3.1 Piping Design Precautions
IMPORTANT
Design piping correctly, referring to the following
to prevent damage to owtubes and to assure
accurate measuring.
(1) Location
IMPORTANT
Install the owmeter in a location where it is
not exposed to direct sunlight. The minimum
ambient temperature is limited by the minimum
uid temperature of the owtube (the lining). For
more information, refer to Chapter 6 “OUTLINE”.
The owmeter may be used in an ambient
humidity where the relative humidity ranges from
0 to 100%. However, avoid long-term continuous

*2: A straight run may not be required on the
downstream side of the owmeter. However,
if a downstream valve or other tting causes
irregularity or deviation in ows, provide a
straight run of 2D to 3D on the downstream
side.
*3: The valves shall be mounted on the
downstream side so that deviated ows do not
occur in the owtube and to avoid startup from
an empty condition.
(4) Maintaining Stable Fluid Conductivity
2D
2D
F0301.ai
(2) Noise Avoidance
IMPORTANT
The owmeter should be installed away from
electrical motors, transformers, and other power
sources in order to avoid interference with
measurement.
(3) Required Lengths of Straight Runss
To maintain accurate measurement, see JIS B7554
“Electro Magnetic Flowmeters” which explains the
requirements for upstream piping conditions of
magnetic owmeters.
Based on JIS B7554 “Electro Magnetic Flowmeters”
and our piping condition test data, we recommend
the piping conditions as shown in the following
IMPORTANT
Do not install the owmeter where uid
conductivity tends to become uneven. If
chemicals are fed near the upstream side of a
magnetic owmeter, they may affect the ow
rate’s indications. To avoid this situation, it is
recommended that the chemical feed ports be
located on the downstream side of the owmeter.
If it is unavoidable that chemicals must be fed on
the upstream side, provide a sufcient length of
straight run (approximately 50D) to ensure the
proper mixture of uids.

(5) Precautions for Use of Liquid Sealing
Compounds
IMPORTANT
Care must be taken in using liquid sealing
compounds on the piping, as it may have a
negative inuence on the ow indications by
owing out and covering the surfaces of an
electrode or grounding ring. In particular, care
must be taken if a liquid sealing compound is
used in the case of vertical piping.
(6) Service Area
Select locations where there is adequate space to
service installing, wiring, overhauling, etc
(7) Bypass Line
It is recommended to install a bypass line to facilitate
maintenance and zero adjustment.
Block valve
(9) Mounting Positions
• Pipes must be fully lled with liquids.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that pipes remain fully lled at
all times, otherwise ow rate indications may
be affected and measurement errors may be
caused.
Piping shall be designed so as to maintain the
interior of the owtube lled with uids.
Vertical mounting is effective in such cases as
when uids tend to separate or solid matter may be
precipitated. When employing vertical mounting,
direct the uids from the bottom to the top to ensure
that the pipes remain fully lled.

(8) Supporting the Flowmeter
CAUTION
Do not secure the owmeter separately to
prevent the vibrations, shocks, and expansion
and contraction forces of the piping from
affecting it. Fix the pipeline or its anges rst,
then let them support the owmeter.
For vertical, mounting, make sure that the weight
of piping does not weigh on the owmeter.
To release the load from tightening the owmeter
to the pipeline, set a expansive pipe in the
downstream side.
• Avoid air bubbles.
IMPORTANT
If air bubbles enter a measurement pipe,
ow rate indications may be affected and
measurement errors may be caused.
In cases where uids contain air bubbles, piping must
be designed to prevent them from accumulating in
the measurement pipe of a owtube.
If a valve exists near the owmeter, try to mount the
owmeter on the valve’s upstream side in order to
prevent a possible reduction of pressure inside the
pipe, thereby avoiding the possibility of air bubbles.

