Section 1
Introduction
Equipment Description
The LEFM 2xxCi ultrasonic flowmeters are highly sophisticated flow measurement systems
that employ ultrasonic transit time to measure fluid velocity and volumetric flow rate. They
use advanced signal and data processing circuitry that ensure high accuracy and repeatability.
The LEFM 2xxCi can be configured to indicate direction of flow via either a quadrature
pulse output or a digital signal.
The LEFM 2xxCi also contains automatic fault detection system for verifying performance
and alerting personnel when abnormal operating conditions are detected. For ease of
troubleshooting, the LEFM 2xxCi provides easy-to-interpret diagnostic information via
ModBus communications and the local display.
There are 3 categories of meters. These are:
 220Ci – 2 path ultrasonic flow meters
Note: Unless the topic is specific to only one particular model, this manual will typically
use the term “2xxCi”. As discussed in the manual, the 240CiRN (280CiRN) is a
special configuration of the 240Ci (280Ci) meter, but with a reduced bore for
improved accuracy at lower velocities and higher viscosities.
The LEFM 2xxCi flowmeter has two basic components or subsystems:
 a meter body, including up to eight pairs of transducers forming acoustic paths and a
temperature sensor.
 a transmitter(s) containing a readout display and acoustic data processing electronics.
Typically, the transmitter is mounted to the meter body at the factory and the assembly is
shipped as one instrument, ready for installation. Remote-mount units are available,
particularly when there are extreme temperatures at the meter itself.
This manual covers the following models or configurations. These models are described as
follows:
November 2010 Page 5 Section 1

Model 2xxCi: Transmitter mounted to the meter body. This model has a factory
installed seal between the transmitter and the meter body.
Model 2xxCiRN: Transmitter mounted to the meter body. This model has a factory
installed seal between the transmitter and the meter body. This model has a specially
designed bore that has a reduced diameter.
Model 2xxCi-R (2xxCiRN-R): Transmitter mounted remotely from the meter body
(see Section 2 for transmitter installation). This model has a factory installed seal
between the transmitter and a junction box for terminating cables from the meter
body.
Model 2xxCi LT-R (2xxCiRNLT-R): Transmitter mounted remotely from the

meter body. In this case, the meter body is likely to see extreme temperatures (see
Section 2 for transmitter installation). This model has a factory installed seal between
the transmitter and a junction box for terminating cables from the meter body.
Section 1 Page 6 November 2010

Models 2xxCi-R and 2xxCiLT-R require that the transmitter be mounted separately from the
meter body. In those instances the transmitter(s) and meter body are shipped separately.

LEFM 2xxCi Meter Body

The meter body or metering section, as it is sometimes referenced, contains up to eight pairs
of acoustic transducers and a temperature sensor (RTD).
The meter body is a specially designed section of pipe that contains pairs of housings that are
positioned to provide acoustic paths at an angle to the flow direction. They are spaced in
accordance with the Gaussian Method of flow integration. The transducers are installed
inside these housings.
Each transducer transmits and receives ultrasonic pulses (typically 1.0 MHz or 1.6 MHz).
The transducer modules contain piezoelectric crystals which transmit and receive acoustic
energy. The transducer modules may be removed from their housings for maintenance while
the meter body is in the pipeline without affecting the pressure boundary.

LEFM 2xxCi Transmitter
The transmitter houses the display that provides a reading of flow data including flow rate,
total flow volume, fluid properties, analog input data, alarm indication, fault detection, and
acoustic diagnostic information.
Figure 1.2: LEFM 2xxCi Transmitter with Sunshield Shown (280CiRN Shown as Typical)
The transmitter performs all control and timing for the generation and measurement of
acoustic pulses. Acoustic processing is performed by specialized proprietary boards that are
designed to achieve high sampling rates, provide stable ultrasonic signals, and eliminate zero
drift.
The transmitter offers the following inputs/outputs:
Standard volume pulse output

The K-factors used to configure transmitters at the factory are listed in. The user may
configure the K-factor to meet its needs.

Section 2
Installing Transmitter Remotely from Meter Body–Only

Models 2xxCi-R & 2xxCi LT-R
The physical properties, acoustic properties, and calibration of the meter

body are pre-programmed into the transmitter; therefore, the meter body and
transmitter are manufactured as a matched set and must be installed as a
CAUTION pair. Failure to install transmitters and meter bodies as matched sets can
result in erroneous flow measurements.
Should a customer receive multiple meter bodies and transmitters in one

shipment, the installer must verify that each transmitter is installed with the
meter body for which it was programmed.
Note All wiring between the transmitter and the meter body must be routed
through grounded metal conduit or equivalent according to site guidelines.
All wiring to the transmitter is to be routed in shielded conduit that meets site
environment specifications.
This section addresses the installation procedure for a transmitter separate from the meter
body. The following figure illustrates that configuration. The transmitter may be mounted
according to this section within 100 meters (300 feet). For distances further than 100 meters,
contact Cameron.

To replace the Power Supply and Display assembly, perform the following steps:
1. Unscrew and remove the lid from the display end of the enclosure (Figure 4.1).
2. Grasp the edges of the Display cover and gently pull to lift it from three hex standoffs
(Figure 4.2). The Power Supply and Display assembly will be visible.
3. Unscrew the three standoffs to free the Power Supply and Display assembly from the
transmitter body, and lift the assembly from the enclosure (Figure 4.3). Unscrew the
power regulator that is attached by wire to the display assembly. The power regulator has
a plastic (non-conductive screw) and an insulator (typically mica material) between it and
the enclosure. Save these parts.

