2. GENERAL
In comparison with the previously offered instruments (OVAL EL4080 series), substantial reduction in
physical geometry, improved functions and ease of operation have been achieved. Included among the
improvements in this newly developed instrument are simplified parameter changes and data logging with
IC cards along with a large, easy-to-read LCD display.

EL4311
EL4321
EL4331
Coriolis flowmeter and, upon calucation, displays the density of process fluid.
It also can display the density corrected for reference temperature and provide an analog
output.
This instrument receives mass flow signal and temperature/density signals from the OVAL
Coriolis flowmeter and, upon calucation, displays the total flow of solids content of process
fluid that contains solids.
It also can display the density corrected for reference temperature and provide an analog
output.
This instrument receives density frequency signal from the density sensor and provides
an analog output in proportion to the density of metered process fluid. In response to temperature and pressure signals (EL4321 only), it also can provide an output corrected for
reference conditions.
2.1 Features
(1) Performs calculation of density corrected for temperature.
(2) Changing the ranges of density, temperature, pressure, or other parameters, of the companion densi-
tometer is simple by keystrokes on the front-panel keypad or by inserting an IC card into the slot.
(3) A built-in CPU offers a high degree of performance and accuracy.
(4) Variables such as temperature, pressure, and density can be reviewed on command with the front
panel keypad, whether or not computation is in progress.
(5) A nonvolatile memory (E2PROM) retains all parameters in the event of an AC power failure.
(6) Displays the percent concentration of solids content in the slurries and provides its analog output
(EL4301 only).
(7) Produces high and low density alarm outputs (set to desired limits) (EL4301 only).
(8) If an error occurs, its nature is identified as an error message on the display.

4. WIRING
(See the Wiring "Guidelines" in the instruction manual of the companion pulse generator.)
4.1 Field Wiring Cables
(1) Use electrostatically shielded, polyethylene insulated, vinyl sheathed control cables (CEVS, 1.25-2
mm, 2-conductor or 3-conductor), or equivalent, for input signal cables from the flowmeter.
For output signal cables, use insulated vinyl sheathed cables (CVV, CVS ... JIS C 3401).
(2) Ground the end of shield wire to "G" terminal of the instrument. At the sensor end, leave the end of
shield wire unconnected.
4.2 Wiring Connections
(1) Field wiring through a conduit is recommended.
NOTE: In routing field wiring, use a separate conduit for power cable from other signal cables to
eliminate the possibility of stray current pickup.
(2) Separate field wiring from other power lines and power circuits to minimize the possibility of inductive
interference.
(3) Using crimp-type lugs for wiring, ensure good electrical coannections.
Terminals are found on the back of the instrument (Fig. 4.1).
4.3 Description of Terminal Blocks for External Connections
Terminal blocks for external connections (TB1, TB2,
and TB3) are found on the back of the instrument
as shown in Fig. 4.1. Identification of terminals
and connection method appear in Section 4.3.1
"Terminal Identifications (1) and (2)" that follow.
NOTE: TB1 and TB2 terminal numbers are
indicated on the side of terminal blocks.
CAUTION
Make wiring connections upon confirmation of the validity of flowmeter (pulse
generator) to receiving instrument combination by their product code number,
instrument number, etc.

8. PREPARATIONAL CHECKS AND OPERATION
8.1 Preparation Before Operation
(1) Ensure that the instrument and related equipment are correctly installed and wired with no place left
unfinished.
WARNING: Make sure to see that the power terminals are connected to a power
source of the rated voltage. Applying a power source of incorrect voltage
could ruin your instrument.
(2) Supply power to this instrument and make certain to see that the front panel display is illuminated.
The display will remain unilluminated for one second after power on, which however is by no means
any indication of fault.
8.2 Preparational Checks
CAUTION: Allow a warmup period for 60 minutes or so after you turn on the power.
Verify if the instrument operates with no fluid flow.
How to Check
(1) Couple sources of simulated temperature and pressure signals.
(2) Using the shift keys, select menu items and verify the information displayed.
NOTE: See the KEY OPERATION MANUAL.
(3) Inject a simulated input pulse train or density signal representing the type of the companion pulse
generator.
(4) Select display menu items of the total count before correction and corrected total count, or the density
before correction and corrected density, and make sure that incoming pulses are being accumulated
or calculated. Also, verify that pulse output and analog output are properly generated.
(5) Compare the obtained readings on the display with corresponding theoretical values.
8.3 Operation
CAUTION: Allow a warmup period for 60 minutes or so after you turn on the power.
(1) Select your power reset or non-reset (accumulated total) option.
NOTE: See the KEY OPERATION MANUAL.
(2) Turn on power. While the initial check screen remains displayed, indicating that the process of veri-
fying parameters and variables is in progress after you turned on the power, your instrument will not
accept any pulse input.
(3) Place your instrument in service operation by allowing the fluid to be metered.

11. BEHAVIOR IN ERRATIC CONDITIONS
(1) Erratic A/D Converter
If, following energization of A/D converter circuit, the conversion process is not completed within the
specified time period, it is found that the circuit has a problem. At this point, temperature and pressure
fallback values are used for calculation.
(2) Temperature and Pressure Input Out of Range
If the input exceeds the high limit or falls below the low limit, its default fallback value is used for
calculation.
(3) Analog Output Overflow
A full scale output is produced across the analog output terminals.
