    6. Operation Do not touch the terminal board when power is supplied. Touching the terminal board when power is supplied can DON’T cause electric shock. Preparatory check Follow the procedure described below to prepare before starting the flow measurement (described with regard to the entire flowmeter).

  • Page 39: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Wiring while power is applied can cause electric shock. DON’T WARNING CAUTION Do not touch the LF414/LF600F, LF610F and LF414 main body when high temperature fluid is being measured. The fluid raises the main body temperature and can cause burns.

    π × D Therefore, volumetric flow rate is directly proportional to the induced voltage. The LF414/LF600F, LF414/LF610F and LF414 uses the square-wave excitation method, which provides long-term stable operation. With square-wave excitation, the LF414/LF600F, LF414/LF610F and LF414 offers reliable measurement without being affected by electrostatic or electromagnetic interference, or electrochemical polarization between the electrodes and the fluid to be measured.
