Introduction:

PEM-1000 magnetic-inductive flowmeters are precise measuring devices intended for the measurement of
liquid flow of electrically conductive media. The meters may be used for measurements, registration, dosing,
mixing, etc. as operating and/or certificated meters according to Act no. 505/1990 Coll. on Metrology.

PEM-1000 application

! Water management, drinking and waste water measurement

! Chemical, textile, paper, mining industry
! Food industry
! Power engineering and heating plants
! Agriculture

PEM-1000 advantages

! Independent of power supply fluctuation and line voltage interference

! Independent of pressure, temperature and density, etc of the media
! No pressure losses
! No disturbances of measured liquid consistency

Do not install where

! Liquid conductivity is below 5 µS/cm (20 µS/cm for demineralized water)

! Partly filled pipe is possible
! Non lamina flow occurs
! Liquid velocity can be less than 0.3 m/sec

The principle of inductive sensor operation

The measurement is based on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. In compliance with
this law, electric voltage is induced in an electrically conductive body, which moves across a magnetic field. The
following equation is applied for voltage to be induced (generally):
U = B x D x v where: U = inductive voltage D = piping diameter
v = mean flow speed vector B = magnetic induction

If magnetic induction B and piping diameter D

U are constant, then induction voltage is
proportional to the mean flow speed.Liquid is
flowing via a flowmeter perpendicularly to the
v direction of the magnetic field. Electric voltage
which is monitored by two electrodes placed
perpendicularly to both magnetic field and flow
is induced by a stream of liquid with minimum
electrical conductivity. Excitation current with a
rectangular waveform is generated in a
converter and fed to sensor coil windings
generating the flowmeter magnetic field. The
B
forced-current system provides constant
excitation under all conditions that can occur
during the operation.

Specifications:

Measurement conditions
Measurement is independent up on
! Liquid temperature and pressure
! Liquid density and viscosity
! Solids contents
! Usual level of magnetic field interference

For maintaining the PEM-1000 accuracy and reliability, it is necessary to meet the following conditions
! Minimum liquid conductivity >20 µs / cm for demineralized cold water.
>5 µs / cm for other liquid.
! Liquid velocity min. 0.3 m / sec, max. 12 m / sec.
o
! Steady flow section performance no DN change bevel pipe part(s) of maximum 8
! Steady flow section length 5 DN upstream / 3 DN downstream (from sensor)
! Fully filled sensor profile with liquid measured.
! High quality operational contact between the sensor and liquid measured.

Measurement accuracy is interfered by

! Gassing of measured liquid and air bubbles
! Strong stray earth currents
! Liquid turbulence in the sensor
! Solids of magnetic metals in the medium measured

PEM-1000 options
Sensor option
! A measuring pipe is made of non-magnetic material with welded flanges and assembly clamps. An insulating
liner with required properties is installed inside the pipe (according to the medium used). A system of driving
coils generating the required magnetic field is directly fixed on the measuring pipe body.
! A pair of electrodes located opposite and passing through the measuring pipe with liner is made of high-
grade steel and/or other material (according to the required chemical resistance against the medium being
measured).
! The complete electrical section is assembled in steel housing (welded) with a neck for internal cabling.
2
! Remote version: A signal cable with the standard length of 8 m/ Cu type 2x2x0.25 mm is attached to the
neck and the cable passes through a cable seal (also other lengths are available).
! Compact version: The instrument box body is attached to the neck.
! The housing welding makes it possible to achieve a high-grade protection and surface finish provides a
steady climate resistance.

Converter option
! Control and evaluation electronics is assembled into robust aluminium housing with a sight hole for the
display, or in case of the blind version IP 67 protection is used.

Additional options
! PEM-1000 flowmeter as „working/certificated meter“ complies with the Act on Metrology no. 505/1990
Coll.Metrological properties according to the customer’s requirements are determined by verification and
identification with the official mark and these cannot be changed.
! Multi-point calibration of the measuring range. The flowmeters are usually calibrated in 3 points. On the
customer‘s request, the number of calibration points can be increased.
! Higher sensor protection IP 68: the requirement must be precisely defined (i.e. immersion depth and time,
and/or explosive zones).
! Higher PN, and/or different sensor built-in lengths, different flange options (DIN, ANSI, etc.), after
consultation of your supply.
! Controlled data acquisition program – it allows evaluating the statistical readout data on a PC WIN.