4. Remove the new assembly from its packaging. Connect the new power regulator to the
enclosure with the original screw and insulator. Align the mounting holes with the
standoffs that remain inside the enclosure.
5. Reinstall the three hex standoffs that were removed in step 3, screwing them into the
holes provided in the power supply board (the large board at the back of the assembly).
6. Align the plastic connectors on the back of the display cover with the three hex standoffs
and snap the display cover into place.
7. Replace the lid on the enclosure.

BIB, perform the following steps:
1. Unscrew and remove the rear cover to reveal the BIB and the user terminations (Figure
4.5).
2. Remove the connections to TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB4.
3. Remove the three Phillips head screws connecting the BIB to the rear access panel
(Figure 4.6).
4. Carefully lift the BIB board from the enclosure. In doing so, you will detach the
connector on the back of the BIB that connects the BIB to the underlying Input/Output
board. The IOB is hidden from view by the rear access panel; only the IOB connector
that fits through a cutout in the rear access panel is visible when the BIB is removed.
5. Remove the new BIB from its packaging and attach it to the rear access panel with the
three screws removed in step 3.
6. Replace the connections to TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB4.
7. Replace the rear cover on the transmitter.

Figure 4.5: Rear Cover Removal
Figure 4.6: Backplane Interface Board (BIB) Removal

Acoustic Processor Board (IOB, CTC & MXR) Replacement

WARNING
The transmitter has a real time clock that has battery backup. It is
recommended to replace the complete circuit board if the battery ever fails.
Do not replace the battery alone. It must be replaced with the identical
WARNING battery (Panasonic CR1632 coin battery) and it must never be changed in a
hazardous location area.
CAUTION
1. Remove the rear cover from the transmitter and remove the backplane interface board
(BIB) according to the procedure above. The BIB has incoming power protection circuits
that could possibly be damaged by extreme power excursions.
2. Place the BIB in an ESD resistant jacket/packaging and store it in a safe location.
3. Push site cabling aside as required. (Note: It is assumed that the conduit and site cabling
will be installed.) Remove the three hex standoffs holding the rear access panel in place
(Figure 4.7) and lift the panel from the enclosure. The three acoustic processing boards
(IOB, CTC, and MXR as installed left to right) are now visible.
4. Identify the board requiring replacement. The end of the board farthest from the operator
is attached to a connector deep inside the transmitter body. To remove a board, simply
grasp the board and gently pull in a back-and-forth motion until it releases from the
connector (Figure 4.8).
Note the orientation of the board removed, as the new board must be inserted in the same
position, since the connector is keyed.
5. Remove the new board from its packaging, determine the proper orientation for
installation, and carefully guide it into the connector inside the transmitter.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary, to install multiple boards.
7. Carefully replace the rear access panel that was removed in step 3, adjusting the position
of the interior boards as necessary until the rear access panel fits snugly against them.
When the rear access panel is positioned properly, the middle and bottom interior boards
(the CTC and MXR boards) will lock into the thin cutouts in the rear access panel.
8. Re-install the three hex standoffs in the rear access panel.
9. Replace the BIB and attach it to the rear access panel with the three screws removed in step 1.
10. Replace the connections to TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB4.
11. Replace the rear cover on the transmitter. Tighten securely.

Figure 4.7: Rear Access Panel Removal
Figure 4.8: IOB, CTC, MXR Board Removal
Following replacement of the CTC board, the “safe mode” readout may
appear in the transmitter display. This is an indicator that the configuration
data has not been uploaded to the transmitter. See Error! Reference source not
CAUTION found. in the LEFMLink (or PocketLink) manual, for downloading the
configuration file.

Transducer Installation
Never open the manifold when the instrument is energized. Before

so may result in electrical shock and/or an explosion.
WARNING
If re-installing the manifold cover, all socket head screws must be installed
with a torque of 30 in-lbs (3.4nm).
WARNING
1. Power down the LEFM and disconnect the failed transducer from the terminals in the
junction box (note upstream and downstream junction boxes).
2. Remove the M8 socket head screws from the manifold cover and remove the manifold
cover to reveal the transducer internals.

3. Remove the socket head screws from the manifold cover and remove the manifold cover
to reveal the transducer internals.
4. Remove the transducer internals using an O-ratchet T-socket head (½-in. socket for the
½-in. or 12.5-mm transducer housing and ¾-in. socket for the 1-in. or 25-mm transducer
housing).
5. Replace the transducer.
6. Verify the transducer housing is clean and free from dirt.
7. Re-install the transducer internals as follows.
a. Thread the wires of the transducer though the compression spring and the spacer.
b. Apply silicone lubricant to the transducer face or metal foil for cryogenic/high
temperature applications.
c. Insert the transducer and components into the housing until the parts bottom out.
d. Route the wires though the compression screw and then apply lubricant to the threads.
e. Screw into the transducer housing and tighten. This will load the compression spring.
8. Connect the new transducer to the terminals.
9. Re-install the manifold and junction box cover, if applicable.
10. Torque the socket head screws to 30 in-lbs (3.4 nm).

Appendix A
ATEX Certifications (Document IB1008-A)

The following ATEX certifications describe the conditions for safe use of the meter manifold
and the transmitter. The temperature ranges listed are for the enclosures indicated on the
certificate. The temperature limit of the meter assembly is dependent on the temperature
limits for the components used to connect the meter to the electronics. Components with
temperature limits that are more stringent than those of the meter assembly may limit the
temperatures under which the assembled meter may be operated safely. See the meter
nameplate for the temperature limit of an assembled system.
