3. GENERAL
EX DELTAⅡ is a vortex flowmeter, making use of a piezoelectric sensor. Behind the bluff body in a
flowing fluid, von Karman vortices form and shed proportional to the rate of flow on alternating side of the
bluff body placed perpendicular to the stream of flow. A piezoelectric sensor picks up the frequency of
these vortices, which is used for flowrate measurement.
By detecting the flowrate of a section representative of the total flow across the pipeline with a probe
inserted into the pipeline, this insertion type EX DELTAⅡ measures the total flowrate. This type of meter
is ideally suited for flow measurements in large diameter lines.
The probe measures 50 millimeters in nominal diameter and consists of a bluff body containing a
piezoelectric sensor. Depending on the way the probe is installed in the main pipe, two types are
available: fixed and hottap. The latter design allows sensor inspection and replacement without
interrupting the process flow in the line.
This meter is full of intelligent features to review, set up, change compensated calculations, ranges,
parameters, with self diagnostics and loop test capabilities through communications with OVAL Smart
Communication Unit (Model EL2310) and general-purpose Windows PC.
Features
(1) A broad flow range with high metering accuracy.
(2) The sensor isolated from the process fluid and simple meter design with no moving parts contributes
to long life.
(3) No loss of accuracy with age.
(4) A wide temperature and pressure range. Accepts most fluids, including liquids, gases and steam.
(5) Small pressure loss across the meter saves energy.
(6) Pipeline closure is not required in the event of an emergency.
(7) Output being pulses proportional to flow velocity makes totalization simple.
(8) Economy is evident when it comes to flow measurements in large diameter pipelines.
4. COMPONENT NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
Refer to Figs. 4.1 and 4.2 on the next page.
① Meter Body (probe):
Consists of a measuring pipe and a vortex shedding body (bluff body). As the metered material flows,
von Karman vortices form and shed behind the bluff body.
② Sensor (vortex sensing element):
Has a built-in piezoelectric sensor. All wetted parts are made of stainless steel for maximum life
expectancy.
③ Adapter (shaft assembly):
Connects the meter body with the preamplifier. To be installed on the pipeline with a flange. Also
serves to protect the sensor and dissipate heat.
④ Preamplifier:
Transforms changes in electric charges generated from the sensor into an output signal representing
the flowrate. Consists of the interface board, amplifier board, isolation board, CPU board, and display.
Output comes in five types-current pulse (factored/unfctored), open collector pulse (factored/
unfctored) and analog output.
⑤ Preamplifier PA25S (totalizer and digital indicator):
Physical orientation of the preamplifier is adjustable in steps of 90 deg. around the adapter axis (see
Sec. 6.10 on page 19). The display can also be oriented in steps of 90 deg. within the preamplifier
housing.

5. PIPING INSTRUCTIONS
For general consideration, see JIS Z 8766, "Flowrate Measurement Methods with Vortex Flowmeters".
5.1 Standard Piping Conditions
It is generally required that the flow pattern of a material moving into an inferential type meter be as
uniform as possible for accurate metering. Accordingly, proper flow straightening measures must be
taken when the application engineer considers installation of a DELTA meter. In applications where OVAL
straightening devices (flow straightener, and downstream pipe) are used, a straight pipe section is not
required unless otherwise specified. But if you plan to solve the flow pattern problem with a straight pipe
section alone, secure the length of a straight pipe conforming to the ISO standards given in Table 5.1
below:
(1) OVAL flow straightener combined with downstream pipe

5.2 Pipes to be Used
Pipes having the inside diameter specified at the time you placed an order for this meter should be used
for upstream and downstream pipes. Otherwise, consult the factory for compatibility.
5.3 Location of Pressure Gauge and Thermometer Taps
Taps for the pressure gauge and/or thermometer,

downstream side of pressure detection and, at the
same time, upstream of the control valve.
Fig. 5.1
5.4 Pulsation
Compressors, Roots blowers and other pulsation pressure generating sources could adversely affect
meter performance. Minimize pulsating pressures by referring to the following formula:
N <7.2 ρV2 (Pa)
where N : Pulsation pressure (Pa)
ρ: Density (kg/m3)
V : Minimum velocity (m/s)
If pulsation pressure is excessive, the following measures should be taken into consideration:
① Locate the source of pulsation downstream of the meter or locate it as far from the meter as possible.
② Provide a pulsation attenuator, such as a chamber or pulsation snapper.
③ Shut off valves upstream and downstream of the meter when fluid flow is interrupted (as a precaution
against erratic signal generation at zero flow).
5.5 Prevention of Cavitation (liquid service)
To prevent cavitation, line pressure should be maintained above the level calculated by the following
formula:
P≧2.60ΔP+1.25P0 (MPa abs.)
where ΔP: Pressure loss (MPa) (See page 48.)
P0: Steam pressure of liquid (MPa abs.)
ρ: Density (kg/m3)
V : Flow velocity (m/s)

