2. Parameter Setting
2.1Flow setup
2.1.1 Flow Unit Flow Unit is selectable in flow parameter:L/s、L/m、L/h、m3/s、m3/m、m3/h;
2.1.2 Flow Total Unit
Converter display is counter with 9 bits, and the max is 999999999.

Flow integrator value: 0.001L、 0.010L、 0.100L、 1.000L

0.001m3、 0.010m3、 0.100m3、 1.000m3 ;

2.1.3 Clear Total Key

User use more than 3 byte code to enter ,Then set this password in Clear total key
2.1.4 Meter Factor
This fact is the special one of sensor-made-factory and the factory use this fact to unite L_Mag D

electromagnetic flow meters converters to make sure all the instruments can interchange by 0.1%.

2.1.5 Zero correction

Make sure the sensor is full of flow, and the flow is stillness. Flow zero is shown as velocity of flow, mm/s.

Converter’s zero-flow correction displays like this:

Upper small words: FS means measure value of zero;

Lower large words: correction value of zero.

When FS is not “0”, make FS = 0. Note: if change the value on next line and FS increases, please change the

6
“+, -” to correct FS to zero.

Flow zero is the compound value of the sensor, and should be recorded in sensor list and band. The unit will

be mm/s, and the sign will be opposite with correction value.

2.1.6 Low Flow cutoff

Flow cutoff is set in percentage of Upper Limit Range of flow, and users can delete all Negligible Small

Signals of flow volume, velocity and percentage out of displaying and outputting them. Sometimes user can

delete output of current output signal and frequency (pulse) output signal only to have flow, velocity and

percentage being displayed.

2.1.7 Flow Direction

If users think the direct and design are differ, just change the direct parameter is OK, but not change exciting

or signal.
2.1.8 Flow Filter Time
It means time of filter measure value. The long one can enhance the stability of flow display and output

digital, and fits for gross add up of pulse flow; the short one means fast respond rate, and fits for production

control. It is selectable 1S、2S、3S、4S、6S、8S、10S、15S、30S、60S.

2.1.9 Flow Range
Flow range means upper limit value, and lower limit value is set “0” automatically. So, it makes the range,

and makes the relation of percent display, frequency output and current output with flow:

percent display = ( flow measure / measure range) * 100 %;

frequency output = ( flow measure / measure range) * frequency full;

current output = ( flow measure / measure range) * current full + base point;

pulse output will not affect.

2.1.10 Reverse Flow En.
When “Reverse Flow En” is “enable”, if the flow flows, the sensor will export pulse and current。When it is

“disable”, the sensor will export pulse as “0” and current as “0”(4mA or 0mA) for the flow flows reversals.

2.2 Alarm setup

2.2.1 High alarm Ena.
Users can choose “Enable” or “Disable”
2.2.2 High alarm Val.
The parameter of upper limit alarm is percentage of flow range and can be set in the way of setting one

numerical value.When the value of flow percentage is larger than the value of setting value, the converter

7
outputs the alarm signal.
2.2.3 Snsr MT Range
When actual MT value is too small, user can adjust the empty pipe range. While doing this,please make sure

no liquid in the pipe.

It will display as below：

Upper Line:MR stand for the measure value of the empty pipe range.

Below Line:stand for modified value of empty pipe range

If increase modified value on the below line, MR will increase; If decrease modified value on the below

line,MR will decrease. User can adjust MR to a suitable value( suggest to adjust to around MR=500),then

actual MTP near to actual modified MR.

2.2.4 Snsr MT Zero

When the pipe is full of liquid (whether flowing or not), the parameter of “Snsr MT” could be modified more

easily. The parameter displayed upper line is real MTP, and the parameter displayed bellow is the “Snsr MT

alarm” that should be set. When setting “Snsr MT alarm”, you could be according to the real MTP, the value

that should be set is usually three to five times of real MTP.

When the pipe is full of liquid,user can adjust empty pipe zero point. When doing this,please make sure the
sensor is full of liquid, and it will display as below:

Upper Line: MZ standard for the measure value of empty pipe zero point
Below Line: Modified value of empty pipe zero point

Firstly,according to the actual MT value,adjust the modified value to make MZ=5~10 around (Noted:If add
below line modified value,MZ value will be smaller).
2.2.5 Snsr MT alarm
When the pipe is full of liquid (whether flowing or not), the parameter displayed upper line is real MTP, and
the parameter displayed below is the “Snsr MT alarm” that should be set. When setting “Snsr MT alarm”, you
could be according to the real MTP, the value that should be set is usually three to five times of real MTP
2.2.6 .Snsr measure Ena.
The state of empty pipe can be detected with the function of converter and do not need additional electrode. If

user select System alarm enable,then when the fluid is lower than electrode, the flow meter can detect as

8
empty pipe state.If the pipe is empty, the signals of analog output and digital output would be zero and

displayed flow would be zero.

2.2.7 System Alarm Ena.
Selecting Enable will have the function, and selecting Disable will cancel the function.
2.2.8 Alarm Low Value
The same as upper limit alarm.