(2) Avoiding Shocks from Impact
CAUTION
Care should be taken not to drop the owmeter
or expose it to excessive shock. In particular, be
careful not to subject the ange surface to shock.
This may lead to liner damage which will result in
inaccurate readings.
WARNING
The magnetic owmeter is a heavy instrument.
Be careful that no damage is caused to
personnel through accidentally dropping it, or
by exerting excessive force on the magnetic
owmeter. When moving the magnetic
owmeter, always use a trolley, forklift, or crane
and have at least two people carry it.
3.2.1 General Precautions
(1) Precaution during Transportation
The magnetic owmeter is packed tightly. When
it is unpacked, pay attention to prevent damaging
the owmeter. To prevent accidents while it is being
transported to the installing location, transport it to
the site in its original packing.
CAUTION
When lifting the owtube, use the lifting rings
(eye bolts or eye plates) as in Figure 3.2.1.
Never lift it using a bar passed through the
owtube as this damages the liner severely.
(3) Flange Protection Covers
IMPORTANT
Keep the protective covering (i.e. the corrugated
cardboard or other cushioning material) in place
over the ange except when mounting the
owmeter to the pipe.
(4) Terminal Box Cover
IMPORTANT
As it is possible that the insulation will
deteriorate, do not remove the wrapping of the
terminal box nor open the terminal box cover
until it is time to wire it.
(5) Long-term Non-use
IMPORTANT
It is not desirable to leave the owmeter unused
for a long term after installation. If this situation
is unavoidable, take care of the owmeter by
observing the following.
Conrm that the terminal box screw and wiring ports
are well sealed. Equip the conduit piping with drain
plugs or waterproof glands to prevent moisture or
water from penetrating into the owmeter through
the conduit.
• Regularinspections
Inspect the sealing conditions as mentioned above,
and the inside of the terminal box at least once a
year. Also, due to rain, etc. when it is suspected
that water may have penetrated into the inside
owmeter perform supplementary inspections.
3.2.2 FlowmeterPiping
CAUTION
Misaligned or slanted piping can lead to leakage
and damage to the anges.
(1) Correct any misaligned or slanted piping, and
any gaps that may exist between mounting
anges before installing the owmeter (refer to
Figure 3.2.2).
3.3 MountingProcedures
CAUTION
When attaching optional grounding rings to
the owtube with lining material natural hard
rubber or uorocarbon PTFE, gaskets must be
placed between each grounding ring and the
owtube. Fluid leakage will happen without these
gaskets. These gaskets are to be supplied by
customer. Do not forget those gaskets also when
ordering and attaching the grounding rings later
additionally.
NOTE
The tightening torque value varies depending
on the type of lining and gasket as shown in the
tables in this section.
IMPORTANT
Use bolts and nuts in compliance with the ange
ratings. When choosing the gaskets, be sure to
choose sheet gaskets designed to t for ange
standard.

Piping
(2) Inside a newly installed pipeline, there may
be some foreign substances such as residue
from welding or wood chips. Remove them
by ushing the piping before mounting the
owmeter. This prevents the lining from
being damaged, as well as the occurrence
of erroneous measured signals resulting
from foreign substances passing through the
owtube during measurement.
Misaligned
F0308.ai
(1) MountingDirection
Mount the owmeter so that the ow direction of
the uid to be measured is in line with the direction
of the arrow mark on the owmeter. It may be
especially difcult to move large size owtubes after
bringing them into the pit. Check directions before
bringing.
IMPORTANT
If it is impossible to match the direction of
the arrow mark, the direction of the electrical
connection can be changed. Refer to Section 5.1
to do this properly.

4.1 Wiring the Remote Flowtube
This section describes the wiring of the remote
owtube only. For information relating to the wiring
of the converter, refer to the user’s manual of the
AXFA11 Magnetic Flowmeter Remote Converter
(IM 01E20C01-01E).
WARNING
The wiring of the magnetic owmeter must
be performed by expert engineer or skilled
personnel. No operator shall be permitted to
perform procedures relating to wiring.
CAUTION
Once all wiring is complete, check the
connections before applying power to the
instrument. Improper arrangements or wiring
may cause a unit malfunction or damage.
4.1.1 Wiring Precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautions when
wiring:
CAUTION
• In cases where the ambient temperature
exceeds 50°C (122°F), use external heatresistant wiring with a maximum allowable
temperature of 70°C (158°F) or above.
• Do not connect cables outdoors in wet
weather in order to prevent damage from
condensation and to protect the insulation,
e.g. inside the terminal box of the owtube.
• Do not splice the cable between the owtube
terminal and the converter if it is too short.
Replace the short cable with a cable that is the
appropriate length.
• All the cable ends must be provided with
round crimp-on terminals and be securely
wired.
• The signal cables must be routed in separate
steel conduit tubes 16 (JIS C 8305) or exible
conduit tubes 15 (JIS C 8309).
• Keep conduits or exible tubes watertight
using sealing tape.
• Ground the remote owtube and the converter
separately.
• Cover each shield of the signal cable with vinyl
tube or vinyl tape to avoid contact between
two shields or between a shield and a case.
• When waterproof glands or union equipped
waterproof glands are used, avoid tightening
the glands with an excessive torque.
• Be sure to turn the power off before opening
the terminal box cover.
• Before turning the power on, tighten the
terminal box cover securely.
• When opening the terminal box cover, use a
hexagonal wrench (nominal size 3 mm). For
handling the locking screw, refer to Figure
4.1.7.
• Be sure to lock the cover using a hexagonal
wrench (nominal size 3 mm) after installing the
cover. For handling the locking screw, refer to
Figure 4.1.11.
• When submersible type or optional code DHC
is selected, waterproof glands, signal and
excitation cables are attached.
In order to preserve the effectiveness of
waterproof features, the terminal box cover
and waterproof glands must not be detached
from owmeter.
IMPORTANT
Prepare the signal cable and the excitation cable
almost the same length. It is recommended to lay
them together closely.

F0401.ai
Figure 4.1.1 Dedicated Signal Cable AXFC
The ow signal is transmitted via this dedicated
cable. The cable is constructed with double
shielding over the two conductors, and heatresistant vinyl is used for the outer jacket material.
Finished diameter: 10.5 mm (0.413”)
Maximum length:
Combination with the AXFA11 converter:
200 m (660 ft)
Maximum temperature: 80°C (176°F)
• As crimp terminals A, B, SA, SB and C have
their own electrical potentials, securely
insulate them so as not to come in contact
with one another.
• To prevent a shield from coming in contact
with another shield or the case, cover each
shield with a vinyl tube or wrap it in vinyl tape.
NOTE
Conductors A and B carry the signal from the
electrodes, and C is at the potential of the liquid
(signal common). Shields SA and SB are kept at
the same potentials as the individual electrodes
(these are actively driven shields.) This is done
to reduce the effect of the distributed capacitance
of the cable at long cable length. Note that, since
the signals from the individual electrodes are
impedance converted inside the converter, errors
will result if they come in contact with any other
component. Great care must be taken in the
cable nish treatment.
4-2
IMPORTANT
If the cable is longer than required, cut off
any extra length rather than coiling it up, and
terminate the conductors as shown in Figure
4.1.2. Avoid using junction terminal boards to
extend the cable length, as this will interrupt the
shielding.

crimp terminal and cable.
• Use crimp tools that are appropriate for the
diameter of the cable to be connected.
4.1.3 Wiring Ports
This instrument is of watertight construction as
stipulated in JIS C0920. It is shipped with a wiring
bracket (waterproof gland or waterproof gland
with union), only in cases where an optional
specication is selected for the wiring port.
When submersible type or option code DHC is
selected, waterproof glands and a 30-meter (or
customer designated) length cable are attached
with resin lled in the terminal box. In this case,
wiring at this terminal box is not necessary and do
not open it.
IMPORTANT
The wiring port is sealed with a cap (not waterproof). Do not remove the cap from the wiring
port until wiring a cable. If waterproof property is
necessary, please use waterproof glands.
(1) When waterproof property is unnecessary
(When there are no particular optional
specications)
The wiring port is sealed with a cap (not waterproof) that must be removed before wiring. When
wiring, handle the wiring with proper procedures for
necessary protection.
(2) When waterproof property is necessary
(Wiring using waterproof glands)
IMPORTANT
To prevent water or condensation from entering
the terminal box, waterproof glands are
recommended. Do not over-tighten the glands
or damage to the cables may result. Tightness of
the gland can be checked by conrming that the
cable is held rmly in place.
For working on the electric wire tubes or the exible
tubes (G1/2), remove the waterproof gland and
attach them directly to the wiring port.
Be sure to use the washers and gaskets as shown
in the drawings. Check and see that the cable is
rmly xed realizing waterproofness.

CAUTION
Be sure to connect the protective grounding of
the remote owtube with a cable of 2 mm2 or
larger cross section in order to avoid electrical
shock to the operators and maintenance
engineers and to prevent the inuence of
external noise.
Connect the grounding wire to the mark.
The grounding should satisfy Class D
requirements (ground resistance, 100 Ω or less).
IMPORTANT
Improper grounding can have an adverse affect
on the ow measurement. Ensure that the
instrument is properly grounded.
The electromotive force of the magnetic owmeter
is minute and it is easy to be affected by noise. And
also that reference electric potential is the same
as the measuring uid potential. Therefore, the
reference electric potential (terminal potential) of
the owtube and the converter also need to be the
same as the measuring uid. Moreover, that the
potential must be the same with ground.
Be sure to ground according to Figure 4.1.10.
Refer to Figure 3.3.5 or 3.3.6 for wiring to the
anges of remote owtube when optional grounding
rings are not used.
Install the cover to the owtube by turning it in the
direction of the arrow as shown below. Tighten
the cover locking screw counterclockwise using a

Set the parameters correctly.
Execute zero adjustment when the
flowtube is filled completely with fluid and
when the fluid is not moving.
● Change the mounting position or piping
so that the flowtube is
completely filled with fluid.
● Switch to vertical mounting.
Install a defoaming device on the
flowtube’s upstream side.
Completely ground the converter and
flowtube (Refer to the section on
grounding in the relevant user's manual.)
Fully terminate the signal cable using
PVC tubing or insulation tape, thus
insuring that conductors, inner shields,
and outer shields do not make contact
with each other or with the case.
Use within the specified conductivity range.
● Remove scales. Especially clean the
electrodes and their vincinity.
● Use a soft brush or cloth to perform
scale removal, and make sure that the
lining is not damaged.
● If any valve located immediately
upstream of the flowtube is used in a
half-open condition, the indication may
be affected by turbulence in the flow.
● Relocate the valve to the downstream
side.
● If the valve must be located on the
upstream side, ensure that the minimum
distance to the flowmeter is 10 times
the flow-tube diameter; alternatively,
use the valve fully open.
