2 Features
• The measurement accuracy will not be infl uenced by the fl uid density, viscosity, temperature,
pressure and electrical conductivity changes;
• Open flow without moving parts in measuring pipe, no pressure loss;
• Simple structure, easy installation, no high requirements for straight pipe section;
• No mechanical inertia, with good sensitivity, it can measure the transient pulsating fl ux, and has good
linearity;
• Only the lining and electrodes contact with the media, as long as the selection of electrode and lining
materials is proper, they can be corrosion resistance and abrasive resistance, and are able to ensure
long-term use;
• Multi-electrode structure ensures high accuracy. With the grounding electrode, it doesn't need
grounding ring which saves the cost;
• When power off , EEPROM can protect parameter setting and cumulative values;
• The converter uses a low-power consumption single-chip for processing data which ensure the
reliable performance, high accuracy, low power consumption and zero stability. Dot matrix LCD can
display the integrated flux, transient flux, velocity, fl ow percentage and other parameters;
• Two-way measuring system can be used for measuring forward flux and reverse flux; low frequency
rectangular wave excitation improves the stability of flow, low power loss and superior low velocity
characteristic.
3 Working Principle
The working principle of Electromagnetic Flowmeter is based on Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic
Induction, that is, when the conductive liquid f ows through the electromagnetic f owmeter, the induced
electromotive force will be produced in the liquid conductor, and the induced electromotive force is
directly proportional to the velocity of conductive liquid, magnetic flux density and width of conductor
(interior diameter of flowmeter). Such induced electromotive force is detected by a pair of electrodes on
the tube wall of the flowmeter, and the equation of induced electromotive force is as follows:
U = K×B×V×D

7 Installation
The electromagnetic flowmeter must work under the condition of full pipe, and the flowmeter cannot work
normally when the pipe is not full or empty.
The correct installation method of the electromagnetic flowmeter should ensure that the pipe is filled with
liquid and should not be installed high on the pipe, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure6
In order to ensure the upstream piping conditions required for high accuracy measurement of the
flowmeter, the piping installation as shown in the figure below is recommended.
When there are valves at the front and rear of the flowmeter, the front and rear straight pipe must meet
the front 5D and rear 2D installation methods at least, and the valve must be fully open, as shown in
Figure 7.
Figure 7
When flowmeter is installed at the back end of T-tube, the flowmeter and T-tube shall have a minimum of
5D straight pipe segments, as shown in Figure 8
Figure 8
8
When the flowmeter is installed at the back end of 90°elbow pipe, at least 5D straight pipe are needed
between the flowmeter and the tail end of the elbow, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9
When the flowmeter is installed at the back end of the expanded diameter pipe, the flowmeter and the
back end of the expanded diameter pipe need to ensure a minimum of 10D straight pipe, as shown in
Figure 10.
Figure 10
When the flowmeter is installed at the back end of the valve and the valve is not fully open, the flowmeter
and the back end of the valve need to ensure a straight pipe section of at least 10D, as shown in Figure
11.
Figure 11
Installation Direction
When installing, the positive direction of liquid flow should generally be the same with the direction of the
arrow on the sensor, and there must be sufficient space for installation and maintenance near the
flowmeter. During installation, the flowmeter should be equipped with supports on both sides of the
pipeline to prevent the flowmeter from being stressed due to pipeline vibration, impact and contraction.
When installing the flowmeter, in general, with horizontal installation, please ensure the axis of the
measuring electrode is approximately horizontal; if the axis of the measuring electrode is perpendicular
to the ground, bubbles can easily build up near the upper electrode which is easy to block the liquid from
contacting the electrode below that is easily covered by mud or impurities. The converter is generally
installed above the pipeline to prevent water from entering the converter.
9
Figure 12 Flowmeter installation direction
When installing the flowmeter, please ensure the axis of the pipeline and the flowmeter measuring tube
are in the same straight line. If there is an angle between the two axes, the flange connection will not be
sealed well, and even the flange welding part will break
10
Noise Suppression
Do not install Electromagnetic Flowmeter near motors, transformers or power device which is easy to
cause induction interference.

11 Modbus communication
The flowmeter converter with Modbus protocol conforms to the Modbus RTU protocol. The
communication baud rate and communication address can be set by the customer according to the
network configuration. The users can use the computer (terminal) to manage and adjust the
parameters during operation through the Modbus protocol, and read the instantaneous flow and
cumulative flow. Refer to Table 9 for the read parameter address of the flowmeter. The communication
command uses the function code 03 (or 04) to read the display data.

For a multi-byte number transmission, use the BIG-ENDIAN format, that is, use the format with
high-weight bytes first and low-weight bytes after transmission. For example, a four-byte number
ABCDEF12H, the transfer order is: D0= ABH, D1=CDH, D2=EFH, D3=12H. Above D0, D1, D2, and D3
respectively correspond to D0, D1, D2, and D3 in the transmission data sequence described later.
For a two-byte number such as 12ABH, then D0=12H, D1=ABH.
For floating-point numbers, the format is IEEE 754 single-precision, and the transmission order is the
high byte first and then the low byte. The high byte is the byte where the sign bit and exponent bit in the
floating-point number are located, and the low byte is the byte where the mantissa is located.
According to the MODBUS protocol specification, the maximum number of data bytes allowed to be
transmitted in one communication is 250 (125 × 2).
