I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
This manual provides installation, parameter setting, calibration, maintenance and troubleshooting instructions for the YEWFLO Vortex flowmeter. Also included are standard specifications, model code definitions, dimensional drawings and a parts lists.
All YEWFLO’ s are shipped pre-configured for your application. Therefore, if you included correct process conditions with your order, no electronic setup or parameter setting is required. For piping and wiring connections, refer to the Installation section.
If your process conditions have changed since your order was placed, please refer to the ‘ QUICK START’ section which is designed to simplify configuration of the YEWFLO software parameters. Please refer to the index for immediate access to a specific procedure or the glossary located at the end of this manual for further information on a specific term.
If you have any questions concerning the YEWFLO you received, please contact your local Yokogawa Industrial Automation Representative or our headquarters office in Newnan, GA at 770-254-0400.
If you have technical questions regarding the installation, operation, setup or application of a YEWFLO, please contact our Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 800-524-SERV.
Yokogawa has manufactured this instrument according to rigorous ISO 9000 quality standards. To ensure quality performance we recommend referencing our YEWFLO sizing program to determine the level at which your application should be run as well as a straight meter run of 20 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream. In addition to these suggestions, please follow the instructions in this manual carefully.
We are not responsible for any instrument’ s performance, if that instrument has not been properly applied or installed in accordance with this manual, nor can we be responsible for the performance of any instrument which has been modified or repaired by an unauthorized service center.
Note: Existing YEWFLO Style C vortex flowmeters may be upgraded to provide the features and benefits
of the New microprocessor-based Style "E" YEWFLO.
1.2 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
1.2.1 Vortex shedding
How many of you have seen a flag flapping in the breeze on a windy day? Everybody has. How many of you have noticed that the flag flaps faster as the wind blows faster? Few haven’ t. When you see a flag flapping in the breeze, you are witnessing the same phenomenon that makes a vortex flowmeter work. The flapping frequency is proportional to the velocity of the wind, and it’ s linear! The flapping is caused by a vortex alternately being created on either side of the flag, and moving downstream with the wind. The vortex is a swirl of low pressure, like a tornado, that pulls the flag in the direction of the vortex. The passing of alternating vortices down the length of the flag causes it to flap. The faster the wind blows, the faster these vortices are created, and the faster the flag flaps. Frequency is proportional to velocity .
IM 1F2B4-01-YIA

INTRODUCTION
The flapping flag is a familiar example of vortex shedding that everyone should be comfortable with. Here’ s how it’ s used in a vortex flowmeter. A non-streamlined part (bluff body) is inserted in the flow stream, this obstruction in the pipe causes vortices to be alternately created (shed). We call this part the ‘ shedder bar’ . The shedder bar in a YEWFLO performs two functions, it creates the vortices, and with the addition of our piezoelectric crystals senses them too. The crystals generate an alternating voltage waveform whose frequency is proportional to fluid velocity. The rest of the magic is taken care of in the electronics.
Figure 1.2.1: Karman Vortices
1.2.2 K-factor
The most important fact about vortex shedding is that once the physical geometry, (pipe I.D., shedder bar width, etc.), are fixed, the frequency vs. flowrate (K-factor (pulse/gallon)) is unaffected by changes in viscosity, density or pressure over the operating range of the specific application. To determine the operating range use the YEWFLO Sizing program. On the other hand, an orifice plate is directly affected by changes in any of these parameters. There is a very small temperature effect due to expansion or contraction of the shedder bar width, which is easily compensated. Therefore, the K­factor created in our flow stand (all YEWFLOs are wet flow calibrated) on water, is accurate for gas too! Not so with an orifice plate. The benefit here is simplified calculations, and fewer things that can effect accuracy .

