensor tube. Therefore the sensor shall never
be placed in the upper pocket of the piping or in a vertical piping section where the flow direction is
downwards.
In piping systems where complete flooding of the piping cannot always be guaranteed, consider placing the
sensor in a bottom pocket where full flooding is sure.
If the sensor is located near a free discharge point, such point shall be by at least 2 DN higher than the top
part of the sensor.
Sensor placement near free discharge point
Page 16
Design, Assembly and Service Manual
Induction flow meter FMG600 series
Page 14 of 44
Make sure that the adjoining piping is clamped/supported as close to the sensor as possible, to prevent
vibrations and damage to the sensor.
Undesirable sensor vibrations Sensor bypass
In applications where continuous liquid flow is essential, a bypass shall be provided to allow for sensor
servicing. A sensor bypass may be also reasonable solution in the cases where, to dismantle the flow sensor
from the piping, liquid from a very long piping section would have to be discharged.
5.2. Sensor earthing
The correct meter function requires that the sensor and adjoining piping sections be connected by lowimpedance earthing conductors to the earth potential and the protection conductor of the power source. The
overall arrangement shall be such that the potentials of the measured liquid at the sensor input and output
sides are close to the ground.
5.2.1. Flanged version
With a flanged sensor installed in conductive piping, the flanges shall be electrically connected and the
piping put to the earth.
Flange earthing connection Earthing rings
Should the adjoining piping sections be non-conductive, grounding rings or similar arrangement shall be
used to ensure that the electric potential of the measured liquid is put to the earth.
With a remote version, it is recommended to electrically connect flow sensor with electronics housing box
with conductors AWG10 or AWG12 to assure stabilization of the electric potentials.

6. FLOW METER INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL START
The meter installation work shall be performed in strict observance of the procedures and rules described
in this manual.
To prevent undesirable interference, the power cables shall be laid at least 10“ (25 cm) away from all signal
cables. The signal cables include the cable connecting the sensor and the associated electronic unit (in the
case of a remote meter version), signal output cables and the cable of the RS 485 communication line. All
cables shall be laid outside the thermal insulation layer on the piping. Only shielded conductors shall be used
to connect the output signals and the RS 485 line where the shielding shall be connected to the ground
potential only on the side of the control system.
In applications where high levels of electromagnetic field interference at the measuring location can be
expected (e.g. in the vicinity of power frequency converters), the remote meter version should be avoided. In
these cases it is also recommended to include a filter in the power supply line to the electronic unit.
Filter specification: The filter suppresses spread of the undesirable high frequency disturbances from power
supply cable into the flow meter. It is possible to find standard product of any filter producer. Use filter with
desired protection, or install filter inside of the box with protection. Filter should be as near to the converter,
as possible. Keep all security standards.
Operating voltage: 115 V/60 Hz (250V/50Hz)
Nominal current: 0,5A and more
Losses: 10 kHz 10 to 20 dB
10MHz 40dB
6.1. Sensor installation
The measurement point chosen for the sensor installation should ensure that the internal part of the sensor
is fully flooded with the measured liquid at all times. Any, if partial, emptying or aeration of sensor
in operation shall be avoided. If the sensor is mounted in vertical position, the only permitted liquid flow
direction is upwards. No thermal insulation shall be used on the sensor body.
Sensor must never be under thermal insulation. If flow meter is installed in the pipeline with thermal
insulation, this insulation must be interrupted and sensor must be out of the insulation.
The internal diameters of the piping, connecting flanges and the sensor tube shall be identical. The flange
faces shall be perpendicular to the piping. The input and output piping sections including seals shall be
perfectly aligned, with no protruding edges. In the case of a non-conductive piping, use grounding rings
on both sides of the sensor.
The arrow on the sensor body shall indicate the liquid flow direction (positive flow direction).
Upon loosening the four bolts holding the electronic unit box in position on the sensor, the box can be rotated
through ±180°. The same system for the box rotation can be used if the box is mounted on a bracket
attached to a vertical support plate or wall.
Do not expose the electronics box to straight sunshine, for outdoor installation use cove or shield - it is
not in the normal scope of supply.

