Model 9500 Installation and Operation

The instructions to follow will cover almost all installations. Refer to the Drawing Appendix at the
rear of this manual for calibration data and any special drawings or instructions for applications
where special considerations, such as non-standard piping configurations or unusual power or
signal requirements are encountered.

Description
General Features
There are two physical parts of the meter; the flow transducer and the electronics
assembly. The flow transducer is either a probe (Model 62) or an in-line section (model
600) supplied with fittings to mate with the process plumbing. The flow transducer is
connected to the electronics housing.

There are many features incorporated in this meter which are covered in this manual.
Please read the manual carefully to prevent accidental damage to the meter in installation
and operation.

Thermal Mass Flow Measurement

The basic mechanism of the measurement is implemented by heating one or more spot(s)
on the wall of the fluid conduit to a precise temperature and measuring the power required
to maintain that temperature. There is a direct relationship between the fluid mass flow
rate and the heater operating power. This relationship is determined by actual (or
equivalent) flow in duplicate conditions to the application.

The utilization of heat transfer to measure mass flow rates is a technique dating back to the
early 1900's. It has been only since 1959 when Thermal Instrument Company pioneered
with industrial quality devices for both gas and liquid flows that the method has gathered
universal acceptance.

Operation
Please refer to the block diagram Figure 1 as you read through the following description of
operation.

Flow Transducer
The Thermal Instrument Company meter uses a unique compound bridge circuit which
measures and controls the temperature of a precision RTD (Resistance Temperature
Detector) bonded to the dry side of the fluid conduit.

The power required to maintain this temperature is proportional to the mass flow rate of the
fluid. Unfortunately, this relationship is highly non-linear. For some liquids over limited
flow ranges the relationship is logarithmic. In general though, some form of linearization
(curve straightening) is necessary for a practical instrument.

2
 Also, since the heat transfer characteristic of all fluids (and almost any measurement
technique) is temperature sensitive, some method of temperature compensation must be
included in the instrument.

Electronics
These functions are accomplished on the Bridge Voltage Control Board shown in Figure 2.
The output signal is passed to the Logic Control Board (Figure 3) where the non-linear
signal is digitized. This digital value is used to look up the corresponding flow value in an
EEPROM (Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read-Only Memory). The linearized value is
then used to drive an LED flow rate display, an 8-digit Totalizer and the 4-20 mA current
output flow signal.

The Logic Control Board incorporates a micro-processor which controls the data flow and
modifies the calculations according to parameters stored in EEPROM. The microprocessor
also controls the communications link between the meter and a PC. This link is used to
monitor and change the operating factors mentioned above in the Features section.

Installation Instructions

Flow Transducer
For our in-line meters, Model 600-9, the meter can be mounted in either a horizontal or
vertical pipe lines. However, when mounted in vertical piping, the flow must be upward.

For our probe meters. Model 62-9, the meter can be mounted in either a horizontal or
vertical pipe lines. If mounted in vertical piping, the flow can be going upward or
downward, however, if mounted in vertical piping with liquid flow going down, ensure
that the line stays full of liquid.

Any special piping configurations requested by the customer, to be included in the

factory calibration, must be duplicated for best accuracy.

Normally, an inline meter should be installed in an unobstructed straight line. The flow should
enter at the port marked “IN” and exit at the port marked “OUT”. This line should preferably be
the same diameter as the meter tube or pipe. The straight section should have a minimum of ten
(10) diameters ahead of the meter and an unobstructed straight length of five (5) diameters after
the meter. Where physical conditions prevent this, inform us in advance and we will
calibrate the meter under actual operating conditions.

The same installation conditions apply to the Model 62 Probe transducer. The probe must be
rotated so that the index arrow etched on the probe fitting faces toward the flow.

Input Power and Output Signals

General Considerations

Mechanical Care - Be careful of the enclosed electronics when removing the condulet cover.
After the initial installation, never open the condulet when power is connected.
Gently lift the cover from the electronic assembly and put it in a safe location where dirt
cannot get inside or, if the display option has been selected, where dirt can get on the
inside of the viewing window. When replacing the cover take care that the display legend
plate is centered on the display and that the cover window lugs do not hit the legend plate
in the last two or three turns of the cover.

Electrical Care - Wire size selected for all connections should be the minimum allowed by

3
 plant regulations since power consumption is small and space inside the condulet housing is
at a premium. When snaking the wires around the electronic assembly be careful of the
protruding parts. The parts are capable of withstanding some abuse but be careful.

Input Power
As shown in Field Wiring Drawing No. TIC-436-1, the input power is fused at ½ ampere
(slow blow). Spare fuses are supplied in the installation kit. They are readily available from
DigiKey (1-800-344-4539) as Part Number WK4041BK-ND or any other electronic supplier
handling Wickmann TR5 Sub-Miniature Fuses (UL 248-14) or equivalent.

110/220 VAC - The electronics may be powered by either 110 VAC or 220 VAC but the
selection is made by jumpers not accessible in the field. As shown on the Field Wiring
Drawing No. TIC-436-1, the HI line is connected to Terminal Block 1, point 1 at the top.
The LO (neutral) line is connected to point 2 and the earth line is connected to point 3.
Take special note that the two two-point terminal blocks are for the output
signals. DO NOT CONNECT HIGH VOLTAGE POWER TO THESE BLOCKS. There are
protective PolySwitch breakers on the output signal lines and they will “open” up if
overloaded but circuits can still be damaged.

24 VDC - (22 volts DC min, 30 volts DC max) - As shown on the Field Wiring Drawing No.
TIC-436-1, the positive line is connected to Terminal Block 1, point 1 at the top. The
negative line is connected to point 2 and the earth line (when used) is connected to point 3.
Take special note that the two two-point terminal blocks are for the output
signals. DO NOT CONNECT HIGH VOLTAGE POWER TO THESE BLOCKS. There are
protective PolySwitch breakers on the output signal lines and they will “open” up if
overloaded but circuits can still be damaged.

The 24 volt version of the Model 9500 can be connected in a three-wire configuration (four-
wire with temperature transmission). In this configuration the current signal common to
the flowmeter is eliminated and the common line for the output signal is connected at the
24 volt source negative. If plant regulations permit, the three-wire configuration could be
two wires plus shield for the common.

Output Signals
Terminals are provided for local instrument powered two-wire signals (positive and
common). If the Temperature Transmission option has been provided, a single wire
common connection may be used or two two-wire cables may be run. There are protective
PolySwitch breakers on all output signal lines and they will “open” up if overloaded but
circuits can still be damaged. When power is on if there is zero output current (there should
be at least four mA even through a current meter) disconnect the field wiring and check the
terminal block points for a voltage. Presence of a voltage (typically 20 to 30 volts) with no
current flow indicates that the PolySwitch breakers have been tripped. Power must be
turned off if the PolySwitch breakers are tripped in order for them to reset. They do not
need to be replaced as a fuse. Maximum load resistance is 500 ohms.

Flow - The 4-20 mA flow signal is at Terminal Block 2, the positive connection on point 1 (at
the top of Block 2) and the negative on point 2. The output current signal is 4 mA at

4
 zero flow and 20 mA at 100% of rated flow.

Temperature (optional) - The 4-20 mA temperature signal is at Terminal Block 3, the

positive connection on point 1 (at the top of Block 3) and the negative on point 2.

Startup Operation
With all connections having been completed and tested, a short but fast flow rate should be
obtained in order to clean gas bubbles and impurities from the flow tube.

CAUTION - Flow and transducer must be within 50 E C of operating temperature

before power is applied. Sensors may be damaged if transducer temperature is
below this limit and/or calibration may not be accurate.

Apply power and allow a ten (10) minute warm-up period.