INTRODUCTION
1.2.3 Qmin
Those of you who haven’ t used many vortex flowmeters may be wondering, ‘ Why do we need to know viscosity, density, pressure and temperature?’ . While the K-factor is unaffected by changes in viscosity, density and pressure, the velocity at which vortices begin to be created and become stable enough to measure accurately will vary. We refer to this velocity as Qmin, stated in desired flow units GPM, SCFH, etc. Here’ s an example to help you understand. Let’ s go back to the flag example. We’ ve all seen the flag flapping in the breeze; however, on some days we can feel the breeze blowing, but the flag isn’ t flapping. Why not? For the flag to flap, there must be enough breeze blowing, or energy, to lift the flag and create fully developed vortices. This is the same thing that happens in the vortex flowmeter.
The higher the fluid viscosity, the higher the velocity (more energy) required to start vortex shedding. On the other hand, the higher the density, the lower the velocity needed to start vortex shedding. In gases, viscosity and density can vary with pressure and temperature. Sounds complicated, but compared to an orifice plate it’ s quite simple. By using the YEWFLO sizing program, vortex meter selection is simple. Simply enter the process conditions, the program will prompt you for them, and presto, a performance table for all meter sizes is generated. This performance table will help you select the best YEWFLO for the application.
1.2.4 Uniquely vortex
Vortex shedding flowmeters measure flow digitally. This means, amplitude of the vortex signal is unimportant. As long as the flow is above the Qmin threshold, only the presence or absence of a vortex is important. Just like digital electronics, as long as the voltage is above or below a threshold value, it is either on or off. Digital flow measurement means no zero drift or span shift . Orifice plate flowmeters, for example, cannot make this claim, even if they are using microprocessor-based digital D/P transmitters, they still measure the small amplitude of deflection caused by differential pressure, and changes in temperature or pressure can shift zero and span.
1.2.5 Vortex frequency
The YEWFLO uses piezoelectric crystals embedded in the shedder bar . Note that they are 1) hermetically sealed, and 2) surrounded by a heavy wall thickness , to protect them from the
environment and the process. The positioning of the crystals is important. Although one crystal primarily measures flow frequency, it unfortunately picks up some pipe vibration noise. The other crystal is positioned such that it picks up primarily the pipe vibration noise. By electronically subtracting these two signals, we are able to obtain a high signal to noise ratio for the flow signal . The new Style "E" body design also improves the signal to noise ratio, by stiffening the shedder bar mounting in the measurement plane, further isolating it from pipe vibration.
1.2.6 Available outputs
After processing the digital vortex frequency as described above, what outputs can you get? You can select either 4-20 mA output or voltage pulse, digital output. Output is selected by setting jumpers on the amplifier board, and the setting the software for pulse or analog output. Analog output is two­wire, and pulse output is a three-wire connection (for details see the wiring section). The pulse output can be scaled over a range of 0-6000 Hz, down or up to maximize pulse resolution. Scaling up the frequency output can be done to improve resolution. The pulse output is also capable of driving many electromechanical totalizers directly without additional power.

