    1.2 Storage To store the LF150 detector after opening the package but you will install it at a later date, select a storing place as follows and keep it under the conditions as described: (1) Avoid the place where there is direct sunlight, rain or wind.

  • Page 9: Overview

    The detector and converter can be mounted separately as independent units. Features The LF150 flange-type electromagnetic flowmeter has the following features: There is no pressure loss even if a flowmeter detector is installed in the pipeline. It is possible to measure the flow of the fluid containing solid materials such as sludge or slurries.

  • Page 16 ６Ｆ８Ａ０９１６ (2) Pipe Orientation The detector may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping pipe runs as shown in Figure 4.2. However, except for horizontal installation, fluid should flow from lower to upper directions. If no air bubble, Vertical down flow application are acceptable under pressured piping conditions.
  • Page 17 ６Ｆ８Ａ０９１６ (3) Flow Direction Install the detector in accordance with the flow direction arrow on the detector. (4) Full Pipe Condition Design an upright pipe run (Figure 4.4) or enough water head (Fig. 4.5) at the downstream detector outlet if there is a possibility of the detector pipe being emptied.

  • Page 18: Wiring

    4.2 Wiring IMPORTANT The grounding terminal of the LF150 detector must be grounded with less than 100 ohm ground resistance. A grounding wire should be as short as possible. Avoid a common ground used with other equipment where earth current may flow. An independent ground is preferable.
  • Page 19 ６Ｆ８Ａ０９１６ 4.2.2 Wiring Procedure IMPORTANT For the detector whose cables are already wired at the time of shipment, the following wiring procedure is not needed. Therefore, do not open the terminal housing cover. Signal Cable Termination Use a signal cable specified in Table 4.3 and follow the procedure below referring to Figure 4.6.
  • Page 20 ６Ｆ８Ａ０９１６ Exciting Cable Use an exciting cable specified in Table 4.3 and follow the procedure below referring to Figure 4.7. (1) Strip the cable sheath about 40 mm to expose black, white and red wires. (2) Strip each end of wire about 5 mm to expose stranded copper wire and attach an M4-size ring lug terminal on each end of wire.
  • Page 21 ６Ｆ８Ａ０９１６ Then tighten the cable connection with a wrench. Tightening torque should be limited to that which is sufficient to produce a positive seal for the cable connection. (5) Repeat (2) to (4) to wire the exciting cable. (6) Making sure both cables are wired correctly, close the terminal housing cover with the four retaining screws.