6.2. Electric connections of induction flow meter
The terminals for connecting cables can be accessed upon removal of a cover at the rear part of the box
housing the electronic unit. The cover is held by six socket-head bolts. A schematic diagram of the
connections is shown on the rear side of the cover. Note: USB is for factory calibration only.
Examples of labels showing power supply (line voltage or 24VDC source) and meter signal interconnection
PE PE grounding conductor PEPE grounding conductor
N N neutral conductor MM middle conductor
U L phase conductor CL+ +24 V
To connect the power source, use a standard cable of three conductors of square section, not exceeding
3 x AWG 16 (1,5 mm
temperature of at least 194 ºF (90 ºC). Only cables with outer diameters from 0.16" to 0.31“(4 to 8 mm) can
be used with grommet. Using of other diameters of cables cause breaking of protection IP67.
The earthing conductor shall be longer than the phase and neutral conductors. This is a safety requirement
as in the case of loosening the cable clamping in the gland, the earthing conductor shall be the last to be
disconnected from the terminal.
The power supply line shall be protected by an overcurrent circuit breaker. A seal should be applied on the
breaker to prevent unauthorised handling. The electronic unit has no independent power switch.. The
recommended rating of the overcurrent circuit breaker is 4 to 6 A.

7.1.2. Samples
The number of samples N, on the basis of which the average flow rate value is determined, can be set within
the range of 1 to 255. While the measurement frequency is 6.25Hz (or 3.125, 1 or 0.5Hz), fast (step)
changes in the flow rate will be smoothened within the interval of 0.08 to 20.40s (0.16 to 40.80s, 0.5 to
127.5s or 1 to 255s). The averaging feature is useful in the cases where the flow through the meter sensor is
unstable, the fluid is turbulent or where there are air bubbles trapped in the fluid flow.
The averaging function helps suppress fast changes in the fluid flow rate. Average flow rate as measured
and displayed is the parameter used to calculate other meter outputs.

Equipment with voltage input Current output connected as a voltage
source to feed the (passive) output 2
The output voltage for the associated equipment is defined as the voltage drop on resistor R. It holds:
U = I R.
For the voltage range of 0.. 10V, select R = 500 and the analog current output range 0.. 20mA. Resistor R
shall be placed as close to the input terminals of the co-operating (controlled) equipment as possible. The
maximum voltage (voltage drop on the resistor) is 10V. The input impedance of the controlled equipment
shall be at least 100 times higher than that of resistor R.
The interconnection of the current output as an auxiliary power source for the binary outputs is shown in the
above picture. This arrangement assumes that the current output is not used for the purposes of flow rate
indicator. Here the current output needs be set in the “Fixed current” mode of operation. The voltage drop on
resistor Ri is used as supply voltage for the binary output (via resistor Rz). The input impedance of the
associated equipment shall be at least 10 times higher than that of resistor Rz, while Rz shall be at least
10 times higher than Ri. It holds: Ri < Rz < input impedance of the associated equipment.
Technical specifications of analog output
The analog output is controlled by a 12-bit DA converter. The operational range 0 to 20mA is divided into
4,096 steps. One step (1LSB) therefore corresponds to about 0.005mA (0.025% of 20mA). This resolution
applies to all output ranges. The current range 4 ... 20mA is software-defined with the converter steps
reduced accordingly. The maximum voltage at the current output is 20V; the maximum resistance of the
current loop is 1,000.
7.1.4. Output function
The configuration of the induction flow meter includes two binary multifunctional outputs, electrically isolated
by means of optocouplers. The output transistors of the optocouplers are accessible via terminals 12-13 and
14-15. These are passive outputs that need external power source. Alternatively they can be powered by the
analog output in the fixed-current mode as described above. The binary outputs can be loaded and
repeatedly switch on and off currents 1 to 50mA.
Default settings: Output 1: frequency output, Output 2: pulse output.
Flow meter can be equipped with an output relay, designated in the menu as item "Relay functions".
Electrically isolated relay contacts are accessible via terminals 1-2-3. For impulse output, both the impulse
width and the minimum gap length are set at 0,5 s. To ensure correct functioning of the impulse function, it is
necessary to set the outputimpulse constant (the fluid volume per impulse) so that the memory block of
unsentimpulses would never overflow.