PEM-1000 connection and assembly

Converter connection to power supply must be performed in compliance with the standards and rules to be
effective

! If requested our Service Division will carry out commissioning. If work is done by any different organisation,
the warranty can be cancelled in the case of such unauthorised work.
! Electrical protection allows the use of the instrument in all kinds of active, passive and complex
environments, and after an agreement with us, it is possible to carry out some additional modifications even
for severe climaticconditions.

2
 ! Signal and output cable routing should not be located near power output distribution network or in common
ducts.

Tolerance of built-in lengths:

DN 10 – DN 150 ⇒ A ± 5 mm, DN 200 – DN 1000 ⇒ A ± 10 mm

Signal cable connection

! Signals which are transmitted from a sensor electrode circuit to the converter will be in a range of millivolts.
They will be very sensitive to magnetic and electrostatic interference from neighbouring high-voltage cables,
power supply cables and high power output motors, etc. The interference is mainly compensated for by the
converter connection, nevertheless if possible, it is necessary to prevent all spurious signals.
! The signal cable is of a special construction and length and is a part of the shipment, its length should not be
changed (for certificated meter must not be changed). The proper cable connection to the converter is
important; doing so may cause measurement failures. Special requirements are laid on shielding, and the
measurement precisiondepends on its quality.
! The cable must not be extended.
! The shielding must be well insulated on the whole route from ground and the other metal subjects. It is
recommended that the cable is located in a separate conduit or trays.

Sensor location and its position in piping

! The inductive flowmeter sensor can be installed in any position according to requirements, however for
horizontal assembly, the electrode axis must always be horizontal.

3
! Sensor must remain full of liquid.
! It is recommended that the flow direction should follow the arrow on the sensor cover; the converter is also
preset for this direction. On the operating meter, it is possible to adjust the reverse flow direction by changing the
! PEM-1000 cnverter parameter.
! Bolts and nuts – verify if there is a sufficient space for their installation near flanges.
! Vibration and deflection of piping – fix the piping on both sides from the flowmeter to avoid any deflection and
vibrations.
! If you install any pipes with higher internal diameters, install a reducer; this will provide an axial shift without
increased mechanical stress of piping and sensor flanges.
! To improve flow, use only the recommended straight lengths upstream (5DN) and downstream of the sensor
(3DN). Any change of a diameter with an angle up to 8º is excluded from the above-mentioned straight lengths.
Suitably assembled flow deflectors and a combination of diffusers are used in more sophisticated installations.
! When you install the sensor in insulated piping (e.g. glass, artificial mass, etc.), use proper sealing ground rings.
A conductive connection between a sensor ground point and the liquid to be measured is needed for a proper
measurement!

To avoid any measurement errors which are caused by air bubbles or failures on the lining, pay attention
to the following recommendations

! During assembling correctly seat the sensor, tighten screws uniformly and move on a diagonal one after another.
! It should be noted that the parallelism of flanges has a greater effect on packing than excessive tightening forces
on curved and seated flanges.
! The sensor must be installed inside piping so that the axis of sensor electrode is always horizontal.
! A PTFE (teflon) lining calls for extra care during handling and assembly. During installation/operation avoid
excessive underpressure in pipes. Please do not change and damage the outlet extension on both ends of the
sensor. The sensors are shipped from the factory with special covers to avoid any shape deformations. (PTFE
elastic memory should cause a partial compensation in future). Please remove the covers just before installation,
and when you insert it between counterflanges, replace by a number of smooth metal sheet pieces which are
removed just before tightening the bolts.
! Packing – The extended part of lining does not operate properly as a seal, hence appropriate packing must be
inserted between sensor and pipeline. If the packing protrudes into a flow profile at any point, this will cause
turbulence and reduce the measurement quality.
! During installation, make sure the sensor slides into piping if the pipeline is not flexible enough. It is
recommended that installation inserts (especially for greater internal diameters) should be used. During
installation of the sensor, counterflanges must not be welded (danger of the sensor lining failure).