QUICK START USING THE BT100/200
II. QUICK START
BT100/BT200 HANDHELD TERMINAL
Note: If you specified the correct process conditions on your order, these parameters have been preset at the
factory; therefore, there is no need to re-enter the data.
The Style E YEWFLO is a smart communicating device with microprocessor-based technology. When used with Yokogawa’ s BT100 or BT200 handheld terminal (HHT), YEWFLO can be configured to meet specific application needs. In addition, the optional local indicator/totalizer (TBL option) allows setting of various parameters.
When in the analog output mode, the HHT may be connected at any point on the instrument's 4-20 mA loop. This connection superimposes a digital signal on top of the instrument’ s 4-20 mA signal making communications completely transparent to your process signal. On the other hand, since there are no 4-20 mA wires in the pulse mode, direct connection of the HHT to the HHT PULSE and HHT COM test points on the amplifier is necessary. Once connected, flowrate and total can be read, tag numbers entered, meter size or any other parameter modified as required. Additionally, you may activate or deactivate many features of the YEWFLO as necessary to meet the requirements of your application.
The HHT will enable you to scroll through the program until you locate the parameter that you wish to change. For communication information, see “How to communicate with the YEWFLO remotely” in the maintenance section. Please refer to the appropriate HHT instruction manual for details on each HHT.
To change a parameter using the BT100, insert the removable key in the lock and turn it clockwise
to the ENABLE position. If the key is not in place or if it is in the INHIBIT position, you will receive an OPERATION ERR message on the display when you press either the I NC or DE C key or try to enter
an alphanumeric value in any parameter. If this occurs, insert the key in the lock, turn it clockwise to
the ENABLE position then press either the I N C , DE C or alphanumeric key as before.
2.1 PARAMETER SETTING IN BRAIN™ COMMUNICATIONS
The Model YF100*E Vortex flowmeter incorporates BRAIN™ communication functions. These functions enable the Vortex converter to remotely carry out the following functions by communicating with the BRAIN™ Terminal (BT100 or BT200), µXL, or Centum-XL distributed control systems.
• Setting or changing parameters required for vortex meter operation such as tag number, flow span and process conditions for example.
• Monitoring flowrate, totalized flow and self-diagnostics.
• 4-20 mA loop check (simulated output) and totalizer reset.
Note: When the pulse/analog jumpers are set for a pulse output, Remote BRAIN™ communication on the
4-20 mA wires is not available. Therefore parameters cannot be set or read remotely. For the BT100 to operate in the pulse output mode, the instrument must be connected to the test points labeled HHT
Pulse and HHT Com. This allows access to all parameters.
Note: Only the position of the jumpers affects remote communication ability, the software setting of pulse or
4-20 mA has no effect.

2.2 YEWFLO SETUP
Note: If you specified the correct process conditions on your order, these parameters have been preset at the
factory; therefore, there is no need to re-enter the data.
The purpose of a Quick Start is to address only those parameters which must be set to establish the operation of a meter for this application. Follow the parameters listed below and enter the data for your particular application.
With the BT100 or BT200 properly connected to the Vortex meter begin communicating by pressing
the power button. After the power up sequence is complete, go to “ Menu B: SET 1” . The operation of
the BT100 and BT200 are slightly different. Please refer to the ‘ Basic Handheld Terminal Operation’ if you are unfamiliar with how to move through the menus and parameters. The following flow chart identifies only the parameters to be set, you may have to skip several parameters or menus to get to the parameters shown below. Be sure to enter all values and selections shown below or they will
not be saved. If you make a typing error, use the CL R key to clear and re-enter.

When specified, the model YF100*E vortex flowmeter can be provided with HART™ communication functions. (To determine if this field communication protocol has been incorporated in your instrument, confirm the “HART” suffix is a part of the YEWFLO model code.) These functions enable the vortex converter to remotely carry out the following by communicating with the HART communicator:
· Setting or changing parameters required for vortex meter operation such as tag number, flow span and process conditions.
· Monitoring flowrate, totalized flow and self-diagnostics.
· 4-20 mA loop check (simulated output) and totalizer rest
The HART communicator can interface with YEWFLO from the control room, via direct connection to the amplifier, or any other wiring termination point on the 4-20 mA loop. Polarity does not matter. There must be a minimum of 250 ohms between the connection and the power supply. Refer to Figure 1.3.2 on page 7 for power supply voltage requirements and load resistance.
Note1: The output jumpers on the amplifier must be set to the analog position to communicate. Only the
position of the jumpers affects remote communication ability, the software setting of pulse or 4-20 mA has no effect.
Note2: When Yewflo is supplied with the HART option, the TBL digital display/local operator interface
cannot be used for parameter setting and configuration. Only two parameters are supported by the TBL:
Parameter E01: Total reset Parameter E02: Display Select
The amplifier has been pre-configured at the factory, so no setup should be required prior to installation. If your process conditions have changed and reprogramming is required, the menu/ parameter configuration list for YEWFLO/HART can be found in Appendix B in the back of this manual. Refer to the instructions provided with your HART communicator or operation details. The QUICK START section of this manual will address only those parameters which must be set to establish the operation of the meter for a particular application. Appendix B will cross-reference the BRAIN parameters to the corresponding HART parameters.

