SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

This manual provides instructions for installing, configuring, operating, and

troubleshooting the Model CN-100 Integral Mount Magnetic Flowmeter System.

1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A complete magnetic flowmeter system consists of two components: the Model
CN-100 microprocessor-based integral-mount magnetic flowmeter transmitter and a
flowtube. The flowtube is installed in-line with process piping, either vertically or
horizontally. Coils located on opposite sides of the flowtube create a magnetic field,
and conductive liquid moving through the magnetic field generates a voltage that is
detected by two electrodes. The transmitter controls the generation of the magnetic
field and senses the voltage detected by the electrodes. Based on the sensed voltage,
the transmitter calculates a flow rate and produces analog and frequency output
signals proportional to this flow rate.

1.2 SAFETY MESSAGES

Procedures and instructions in this manual may require special precautions to ensure
the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Refer to the safety messages
listed at the beginning of each section before performing any operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION

This section covers the installation procedures for the Model CN-100 Magnetic
Flowmeter System.

2.1 SAFETY MESSAGES

Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure
the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential
safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol. Please refer to the following
safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.

2.2 WARNINGS
 Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
 Verify that the operating atmosphere of the flowtube and transmitter is consistent
with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
 Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is
alive.
 Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements.
 Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death
Or serious injury:
 Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
 Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless
qualified.
 High voltage that may be present on leads could cause electrical shock:
 Avoid contact with leads and terminals.

2.3 PRE-INSTALLATION
There are several pre-installation steps that make the installation process easier. They
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6

include identifying the options and configurations that apply to your application,
setting the hardware switches if necessary, and consideration of mechanical, electrical,
and environmental requirements. Please remember that the flowtube liner is
vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything through the flowtube for the
purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner damage can render the flowtube useless.

2.3.1 Identify Options and Configurations

Standard application of the CN-100 includes control of the flowtube coils and
one or more following configurations or options:
• 4–20 mA Output (DC24V Source)
• Pulse Output
• RS485 Communication (Option)
Be sure to identify the options and configurations that apply to your situation, and
keep a list of them nearby during the installation and configuration procedures.

2.3.2 Mechanical Considerations

The mounting site for the Model CN-100 Integral Mount Transmitter should provide
enough room for secure mounting, easy access to the conduit ports, full opening of the
transmitter covers, and easy readability of the local operator interface (LOI) screen
(see Figure 2-1).The LOI can be rotated in 90° increments. This should be performed
prior to installing the magnetic flowmeter system.

Figure 2-1 Model CN-100 Dimensional Drawings

2.4 ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Before making any electrical connections to the Model CN-100, consider the following
standards and be sure to have proper power supply, conduit, and other accessories.

2.4.1 Conduit Connections

The Model CN-100 Integral Mount Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter has a M6*1.0
conduit connections.
2.4.2 Transmitter Input Power
The Model CN-100 Transmitter is designed to be powered by voltages ranging from
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7

90V to 250V AC(50 to 60 Hz) or 15V–30 V DC. Units powered with an AC power
supply should be connected to standard AC connections for 90V AC or 250V AC.
Units powered by a 15V–30V DC power supply have special considerations.

2.4.3 DC Power Requirements

Units powered with 15V–30V DC may draw up to 2 amps of current. As result, the
input power wire must meet certain gauge requirements. Table 2-1 show the
maximum wire length for corresponding supply voltages, wire gauges, and wire type.

Types of Maximum Length of the Wire

10 0.999 12510 6355 3750
Table 2-1 Length of Annealed Copper Wires

2.4.4 Disconnects
The supply wires should be connected to the device through an external disconnect or
circuit breaker. The disconnect or circuit breaker should be clearly labeled and
located near the transmitter.

2.4.5 Overcurrent Protection

Model CN-100 requires overcurrent protection of the supply lines. Maximum rating of
overcurrent devices are as follows:

Power System Fuse Rating

110V AC 250V; 1 Amp, Quick Acting
220V AC 250V; 1 Amp, Quick Acting
18 to 36V DC 250V; 1 Amp, Quick Acting

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid excessive heat and vibration. Typical
problem areas include high-vibration lines with integrally Mounted transmitters,
warm-climate installations in direct sunlight, and outdoor installations in cold
climates. Because the Model CN-100 System requires external power, access to a
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------8

suitable power source must be ensured. Overheating will damage the flowtube. Do not
encapsulate the flowtube with heating elements.

2.6 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

2.6.2 Handling
All parts should be handled carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport
the system to the installation site in the original shipping containers. The flowtube is
shipped with end covers to protect it from mechanical damage and normal
unrestrained distortion. End covers should not be removed until just before
installation. Keep shipping plugs in conduit connections until conduits are connected
and sealed. All flowtube liners are vulnerable to handling damage. Never place
anything through the flowtube for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner
damage can render the flowtube useless. Flanged flowtubes have different lifting and
transportation guidance. Refer to Figure 2-2 for correct handling techniques.

Figure 2-2 FlowtubeSupport for Handling

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------10

2.6.3 Flowtube Mounting

Physical mounting of a flowtube is similar to installing a typical section of pipe. Only
conventional tools, equipment, and accessories (such as bolts, gaskets, and grounding
hardware) are required.

 Calibration
magnetic flowmeter systems are we ll-calibrated at the factory and need no
further calibration during installation.

 Upstream Downstream Piping

To ensure specific accuracy over widely varying process conditions, install the flowtube
with various installations cases from the electrode plane, as shown in Figure 2-3. This flowtube
placement is usually adequate to allow for disturbances created by elbows, valves, and reducers.

Figure 2-3 Upstream and Downstream Straight Pipe Diameter

* Note : It can be measured a correct flow rate only when a detector is full of fluid inside pipe completely. Make sure
to operate it with fluid in full inside pipe. And it should be no air bubble in fluid of pipe. An air bubble can be
cause a serious hunting problem. It should be removed all of air bubble in fluid of pipe before operating.

 Required pipe length on Piping connections

If various joints are used upstream of the detector outlet, the straight pipe length as show in
Figure 2-3-a is required.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------11

Figure 2-3-a Required straight pipe length on the upstream side

* It follows the regulations of JIS B 7554 and KS B 0612 standards for the straight-pipe length
installation condition of electromagnetic flowmeter.

2.6.4 Flowtube Orientation

 Vertical Installation
Vertical installation allows upward process fluid flow and is generally preferred.
Upward flow keeps the cross-sectional area full, regardless of flow rate. Orientation of
the electrode plane is unimportant in vertical installations.
NOTE :
As shown in Figure 2-4, avoid downward vertical flows where back pressure is
inadequate to ensure that the flowtube remains full.

Figure 2-4 Vertical Flowtube Orientation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12

Figure 2-4 Vertical Flowtube Orientation

 Horizontal Installation
Horizontal installation should be restricted to low piping sections that are normally
full. Orient the electrode plane to within 45 degrees of horizontal in horizontal
installations. A deviation of more than 45degrees of horizontal would place an
electrode at or near the top of the flowtube–making it more susceptible to insulation
by air or entrapped gas at the top of the flowtube. Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5 Horizontal Flowtube Orientation

 Incline Installation
An inclined installation, as shown in Figure 2-6, is an acceptable installation
technique. This tends to keep the cross-sectional area full.
NOTE:
As shown in Figure 2-6, avoid declining installations where back pressure is
inadequate to ensure that the flowtube remains full.

Figure 2-6 Incline or Decline Flowtube Orientation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------13

2.6.5 Flow Direction

The flowtube should be mounted so that the FORWARD end of the flow arrow,
shown on the flowtube identification tag, points in the direction of flow through the
tube (see Figure 2-7).

Figure 2-7 Flow Direction

 It can be measured flow rate at both directions such as Forward direction(+) or Reverse
direction(-). It is shown the flow directions on the LCD monitor of converter.

2.6.6 Gaskets
The flowtube requires gaskets at each of its connections to adjacent equipment or
piping. The gasket material selected must be compatible with the process fluid and
operating conditions, and must not damage the liner. (see Figure 2-8).

NOTE:
To avoid possible flowtube damage, do not use metallic or spiral wound gaskets.

2.6.7 Flange Bolts

Flowtube sizes and torque values for Class 150 and Class 300 flanges are listed in
Table 2-2. Tighten flange bolts in the incremental sequence shown in Figure 2-9.
Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper flowtube operation and life. All
bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence to the specified torque limits. Failure to
observe these instructions could result in severe damage to the flowtube lining and
possible flowtube replacement. Always check for leaks after tightening flange bolts.
All flowtubes require a second torquing 24 hours after initial flange bolt tightening.

2.6.8 Grounding
■ General information on ground connections
Observe the following items when grounding the device;
- The flowmeter grounding is one of the most important things for flowmeter installation.
- For plastic pipes or pipes with insulating lining, the grounding is provided by the
grounding ring.
- When stray potentials are present, install a grounding ring upstream and downstream of the
flowmeter sensor.
- For measurement-related reasons, the potential in the station ground and in the pipeline
should be identical.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------16

Important Notice
If the flowmeter sensor is installed in plastic or earthenware pipelines, or in pipelines with an
insulating lining, transient current may flow through the grounding electrode in special cases. In the
long term, it may destroy the sensor, since the ground electrode will turn in degrade electrochemically.
In these special cases, the connection to the ground must be performed using grounding plates. Install a
grounding ring upstream and downstream of the device in this case.

■ Metal pipe with fixed flanges

Use a copper wire (at least 2.5mm²) to establish the ground connection between the sensor,
the pipeline flanges and an appropriate grounding point.

Figure 2-10 : Metal pipe, without liner

 For a pipe which has a coating or painting treatment on a pipe surface, it

should be removed its coating and painting treatment on grounding part
before grounding installation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------17

■ Plastic pipes, non-metallic pipes or pipes with insulating liner

For plastic pipes or pipes with insulating lining, the ground for the measuring agent is provided
by the grounding ring. If grounding electrodes are used, the grounding ring is not necessary.
a) Install the flowmeter sensor with grounding ring in the pipeline.
b) Connect the terminal lug for the grounding ring and grounding connection on the
flowmeter sensor with the grounding strap.
c) Use a copper wire (at least 2.5mm²) to link the ground connection to a suitable grounding
point.

