Function

An electrically conductive medium flowing through an orientated magnetic field in accordance to Faraday's
law of induction will induce a voltage proportional to the mean flow velocity rate and hence the volumetric
flow. A magnetic inductive flowmeter consist of an isolated lined tube, through which a conductive liquid
flows, a magnetic field coil and two electrodes. The electrode voltage is detected by a transmitter and
converted into standardized electrical signal such as 4-20 mA or pulses. The sensor EPX can be used in
combination with the Heinrichs Messtechnik UMF3 transmitter. The transmitter can be mounted compact
or separately to the sensor.

Application
The magnetic-inductive flow sensor EPX is used to measure the volume flow of liquids, slurries, pastes
and other electrically conductive media without any pressure drop. Pressure, temperature, density and
viscosity do not affect the volume measurements. Solid particles and small gas bubbles should be
avoided.

The sensor EPX has the following significant characteristics:

 Wide variety of lining materials
 Electrodes in Hastelloy C4, Tantalum, Platinum
 Deployable in harsh environments

Ambient conditions

As the sensors are an element of the pipe, these are normally thermally isolated when installed to save
energy and prevent accidental physical contact. The heat of the process temperature will be transferred
through the supports neck of the compact mounted transmitter or the terminal box. For this reason the
thermal insulation of the sensor should only extend half way up the support of the transmitter. It is essen-
tial not to include the transmitter or the terminal box into the thermal insulation. The maximum permissible
fluid temperature range is stated on the rating plate of the respective version.

For remote configuration with 2.5m, 5m or 10m cables, the connecting cable is factory mounted on the
transmitter. The terminal configuration is valid for the sensor junction box. For greater distances between
sensor and transmitter there are two junction boxes mounted as in the above image, one on the sensor
and one on the transmitter.

To sustain best possible interference free measurements, you may consider the following hints:

To avoid errors from cable movement for media with low conductivity,use a protective conduit
and/or fasten the interconnecting cable.

Avoid laying the cable close to electrical machines, control gears or other electrical fields.

Make sure you have the potential equalization between sensor and transmitter connected.
