Totalizer & Pulse Setting

Function:
– Totalizer is to set the display accuracy
– Pulse is to set the pulse output
Limitation: 0.0001 to 10,000 pps.
Selection:
– n Unit / p ~ 10-9 X FU
– µ Unit / p ~ 10-6 X FU
– m Unit / p ~ 10-3 X FU
– Unit / p ~ FU
– k Unit / p ~ 103 X FU
– M Unit / p ~ 106 X FU
– Pulse / s ~ Number of pulses to be counted for one
second at 100% output

Totalizer & Pulse Setting Example

Flow rate: 200 m3/h

Configuration 1:
– D10: Unit /p
– D11: 1
– The display will increase every 1 m3 flow pass through
the meter.
– If flow rate is 200 m3/h (0.056 m3/s), thus 1 m3 can be
achieve is 18 s. Frequency: 0.056 Hz.

Rate Limit & Dead Time

Rate Limit
– Used where sudden noise (slurry) cannot be eliminated by
increasing the damping time constant.
Dead Time
– This parameter sets the time for application of the rate limit. If
value of 0 is set, the rate limit function will be terminated.

Pre-Operation Zero Adjustment

To ensure that the output for zero flow is 0%.


Must be carried out following the installation of
piping in order to match the magnetic flowmeter
to its operating conditions.
Zero adjustment should only be carried out when
the flow tube has been filled with fluid and the
fluid velocity is completely zero.
Each time that the fluid being measured is
changed, it will be necessary for zero adjustment
to be carried out for the new fluid.

Combination between AE Flow Tubes and AXFA

Do the flow tube performance check


Obtain the meter factors:
– Redoing flow calibration at Yokogawa's factory
– By using the meter factors of AE
The wiring is the same as in the case of
connecting AXF flow tubes with AXFA14.
Set the following parameters to AXFA14:
– Set both "C21: Low MF" and "C22: High MF" as meter
factors.
Perform Auto Zero.

Amplifier Card Calibration Using AM012

This can be done with AXFA11 or AXFA14.


Connect as shown in the picture.
Connect AM012 power cable. Ground AM012 to protect from external noise.
Power up AM012 and let it warm up for 10 minutes.
Set Low MF and High MF to 1.000.
Check velocity span on the AXFA14 or AXFA11.
Set velocity span on the AM012.
Turn the output knob to 0% to check zero point.
Turn the output knob to 25%, 50%, 75% & 100% and check indicated value.
Return Low MF and High MF Value to its original value.

Excitation Coil & Insulation Resistance Check

Before checking of the excitation coil & insulation resistance, be sure that:
– That power supply has been turned off.
– To disconnect all cables from the terminals.
Excitation Coil Check
– Check that there is continuity between terminals EX1 and EX2. If there is no
continuity, the coils may be broken and replacement or repair of the flow tube is
necessary. The coil resistance is designed to be 150 Ω or less.
Insulation Resistance Check
– Check the insulation resistances in the terminal box in accordance with the tables
below. If any of them falls below the values listed in the tables, consult Yokogawa’s
sales or service offices for investigation. If the insulation resistance cannot be
restored, replacement or repair of the flow tube is needed.
– Coil circuit (pipe is filled with fluid).

– Signal circuit (pipe is empty and dry, and there is no adhesive material).
