Union Fittings and Wafers For pipes from DN 5 to 50 mm PP or PVDF Selecting a Location The 55 requires a full pipe and a fully developed turbulent flow profile for accurate measurement. If the piping system harbors air pockets or bubbles, take steps to locate the sensor so the air pockets will not contact the electrodes. In vertical installations, assemble the 55 so the conduit ports are facing downward. This prevents condensation inside the conduit from being directed into the 55 electronics housing. Chemical injection systems can temporarily alter the fluid conductivity and cause anomalies in the magmeter measurement. To avoid this problem, install the magmeter UPSTREAM of the injection point.

Locating the sensor in a trap or where the flow is upward helps to protect the sensor from exposure to air bubbles when the system is in operation. OK OK OK +GF+ Vertical flow is ok if the pipe remains full Vertical flow is OK if the pipe remains full at all times. at all times. These configurations are not recommended because it is difficult to keep the pipe full. +GF+ In a gravity-flow system, the tank must be designed so the level does not drop below the outlet. This causes the pipe to draw air in from the tank. If air bubbles pass across the Magmeter electrodes, the output will become erratic. 55 Blind Magmeter
Hardware Configuration Whether using the 55-XX- (with frequency or Digital (S L) output) or the 55-XX- (with to 0 ma output), the wiring terminals located on the inside of the yellow cover are identical. All of the connections from the Magmeter to external equipment (PLC, Datalogger, Chart Recorder, Flow meter, etc.) are made at the large -position terminal connector. When the cover is removed the wiring from the sensor can be seen connected to the smaller terminal block. These connections should always remain connected to prevent inadvertent damage or miswiring. The terminals on the 55 Magmeter are designed for conductors from 6 AWG to AWG. WARNING! If the second conduit port is used, carefully drill the opening. (The plastic is too strong to be punched out.) JP is for factory use only. MAKE NO CONNECTIONS. This blue jumper selects frequency output or S L serial data output in the -55-XX- (Not used on 55-XX- models) JP Set this blue jumper according to the pipe size.

Blue Brown Black Red Yellow White Not used External Earth Ground Terminal The factory connects the sensor cable to the terminals inside the yellow cover. Secure the Magmeter in a vise to prevent damage or injury. The plastic inside the port is very thin. Do not allow the drill to penetrate too deeply and damage the Magmeter wiring. Use the yellow decal to mark the direction of flow on the pipe Important: The directional arrow on the sensor body MUST be pointed DOWNSTREAM for correct operation. (Digital (S L) and to 0 ma will not work if flow is against direction of arrow). The FLOW arrow decal can be placed directly on the pipe to identify the direction of flow. Use a cable gland or a liquid tight connector to seal the cable ports from water intrusion. The yellow housing may be reversed to align the conduit ports as required. If the Magmeter is installed on a vertical pipe, the conduit ports should be turned to point downward. This will prevent condensation from being channeled into the enclosure. Use plumber's tape or a suitable sealant on cable ports. Flow -9000.9- Liquid tight connector (one supplied) Sensor grounding ring WARNING! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN THE SENSOR BEING EJECTED FROM THE PIPE! Flow Do not use any tools to tighten the yellow retaining cap. DO NOT USE thread sealant or lubricants on retaining cap! Lubricate O-rings with a viscous non-petroleum based lubricant (grease) compatible with the system. DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS ON THE RETAINING CAP. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. LUBRICATE O-RINGS WITH A NON-PETROLEUM BASED, VISCOUS LUBR ICANT (GREASE) COMPATIBLE WITH THE SYSTEM. DO NOT USE thread sealant or lubricants on the fitting threads. DO NOT USE THREAD SEALANT OR LUBRICANTS ON THE RETAINING CAP OR ON THE PLASTIC FITTING THREADS. IF LEAKING IS OBSERVED FROM THE RETAINING CAP, IT INDICATES DEFECTIVE OR WORN O-RINGS ON THE SENSOR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT BY FURTHER TIGHTENING. CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY WARNING The retaining nuts of Magmeters are not designed for prolonged contact with aggressive substances. Strong acids, caustic substances and solvents or their vapor may lead to failure of the retaining nut, ejection of the sensor and loss of the process fluid with possibly serious consequences, such as damage to equipment and serious personal injury. Retaining nuts that may have been in contact with such substances, e.g. due to leakage or spilling, must be replaced. 55 Blind Magmeter 5
General Installation and Grounding Tips Sensor conditioning The Magmeter output signal may be unstable immediately after installation. Allowing the sensor to soak in a full pipe (or in any container of water) for hours will stabilize the performance. Very low conductivity fluids may require a longer conditioning period. (The Magmeter will not operate properly in fluids where the conductivity is less than 0 µs/cm.) Grounding The 55 Magmeter is unaffected by moderate levels of electrical noise. However, in some applications it may be necessary to ground portions of the system to eliminate electrical interference. The grounding requirements will vary with each installation.. One or more of the following steps may be applied if the 55 Magmeter is affected by electrical noise: The ground terminal on the outside of the yellow housing is connected internally to the grounding ring at the tip of the sensor. Connect a wire ( AWG/.08 mm recommended) from this terminal directly to a local Earth ground.. Install fluid grounding devices immediately upstream and downstream of the Magmeter. Connect the fluid grounds to the Earth ground terminal on the 55. Use flanged grounding rings or metal electrodes on plastic pipes, or metal clamps on metal pipes. Fluid grounds must be in direct contact with the fluid, and as near to the Magmeter as possible.. The shield from the output cable must be terminated at the remote instrument ONLY. This shield must be connected at only one end!. Connect an additional wire (minimum AWG /.08 mm ) from the remote instrument ground to the Magmeter ground terminal. Instrument. Do not terminate shield at Magmeter. Sensor Grounding ring in. to 50 in. in. to 50 in. (0 cm to. m) (0 cm to. m).