5.6 Prevention of Excessive Flowrate
MeterUpstream ValveDownstream Valve
Valve in Bypass Line
Flow
Direction
To ensure long meter life, transient flowrates
should be held below 1.6 times the meter's
maximum rating. Shown below are typical
examples in ste a m measure m e n t wher e
excessive flow is often encountered:
Examples where meter's maximum rating is
exceeded on a momentarily basis
D-582-3-E
「A」
In steam measurement
「B」
Whe n P1>P2, quickly o pening the v alve will
result in a fluid flow at a rate dependent on the
li ne resistance (mainly valve p ort position in
"A" or meter resistance in "B"). The resultant
rate of incoming flow is the sum of downstream
pipeline volume and consumption, but if pressure
Fig. 5.2
differential across the valve is great, the fluid
vel o ci t y w il l e a sil y r e ac h th e s oni c s p ee d ,
momentarily well in excess of meter's maximum
rating. (Such phenomenon is often experienced at
system startup or in batch operation.)
5.7 Prevention of Slug Flow
This meter can measure both gases and liquids, but slug flows (where gases exist in the process liquid)
will produce a loss of metering accuracy.
5.8 Keep the Pipe Filled with Process Fluid
When making a liquid measurement, ensure that the piping remains full of the process liquid. Installation
in locations where it is difficult to keep the piping filled with the process liquid, or where bubbles tend to
collect should be avoided.
5.9 Bypass Line
For maintenance and servicing purposes, it is a
good practice to provide a bypass line. Valves
upstream and downstream of the meter should be
of a design which will not disturb fluid flow pattern,
such as b all val v es ( full bor e typ e ), i n t h is
arrangement (see Fig. 5.3).
For general considerations to be observed,
refer to JIS Z 8766, "Flowrate Measurement
Methods with Vortex Shedding Flowmeters".

6.4.2 Installation Procedure
(See assembly drawing in Fig. 6.5 on page 13 and Fig. 16.1 on page 43.)
By turning in or out the handwheel, the probe of this flowmeter goes down or up and, without the need of
interrupting the line, it can be drawn out. When the meter is placed in service for measurement, the holddown disc is so positioned as to come in contact with the retaining ring (the guide is at match mark "A" on
the stud).
During maintenance or inspection, allow the probe to be housed completely in the short pipe (the guide is
at match mark "B" on the stud) and remove the meter from above the gate valve.
When removing or installing it, exercise care to minimize the possibility of unexpected trouble by
observing the following instructions:
(1) Install the hold-down disc in the right physical orientation.
(2) As the probe passes through the opening in the gate valve, make sure that the gate valve is in its fully
opened position when the probe is inserted, and that the probe is hoisted completely above the gate
valve when the gate valve is closed before attempting to remove or install.
(3) Be aware of the internal pressure when you remove the flowmeter. (Allow the pressure to escape
through the vent valve before attempting to remove the meter.)
(4) Directions of handwheel rotation
Clockwise rotation (viewed from top) → Probe descends.
Counterclockwise rotation (viewed from top) → Probe ascends.
Installation Instructions
(1) Ins t al l t he h o ld -d o wn d i sc b e tw e en t h e
mounting nozzle (mounting flange) and gate
valve.
・Use extra care to install the hold-down disc
in the right physical orientation at this time.
Ensure that the arrow m a r k o n t h e side
of hold-down disc conforms to the actual
flow direction and that the arrow mark is on
the left hand side as viewed from the flow
direction (upstream side).
・Install a gasket on top and bottom of the
hold-down disc.
(2) Install the meter.
・Remove protective caps provided on the
sides.
・Ensure that the arrow mark on the cover
conforms to the flow direction.
・Ensure that the flanges of short pipe, gate valve and hold-down disc are flush and in line with the
periphery and the center mark (V-groove).
(3) With the gate valve fully open, insert the probe until the retaining ring comes into contact with the hold-
down disc by turning the handwheel. The guide should be at the match mark (V-groove) on the stud at
this time.
・Ensure that the vent valve is fully closed and that the fitting bolts are tight.
・In the event a leak persists through the gland packing, retighten the bolts holding the packing
retainer.