PEM-1000 grounding
! For reliable and proper operation of the inductive meter, it is necessary to use high-quality protective grounding.
Internal flowmeter cables and power supply PE (PEN) conductors provide protective grounding. Working
grounding is also provided via internal cables and a high-quality connection of the sensor body with two metal
pipe counterflanges. It is recommended that a connection made with M6 welded screws or bored threaded holes
is used. The connection under flange fixing screws is not recommended because of possible corrosion resulting
in measurement failures.
! When assembled into piping made from non-conductive material (or with non-conductive lining), it is
necessary to provide working grounding with liquid by a different method, e.g. by grounding rings – valid for
DN 10 ÷ DN 100. The rings can be ordered from factory, their material and chemical resistance must comply
with the liquid to be measured – usually produced from the same material as sensor electrodes. The

4
 flowmeters from DN 50 ÷ DN 1000 are equipped of grounding electrode. Function of grounding electrode is
same as grounding ring.
! When assembled, it is necessary to insert the packing on both sides of the grounding ring. Make sure that
no parts will protrude into a internal sensor profile (turbulence).

Drawing of sensor working grounding inside pipeline Use of grounding rings –valid for DN 10 ÷ DN 40

Electrodes
! The electrode material must be selected according to its chemical resistance of the liquid to be measured.
! The electrode purity can affect the measurement precision, and high impurity concentration can affect the
measurement process (liquid insulation).
! Immediately after shipping, it is not necessary to clean the electrodes before installing the sensor inside
piping. Clean with a fine cloth, or use a chemical detergent. Avoid any damage of the lining! If the electrodes
must be cleaned during operation, either mechanical or electrolytic methods may be used. Mechanical
cleaning can only be used for a suitable sensor assembly, otherwise dismantle the sensor from the pipeline.
After cleaning reinstall the sensor.
! Any electrolytic method is advantageous for its simplicity, however it can only be applied for the
contamination that can be removed by electrolysis (low contamination and deposit).
! All detailed instructions are available from the flowmeter manufacturer on request.
! If a flowmeter operates under normal conditions, for most liquids it is not necessary to clean flowmeters
during their life, only self-cleaning by flowing liquid is satisfactory (a recommended velocity is over 3 m/s).

PEM-1000 commissioning
Checking installation and connections.
! Proper sensor and grounding
! Tightening all cable connection clamps and plug in all connectors.
! Verify the completeness of the shipped set according to the serial numbers of sensor and converter.
! Verify proper supply voltage; see the label on the converter.
! Verify proper electrical protection.
! If the installation is fault-free, fill the pipeline with liquid and verify the sensor tightness inside the pipeline.
After short washout, switch the system on-off-on.

Additional devices
The additional devices are intended for remote control of the converter output signals (displaying and
processing).
The additional devices are not usually included in PEM-1000 shipment, but their type should by approved by the
manufacturer. In such a case, the manufacturer is only responsible for the suitability of input parameters, and all
other parameters are set according to the manufacturer’s specifications of the additional devices.
If PEM-1000 is used as a certificated meter, the additional devices that have passed a separate type test or have
been included in the PEM-1000 type test can be used.

Packing, transportation and storage

If a set is ordered without installation, the sensor is packed in corrugated paper and the converter is enclosed in
a cardboard box or wooden palette

Comp delay: delay – if preset time elapsed (1 to 250 sec.), comparator is closed/opened, and
„Comp mode“ conditions must also be met.

Relay 1 – for Comparator 1 must also be assigned in the Relays menu to the preset comparator. The preset
comparator including the assigned relay will close/open relay 1 if current flowrate exceeds 100 l/sec. with a
preset delay of 10 sec. The closed relay 1 will open if flowrate reduces below 95 l/sec. with a delay 10 sec.

Example:
The flowrates below the low limit of up to 3 percent of the range must be blocked (i.e. sneak flowrate). Adjust
the following parameters:
