Info Information and tips
System description
Electromagnetic flowmeters are precision instruments designed for linear flow measurement of
liquid products.
The process liquids must be electrically conductive, ≥ 1 µS/cm (depending on the sensor);
for cold demineralized water: ≥ 20 µS/cm.
The full-scale range Q100% can be set as a function of the sensor meter size (primary head) in
keeping with the flow velocity between v = 0.3 – 12 m/s, see flow table in Sect. 5.3.
Product liability and warranty

Electromagnetic flowmeters from KROHNE are designed solely for measuring the flow rate and
the conductivity of electrically conductive process liquids.
Such flowmeters are also available for use in hazardous areas.
Special regulations apply in this case, which are given in the special EEx directions,
see separate operating instructions.
Responsibility as to suitability and intended use of these electromagnetic flowmeters rests solely
with the operator.
Improper installation and operation of the flowmeters (systems) may lead to loss of warranty.
In addition, the “General conditions of sale“ forming the basis of the purchase contract are
applicable.
If flowmeters need to be returned to KROHNE, please note the information given on the last-but-
one page of these Instructions. KROHNE regret that they cannot repair or check your

1 Electrical connection: Power supply
1.1 Location and important notes on installation PLEASE NOTE !
Electrical connection in conformity with VDE 0100 “Regulations for electrical power
installations with line voltages up to 1000 V“ or equivalent national regulations.
Use separate entry fittings (PG screwed cable entries) for power supply, field current and signal
cables, and for outputs and inputs.
Protect signal converter against direct solar radiation, install a sunshade if necessary.
Signal converters installed in switchgear cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or
heat exchanger.
Do not expose signal converters to intense vibration.

KROHNE OPTIFLUX are tested at vibrational level to IEC 68-2-34:
broadband vibration test: f1 = 20 Hz / f2 = 2000 Hz / t = 90 min. / Test in all three axes (directions),

Mounting of the remote signal converter
Mounting of the IFC 300 W:

Remove mounting plate from rear of signal converter, and attach to wall or standpipe. Replace
signal converter. Position lock washers and nuts on the housing bolts, tighten nuts slightly.
Align housing, tighten nuts firmly.
Dimensions, further information (minimum distances between signal converters):
see Sect. 5.5, Dimensions and weights
Mounting the IFC 300 F:

Mount IFC 300 F with mounting plate on wall or standpipe.
Dimensions, further information (minimum distances between signal converters):
see Sect. 5.5, Dimensions and weights
Keep distance between flow sensor and signal converter as short as possible, observe max.
allowed length of signal and field current cables, see Sect. 1.3.3 and 1.3.5.
Use the supplied KROHNE signal cable A (type DS 300, standard) or B (type BTS 300,
bootstrap, optional), standard length 5 m / 15 ft.
Generally use bootstrap signal cables B (type BTS 300) for OPTIFLUX 5000 F and OPTIFLUX
6000 F flow sensors, meter sizes DN 2.5 - 15 and 1/10” – 1/2”, and for contaminated liquids
which tend to form electrically insulating deposits.
Always calibrate flow sensor and signal converter together! Also install together and make sure
settings of the primary constant GK / GKL are identical, see device nameplates and report
on settings for the signal converter.
If components are supplied separately, or in the case of a “mixed“ installation, the signal
converter must be set to the DN size and GK / GKL of the sensor; see Sect. 4.

1.3 Electrical connection of remote sensors (primary heads)
1.3.1 General information on signal cables A and B and field current cable C
Proper functioning is ensured by the KROHNE signal cables A and B with double or
triple foil shielding.
However, when other signal cables are used, please note the following electrical data!
Electrical safety to EN 60811 Test voltage
(low-voltage directives) Signal wire / inner shield 500 V
or equivalent national standards. Signal wire / signal wire 1000 V
Capacitance of signal wire Signal wire / outer shield 1000 V
wire / wire < 50 pF/m or 15 pF/ft Twisting of signal wires
wire / shield < 150 pF/m or 45 pF/ft minimum 10× per meter or 3× per feet,
Isolation resisance >100 GΩ × km or >60 GΩ × mile important when screening magnetic fields
Voltage rating < 24 V / Current rating < 100 mA
Lay signal cables as a fixed installation, underwater and underground laying possible.
Connection of shields: - inner (1) via drain wire to normal connecting terminal
- outer (60) via braid to U-clamp terminal
Insulating material is flame-retardant to EN 50625-2-1,IEC 60322-1.
The low-halogen, unplasticized signal cables remain flexible at low temperatures.
Signal cable A (type DS 300), with double shielding
1 Stranded drain wire, inner shield,
1.0 mm² Cu / AWG 17 (not insulated, bare)
10 Inner shield (see stranded drain wire 1)
2 Insulated conductor, 0.5 mm² / AWG 20 (marking = 2)

6 Stranded drain wire, outer shield,

60 Outer shield (see stranded drain wire 6)
Outer sheath, dia. approx. 8 mm / 0.3” (marking = DS 300)
Signal cable B (type BTS 300) with triple shielding (bootstrap line)
1 Stranded drain wire, inner shield,
10 Inner shield (see stranded drain wire 1)
20 Stranded drain wire for individual shield of conductor 2
30 Stranded drain wire for individual shield of conductor 3
6 Stranded drain wire, outer shield,

60 Outer shield (see stranded drain wire 6)
Outer sheath, dia. approx. 12 mm / 0.5“ (marking = BTS 300)
In the bootstrap method, the individual shields (20 and 30) are always controlled by the signal converter
to exactly the same voltage that is present at signal wires (2 and 3). Because for that reason there is no
voltage difference between the individual shields (20 and 30) and the signal wires (2 and 3), no current
flows via the line capacitances between 2 / 20 or 3 / 30. The line capacitance is apparently “zero“.
This allows greater cable lengths when the electrical conductivity of the process product is low.

1.3.4 Grounding of sensors (primary heads)

The sensor must be properly connected to ground.
The grounding cable should not transmit any interference voltages.
Do not use the grounding cable to connect more than one device to ground.
In hazardous areas, grounding is used at the same time for equipotential bonding. Special
grounding instructions are contained in the “Ex-installation instructions“, which are only
supplied together with hazardous-duty equipment.
The sensors are connected to ground by means of a functional grounding conductor FE.
Special grounding instructions for the various sensors are contained in the separate installation
instructions for the sensors.
These instructions also contain detailed descriptions on how to use grounding rings and how to
install the sensors (primary heads) in metal or plastic pipes or in pipes which are coated on the
inside.
Warning: The signal converter must be properly grounded to avoid personnel

shock hazard. All diections, operating data and connection diagrams do not apply to
instructions without fail.

2 Electrical connection: outputs and inputs
2.1 Important information for outputs and inputs PLEASE NOTE !

The output / input groups are galvanically separated from each other and from all other
input and output circuits.
Active mode: The signal converter supplies the power for operation (activation) of
receiver instruments; observe max. operating data.
Passive mode: Operation (activation) of receiver instruments requires an external power
supply (Uext); observe max. operating data.
Connection diagrams of outputs and inputs are shown in Sect. 2.7.
For operating data of outputs and inputs, refer to Sect. 2.7 and 5.1.
2.2 I / O assemblies for the outputs and inputs

IFC 300 is available with a choiceof output/input assemblies:
The Basic I/O has one mA, one pulse and 2 status outputs. The pulse output can be set as a status
output, and one of the status outputs as a control input (see Basic I/O table).
The Modular I/O can be equipped with different output modules, depending on the task (see Modular I/O
table).
For hazardous areas, all I/O variants are available for the IFC 300 C (compact) and
IFC 300 F (remote) with terminal compartment in EEx - d (flameproof enclosure) or
EEx - e (increased safety) protection.
The Bus - System I/O allows intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe bus interfaces in combination
with further modules (see Bus - System I/O table).

2.5 Status output and limit switches
• Depending on the version, the outputs and inputs to be connected passively or

actively and/or to NAMUR EN 60947-5-6! The tables in Sect. 2.2 show which
I/O version and which inputs and outputs are installed in your signal converter.
• Status output or limit switch can be set under Fct. C 2.1 Hardware.
All status outputs / limit switches are galvanically separated from all other circuits and from
each other.
Depending on the version, several status outputs / limit switches can be installed in parallel.
The output stages of the status outputs / limit switches in simple active or passive mode act
in the same way as relay contacts and can be connected with any polarities.
Passive mode requires external power source:

Uext ≤ 32V DC: Uo 1.5V @ 10 mA I ≤ 100 mA
Active mode uses the internal power supply:
Unom 24 V DC Uo 1.5V @ 10 mA: I ≤ 100 mA

Depending on the version, the outputs and inputs to be connected passively,

actively and/or to NAMUR EN 60947-5-6. The tables in Sect. 2.2 show
which I/O version and which inputs and outputs are installed in your signal converter.
All control inputs are galvanically separated from all other circuits and from each other.
Depending on the version, two control inputs can be installed in parallel.

