Welcome

We are pleased that you have purchased a Sage Metering Mass Flow Meter for your requirement. We hope that you are satisﬁed with the performance, operation and design of our highly precise, NIST traceable Thermal Gas Mass Flow Meter.

age Metering is your source for monitoring, measuring and controlling the gas mass ﬂow in your industrial process, building management system or environmental appli cation. Our high performance, NIST Traceable,Thermal Mass Flow Meters will help increase productivity, reduce energy costs, maximize product yields, and/ or help reduce environmental insult. Sage provides high quality In-Line and Insertion Thermal Mass Flow Meters for a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and environmental monitoring needs, including carbon credit veriﬁcation for Greenhouse Gas reduction.

Sage Meters measure mass ﬂow directly — there is no need for ancillary instrumentation such as temperature or pressure transmitters. Furthermore, our instruments have exceptional signal sensitivity, have no moving parts, require little if any maintenance, have negligible pressure drop and have a turndown up to 100 to 1, and resolve as much as 1000 to 1. Sage Flow Meters can measure the mass ﬂow rate and consumption of air, oxygen, natural gas, nitrogen, digester gas, biogas, ﬂare gas, hydrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and other gases and gas mixes.

Sage Prime is the latest addition to our family of high performance Thermal Mass Flow Meters. It features a bright graphical display of Flow Rate,Total and Temperature, robust industrial enclosure, and easy to access power and output terminals. Sage Prime has a dual-compartment windowed enclosure featuring a very high contrast photo-emissive OLED display with a new photocell activated Screen Saver. The rear compartment, which is separated from the electronics, has large, easy to access and well marked ter minals, for ease of customer wiring. It is powered by 24 VDC (12 VDC optional, or 115/230 VAC). The power dissipation is under 2.5 watts (e.g. under 100 ma at 24 VDC for the DC version.)

Please let us know if we can assist you in any way with your Sage Meter, or if you have any questions about its installation, operation, or features. Simply phone us at 866-677-SAGE (7243), or visit our website at www.sagemetering.com to contact a factory representative in your area.

GETTING STARTED

O p e r a t i o n s a n d I n s t r u c t i o n M a n u a l

UNPACKING YOUR SAGE METER

Your Sage ﬂow meter is a sensitive, yet rugged,

recision built electronic instrument. Upon delivery,

care should be taken when opening the shipping

container and removing your meter. The meter

should be inspected for any damage that may have

occurred during transit. If damage is found, please

contact the carrier immediately to place a claim for

damaged goods. The contents of the container

should be checked against the packing list for any

discrepancies. If there are any questions as to the

contents or conﬁguration of the equipment includ-

ing calibration ranges, or, mounting hardware,

contact Sage Metering as soon as possible. Please

save shipping container and packaging materials

(including PVC tube probe protector on Sage

Insertion Flow Meters) in case the unit needs to

be returned for any reason.

MAINTENANCE

Sage thermal mass ﬂow meters essentially require

little or no maintenance. While the sensing element

is somewhat resistant to dirt and particulate build

up, it may become necessary to clean it from time to

time if mounted in extremely dirty environments.

NOTE: ALWAYS REMOVE THE POWER PRIOR TO

ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE. A detergent or

appropriate non-corrosive solvent for removing the

buildup may be required. A soft brush can be used

to gently clean the sensing element’s surface, using

caution to avoid damaging the sensor elements

(the RTDs). If any disassembly is necessary, contact

Sage Metering, Inc. for instructions. In general, it is

recommended that your Sage Thermal Mass Flow

Meter be returned to the factory if cleaning,

repair, or recalibration is needed. This is usually

the most cost-effective and reliable alternative.

CALIBRATION

Sage Prime has continuous diag nostics. The raw

cali bration milliwats (mw) is always displayed in the

upper left hand corner of the meter's display. At any

time, you can check this reading at a “no ﬂow” con-

dition and compare the reading to the original re -

ported “zero ﬂow” value noted on the last few lines

of your meter’s Certiﬁcate of Conformance or the

ﬂow meter’s data tag. This diagnostic procedure not

only checks the sensor performance and the “live

zero” calibration point, but it veriﬁes that the sensor

is clean. It essentially provides a means to validate

the meter’s performance, veriﬁes that there is no shift

or drift, and eliminates the need for annual factory

calibrations. This simple ﬁeld diagnostic procedure

also veriﬁes that the sensor is free from contamina-

tion, even without inspection. See “In-Situ

Calibration Check” on page 46.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING

■

Check the Certiﬁcate of Conformance included

with your Sage Thermal Mass Flow Meter for

system pressure, temperature, gas composition,

power input, and signal output.

