SECTION 1.0: INTRODUCTION

!

1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE

The purpose of this guide is to provide installation and commissioning procedures and basic
operating instructions for the F-3200 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meter.

1.2 PRINICPLE OF OPERATION

The operating principles of ONICON F-3200 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meters are based on
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction. Faraday’s Law states that a voltage will be induced
in a conductor (water or other conductive liquid) when it passes through a magnetic eld
(generated by the meter), and the induced voltage will be directly proportional to the velocity of
the conductor. By placing electrodes on opposite sides of the ow tube, it is possible to accurately
measure the induced voltage and determine the corresponding velocity of the owing liquid.

WARNING

Only qualied service personnel should attempt to install or service this product. Serious injury may
result from the improper installation or use of this product.

1.3 TYPICAL FLOW METER INSTALLATION

ONICON’S F-3200 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meters are suitable for volumetric ow
measurement of electrically conductive liquids in a wide variety of applications including
bi-directional applications.

1.5.2 Gaskets

Gaskets are required for sensor bodies with ebonite and polypropylene liners and are
strongly recommended for meters with PTFE liners. Gasket dimensions must comply with
ASME B16.5 ange standards. ONICON is not a gasket manufacturer and does not supply
gaskets for this product.

The following general suggestions are provided to assist the installer in choosing the
proper gasket material. In all cases, the responsibility of selecting the appropriate material
rests with the installer.

Gaskets are used to create a seal between the ow meter liner surface and the surface
of the mating ange. The proper choice of gasket material will allow for a leak free
connection at the time of installation and maintain that seal over time. How well the
gasket works depends on a number of factors. Each of these should be considered when
choosing a gasket material.

• Is it chemically compatible with the uid?

• Will it withstand the expected minimum and maximum operating temperatures?

• Does it provide enough resiliency and creep resistance to maintain loading over time?

• Will it deform enough to create a seal by lling imperfections in the sealing surfaces?

• Is it thick enough to take up variations in atness of the surface?

In many cases a simple 1/8” red rubber gasket with a Shore A hardness (Durometer) of
60 – 80 will sufce. Your local gasket supplier should be able to guide you in selecting the
best material for your application.

1.6 WORKING ENVIRONMENT

The F-3200 was designed for installation and use in typical industrial environments that are free
of corrosive liquids and fumes, direct liquid exposure, direct sunlight, temperature extremes and
vibrations.

• Integral Mount Transmitter

F-3200 inline magnetic ow meters with integrally mounted transmitters are shipped fully
assembled. Remove the meter from the shipping carton and inspect it for physical damage.

• Remote Mount Transmitter

F-3200 inline magnetic ow meters ordered with the remote transmitter mounting option will
be provided in one carton that contains the ow sensor body, the transmitter with mounting
hardware and the necessary cable to connect the two together. Remove each and inspect it for
physical damage.

IMPORTANT NOTE

F-3200 transmitters and sensor bodies are two parts of one uniquely calibrated system and must be
installed together. Mixing components from other systems will result in signicant calibration errors.

• Grounding Rings

Grounding rings are optional accessories that may be required for proper installation.
Grounding rings may be shipped in a separate carton. Remove each and inspect it for
physical damage.

SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION

The F-3200 Inline Electromagnetic Flow Meter should be installed by experienced plumbers,
electricians and others with related knowledge and experience in the heating, cooling, and uid
metering elds. ONICON will be happy to assist with technical recommendations and to provide
guidance by telephone and/or email. On-site eld engineering, installation and service are also
available at an additional cost.

The installer should use good trade practices and must adhere to all state and local building or other
applicable codes.

3.1 SITE SELECTION

Careful attention during the site selection process will help the installers with the initial
installation, reduce start-up problems, and make future maintenance easier. For example, do not
install the ow meter where it will be difcult for personnel to perform periodic maintenance.
When selecting a site for mounting, consider the criteria under Section 1.6, WORKING
ENVIRONMENT, as well as the following:

IMPORTANT NOTE

Proper site selection is critical to the performance of this ow meter. The ow meter must be
properly located within the piping system in order to ensure an accurate ow measurement.

F-3200 Flow Meter Manual 05/14 - 0671-12 / 18325 Page 12

3.1.1 General Guidelines

i

i

When properly installed, the ow meter will only measure ow associated with that
portion of the piping system for which the ow measurement is being made. Choose the
location with the longest straight unobstructed run of pipe, keeping in mind that in some
applications it may be possible to locate the meter in either the supply or return pipe.

3.1.2 Flow Direction

F-3200 ow meters are inherently bi-directional and changes in ow direction are
indicated by a change in polarity of the sensing signal. In order for the meter to display
the correct polarity, it is necessary to orient the meter relative to ow direction during
the installation process. The sign of the ow rate is positive when the ow direction is
from – to + as printed on the tag plate as shown below. Prior to installation, determine the
direction of ow in the piping system and orient the meter accordingly.

