1. Definition
Votex Flowmeter is widely used for gas, steam and liquid fields. With flange or wafe
r connection and without moving parts, the fault rate of Votex Flowmeter is low. The
standard Votex Flowmeter includes local display, flowrate, totalizer, 4-20mA and pu
lse output.
The microprocessor design, with temp./pressure compensation, can filter out erron
eous signals as well as interference caused by pipe vibration.
2. Measuring Principle
Votex Flowmeter is developed by Von Kaman.
Measuring Principle: when fluid passes through baffle in flowmeter, the two sides of
baffle will produce two lines of vortexes, which are alternate and proportional to flo
w velocity, use piezoelectric sensor to measure the freed frequency of vortexes, an
d then display flowrate after amplification and reforming by signal receiver.

1. Try best to keep away from strong power equipment, high frequency & variable freq
uency equipment, strong power switch equipment;
2. Try best to keep away from high-temp. heat source, radiation heat source; Outdoor i
nstallation should be adumbral and rainproof.
3. Try best to keep away from vibration places, strong corrosive environments, etc.; An
d the places should be easy installation and maintenance.

If there is throttle valve on flowmeter upstream,make sure the distance between flow
meter and throttle valve is 50 times of pipe size and behind flowmeter, there should be
straight tube of 5 times of pipe size at least.

Grounding:
AVF7000 should have good grounding to clear up noise interference(as followin
g pics). Just ground the housing of amplifier head and the sensor do not need gr
ounding. The earth points: stairs, handrails, etc..