Removal Procedure
(1) Disconnect wiring of the preamplifier.
(2) By turning the handwheel, retract the probe.
Retract it until the guide arrives at match mark "B" on the stud.
(3) Confirming that the probe has been retracted completely, fully shut off the gate valve.
(4) Taking precautions against internal pressure, carefully open the vent valve, allowing the internal
pressure to escape.
(5) Remove the flowmeter from above the gate valve.
6.4.3 Preamplifier Orientation
As viewed from the direction of flow (upstream
side), the preamplifier typically installs inclined to
the left. The cable entrance points downward. In

temperature relative to the ambient temperature.
Ensure that the ambient temperature is held
within the rating.
If there is a possibility that the ambient
tem perature exc eeds the allo wable limit,
th e follow ing measures should be ta ken into
consideration.
● Avoid exposure to the direct rays of the sun.
● Separate from the piping and equipment of
elevated temperatures or provide a heat shield.
● Thermally insulate the preamplifier (in a low
temperature environment).
6.7 Partially Filled Pipe
When making measurement of a liquid, make sure the piping remains full of fluid and contains no trapped
air or gases. In applications where the existing piping conditions potentially cause a partially filled

6.9 Hottap Type Drive Unit Removal
The drive unit (retractable assembly including the handwheel and screw axis) can be separated. It is
beneficial in applications where line vibration is great, or where a single drive unit is shared by multiple
flowmeters.
Drive unit removal procedure
① Installing the shaft fitting bolts [Fig. A]
Secure the adaptor A to the cover with shaft fitting bolts and hex nuts A. (This prevents the shaft from
being forced upward under line pressure.)
② Separating the shaft from its connection [Fig. B]
Taking off two hex nuts, turn the handwheel to extract the connecting studs from the adaptor A.
③ Removing the drive unit [Fig. C]
Taking off three hex bolts, remove the drive unit. Exercise care not to bump against the preamplifier or
other components.
Drive unit installation is the reverse of the removal instructions.
The preamplifier can be oriented to the desired
direction in 90°steps as shown in Fig. 6.11.
NOTE: To change the orientation, hex key (JIS
B 4648), nominal size 4, is required.

7.3 Considerations on Wiring Connections
⑴ If the meter is of explosionproof configuration, the following pressuretight gasketed lead-in should be
used. (Explosionproof rated models are furnished with it)
Certified explosionproof products
Part Name: Flameproof gasketed union
Model: KXY-16
Manufacturer: Kokusan Hambai Co., Ltd.
NOTE: The lead-in above is furnished with rubber gaskets 9, 10, and 11mm in ID. Select one that
best suits the O.D. of the cable used.
⑵ Terminal screws on the terminal block are of M3.5. Use applicable crimp-style terminals.
⑶ The ground terminal of the preamplifier must be earth grounded.
⑷ Pitch down the cable at the wiring entry to prevent rainwater and moisture from getting into the
equipment.
⑸ To eliminate the possibility of stray current pickup, route field wiring sufficiently away from high tension
lines, power lines and power equipment.
⑹ In a region where lightning is expected, a lightning arrestor should be provided.
⑺ In case of TIIS explosionproof type used under the ambient temperature of 50℃ or higher, use a cable

7.6 Hookup with Receiving Instruments
The 2-wire signal transmission system used in this flowmeter furnishes DC power to the meter. It serves
as the power lines and signal lines as well with pulse or analog current output.
An OVAL receiving instrument can be coupled directly, but instruments in general which are designed to
accept a voltage signal input require a load resistor connected in series for voltage conversion. Since the
voltage signal level varies with the load resistance value, determine the load resistance value by referring
to the receiving instrument specifications and the acceptable load resistance range shown below.
Communications with a PC (OVAL Smart Communication Unit EL2310) requires a 250 to 1000Ω Ioad.

8.2 Operation Procedure
① Drainage (in steam service)
To prevent steam hammer, drain the piping assembly completely.
② Checking the meter for proper installation.
To ensure safety, inspect connecting bolt, gaskets, etc. for tightness and other condition.
Make sure of the flow direction also.
③ Leak check
Fill the meter with fluid and check for any leak.
④ Upon completion of wiring connections, turn on power.
Verify that the receiving instrument will not register erratic counts with no flow.
⑤ Starting up the measurement line
By starting up the pump or opening up the valve, carefully allow the fluid to flow.
CAUTION: To safeguard the equipment connected, exercise care not to increase the flowrate
sharply.
⑥ Checking the operation
Verify that the receiving instrument registers properly.
Make sure that the fluid conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) and flowrate conform to the meter
specifications.

9. FLOW SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Flow sensitivity is accurately adjusted over the
specified flow range before the meter leaves the
factory.
If no output appears at the minimum flowrate
pre s uma b ly d ue to y our sp e cif i c o p era t ing
conditions (disturbance from external interference,
for example), readjust the sensitivity (trigger
level).
The same sensitivity readjustment is also required
in cases where the receiving instrument registers
erratic counts at meter shutoff due to noises
caused by pipeline oscillation, etc. after sensor replacement.
9.1 Amplifier Gain
Amplifier gain (amplification) is adjusted to the
sensor used. Do not attempt to readjust it except
when the sensor has been replaced.

It follows that trigger level adjustment allows flow

If me a s uremen t is m a d e nea r the m i nimum

adjust TLV pot to a smaller position. An important
precaution to remember: setting TLV pot to an extremely small position can lead to failure of pulse
generation due to noises caused by pipeline oscillation or other external disturbances.

10. PARAMETER SETUP
Specifications of individual flowmeters are configured by establishing the following parameters.
Parameter are set through communications using a PC and OVAL Smart Communication Unit (Mode
EL2310). (See the section under the topic "Wiring Connection." )
Since parameters are correctly established before the meter is delivered to the customer, no further
configuration is normally required.

12. PRECAUTIONS IN PULSE OUTPUT TYPE
(1) If your model is of pulse output type, the pulse output and total counter remain inoperative for 15
seconds approx. after power on and while communications with Smart Communication Unit continue.
For 15 seconds approx. after termination of communications, the pulse output and total counter also
remain inoperative.
(2) Requirements for validating communications
Communication is valid only when the following requirements are met:
◇ Flowrate at zero (There is no pulse output.)
◇ Within 15 seconds after power turn-on
NOTE: The period of 15 seconds immediately after power on is called "Communication standby
mode." (The built-in indicator, if so equipped, will display as shown in ① in the figure below.)
If communications are started during this time period, a switchover to "Communication mode"
takes place, permitting you to communicate until power is turned off the next time. (The builtin indicator will display as shown in ② in the figure below.) To start flow measurement routine,
turn power off and on again. (After power cycling, the pulse output and total counter will also
remain inoperative for 15 seconds.)
(3) While communications continue, the receiving instrument (total counter, etc.) may overcount under
certain circumstances. To eliminate the possibility of such erratic extra counting, precautions should be
taken by either disconnecting the receiving instrument before starting communications, or putting on
paper the current total reading and other important data.
(4) Except for the purpose of communications, d o n o t a t t e m p t t o c o n n e ct t he p robe of S mart
Communication Unit with the signal lines. If its probe is left connected, the influence of capacitive
impedance the interface has could go to the point of producing distorted signal waveforms and, as a
result, the receiving instrument would fail to receive pulse signals accurately.
The analog type generally permits communications with Smart Communication Unit.
However, if, in an attempt to alter current parameters, the meter is configured by mistake
such that the new parameters are incompatible with the specification, resultant sharp
changes in output may disturb the behavior of the receiving instrument. It is good practice,
therefore, to make parameter changes while the fluid flow is at zero.

13. PREAMPLIFIER OPERATION CHECK WITH SIMULATED PULSE INPUT
(Output and display)
At zero flow, you can check the preamplifier operation for its output and display according to the
procedures as set forth below.
CAUTION: Operation check should be conducted with zero flow.
13.1 Test Setup
Couple the pulse generator (open collector output) across test pins IN and TP- on the isolation board.
Feeding a full-scale frequency pulse train from the pulse generator causes the preamplifier to produce a
100% output.

13.2 Full Scale Frequency Calculation
The full scale frequency of unfactored pulse equivalent to the full scale flowrate is calculated by the
following formula:
Full scale frequency (Hz) =
NOTE: Full scale flowrate must have the same unit of measure as meter factor. The full scale
frequency established before shipment from the factory is stated in the ANALOG F.S. on the
nameplate.
If the fluid temperature ("Reference temperature for measurement" setting) is below 10℃ or above +60 ℃,
multiply the meter factor with a temperature correction factor determined by the following equation:
Temperature correction factor= (2α+β)×(Fluid temperature [℃ ] - 20) +1
where
α: Expansion coefficient of the meter material (Standard: 0.000016)
β: Expansion coefficient of the meter bluff body material (Standard: 0.000016) Process temperature: Setpoint in the "Reference temperature for measurement" (units in terms of ℃ )
Example: Given the meter factor Mf = 0.06021 L/P and
Full scale = 200m3/h, find the full scale frequency.
Full scale frequency =
= 922.7 Hz
Full Scale Flowrate (volume unit/hour)

If the flowmeter produces an output representing the normal fixed conversion of gases or the mass fixed
conversion of steam, perform conversion into a reduced meter factor by multiplying the meter factor in
volumetric term (L/P) with normal conversion factor or density and, from the meter factor thus obtained,
calculate the full scale frequency.
Example: Given meter factor Mf = 0.06021 L/P
Fluid density ρ = 1.638 kg/m3 (g/L)
If the full scale is 400 kg/h, we obtain the reduced meter factor Mf'
Mf' = 0.06021 (L/P)×1.638(g/L)
= 0.09862 (g/P)
It follows that
Full scale frequency =

14. MAINTENANCE
As long as your DELTA meter is placed in service under proper operating conditions, it will perform
satisfactorily over extended periods of time. But scale, sludge and other foreign matter contained in the
metered fluid could adhere to the inner walls of your meter and degrade meter performance in time. For
this reason, periodic disassembly and inspection is suggested.
14.1 Disassembly and Inspection
◇ Time for disassembly and inspection◇
(1) Six months after the first time operation.
(2) According to the conditions observed in (1) above, determine the second time disassembly and
inspection. (Once a year is suggested under normally encountered operating conditions.)
◇ Inspection points◇
(1) Probe (probe body and bluff body) for deposits.
(2) Observe the output waveform from the amplifier board in the amplifier and make sure that it conforms
to the waveform shown in the section under the topic "TROUBLESHOOTING" in the preamplifier
instruction manual.
14.2 Disassembly and Inspection
(1) Probe Inspection
Taking off hex bolt (107) and three hex socket head setscrews (109A), the probe body (101) can be
separated. Inspect probe body (101) on its inner walls and bluff body (105) for condition and clean.
Foreign matter in the capillary slots (a total of four places) on the sides of bluff body in particular must be
removed thoroughly. Adhere to the following instructions during this procedure:
(2) Sensor Removal
If it is desired to remove the sensor for sensor replacement or other reason, proceed as follows:
① Firstly separate the preamplifier in the following manner:
(a) Remove power.
(b) Remove cover (310) on the terminal box. (→see page 23).
(→see page 23).
(c) Disconnect the cable of external wiring. ( →see page 19).
(d) Separate shield strip (307). ( →see page 19).
(e) Disconnect sensor leads. ( →see page 19).
( f ) Loosen hex socket head setscrews (301) and pull out the preamplifier upward.
NOTE: See Section 15, "EXPLODED VIEW AND PARTS LIST, FIXED TYPE" on pages 41 and 42.
CAUTION
① Do not force the bluff body because it contains sensor (201) installed and accessible
through capillary slots.
② Sharp edges of the bluff body play an important role for maintaining meter accuracy.
Exercise care not to damage them.
Following inspection, install in place. Align the locating pin on the probe body (101) with
the mating pin slot in bluff body (105) at this time.
NOTE: With explosionproof spec., separate lcok (304) before removing the cover.
34
Page 35
D-582-3-E
② Separate fitting boss (104) in the following manner:
(a) Remove C-shaped stop ring (209), O-ring retainer (208) and O-ring (207). (b) Taking off four hex
socket head setscrews (109B), remove fitting boss (104).
③ Sensor Removal
Taking off four hex socket head bolts (108) in this state, the sensor (201) can now be separated.
Do not force but pull it carefully until out.
(3) Sensor Installation
Reverse the order of steps (2) above, observing the following instructions:
CAUTION
① When installing the sensor, make sure that the O-ring (204) is in place. If this O-ring is
distorted or otherwise damaged, replace with a new one.
② Align the locating pin of sensor (201) with the pin slot of shaft assembly (102) and bluff
body (105). You cannot disassemble sensor (201).
CAUTION
Sensor (201) cannot be disassembled. If found to be defective, it should be replaced as an
assembly.