Flow direction is indicated by polarity symbols (+/-) and ow totals are accumulated separately
based on direction. The polarity of the ow indication may be reversed by reversing the polarity of
the Ka coefcient.

3.1.3 Remote Mounted Transmitter

Find an easily accessible location where wire connections can be made and meter readings
can be taken from oor level. Mount the transmitter on a vibration free surface. Avoid
locations that contain electric motors or other strong sources of electrical interference.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The standard F-3200 remote mounted transmitter option is provided without a pre-amplier. As
a result, the maximum distance it can be located away from the sensor body is limited to 65ft. A
sensor body with a pre-amplier is also available. With this option the remote transmitter may be
located up to 1640 ft away from the sensor body. Contact ONICON if you need to locate the remote
transmitter more than 65ft from the sensor body.

transitions and obstructions for a distance of at least 3 diameters upstream and 2 diameters

downstream.

Recommended Installation

Avoid these installations

Place pipe at least 3 pipe

diameters downstream and

2 pipe diameters upstream

from bends and obstru-

tions.

Avoid downward ow

which can lead to partially

3.2.6 Installation Instructions

WARNING

Installation of this product should only be attempted by qualied tradespersons and must comply
with all local, state and federal building codes.

1. Thoroughly clean all ange surfaces removing all traces of any old gasket material or
any adhesive residue.

2. Inspect all ange surfaces for warping, pitting or other surface imperfections that may
prevent a good seal.

3. Use new bolts, nuts and hardened washers. ONICON recommends the use of B7 nuts,
bolts and washers. Prior to installation, lubricate the bolt threads, nuts, washer faces
and the underside of the bolt head with lubricant (Fel Pro C5A or equivalent). This
lubricant is necessary to ensure uniform stress distribution on the sealing surface. Use
care not to get any lubricant on the liner or gasket material.

4. Center the new gasket on the liner surface. Do not allow the gasket to protrude into the
ow stream.

5. Use the torque specications shown below to determine the recommended nal bolt
torque requirements.

3.3.1 Input Power Requirements

F-3000 Electromagnetic Flow Meters equipped with advanced transmitters are available with two
different options for input power. This is not a user selectable function and must be congured at
the factory.

Special care is required to ensure that the F-3200 is properly connected to earth through an
earth wire. This connection is required to prevent random electrical noise from interfering with
the operation of the meter. (See section 3.3.3 for details.)

* Low Voltage: 18 – 45 VDC, 18 – 45 VAC 45/66 Hz, 300 mA maximum
* High Voltage (Mains): 100 – 240 VAC 45/66 Hz, 35 mA maximum

IMPORTANT NOTE

This option is not eld selectable. Contact the factory if you need to change the input voltage rating.

CAUTION/WARNING

This product must be connected to earth ground for proper operation. Failure to do so will result in
erratic operation and an increased risk of injury.

WARNING

All mains voltage connections must be made through pre-drilled conduit/strain relief opening
located at the bottom of the enclosure. Failure to do so will result in an increased risk of injury.

3.3.2 Analog and Pulse Output Signals

The primary output signals from ONICON F-3200 series electromagnetic ow meters include
a single analog output for ow rate and two programmable pulse outputs for use as frequency,
scaled pulse, alarm and ow direction signals. The three outputs have 500 VDC of electrical
isolation between the ow sensing circuitry, the microprocessor circuitry, and the pulse and
analog output circuitry. In addition, the output circuits operate from dedicated power supply
circuitry that is isolated from all other internal power sources and from earth.

Redundant Output Option

The redundant output option for the F-3200 series electromagnetic ow meter provides complete
signal redundancy for the three primary output signals from the meter. It provides an additional
4-20mA output and two additional programmable pulse outputs and is designed with the
same 500 VDC electrical isolation as the primary outputs. The redundant output transmitter is
controlled directly from the microprocessor and is completely independent of the primary output
circuitry.

3.3.4 Earth Connection

!

i

F-3100 Electromagnetic Flow Meters are designed to detect microvolt signal levels at the electrodes
located in the ow meter body. These signals are generated as conductive uids ow through the
magnetic eld generated by the meter. If enough random electrical noise is present at the electrodes,
it can interfere with the ow measurement. Care must be taken during installation to minimize the
effects of electrical noise on the ow meter.

The most effective way to minimize the effects of electrical noise is to make sure that the pipe,
uid, ow meter body and ow meter transmitter are all connected to the same earth ground.
This accomplishes two important goals. First, it ensures that the pipe, uid, ow meter body and
electronics are all at the same electrical potential, and second, it ensures that this electrical potential
is the same as earth ground.