2.3 Output setup

2.3.1 Digital output
Frequency output range corresponding to upper limit flow:percent flow 100%. Frequency output upper limit

can be set between 1～10000Hz.

2.3.2 Analog Out.Test
After adjusting analog zero and analog range,user can use this parameter to test the linearity of the output
current. User can set 0，20.00，50.00，70.00，99.99 to check the output current linearity.

2.3.3 Analog Range CRC

When the converters is made in the factory, output current have been calibrated to full scale, that is, accurate

20mA output.
2.3.4 Analog Zero CRC
Adjust analog output zero point,to accurate at 4mA.
2.3.5 Analog Output
Analog Output type: 4~20mA.
2.3.6 Pulse Output
Two kinds of Pulse Outputs are can be chosen: Frequency Output and Pulse Output. Frequency Output is

continuous square waveform and Pulse output is a serial wave of square wave. Frequency output is mainly

used for instant flow and total integrated flow in short time measurement. Frequency output can be chosen in

equivalent frequency unit and volume of integrated flow can be displayed. Frequency Output can be used in

long time measurement for total integrated flow with volume units.

Frequency output and pulse output are usually from OC gates so that DC power supplies and load resistors

have to be required.
2.3.7 Pulse Width
Pulse output is active low. Pulse width:1---9999ms
Pulse Width—Max Output Pulse Number（Chart 2）
No. Pulse Width（ms） Max Output Pulse Number/hour（p/h）

5.13 Digital output and calculate

Digital output means frequency output and pulse output, and both of them use the same output point, so user

can choose only one type of them but not both.

5.13.1 Frequency output:

Frequency output range is 0～5000HZ, and corresponding the percent of flux.

Measure value
F=  frequency range
Full scale value
The upper limit of frequency output can be adjusted. It can be chosen from 0 ~ 10000HZ, and also can be

chosen low frequency: such as 0 ~ 1000HZ or 0 ~ 5000HZ.

Frequency output mode general can be used in control application, because it responses the percent flux.

Users can choose pulse output when the equipment is applied to count.

5.13.2 Pulse output mode

Pulse output mainly applies in count mode. A pulse output delegates a unit flux, such as 1L or 1M3 etc.

Pulse output unit can be set from range 0.001L~59.999m3 .When users choose the pulse unit, they should

notice the match of the flux range of flow meter and pulse unit. For volume flux, count formula as follows:

QL = 0.0007854 × D2 × V （L/S）

QM = 0.0007854 × D2 × V × 10-3（M3/S）

D-nozzle（mm） V-velocity（m/s）

The oversize flux and too small pulse unit will be made the pulse output over the up limit. Generally, pulse

output should be controlled below 500Hz. However, the too small flux and too large pulse unit will be made

the instrument exports a pulse long time. Detailed setting can refer to the chart of “Pulse width-Maximum

output pulse number”.

Otherwise, pulse output is different from frequency output. When pulse output cumulates a pulse unit, it

exports a pulse. Therefore, pulse output is not equality. Generally, measure pulse output should choose to

count instrument, but not frequent instrument.

17
5.13.3 The connection of digital output

Digital output has two connected points: digital output connected point, digital ground point, and symbol as

follows:

POUT ----- digital output point;

ICOM ----- digital ground point;

POUT is open collector output, user may refer to next circuit to connect.

5.13.4 The connection of digital voltage output

5.13.5 Digital output connect photo electricity coupling (PLC etc.)

Commonly user’s photo electricity coupling current is about 10mA, so about E/R=10mA, E=5～24V

5.13.6 Digital output connect relay

18
Commonly relay needs E as 12V or 24V. D is extend diode, now most middle relays has this diode inside. If

not have, user can connect one outside.

Table of digital output parameter:

POUT

Frequency 0 5000 7500 HZ
Vcc=24V

High voltage IC=100mA Vcc Vcc Vcc V

Low voltage IC=100mA 0.9 1.0 1.4 V

5.14 Simulation signal output and calculate

5.14.1 Simulation signal output

Simulation signal output:4~20mA signal.

Simulation signal output inner is 24V , it can drive 750Ω resistance.

The percent flux of simulation signal output:

Measure value
I0 =  the scale of current + the zero point of current
Full scale value

For 4～20mA signal，current zero is 4mA

It can be advanced simulation signal output distinguish. User can select the range of measure.

Parameters before ex-factory, manufacturer have already set the suitable parameters. In normal case,there’s

no need to adjust anymore.If have abnormity, it can consult as below:

5.14.2 Simulation Signal Output Adjust

（1）The Converter adjust preparative

（2）Current zero correct

When the converter getting into parameter setting, selecting to “Analog Zero” and enter to it. The standard

of signal fountain getting to “0”.Adjust parameter make ampere meter is 4mA(±0.004mA).