INSTALLATION
III. INSTALLATION
Before installing your YEWFLO you will need to gather the following tools:
Wafer Style:
1. Gaskets - self-centering preferred. In no case should the I.D. of the gaskets be smaller than the I.D. of the meter.
2. Wrenches - Two of a size appropriate for the nuts supplied.
3. Screw driver - A small Phillips or flat blade type may be used to connect lead wires.
4. Sufficient wire to reach from the meter signal converter to the power source, receiving device. See the Wiring Section of this manual for wire recommendations.
5. Stud bolts, washers and nuts are supplied with the meter
Flanged Style:
1. Nuts, bolts and washers appropriate in type, size, material and quantity for the flange as specified by ANSI standards.
2. Gaskets - self-centering preferred. In no case should the I.D. of the gaskets be smaller than the I.D. of the meter.
3. Wrenches - Two of a size appropriate for the nuts supplied.
4. Screw driver - A small Phillips or flat blade type may be used to connect lead wires.
5. Sufficient wire to reach from the meter signal converter to the power source, receiving device. See the Wiring Section of this manual for wire recommendations.
3.1 PIPING REQUIREMENTS
To obtain maximum performance, the vortex flowmeter should be installed in a pipe with a straight run the same size as the nominal size of the meter. On the upstream side, the straight run depends on what is in the pipe ahead of the meter. In most installations a maximum of 20 diameters will be sufficient. The pipe on the downstream side of the meter should always be at least 5 diameters. The combination of flowmeter with upstream and downstream pipe is referred to as the metering run. Refer to the following illustrations for the minimum straight pipe for your installation. Note that in all installations the mating pipe on either side of the vortex meter must match the meter size. In many applications proper sizing may recommend using one meter size smaller than the existing pipe. When this is the case, concentric reducers should not be directly attached to the flowmeter, but installed on either end of the metering run as shown. In any case, the guidelines for orifice plate installations as published by the ASME will be safe to follow.

INSTALLATION
ACCEPTABLE
Figure 3.1.2: Reducer, expander, elbow and valve
If the meter cannot be located in the piping where the minimum straight run requirements can be met, it may be possible to install flow conditioning equipment upstream of the vortex meter and reduce the upstream piping without significantly reducing the accuracy. Contact your local representative or Yokogawa Industrial Automation for recommendations regarding flow conditioners.
3.1.1 Pipe schedule
We recommend pipe schedule 40 for ½" through 2" meter sizes. For meters larger than 2", use schedule 80 pipe or smaller. If pipe schedule other than above is used, please refer to Parameter D05 to correct errors due to mismatched pipe schedule.
3.1.2 Flow direction and orientation
Before installing the vortex meter verify the arrow on the meter body is facing the same direction as the direction of the flow. The direction of flow can be determined by the arrow on the
shedder bar or clamping plate. The meter may be installed with the converter located above, below or to the side of the piping, whatever suits the selected installation location best. Flow may be horizontal or vertical, as long as the pipe is completely full. For liquid applications vertical flow up is preferred, as this guarantees a full pipe at all times.
3.1.3 Pressure and temperature taps
If you are metering a gas where pressure and temperature compensation is required, pressure and temperature taps must be located downstream of the vortex meter. See Figure 3.1.3.
Figure 3.1.3: Pressure and Temperature taps

INSTALLATION
3.1.4 Flushing the pipe
On a new installation we recommend flushing the pipeline and removing any and all scales on the inside of the pipe before installing the vortex meter. The bypass piping should be installed around the vortex meter to facilitate pipe cleaning. When there is no bypass piping, the vortex meter should be temporarily removed and a spool piece installed in its place.
3.1.5 Gaskets
The ID of the gaskets must be equal to or larger than the ID of the meter and mating pipe. The gaskets should be the self-centering type. It is important that the gaskets not protrude into the flow stream, otherwise accuracy will be adversely affected.
Figure 3.1.4: Gasket cross section Figure 3.1.5: Typical gasket with bolt holes
3.2 INSTALLING THE VORTEX METER
Before installing the vortex meter, verify the arrow on the meter body is facing the same direction as the direction of the flow.
3.2.1 Installing the wafer style vortex meter
When installing the wafer type vortex meter it is important to align the instrument bore with the inner diameter of the adjacent piping. For meters in sizes ½" through 3", four alignment collars are supplied. These collars establish a predetermined spacing between the mounting bolts and the outside diameter of the vortex meter body. The bolts must be of the proper diameter to establish alignment. Carbon steel stud bolts and nuts are supplied as standard. Stainless steel (304) stud bolts and nuts are optional. Gaskets are supplied by the user. Check all mating flanges ensuring all weld slag is ground off and the inside surface is clean and smooth.