Earth ground Wiring with to 0 ma Loop Output The 55-XX- Magmeter is a traditional -wire passive to 0 ma loop transmitter. External loop power ( VDC ± 0%) is required. See Ordering Information for power supplies. The maximum loop resistance the Magmeter can accomodate is 00 Ω. All 55-XX- Magmeters are shipped from the factory with the to 0 ma output scaled for 0 to 5 m/s (0 to 6. ft/s). If this operating range is suitable, no adjustments are necessary. The Calibration Tables on pages 8-9 list the 0 ma setpoint for each installation fitting.

Maintenance The 55 Magmeter requires very little maintenance. There are no user-serviceable components in the Magmeter. If the fluid contains deposits and solids that may coat the electrodes, a regular cleaning schedule is recommended. Do not use abrasive materials on the metal electrodes. Clean with soft cloth and mild detergent only. Use a cotton swab and mild detergent to remove deposits on the metal electrodes at the tip of the sensor. Environmental Recommendations: When used properly, this product presents no inherent danger to the environment. Please follow local ordinances when disposing of this or any product with electronic components. Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause Solution Output is erratic and unstable. Output is not 0 when flow is stopped. -0 ma current output is incorrect. Frequency output is inoperative Digital (S L) output is inoperative. Loop output is inoperative. Output is. ma Magmeter installed too close to upstream obstruction. Magmeter located in area exposed to air bubbles/pockets. Magmeter is installed in pipe backwards. Electrical noise is interfering with the measurement. Electrodes are coated with solids. Relocate the magmeter to have straight uninterrupted pipe upstream of the sensor for at least 0 x the pipe diameter. Eliminate air bubbles in the pipe. Remove the magmeter and reinstall with the flow direction arrow on the sensor body pointed DOWNSTREAM. Review the grounding of the magmeter and the pipe. Install adequate Earth ground to allow the Magmeter to operate properly. Carefully clean the electrodes. Refer to sensor manual for details. New sensor; metal surface not properly conditioned. Soak sensor overnight in fluid. Electrodes not adequately conditioned. Soak sensor overnight in fluid. Vibration or other movement in pipe causes Increase the Low Flow Cutoff. magmeter to detect flow. Electrical noise interference. Modify grounding to protect the Magmeter from interference. Defective Magmeter. Return to factory for service. Use -050 Setup tool to respan the Loop device not scaled same as Magmeter. Magmeter to match Loop device. Respan Loop device to match Magmeter. Range Jumper not placed correctly. Set Range Jumper correctly. Defective Magmeter. Return to factory for service 55 is wrong model. Frequency/S L model: -55-XX- Blue jumper not in correct position. Place blue jumper correctly. (Pg. ) Wiring is not correct. Check wiring, make corrections. (Pg. 7) Frequency input to other manufacturer's flow instrument does not have pull-up Install 0 kω resistor. (Pg. 7) resistor. Conductivity is less than 0 µs/cm (the fluid is too clean for Magmeter). Unsuitable application for Magmeter. Electronic component failure. Return 55 to factory. 0 55 Blind Magmeter
Flow Flow Troubleshooting Troubleshooting with the RED and BLUE LEDs Both Off: The power is off or the sensor is not connected. Solid Blue: The power is on, the pipe is full, but there is no flow in the pipe. Blinking Blue: Normal operation, blink rate is proportional to the flow rate. Alternating Red-Blue: Empty pipe indication (electrodes are not wet). Blinking Red: System errors (electrical noise interference). Solid Red: Instrument error (defective electronics component). D6 D7 If the 55 detects an empty pipe: Frequency output will be locked to 0 Hz if electrodes are not wet. Digital (S L) output will be locked to 0 if electrodes are not wet. to 0 ma will be locked to ma if electrodes are not wet. Blue and red LEDs will blink alternately if electrodes are not wet. If the 55 detects REVERSE FLOW: Frequency out cannot distinguish reverse flow from forward flow. The output will be the absolute value. With Digital (S L) output, reverse flow results in 0 flow rate displayed on 8900 or with negative numbers on the 9900. -0 ma output can be spanned into negative flow range using the -050 USB Setup Tool and software.