（3）The full scale current correct

To select “Analog Range” to enter.Adjust the converter parameter make ampere meter is

20mA(±0.004mA)

Adjust the current zero and the full range, the current function of the converter reached exactness.The

line degree of current output of conversion should be controlled within the scope of 0.1%

（4）Current line degree checking

You can place the standard signal source in 75%、50%、25%,and check the line degree of current output

※ Note ： After L-mag D Electromagnetic flow meter converter 、 sensor be connected to fluid

pipeline(whatever for calibration or normal use),Please follow below steps first:

 Use copper line to connect the pipeline before the sensor and pipeline after the sensor tightly.

 Make sure sensor grounding well

 When set the zero point,make sure the liquid in the pipeline is static

 Make sure the electrode oxidation film inside sensor is stable(Usually make the electrode and liquid

continuously connect more than 48hours is ok)

6. Alarm Information
PCB of electromagnetic flow meters converters uses SMT, so for user, it is unable to service, and cannot open

the shell of converter.

L-mag D Intelligent converters have self-diagnose function. Without trouble of power and hardware
circuit, the normal trouble can be alarmed correctly. This information displays on the left of LCD. The trouble

is like this:

SYS ---- System exciting alarm.； MTP ---- Flow empty pipe alarm；

CUT ---- Small signal Cut Alarm； REV ---- Reverse Flow Cut Alarm
20
 HIG ---- Flow high limit alarm； LOW---- Flow low limit alarm

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 No display
a) Check the power supply connection;

b) Check the power fuse to see for OK;

c) Check the contrast of LCD and regulate it to working state;

7.2 Exciting alarm

a) Check if the exciting cables EX1 and EX2 did not connected;

b) Check if the total resistance of sensor’s exciting coil resistances less than 150Ω;

c) If a) and b) are OK, the converter is failed.

7.3 Empty pipe alarm

* If measured fluid full of testing pipe of sensor;

* When shorting circuit three connectors SIG +, SIG -, SGND of converter, and no “Empty Alarm”

displayed then the converter works OK. In this case, it is possible that conductivity of measured fluid

may be small or empty threshold of empty pipe and range of empty pipe are set wrongly.

* Check if the signal cable is OK;

* Check if the electrode-poles are OK or not.

Let the flow is zero, then the displayed conductivity should be less than 100%.

Resistances of SIG+ to SGND and SIG- to SGND are all less than 50kΩ (conductivity of water)

during measurement operation. (It is better to test the resistances by means of multimeter with pointer

to see the charging process well.)

* The DC voltage should be less than 1V between DRS+ and DRS- testing the voltage by means of

multimeter. If DC voltage is larger than 1V, the electrode poles of sensor were polluted that have to be

cleaned.

21
7.4 Flow measurement inaccuracies

Nonlinear Amendment function Additional Instruction
Nonlinear amendment function，in principle is used for line regulation of low flow which under 0.5m/s. The

function is designed to four amendments, and divided into four flow velocity points and four correction

factors.

Nonlinear amendment coefficient works on the basis of the original transducer calibration coefficient, so

please close nonlinear amendment function before calibrating the transducer coefficient, and open the

function to realize nonlinear amendment after calibrating. Set correction points and correction factors

according to the nonlinear segment of transducer, if be the appropriate settings, do not have to re-calibration.

As a rule, the flow velocity which calculated form transducer coefficient is called original flow velocity, and

the other which gained from non-linear amendment is called correction flow velocity. The relationship

between them is shown as following:

a. Correction point 1 > Original flow velocity ≥ Correction point 2:

Correction flow velocity = Correction coefficient 1 × Original flow velocity

b. Correction point 2 > Original flow velocity ≥ Correction point 3:

Correction flow velocity = Correction coefficient 2 × Original flow velocity

c. Correction point 3 > Original flow velocity ≥ Correction point 4:

Correction flow velocity = Correction coefficient 3 × Original flow velocity

d. Correction point 4 > Original flow velocity ≥ 0:

Correction flow velocity = Correction coefficient 4 × Original flow velocity

Notice: Correction points must satisfy the following relationship:

Correction point 1＞Correction point 2＞Correction point 3＞Correction point 4

The intermediate value of correction coefficient is 1.0000，when bigger than it is considered as positive

22
coefficient (increase), and smaller is considered as negative coefficient (decrease).

Parameters of converters can decide the running status, process and output ways as well as state of output. Correct option and

setting of parameters can keep the converters running optimally and get higher accuracy of output bother in display and in

measurement.

There are 5 grades of passwords for setting parameters function. Grades 1 to grade 4of passwords are for users and grade 5

of password is for manufacturer. Users can reset their passwords of grades 1~4 in grade

Users can check converters parameters in any grade of password. However, if users want to change parameters pf converters,

different grade of parameters have to be used by the users.

Grade 1 of password (set by manufacturer as 00522): users can only read parameter;

Grade 2 of password (set by manufacturer as 03210);

Grade 3 of password (set by manufacturer as 06108);
Grade 4 of password (set by manufacturer as 07206);
Grade 5 of password (Fixed)：users can change with reference above parameters.