The Appendix to this manual contains the Flow Calibration Curve which correlates the flow
rate versus the indication for this meter. When a factory calibration is provided it should
not be necessary to perform a calibration in the field. Field calibration instructions are
provided if it should be decided to use the meter with a different fluid.

Electronics Unit Field Service Details

Terminal Board (Figure 1 and Figure 2)

Figure 1 shows the component configuration for the two field wiring boards. Figure 2 depicts the
obsolete model and is shown for information purposes only.

All field wiring is made to the terminal board. There are two (optionally 3) terminal blocks.
Connect the input power to the three-position block TB1 according to TIC-436-1 the field wiring
diagram. Terminal Block TB2 carries the 4-20 mA flow signal and, if optionally ordered, TB3 carries
the 4-20 mA signal for the specified temperature range. Both current signals require a loop with a
maximum resistance of 500 ohms. The signals are powered by the internal electronics and must
not be connected to an external power supply.

Ferrite beads RF1 and RF2, capacitors C3 and C4 and RF3 through RF6 provide EMI (Electro-
Magnetic Interference) filtering for all external wiring paths.

DiodesD1 and D2 and Polyswitches PS6 and PS7 (auto reset thermal fuses) provide circuit
protection against accidental connection to an external voltage.

Flow Bridge Voltage Control Board (Figure 3)

The flow bridge voltage control board controls the flow transducer sensor and provides the non-
linear flow signal to the logic board.

In calibration, potentiometer R2 is set to balance the temperature sensor with the flow sensor at
the lowest temperature in the application range. A second pot R11 is set to balance the bridge at
the high extreme of the application temperature range. These two adjustments are
determined in calibration and should NOT be changed.

5
Logic Board (Figure 4)
The logic board converts the non-linear analog flow signal to a digital value, determines the linear
equivalent from the data stored in an Electronically Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM),
runs an 8-digit totalizer and outputs the linear flow data as an analog signal (4 to 20 mA) and a 5½
digit flow rate display. The totalizer can be reset with the push-button on the Logic Board or by
remote device through the digital programming interface.

R7 is adjusted so that the voltage on TB5 pin 1 is equal to the zero flow voltage from the flow
bridge.

Adjustment is then made to R11 so, when the maximum voltage is applied to the S+ input, the
voltage at TB5 pin 3 equals 4.096 volts.

Potentiometer R13 provides the 4 mA adjustment for the output current signal while R15 provides
the 20 mA adjustment.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED

IN INSTALLING FLOWMETER WIRING

When the Thermal Flowmeter or Probe is supplied with an explosion-proof

condulet, it must be installed with approved wiring techniques. This calls for seals
where the external wiring enters these condulets.

In the case where we have a large condulet on a Probe with multiple

connections, we will have a fitting with as large as a 1 2" pipe connection. If the
contractor is reducing this to 2" fittings, he must be sure that these reducers are
sealed with a suitable electrical or Teflon tape. In like manner, the connectors he
uses must be of the sealed conduit type.

Water entering the system from either the power wiring or the
interconnecting cable system is very serious and can do damage to the metering
system.

The explosion-proof type condulets are designed for that purpose only; they
are not waterproof and if the system is submerged, water will enter. In
applications where there is undue exposure, it may be well to go to auxiliary
covering or sealing mechanisms. This may merely mean a plastic coating, a
plastic bag, or in extreme cases a housing.

The same rules apply also where the external wiring enters the electronic
housings. These can be either the explosion-proof type, or the NEMA 4 type. In
either case adequate attention must be paid to sealing the electrical incoming
lines. The cover on the NEMA 4 case is gasketed in a very adequate manner.
However, in many cases the atmospheric and liquid leaks are at the point of entry
of the external wiring or through the conduit from the external wiring itself.

In cases where the NEMA 4 units are used in very hazardous atmospheres or
corrosive, it is advisable to purge the system to prevent corrosive attack on the
electronics.