Figure 2-11 : Plastic pipes, non-metallic pipes or pipes with insulating liner
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------18

2.6.9 Install Conduit

Transmitter junction boxes have ports for M20*1.5 conduit connections.
1. Connect the M20*1.5 conduit to the transmitter in accordance with local or plant
electrical codes.
2. Seal unused ports to prevent moisture or other contamination from entering the
junction box.
Do not overtighten metal plugs used to seal wiring compartment ports, overtightening
can damage the housing.

2.6.10 Power Connections

To connect power to the transmitter, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that the power source and connecting cable meet the requirements outlined
in Table 2-1.
2. Turn off the power source.
3. Open the power terminal cover.
4. Run the power cable through the conduit to the transmitter.
5. Loosen the terminal cable guard for the input power terminals L and N or + and -.

2.8 QUICK START-UP

Once the magnetic flowmeter system is installed and communication is established, final
configuration of the transmitter must be completed. You may perform these functions
with the LOI ,Specific instructions regarding these functions are provided in (Section 3:
Local Operator Interface) To initiate a basic flowmeter system start-up, only two
parameters are required:
1. Set Units
2. Output Range
If your application of the magnetic flowmeter system involves more advanced functions
such as multidrop or pulse output, additional configuration steps may be required to
enable full functionality. See (Section 3: Local Operator Interface)

2.8.1 Installation Check and Guide

Use this guide to check new installations of Magnetic Flowmeter Systems that
appear to malfunction.
 Before You Begin
Be sure that power to your system is off before beginning these checks.
 Transmitter
1. Check for correct flowtube line size entered in the software.
(The line size value is listed on the flowtube nameplate.)
2. Check that the analog range of the transmitter matches the analog range in the
control system.
 Flowtube
1. For horizontal flow installations, ensure that the electrodes are in a plane such that
they remain covered by process fluid.
2. For vertical or inclined installations, ensure that process fluid is flowing up into
the flowtube to keep the electrodes covered by process fluid.
3. Ensure that the grounding straps on the flowtube are connected to grounding rings,
lining protectors, or the adjacent pipe flanges. Improper grounding will cause
erratic operation of the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------22

 Process Fluid
1. Process fluid conductivity should be 5 mhos per centimeter, minimum.
2. Process fluid must be free of air and gasses.
3. Flowtube should be full of process fluid.

2.9 PRESSURE DROP

If the CN-100 is installed properly according to the installation manual, the pressure drop
can not result because there is no obstacle in the flowtube.

2.10 SOME SPECIAL TIPS

A. For using a valve on the upstream side of flowmeter

Do not use any position valve or control valve if there is a valve on the upstream
side of flowmeter. If it is required to use, it should be installed at the distance of
20D at least between the valve and the flowmeter on the upsteam pipe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------23

B. Maintaining the flowmeter for long time

Remove the electric power when it is not used over 30 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------24

C. For setting the flow-zero

It is essential to have a calibration for flow-zero setting on site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------25

SECTION 3: MAINTENANCE

3.1 CLEANING
The adhesion might be caused in the detector pipe when using it for a long term when
the fluid including the electro-conductive solid etc. is measured, and it causes the
instruction decrease. Please clean the flowmeter if there is found any abnormal
matters such as phenomenon of decreasing a flow-rate instruction which may cause
the adhesion in the flowmeter pipes while using it.
Please clean the electrodes (2pcs) of flowmeter with soft brush, sponge, cloth
moistened with alcohol, etc. after being moved to a stable place with good ventilation
and remove the adhesion thing from the electrodes. The flowmeter may indicate a
normal value by removing the adhesion. Use always new packing when it is mounting
the flowmeter in the pipeline again.

3.2 OPERATIVE LIFE

The operative life of CN-100 is 5 years from the date of delivery. The life of the
flowmeter differs depending on the environmental conditions and the way it was
used. To extend the life of the flowmeter, inspect and clean the flowmeter
periodically. If it will be used with mixed NaCLO fluid, it will be shortened life-time
as half from its operative life-time.

3.3 PRODUCT DISPOSAL

The electromagnetic flowmeter must be disposed of, according to the rules and
regulations of your local government. Especially if you dispose of electrolytic
capacitors to replace parts, have it done by an agency which is licensed to handle
industry waste materials.

4. Measuring Range
In the normal industry application, it is better to set the measured medium speed as 2~4m/s, under the special
situation, the minimum speed should be more than 0.2m/s and maximum speed less than 8m/s, if there are solid
granules in liquid, the usual speed should be less than 3m/s for purpose to avoid the over-attrition between lining
and electrical poles. For viscid liquid, the speed can choose as 2m/s, the fast flow speed makes for the automatic
elimination of obstructive substances glued on poles, therefore improve the inspection’s preciseness.
