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.
1.2PRINCIPLEOF OPERATION
1.2.1Vortex 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 isproportional to velocity .

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
1.2.2K-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 thatcan effect accuracy .

INTRODUCTION
1.2.3Qmin
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.
1.2.4Uniquely 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.
1.2.5Vortex 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.
1.2.6Available 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.

PROCESS CONNECTIONS (wafer style for mounting between)
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 anOPERATION 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.
2.1PARAMETER SETTINGIN 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.

2.2YEWFLO 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.

2.3PARAMETER SETTINGIN HART™ COMMUNICATIONS
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.