3.3.3 Pulse output, 3-wire type
When configured for pulse output mode, the converter requires three wires between the converter and the power supply. The required power should be between 18 and 30 VDC (allowable ripple +1.5 V or less). The pulse output (P terminal) is connected to a remote totalizer. The minimum load resistance of the pulse output loop is 10k ohms (maximum capacitance 0.22F, 0.1F for output frequency above 2.5 kHz), and interconnection wire resistance must be less than 50 ohms.

Figure 3.3.4: Wiring Connections (Pulse) - Integral Type
3.3.4 Interconnection for remote converter
When the converter is remotely mounted from the meter body, a special signal cable (YFO11) must be used. The maximum length of this cable is 65 feet (20 meters). The signal cable transmits a low level sensor signal from the remote flowmeter to the remote converter. The remote converter provides the output signals as described above. The remote signal wire connections are the same for either Analog or Pulse output units. The A, B and C terminals on the flowmeter are connected via the red, white and black wires (respectively) to the A, B and C terminals on the converter. The blue wire is connected on the converter end only to chassis ground. See figure 3.3.5.
For remote mounted converters there are two electrical conduit connections. Use the left connection, as viewed from the terminal side, for the signal wire (YFO11 cable) and the right connection for the output wiring. If the connection directions are reversed, the cover shield for the signal terminals cannot be installed.

3.4 CABLE
3.4.1 Field terminating the signal cable (YF011-0*E)
Both ends of the cable must be finished in accordance with the following instructions. The maximum cable length is 65 feet (20 meters). The YEWFLO cable is a special double-shielded cable available only from Yokogawa Industrial Automation. Proper termination is critical to ensure the meter performs as specified. Do not splice additional cable to add length. Please follow all steps completely.
If you are shortening the cable in the field, to simplify your work, cut off excess length from the flowmeter end of the cable only and re-terminate. The flowmeter end requires only three (3) termination’ s, while the converter end requires four (4).

3.5 WIRING CAUTIONS
When installing the YEWFLO in a hazardous area, particular care must be taken when wiring the meter not violate any of the requirements of the hazardous area approvals.
For explosionproof installations, the wiring must be protected by conduit and proper seals so hazardous material exposure is limited and consistent with the requirements of the approving agency (FM or CSA). If you are unsure about the requirements of the approving agency, consult their appropriate standards handbook.
3.5.1 Flameproof transmitter installation
The model YF100 vortex flowmeters and YFA11 vortex flow converters are designed to be used in hazardous areas, divisions 1 and 2. Their specific uses are outlined in “ Recommended practice for explosion-protected electrical installations in general industries (Gas Explosion Protection, 1985).” To avoid damaging the flameproof equipment, connecting bolts, wiring and pipes should be installed with care. Caution should also be used for maintenance and repair of the equipment. For further information, refer to “Operating precautions for instruments of flameproof construction conforming to technical criteria (IEC-Compatible Standards)”
3.5.2 Cautions for insulation and dielectric strength testing
Since the flowmeter has undergone insulation and dielectric tests at the factory prior to shipment, these tests are normally not required again. However, if required, follow the precautions and procedures listed below:
1) Do not apply voltages exceeding 500 VDC for insulation resistance testing or 500 VAC for dielectric strength testing.
2) Before conducting these tests, disconnect signal lines from the flowmeter terminals.
• Insulation Resistance Test Procedure
1) Short-circuit the + and – (4-20 mA output type) or +, P and – (pulse output type) terminals in the terminal box.
IM 1F2B4-01-YIA
Page 49
INSTALLATION
2) Connect a plus (+) insulation tester leadwire to these terminals and the minus (–) leadwire to ground.
3) Turn the insulation tester power ON and measure the resistance between the two leads. Do not apply the voltage for more than two minutes.
4) After completing the test, disconnect the insulation tester. The short-circuiting wire between
the + and – terminals should be connected to the ground terminal through a 100kΩ resistor
allowing discharge of any internally charged static voltage. Do not make physical contact with these terminals until the voltage is completely discharged.
• Dielectric Strength Test
1) Short-circuit the + and – (4-20 mA output type) or +, P and – (pulse output type) terminals in the terminal box.
2) Connect a dielectric strength tester between the + and – terminals and the ground terminal. (Connect the dielectric strength tester positive (+) leadwire to the short-circuited terminals and negative (–) leadwire to the transmitter ground terminal.)
3) Gradually increase the test voltage from 0 to the specified voltage.
4) When the test voltage is obtained, maintain it for one minute.
5) After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid any voltage surges.