In order to be certain that the meter is properly connected to earth, the ow meter body earth
connections (at the anges or on the neck of wafer meters) and the transmitter earth connection
should be run directly to a known earth connection. The length of this earth cable should be as short
as practically possible, preferably ≤25 feet in length. The table below lists earth connections from
best to worst.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Non-metallic pipes are more susceptible to electrical noise. Grounding rings installed upstream
and downstream of the ow meter body to reduce the electrical noise present in the pipe may be
required for proper operation.

CAUTION

Do not use bolts that hold pressure to make earth connections. Using ange bolts may result in poor
electrical connections due to the presence of paint and/or lubricants. Use the dedicated ange earth
connections or the dedicated earth connection on the neck of wafer style meters.

Earth Connections (stranded wire 14 - 18 AWG)

Best Earth grounding rod driven into the ground.

Earth wire connected directly to the building electrical service panel.

Worst Earth wire connection inside an electrical outlet near the meter.

4.1 DISPLAY AND USER INTERFACE

The F-3200 advanced transmitter is equipped with a backlit graphic LCD capable of displaying
alphanumeric and graphical data. It is also capable of displaying alarm and error messages. Three
pushbutton keys located on the membrane panel immediately below the display are used to view
the displayed data and access program functions.

F-3200 Flow Meter Manual 05/14 - 0671-12 / 18325 Page 31

4.2 HELPFUL HINTS FOR START-UP AND COMMISSIONING

A step-by-step procedure and companion worksheet are located on the next two pages. Please
read all installation instructions and these helpfull hints carefully before proceeding with
installation, start-up and commissioning.

1. ONICON ow meters are individually calibrated for a particular application. Be sure to verify the pipe
size and location.

2. The electronic sensing system will not work in air. The pipe must be full for proper operation.

3. When measuring analog output signals, remember that currents (mA) must be measured in series, while
voltages are measured in parallel. If the 4-20 mA signal is already connected to a control system, you
must break the connection and measure the signal in series.

4. When measuring frequency outputs in hertz, take your multimeter out of “autorange mode” and
manually set range for a voltage level above 15 VDC. This will prevent false readings when signal is not
present.

5. Never connect power to analog or frequency output signal wires. ONICON F-3200 Flow Meters are not
“loop powered” devices.

4.3 START-UP AND COMMISSIONING

Please read the entire procedure carefully before proceeding. Wiring instructions are located
on pages 21 - 24 of this manual. A worksheet for checking off the following steps and recording
measured values is located on the next page.

1. Conrm ow meter
location and adequate straight
pipe run to achieve desired
results.

2. Conrm control system
programming.

3. Conrm connection to correct
ONICON display or Btu meter
(if ordered).

4. Verify wiring before
connecting power.

5. Verify that the input voltage
available to power the meter
is appropriate for the meter
version. (Check label inside
transmitter enclosure LV=Low
voltage, HV=High voltage.

6. Connect power.

Is the meter located in the correct location as required by the plans?
Compare actual straight pipe upstream and downstream of the meter location to recommend­ed distances identied in this manual.

Conrm that the control system input point is properly congured for the analog range
(or scale factor) identied on the calibration certicate.

Conrm that the ow meter serial number matches the ONICON display or Btu meter
serial number (when ordered together).

Prior to connecting the power, verify that the wiring is correct as shown in this manual and/or
the additional wiring diagram provided with ONICON display or Btu meter. If in doubt, call
factory for assistance before proceeding further.

Low voltage: 18 - 63 VDC or 15 - 45 VAC 45/66Hz, 300 mA maximum

High voltage: 90 - 265 VAC 45/66Hz, 35 mA maximum

Wait approximately 45 seconds after power-on before proceeding further.

The following steps require ow in the pipe. Flow signal readings should be taken while holding the ow rate
constant if possible. Otherwise, take the various output readings as quickly as possible.

7. Measure and record
analog or binary outputs.

Current Output:

Scaled Output:

8. Compare various output signals
to each other and to the ow
rate displayed and to the control
system.

Refer to ow meter wiring diagram for the various outputs available, based on your particular
ow meter model. Use the following formulas to calculate ow rate from measured analog
signals:

GPM = (measured current in mA - 4) X Full Scale Analog Flow Rate

• Verify correct wiring to control system (See wiring diagram.)

• Check display for alarm messages. Verify that the pipe is full.

• Verify that the sensor body and transmitter are both connected to earth ground.

• Verify correct wiring to control system (see wiring diagram).

• Conrm that the output signals are consistent (frequency vs. analog, etc).

• Conrm that the control system is programmed for correct ow range or scale factor.

• Check for ground loop or offset voltage:

• Verify that the sensor body and transmitter are both connected to earth ground.

• Disconnect analog signal input from control system and measure analog outputs
directly from the ow meter.

• Re-connect signal input to control system and measure the analog signals again.

• Any difference between these readings indicates a potential ground loop or offset
voltage.

• Please contact ONICON for further assistance.

• Verify that all wires from the ow meter are connected to the display module or Btu
meter.
