MANUFACTURER’S DESIGN AND SAFETY
STATEMENT
• Responsibility for the choice of lining and electrode materials in regards to abrasion and corrosion
resistance lies with the purchaser. The effect of any change in fluid process during the operation of the
device must be taken into account. Incorrect selection of lining and/or electrode could lead to a failure
of the device.
• While designing the device stresses and loads possibly caused by earthquakes, traffic, strong winds and
fire damage were not taken into account.
• Do not install the device so that it acts as a focus for pipeline stresses. In the configuration of the device
please take into account any external loads.
• During operation do not exceed the pressure and/or temperature ratings indicated on the nameplate or
in this Operating Manual.

BATTERY OPERATION:
• Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content. They are designed to meet the
highest possible safety standards. They may, however, pose a potential hazard if they are misused either
electrically or mechanically which may cause the generation of excessive heat and possible breakage
of the cell.
Thus the following basic precautions should be observed when handling and using lithium batteries:
- Do not short-circuit, recharge, overcharge or connect with incorrect polarity
- Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate the battery
- Do not crush, puncture or open cells or disassemble battery packs
- Do not weld or solder to the body of the battery, or the battery packs
- Do not expose contents to water
Lithium batteries are regulated under United Nations Model Regulations on Transport of Dangerous goods
(UN document on transport of hazardous goods), UN ST/SGAC document. 10-1, 12th revised edition, 2001.
The UN document No. 3091
Class 9 covers the lithium batteries packed with the equipment or inserted into it. The UN document No.
3090 Class 9 only covers the transport of the batteries themselves.
Thus the following basic precautions should be followed when transporting lithium batteries:
- Transport only in special packaging with special labels and transportation documents.
- Use caution in handling, transporting and packaging in order to prevent short circuiting of the batteries.
- The gross mass of the package is limited according to the type of transportation. In general, a gross
mass of less than 5 kg is acceptable for all forms of transport
-The batteries comply with the requirements set out in “UN Manual of tests and criteria, Part III,
subsection 38.3” for transport by air and with the provisions of the ADR regulations for the transport by
truck/sea.

• Remove the battery from the transmitter before returning the flow meter to Euromag International for

AND REPAIR
The device was carefully manufactured and has passed rigorous testing before leaving the factory. If
correctly installed and maintained, the event of a malfunction should be highly unlikely.
Should you nevertheless need to return a device for inspection or repair, please pay strict
Attention to the following points:
- A result of the provisions of law on the environmental protection and the safeguarding of health and safety
of our staff, the manufacturer may only handle, check and repair those devices returned without having
being in contact with free-risks products for both the staff and the environment.
- This means that the manufacturer can carry out the service on the device only if the latter is accompanied
by the following certificate
(See next section) attesting that the device itself can be handled safely.

SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE REMEDIES

The converter shows a • There is air in the pipe, try to avoid the creation of bubbles selecting a
flow rate even there is more suitable position for the sensor (see installation paragraph).
static or no flow • Check that the sensor is full with liquid.
• Electrical conductivity of the liquid is too low or is not compatible with the
material used for the sensor electrodes.
• Perform manual zero calibration if necessary (Menu - Parameters, sub-
menu - zero calibration).
Flow reading is highly Possible causes are:
unstable 1- HYDRAULIC
Air bubbles or unstable flow (vortex motion). The minimum required linear
distances upstream and downstream of the device were not complied
with.
2- ELECTRIC
Grounding missing or done in an incorrectly way, oxidized nodes, very
noisy ground point, usually in common with the grounding systems of
pumps or inverters. Change the grounding point or preferably create a
new one for the exclusive use of the meter.

NOTE: If with full pipe and stable liquid an unstable reading

can be observed (which varies rapidly) then most likely it is
a problem of electrical noise

Only if necessary, set the filters as follows:

• Set Damping to 150
• Reduce the peak cut filter
• Increase the bypass filter

check the battery life and replace the battery pack.
Liquid is flowing and Reduce the flow cut off filter (factory settings is 2% of the full scale)
the pipe is filled, but NO
reading is available NOTE: Should you need to reduce the flow cut off
filter, it means the speed of the liquid is lower than that
recommended for a accurate measurement. It is advisable
to lower the full scale (120% of the maximum of the
process).

ALARM POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

MESSAGES
Excitation failure • Incorrect connections of cables
• Sensor damaged. Damaged lining or electrodes. Possible infiltration of
liquid inside the sensor
• Converter damaged
It is recommended to perform a test on the sensor -> circuit between coils
A - B: 50 - 250 Ohm
Request the “sensor test” to the factory
Measurement error • Empty Pipe
• Air bubbles within the liquid
• Incorrect electrical grounding
It is advisable to check for correct installation of the sensor in the three points
indicated and carry out a test on the sensor -> with full pipe (A or B) - ground
> 100 MOhm
Empty Pipe • Empty pipe detection
This message is displayed with sensors that have 4 electrodes. Indicates
the alarm of empty pipe, or even only partially empty. In case of persistent
message with full pipe (more than a few minutes) act on the empty pipe
threshold (see section 10.3.6 Empty pipe threshold).
Pulses accumulation • Pulse frequency incorrect
It is advisable to change the volume settings and pulse duration. See the
section for pulse output setting
Supply voltage • Supply voltage out of operating range
• Converter damaged
Check the power supply network
Data logger full • Data logger memory full
It is advisable to download the data to PC, and erase the memory of the
converter