■

It is recommended that the ﬂow meter be inserted in

a location of maximum straight run. It is suggested

that there be a minimum of 15 pipe diameters of

straight run upstream, and 5 diameters downstream,

depending on the conditions. See chart on page 11.

Note, obstructions such as valves, blowers, expand -

ers and PVC and HDPE pipes will require addition-

al straight run (contact factory for assistance).

■

Check the orientation1: Standard calibration ﬂow

direction is left to right when facing the ﬂow

meter. Gas ﬂow direction is marked with an arrow

on in-line ﬂow meters; UPSTREAM is marked on

insertion probes.

■

Do not rotate probe1, or errors may occur. If enclo-

sure is facing incorrectly, rotate the enclosure 180˚,

but do not rotate the probe. The UPSTREAM mark

still needs to be facing Upstream.

■

Hook up the system per the wiring diagram provid-

ed with your Sage ﬂow meter (see inside of rear

compartment cover for terminal designation).

Double check that wiring for the proper power and

signal connections are correct.

■

Check that all plumbing and electrical hook-ups

are in accordance with OSHA, NFPA, and all other

safety requirements.

■

For Remote Style Meters (SRP) be sure the Remote

Electronics is matched with the Transmitter’s

Junction Box and its attached Probe or Flow

Body. There will be Metal Serial Number Tags

on both the Transmitter as well as the Remote

Electronics enclosure. Do not mismatch the seri-

al numbers of the Remote Electronics and the

Junction Box, or calibration errors will occur.

LOCATING PROPER WIRING DIAGRAM

1) Look at the sticker on your meter. The ﬁrst three

digits describe the basic model that you have.

Refer to the appropriate page numbers below for

your wiring diagram

2) SIP: see page 19

3) SRP: see page 22 for input/output terminals;

see page 24 (Junction Box Wiring Terminals

for Remote Style Meters)

WIRING

Follow the instructions below to remove the rear cap

for wiring. CAUTION: Do not open the display side!

Before removing the rear cap to access the wiring

terminals it is essential to completely remove the

screw assembly on the side of the rear enclosure to

free up the threads so the lid can be removed. Note

there is a Red Tag attached to the screw assembly

stating “Remove Screw Before Opening Lid”.

After the wiring is completed (see pages 18 to 23

for wiring details), please close the lid, and reinsert

the screw assembly in the same manner.

Note: See “Approvals” page for Hazardous Location

Approvals (DC Powered Meters Only)

REV. 16-SIP/SRP

1 The Integral Style of Sage Prime Insertion Meters have the Display oriented as shown on page 14.

If an alternate orientation of the display, or enclosure is required (ie. installation into a vertical pipe), please furnish a sketch or drawing, and specify “ROTATE” on purchase order. However, if it is later determined that the enclosure needs to be rotated, that procedure can be done in the ﬁeld. However, if the display needs to be rotated, then the meter must be sent back to Sage to be modiﬁed. Do not attempt this in the ﬁeld. An RMA will be required prior to returning the meter (see page 51). The procedure for rotating the enclosure is as follows: Clamp the enclosure of the Prime in a vise with the probe pointing up to the ceiling. Then take a 7/8 wrench and turn the probe to the proper orientation. Lock the probe into its new position with a set screw (not provided).

FLOW PROFILE AND INSTALLATION

CONSIDERATIONS

Insertion Flow Meters, although generally easier to

install that In-Line Flow Meters, require proper

installation, and a well developed ﬂow proﬁle, in

order to perform properly. Please refer to the section

on the following pages titled PROBE INSERTION

GUIDELINE DRAWING (page 14) and INSTALLA-

TION DEPTH CHART (page 15).

SAGE VALVE ASSEMBLY OPERATION

Valve assemblies (SVA05 and SVA05LP) are an op -

tional mounting hardware for Insertion Style Flow

Meters (see pages 38 and 39). They allow the removal

of insertion-style meters for service, cleaning, recali -

bration, relocation, etc. without the need to “shut-

down” your process. The probe insertion depth is

adjustable to permit sensor to be located at center

to optimize measurement accuracy. (Refer to PROBE

IN SERTION GUIDE LINE DRAWING and CHART, pages

14 & 15.) The ball valve will seal off leaks of the

process gas at the point of insertion after the probe

assembly has been removed. The assembly includes

a valve, threadolet, compression ﬁtting with Teﬂon

ferrule, a cable restraint, and two collar clamps.

A threaded half coupling (3/4" FNPT) properly sized

to accom modate the isolation valve retractor assem-

bly must be ﬁtted to the pipe/duct to which the

insertion probe will be inserted. Avoid T-Fittings

since they will disturb the ﬂow proﬁle, and effec-

tively reduce the measurement area. Direct thread-

ing together (or with necessary bushings) of the

retractor assembly may be required. In other cases,

the threadolet must be welded in place and a clear-

ance hole must be drilled through the pipe/ duct to

accept the probe assembly. If the pipe/duct is under

pressure during installation, a hot tap drill (not

available through Sage Metering) may be required.

