5.3 Static Test

If improper operation of the Magnetic Flowmeter is suspected, the following resistance measure-
ments can be made to establish whether an electrical malfunction has occurred. A standard multime-
ter is suitable for making the resistance checks. These measurements can be made at the
Connection board located in the base of the electronic housing.
Equipment that operates from AC line voltage constitutes a potential
electric shock hazard to the user. Make certain that the system power is
disconnected before making the following ohmmeter checks.

5.3.1 Magnet Coil Check

There are two magnet coils in the meter that are connected in a series arrangement. The respective
coil leads are brought up to lugs "M1" and "MR" (or "M3") on the Connection board in the meter
electronics base.
Before making resistance measurements, verify that the system power service has been de-ener-
gized. Remove the electronics housing cover to obtain access to the Connection board.
If a remotely mounted Signal Converter was supplied, proceed to step 1. If the Magnetic Flowmeter
is supplied with an integrally mounted Signal Converter, loosen and remove the four screws that hold
the Signal Converter to the base. Disconnect the plugs supplying signal (P1) and power (P3)
connections to the Converter and set the Converter aside. This will enable access to the Connection
board.
1) Set the ohmmeter to its lowest range; e.g., R x 1.
2) Connect the Ohmmeter test leads to terminal lugs M1 and MR (or M3) on the Connection board.
The value displayed should correspond to the value indicated in Table 5-1 ( ± 20%).
3) Connect the Ohmmeter test leads to terminal lugs CT and MR (or M3). The value displayed should
correspond to that obtained in Step 2 and the value indicated in Table 5-1 within ± 20%.