MAINTENANCE
4.1.1 Communicating with the YEWFLO remotely
The BT100/BT200 may be connected directly to terminals on the amplifier to communicate. You must direct connect to communicate when the output jumpers are set for pulse output. With analog output
configuration, you may communicate either on the 4-20 mA loop wires or via a direct connection. The following conditions must exist in either case for communication to operate properly.
Analog output mode

4.1.6 Increasing gas and steam flow measurement accuracy by correcting for gas expansion
To achieve the highest level of performance from a vortex meter when measuring a compressible fluid, YEWFLO offers a gas expansion factor which will automatically make the necessary correction and improve gas accuracy to ±0.8% of rate over the full operating range. Without the gas expansion factor, the standard accuracy is 1.5% of rate.
The pressure drop across the shedder bar increases with increasing flowrate. As the pressure drop increases, the gas expands. Gas expansion due to the higher pressure drop will cause the vortex flowmeter
to read high. To compensate for this velocity activate the D06: EXPANSION FA parameter. To activate this
function, please follow the steps below:
NOTE: Do not activate this function for liquid flow applications. Review the setting of parameter B04:

4.1.7 Activating Reynolds number correction
What is Reynolds Number Correction?
The YEWFLO vortex meter’ s output is linear beginning at 20,000 Reynolds number, or 40,000 for sizes 6 inch and above. From 5,000 to 20,000 Reynolds number the meter’ s output is nonlinear, but repeatable. Reynolds number adjustment is a correction factor applied to the output to compensate for this non­linearity within this Reynolds number range. When activated, flowmeter accuracy is improved to 0.8% of rate throughout the flow range above 5000 Reynolds number. The correction factors listed below are automatically applied when this feature is activated.

4.1.14 Trimming the 4-20 mA analog output
The 4-20 mA analog output circuit is accurately calibrated at the factory using precision test equipment. Field adjustment of this circuit is rarely required. This adjustment should not be made when there is a suspected offset of the 4 mA point due to noise such as pipe line vibration, in this case, please refer to signal conditioning.
If you find it necessary to trim the 4 mA and/or 20 mA value, it can be adjusted digitally with the
handheld terminal. An example of when to use this adjustment would be when there is a 250Ω resistor in
the loop changing the output to 1 - 5 volts. If the resistor value is not exact, an offset error of either the 4 mA (1V) and/or 20 mA (5V) reading will occur.
To digitally trim the current output, refer to the following formula and example to determine the correct
digital trim parameter settings. The parameter H08 : Tri m 4mA is used to adjust the 4 mA (or 0%) output, and parameter H09 :Trim 20mA is used to adjust the 20 mA (or 100%)