Pulse outputs
In any of the pulse modes, an pulse will be generated as soon as a defined (preset) fluid volume passes
through the meter sensor. The impulse mode requires specification of the following
three parameters: pulse width “t
“, minimum time gap between two successive impulses “t
U
“ and fluid
D
volume per impulse “V”.
This mode provides for integration of the flow rate
values in time. As soon as a preset fluid volume V
passes through the meter, an impulse of width t
generated. After each impulse, a gap of at least t
follows. If, after elapsing of the t
period, fluid volume
D
U
is
D
V has not yet passed through the sensor, the output
remains inactive. If the volume passed is equal to or
greater than V, another impulse plus gap are
immediately generated. Should the preset volume V
pass before the end of the previous impulse, the nongenerated impulse will be stored in a accumulator with
the capacity of 255 impulses. Should the impulse
accumulator overflow, an error message will be
generated. To ensure correct functioning of the meter
impulse function, it is necessary to set the impulse
output parameters so that the expected impulse
frequency shall correspond to the impulse width and
gap length selected.
Pulse generation principle
It holds: maximum pulse frequency = 1 / ( tU + tD)
The volume per impulse parameter can be set within the range of 0.001 to 1,000,000 liters. The pulse width
and gap length can be set at 10 to 2,550ms in steps of 10ms. The setting procedure consists
of selecting numbers from 1 to 255 on the meter display. Multiplied by 10, the figure shows the impulse width
or gap length in milliseconds.
From the above it follows that the maximum impulse frequency is 50 per sec.
Regarding the flow rate conditions (see below), impulses can be generated in three different modes. During
the tU periods, the output is closed.

In the frequency modes, the output signals will be impulses of impulse-to-gap ratio 1:1. The frequency range
available is from 1Hz to 10kHz.
Comment:
The electronic unit of the meter includes only one frequency generator. It is therefore impossible
to select different frequencies for each output, or combine the fixed-frequency mode at one output with
frequency related to flow rate mode at the other output. On the other hand, the operator may select the
frequency related to flow rate mode in the positive direction at one output with that in the negative direction
at the other output, with the same frequency-to-flow-rate ratios.

7.1.5. Electrode cleaning
During the meter operation, non-conducting substances may accumulate in the form of a layer on the sensor
electrodes. This increases the contact resistance between the electrode and the measured fluid and results
in decreased measurement accuracy. The FMG600 SERIES flow meter offers a sensor electrode cleaning
function without sensor dismantling. The cleaning method is based on the electro-chemical phenomenon
Page 37
Design, Assembly and Service Manual
Induction flow meter FMG600 series
Page 35 of 44
where the electrodes are connected to an AC voltage source causing the accumulated layer to dissolve in
the measured fluid. It is recommended that the cleaning process be repeated in regular intervals.
One cleaning cycle lasts 1 minute. Measurements are discontinued during the cleaning action while the
immediately preceding flow conditions are being simulated. The cleaning action can be indicated using the
multifunctional outputs. While the cleaning process is in progress, message "Cleaning Electrodes" can be
seen on the top display line. The bottom line shows last value of the selected measured quantity. As soon as
the cleaning action is over, the meter resumes normal measurements.
There are several ways of initiating the electrode cleaning cycle:

switched on. In the “Periodic [Day]” mode of operation, cleaning processes will be initiated automatically in
regular intervals to be chosen by the user from the range 1 to 255 days. The time counting process will
always start upon setting a new cleaning period.

7.1.6. Serial line
The meter is provided with a serial communication interface, intended for servicing purposes. In the standard
configuration, the USB port is implemented. Electrically insulated port RS 485 is included on special request.
Serial port USB
This port is accessible through USB type B connector. Interconnection to the computer is facilitated by
means of a cable provided with USB type A connector at one end and USB type B connector at the other
end.
The USB port is not insulated from the other meter circuits; it is primarily intended for servicing purposes.
Permanent operational use is not recommended.
Serial port RS 485
The RS 485 port is optional accessory of the induction meter. It is electrically insulated from the other meter
circuitry and allows for interconnection of up to 31 flow meters to a common communication network. The
maximum length of the connecting two-wire twisted cable is 3,937 ft (1,200m). If repeaters are used, the

Connection of flow meters to an RS 485 communication line
Communication
Communication consists of individual data packets. To ensure correct function of a communication network,
each station must have a different address. On delivery, all induction flow meters will have the following
setting of communication parameters: Address 1, Group 1, Speed 9600Bd, Parity SL.
Communication uses the Floset 2.0 program package.
The communication protocol is not included in this brochure; it can be obtained from the meter manufacturer
on request.

7.1.9. Zero setting
The zero-setting function is useful in the cases where the actual flow rate is very small (e.g. due to leakage
in closed valves) and for all practical purposes equal to zero. This function can only be used with meters in a
single flow-direction application. Should you open the zero-setting programming mode by mistake (not
wishing to change the zero setting), proceed using the Cancel-Zero setting sequence of commands.