If two are installed, these have to be set to different functions.
In the passive mode, the control inputs can be operated with any polarity.
Passive mode requires external power source:

Uext ≤ 32V DC: Uon 19 V DC Uoff 2.5 V DC
Active mode uses the internal power supply:
Unom 24 V DC Inom 16 mA
NAMUR mode to EN 60947-5-6
(Control input active in accordance with NAMUR EN 60947-5-6:
open-circuit and short-circuit monitoring to EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR) can only be done
from the infeeding device. Due to the principle involved, only monitoring of control
input CN takes place in the signal converter.)
Status output (adjustable to following operating states, see Fct. C 2.x.01):

- off - zero output + stop Cnt. (not display)
- stop all counters - all outputs zero (not display, not counters)
- stop counter 1 or 2 - output A, B, C or D zero
- reset all counters - hold all outputs (not display, not counters)
- reset counter 1 or 2 - hold output A, B, C or D
- error reset - range change

3 Start-up
Before connecting to power, please check that the system has been correctly installed in
accordance with Sect. 1 and 2.
The flowmeter, comprising sensor (primary head) and signal converter, is delivered in ready-to-
operate condition. All operating data have been factory-set according to your order
specifications, see supplied report on settings.
After switching on the power, a self-test is carried out,

after which the flowmeter immediately starts flow measurements and the display
indicates the current measured values.
st nd
Alternating between the 1 and 2 measured value window and – if provided - the list of status
messages is carried out by actuating key ↑ or ↓. Possible status messages, their meaning and
possible cause are listed in the Status Table in Sect. 4.8.
The display of the IFC 300 C and IFC 300 F can be turned in steps of 90°.
Unscrew the cover of the electronic compartment and remove the two metal clips to the left
and right of the display using a screwdriver or similar tool. The display between the metal clips
can then be pulled off and re-inserted in the required position. Before pushing the clips
together with the display into the electronic compartment, make sure not to kink the display`s
flat ribbon cable more than absolutely necessary.
Replace cover and tighten by hand.
Cover threads to be protected from dirt and well greased at all times;
This is particularly important for hazardous-duty (Ex) versions.

C3.1 FB2 totalizer 1 These menus are only available for Profibus devices. In this menu all
C3.2 FB3 totalizer 2 functions with respect to the three counters within a Profibus version of the
C3.3 FB4 totalizer 3 IFC300 are grouped together. There are three menus for the two counters,
but they are identical. For this reason the functions are described in one go.
FB means function block. The IFC300 has two types of function blocks
implemented: analog inputs and totalizers. Since on any tools the function
blocks are numbered, this is also done on the local display.
In the following descriptions the “#“ indicates the totalizer:
• Totalizer 1 = C 3.1 • Totalizer 2 = C 3.2 • Totalizer 3 = C 3.3
C3.#.01 Function of totalizer function of this totalizer:
sum counter counts positive and negative values
+ counter counts only the positive values
- counter counts only the negative values
hold counter stops the totalizer
all as positive counts all values as + values (absolute)
all as negative counts all values as - values (negative absolute)
C3.#.02 Measurement Selection of the measurement for the totalizer

C3.#.03 Preset value Warning will be generated in the status on the profibus interface, if the
actual value of the totalizer is outside this range. This can be also used at a
status output choosing the function "preset counter X".
x.xxxxx in the unit selected, max. 8 places (see C4.7.10 or 13)
C3.#.04 Reset totalizer The totalizer can be reset to zero in this menu.
Æ reset totalizer?

C4 I/O HART Only available for HART devices.
C4.1 PV is These functions are meant to give information of the dynamic HART
C4.2 SV is variables and give the possibility to change this value without having access
C4.3 TV is to the HART tools like AMS, PDM or PACTware. The HART dynamic
C4.4 4V is variables are linked inside the IFC 300 to analog outputs.
If the linked analog output is active, the selection of the corresponding measurement is shown in this menu, but
cannot be changed.
If the analog output is not active, free selection of all available measurement values and counters and the
operating time counter can be selected. The selection be done in this menu.
Example 1: The primary variable (PV) is always the HART current output. In this menu the measurement value
can be seen only. It has to be changed always in the menu setup Æ I/O Æ current output X (or in
the quick setup). The display shows "PV is > (e.g.) current output A > (e.g.) mass flow".
Example 2: The secondary variable is always linked to the frequency output D. If the terminal D are selected to
be a status output (in the menu setup Æ I/O Æ hardware Æ terminals D), the secondary variable
(SV) can be selected in this menu to any measurement value or counter. The display shows "SV is
> HART dyn. variable > (e.g.) counter 1".
C4.#.01 Current output X Shows the actual selected measurement value of the linked current output.
A change of measurement value is not possible.
C4.#.01 Frequency out X Shows the actual selected measurement value of the linked frequency
output. A change of measurement value is not possible.