6.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES
The Vortex shedding flowmeter is a frequency measuring device. The frequency is generated as described in the ‘ Principle of Operation’ section, and is linear and proportional to flow velocity. The electronics convert this frequency into a flow rate signal suitable for your process, providing either an Analog 4-20 mA or powered voltage pulse output.
This troubleshooting section is designed to familiarize you with the electronic circuit, and internal software operation.
Operating range:
Before proceeding, double check your process conditions and insure that the desired flow rate is within the operating range, greater than minimum (Qmin) and less than maximum (Qmax). Please reference the YEWFLO sizing program, or refer to section 1.4 Basic Sizing.
Electronic Circuit Operation:
If the operating flow rate is above Qmin, the vortex shedder with a piezoelectric sensor assembly should generate a frequency signal proportional to flow rate.
The following circuit configuration is a simplified block diagram of the actual circuit. Some details are left out for clarity.
Figure 6.2.1: Circuit Configuration
IM 1F2B4-01-YIA
Page 89
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Vortex Shedder (Sensor): The shedder bar assembly (sensor) may be integrally mounted to
the amplifier or remotely connected via a special signal cable. In any case, the piezoelectric crystal signal is amplified by a high impedance preamplifier circuit.
2. Noise Balance: The Noise Balance function maximizes the signal to noise (S/N) ratio by
mixing the two crystal input signals. One crystal measures primarily flow frequency. The other crystal measures primarily frequencies due to noise. This parameter is factory set, but on occasion may need to be adjusted after installation. By properly balancing these signals in a one time setup, the S/N ratio is maximized.
3. Gain: The balanced signal is then amplified by the gain stage. The gain is automatically set
when meter size and application (liquid or gas) are selected. This parameter should not normally be adjusted, unless directed by the factory.
4. After the gain stage the signal is split. One signal is used to measure frequency, proportional to flow velocity. The other signal is used to measure amplitude, proportional to fluid momentum, for Noise Judge calculations.
5. Band Pass and High Frequency (H.F.) Filter: The frequency signal is filtered by both a Band Pass filter and a High Frequency Filter. Filter settings are automatically set when meter size and application are selected.
6. The output of the filter stage may be measured by a voltmeter or viewed with an Oscilloscope at the TP2 and Com2 test points.
7. Trigger Level Adjustment (TLA): The filtered waveform is then converted to a square wave by comparing its amplitude to the Trigger Level Adjustment (TLA) setting. The resulting square wave may be viewed at the P and Com2 test points. The frequency of this square wave is directly proportional to velocity.
8. The flow rate frequency is then input to the CPU for further calculation.
9. Noise Judge circuit: Simultaneous to steps 5 through 8, the Noise Judge circuit measures the average signal amplitude.
10. The vortex signal is converted from an AC voltage to a DC voltage using a simple rectification circuit. The Noise Judge circuit then outputs a frequency proportional to signal amplitude.
11. The Noise Judge frequency is then input to the CPU for further calculation.
12. CPU input: The CPU then uses the frequency inputs to compute actual flow rate, and perform Noise Judge signal discrimination.
13. Circuit Output: Based on the software flow diagram (shown below) the CPU outputs a frequency proportional to flow rate. The CPU output frequency may be observed at the CPU PLS and COM1 test points. This frequency output is then converted based on the output selection jumpers to either a 4-20 mA current signal, or frequency.
14. Analog Output: If the software and jumpers are set for analog output, the CPU frequency is in the range of 1000 Hz to 5000 Hz. The frequency to current (f/i) circuit will convert this to 4-20 mA.
15. Pulse Output: If the software and jumpers are set for pulse output, the CPU frequency will be scaled (or unscaled) according to the software settings. The low level CPU frequency will be converted to a powered voltage output pulse by the pulse output driver circuit as shown.
Software calculation:
The equations at the end of this section describe how the flow rate is calculated from the input frequency. These equations are presented for reference only. It is not necessary to become familiar with them to operate a vortex flowmeter.

The software configuration flow chart is a simplified diagram, some details are left out for clarity.
Figure 6.2.2: Software Configuration
1. The flow rate frequency is input to the CPU and displayed in parameter G01.
2. The Noise Judge then discriminates whether this signal is flow rate or noise, based on the settings of B08 (Min. Density) and H06 (Noise Judge). If noise judge determines the signal to be flow, it is passed to Low Cut.
3. The Low Cut function (performed by H07 L.C. Flow rate) determines if the signal frequency is greater than that input at H07, the Low Cut Flow rate. If the signal exceeds Low Cut, it is then passed on to be computed into an actual flow rate and appropriately scaled for output and totalization.
4. The resulting flow signal is then smoothed according to the damping value set in parameter B53.
5. Error correction functions are applied to the damped flow signal. Refer to the appropriate How to listing for details.
6. From this point the CPU calculates the appropriate values for analog and pulse output, and/or for totalization and rate display.

6.4 SIGNAL CONDITIONING
6.4.1 YEWFLO Style “E” signal adjustment procedure
The YEWFLO Style “ E” vortex flowmeter is a powerful, microprocessor-based instrument whose noise discrimination functions have been factory-set for optimum performance based on customer supplied application information. For most applications, these factory settings are ideal and should not require adjustment by the user. However, difficult applications which generate a noisy output signal may require fine tuning of these functions in an effort to better discriminate signal from noise.
There are five parameters associated with these functions: noise balance, TLA, low-cut frequency, high-cut frequency and noise judge. This procedure will direct the user in the application of these functions based on installation specific symptoms. One or more of these adjustments should correct most of the problems that may be experienced. If problems persist, please contact our Technical Assistance Center (TAC) 800-524-7378.

6.4.2 Problem solving
The type of problems that can be solved using this adjustment procedure include:
• Output occurrence with no flow
• Unstable output at low flow
• High output for a known flow rate
• High output (beyond programmed span)
Before making any adjustments, we recommend exploring other potential reasons and possible solutions for these problems by checking your piping.
6.4.3 Piping checkout procedure
Many noise problems can be solved by some simple changes to the overall piping design. Make the following checks:
• Make sure there is sufficient straight run upstream and downstream. For further recommendations, refer "Piping Requirements".
• Check the installation for excessive vibration - 1g max for gas applications and 2g max for liquid applications. If excessive vibration exists and the pipe is not braced, install appropriate bracing to dampen the vibration. High vibration piping may require remote mounting of the amplifier to reduce the amplitude of any transmitted vibration to the shedder bar. It also may be desirable to mount the meter so the shedder bar is perpendicular
IM 1F2B4-01-YIA Page 94
TROUBLESHOOTING
to the axis of vibration.
• Check the gaskets to be sure they don’ t protrude into the flow stream. If they do, trim them as required or reinstall them.
• Be sure that wafer style meters are aligned properly using any alignment devices supplied with the meter.
• If the meter is installed in non-conductive pipe, be sure the body is well grounded using an external strap.
If a remote amplifier is used, confirm the following:
1) The interconnecting cable was factory terminated. If not properly connected, check the termination. Refer to "Cable" for more information.
2) The remote electronics housing is w ell grounded.
3) Confirm the remote amplifier is correctly connected to the flowtube. If not properly connected, an unexpected output can be generated by the amplifier.
If one or more of the symptoms mentioned above still exist after the piping checkout procedure, perform the Noise Balance Adjustment procedure as follows:
6.4.4 Noise balance adjustment (parameter H01)
This adjustment balances the noise component in the output of the two piezoelectric crystals so that a high signal to noise ratio can be obtained. This is basically a null-balance type adjustment; in other words adjustment should be made throughout the range of possible values (-5 to +10) to determine the lowest noise setting. This is not a simple min/max value setting.
Adjustment is made with a full pipe and no flow. If flow cannot be stopped, the best adjustment is made at low flow rates (less than 1.6 f/s for liquids and 26 f/s for gas).
1) Connect an oscilloscope between test points TP2 and COM2 and observe the signal wave
form. Access parameter H01 and make adjustment throughout the range of possible values to
obtain the lowest noise component of the wave form. See Figure 6.4.1 below for wave form examples.