FLOW CONDITIONING AND STRAIGHT RUN

Although a minimum of 15 pipe diameters of

upstream straight run is commonly recommended,

to absolutely assure that the ﬂow proﬁle is well

developed at the point of measurement, either use

Flow Conditioners (standard in Sage In-Line Flow

Meters, 1/2" and larger, and also available as assem-

blies for Insertion Flow Meters, see page 13), or

consider additional straight run. The Chart below

provides examples of the amount of straight run

that would virtually assure that there are no ﬂow

disturbances at the point of measurement.

COMPRESSION FITTING OPERATION

A bored through tube ﬁtting, properly sized to

accommodate an insertion probe’s particular OD,

can be provided by the user or purchased as an

option from Sage Metering (see page 38). Prior to

installation, a clearance hole to accommodate the

insertion probe assembly must be drilled in the

pipe/duct. A ﬁtting (1/2" FNPT) is then welded in

place or threaded into the half-threadolet which has

been welded to the pipe/duct. The probe insertion

depth is adjustable to permit sensor to be located at

center, to optimize measurement accuracy. (Refer to

PROBE INSERTION GUIDELINE DRAWING and

CHART, pages 14 & 15.)

Insert the probe shaft tubing into the compression ﬁtting to the position indicated in the Probe Insertion guidelines.

While holding the ﬁtting body steady, tighten the nut one and one-quar ter turns to the 9 o’clock position.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert tubing into the tube ﬁtting.

2. Make sure that the tubing is positioned properly

per the PROBE INSERTION GUIDELINE DRAW-

ING AND CHART, pages 14 & 15.

3. Due to the variations of tubing diameters, a

common starting point is desirable. Therefore,

tighten the nut until the tubing will not turn

by hand or move axially in the ﬁtting.

4. Scribe the nut at the 6 o’clock position.

5. While holding ﬁtting body steady, tighten the nut

⁄4 turns to the 9 o’clock position.

IMPORTANT The location of the probe must be exactly one pipe ID diameter (i.e., 4” in a 4” pipe; 6” in a 6” pipe, etc.) downstream of the Captive Flow Conditioning assembly. The Captive Flow Conditioners are always designed to be separated by one pipe diameter. See drawing below. The probe location must be one pipe ID diameter downstream of Flow Conditioner, or errors will occur.

PROBE INSERTION GUIDELINE DRAWING

Choose the longest straight-run section of pipe avail-

able to allow a uniform, well-developed ﬂow proﬁle.

llow for a minimum of 15 pipe diameters of straight

run upstream, and 5 diameters downstream, depend-

ing on the conditions. See chart on page 11. Note,

obstructions such as valves, blowers expanders and

PVC and HDPE pipes will require additional straight

run (contact factory for assistance). Avoid, if possible,

installations immediately downstream of bends, fans,

nozzles, heaters and especially valves, or anything

else installed in the line that may cause nonuniform

ﬂow proﬁles and swirls. Otherwise signal output

errors could result, unless signiﬁcantly more straight

run is provided, or in the absence of sufﬁcient straight

run, Flow Conditioners (page 13) are in stalled (con-

tact Sage for assistance if needed). Refer to page 13 to

see the beneﬁts of incorporating Flow Conditioners.

Insertion styles are available through Sage Metering,

Inc. with a standard 1/2" OD probe support assem-

bly; 3/4" is also available. Stan dard probe lengths

are 6", 12", 15", 18", 24", 30", 36" and 48". A common

method of mounting the probe assembly through

a pipe wall or duct (if ambient air) is with a compres-

sion ﬁtting (STCF05). A Sage valve assembly (SVA05)

is useful and highly recommended for

pressurized applications or other gases,

such as Natural Gas. Flange mounting

is optionally available.

Sage insertion style ﬂow meters can be assembled

and calibrated for use in virtually any size pipe or

duct (as small as 1”). Sage insertion ﬂow meters

include a probe assembly that supports the sensing

element (a self-heated ﬂow sensor and a tempera -

ture/reference sensor); a sensor drive circuit; micro -

pro cessor meter board, and trans mitter enclosure.

The probe assembly must be inserted into the correct

position in the pro cess gas ﬂow conduit to allow the

gas to ﬂow through the sensor “window” across the

sensor element. The “sensing point” or active part of

the sensor (0.5" from the end of the probe) should be

positioned as per the drawing below and the

Installation Depth Chart on page 15.

Installation Depth

The center of the pipe (assuming a well developed

turbulent ﬂow proﬁle) is fairly ﬂat, and easy to

locate. See “Installation Depth Chart” on next page

to determine proper insertion depth.

CONFIGURATION FOR UTILIZING FOUR (4) SAGE INSERTION MASS FLOW METERS FOR LARGE ROUND PIPES OR DUCTS LARGER THAN 36" TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS OF VARYING FLOW PROFILES (It is recommended that Factory be contacted to assist with applications of this nature)

The outputs of the four meters will be averaged by customer’s PLC or other method to improve overall accuracy in measuring the ﬂow rate. (For medium sized round pipes [18" to 36"], two meters, on the opposite side of the same diameter, may be sufﬁcient [insert parallel to an upstream 90 degree bend for optimal beneﬁt.]) Note, in this conﬁguration, each sensor needs to be averaged.

IN-LINE FLOW METERS

In-line mounting styles are available through Sage

Metering, Inc. in sizes from 1/4" pipe through 4"

pipe. Threaded male NPT ends are standard up to

2-1/2"; ANSI 150lb ﬂanged ends are recommended

for 3" and 4" models. Contact the factory if optional

end mounting styles are required. Pipe sizes in excess

of 4" require the insertion style mass ﬂow meter.

The in-line style ﬂow meter assembly ﬂow section is

typically speciﬁed to match the user’s ﬂow conduit

and is plumbed directly in the ﬂow line by thread-

LENGTH “L” SAME AS NON-FLANGED METER (See table on page 27. For example, 1"x8" ﬂow body has an 8" length. The length will be the same whether an NPT ﬂow body, or whether ﬂanged. If a ﬂanged ﬂow body, the 8" dimension will be a Face-to-Face dimension.)

FLOW CONDITIONING SCREENS FOR IN-LINE FLOW BODIES 1/2" AND UP

Screens shown with NPT ﬁtting.

1 Note, Flow conditioning is also available for Insertion Meter applications (see page 13)

ing, ﬂanging, welding, etc. DO NOT USE REDUCERS.

It includes the sensing element (a self-heated ﬂow

sensor and a temperature/reference sensor) mounted

directly in the speciﬁed ﬂow section for exposure to

the process gas; a sensor drive circuit; microprocessor

meter board, and transmitter enclosure.

All in-line Flow Meters, 1/2" and up have built-in

Flow Conditioners. See Table (page 10) for Upstream

Straight run requirements. Note, the 1/4" and 3/8"

do not have Flow Conditioners and thus require

more straight run.

*B4 and B5 JUMPER Remove jumper for Externally Sourced 4-20 mA. In this mode, user supplies 9-27 Volts to externally power the 4-20 mA loop, and the 4-20 mA loop becomes optically isolated.

1 Specify the Sage Prime PLUS option in order to have the Modbus Ground (Terminal C1, COM) isolated

from the 24 VDC Sage Power Supply Ground (Terminal B6). All other features of Prime PLUS are identical to the standard Sage Prime, except other voltage available. (See footnote 8)

2 It is important to connect the Ground when using Modbus communications, or ground loop problems

may develop. Improper wiring can also damage internal circuitry

3 Note, if customer externally powers the 4-20 mA by removing the jumper, the Pulse voltage output

is also effected: The voltage output of the Pulse will follow the customer power (i.e. 24 VDC external power will result in a 24 VDC Pulse [maximum of 50 mA]; 12 VDC external power will result in a 12 VDC Pulse)

4 Pulse width 250 msec default (adjustable with Addresser software) 5 Using Sage Addresser, a Low Flow Cutoff (LFC), commonly referred to as Min Cutoff or Zero Cutoff

can be entered into the FLOW MIN Functions. In Versions 1.82 or higher, the Low Flow Cutoff and the 4-20 mA Scaling are independent of each other. For example: A Low Flow Cutoff (LFC) of 10 SCFM on a Meter with a Full Scale of 100 SCFM will report 0 on the Display and 4 mA on the output. The output will remain at 4 mA until the LFC is exceeded: (ie: 25 SCFM=8 mA). Thus the 4 mA will always be zero based

**Note, Flow Meter is supplied with a 10K (1/2 watt) metal ﬁlm resistor (Resistive Jumper) connected across Terminals C4 and C6. For externally powered operation, in addition to removing B4 & B5 Jumpers, it is necessary to connect C4 Resistive Jumper to Terminal B3 instead of C6. Note, B3 must be connected to the External Sources common in order to enable the optically isolated pulse output. In this mode, Pulse Output is optically isolated. Pulsed Output voltage will depend on customer source voltage. Use Sage Resistive Jumper only!