CLASS I, GROUP D;
CLASS II, GROUPS E, F & G; NEMA 7 & NEMA 9

Adalet Sealing Fittings are used to isolate arc-producing devices from wiring
systems and to prevent the spread of explosive gases.

FOR VERTICAL MOUNTING

Types XY and XYM Fittings are for vertical mounting, and are provided with
threaded plugged openings into which the sealing cement is poured. Sizes
1-1/4” x 1-1/2” have large plugged openings in the lower hub to facilitate
packing fiber around the wires to form a dam. Type XYM’s have removable
threaded nipples. The two hubs are tapped simultaneously to assure
XY 2-3-4 XYM 2-3-4 alignment of the conduits, especially important to equipment manufacturers
using short runs of conduit.

FOR HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL MOUNTING

Type XYC Fittings are for horizontal mounting only, with the cover opening
in an upright position. XYCS fittings are for vertical or horizontal mounting,
with removable threaded covers which can be turned to the desired
position for pouring in the sealing cement. The covers are interchangeable.
The male-to-female types have removable threaded nipple.

The 9500P electronic signal conditioner output can be checked by simulating the voltage output of the
Flow sensor with an external DC voltage source.

1 Turn off power to electronics.

2 Remove push-on jumper across pins 4 and 5 of TB1 (located above Zero and Span Pots).

3 Connect an external variable DC voltage source, Negative to Pin 2 and Positive to Pin 5 (TB1).

4 Apply power to the electronics.

5 Locate the calibration specification sheet in the instruction manual labeled “Component Values Determined at Calibration”.

6 Turn on variable DC voltage source and set DC voltage to the 10% of full-scale flow rate transducer voltage (EXC). The display, if
available, should indicate the 10% of full scale flow rate. The DC mA Output should be 5.6mA (10%of scale). If the mA output is not
correct, adjust ZERO potentiometer R7 until 5.6 mA. Potentiometer R7 is adjacent to pin 1 of U3 chip.

7 Set the DC voltage to the 90% of full-scale flow rate transducer voltage (EXC). The display, if available should indicate the 90% of
full scale flow rate. The DC mA output should be 18.4 mA. If the mA output is not correct, adjust SPAN potentiometer R11 until 18.4
mA. Potentiometer R11 is located adjacent to capacitor C1. You may have to return to step #6 if any adjustments were made due to
the ZERO and SPAN potentiometers adjustments offset each other a little.

8 After the 10% and 90% of full-scale flow rates are checked, check 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 100% points.

9 Turn off power to the meter.

10 Disconnect the DC Voltage Source

11 Place jumper back on across pins 4 and 5 on TB1.

12 Turn on power to meter

13 If procedure does not prove satisfactory, recheck steps taken and if necessary contact Thermal Instrument Company for assistance

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting of a malfunctioning flowmeter is a process of isolating the particular

circuit area which is out of range and then finding the components causing the failure.
Before looking into possible circuit problems it will be profitable in most cases to first
determine that the problem is not internal to the electronics. As odd as it may sound,
most apparent flowmeter malfunctions are a result of incorrect installation or changes in
process operating conditions.

Typical installation problems are:

Fluid not flowing.

Flow rate for temperature out of calibration range.

Fluid not identical to calibration fluid.

(Ex: Air instead of CO2 or Water instead of Glycol)

Fluid has coated flow element.

(Ex: Very dirty gas or liquid that leaves a film or layers)

Flow element installed too close to upstream or downstream flow disturbance.

(Minimum 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream)

Power not on or incorrect voltage.

(Ex: Connecting 24 VDC in place of 110 VAC)

Flow Element wiring incorrect.

Output wiring incorrect.

For Installations that had been operating correctly it is frequently helpful to review the
above list since changes made to process, piping, or wiring have been know to effect
flowmeter performance.

If a problem has been identified from the above list and cannot be corrected, it will be
helpful to discuss the situation with Thermal Instrument Company for possible solutions
(new calibration or meter modifications).
