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.
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.
a meter body, including up to eight pairs of transducers forming acoustic paths and a
temperature sensor.
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:
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.

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.
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.
Both the transmitter and the meter body have nameplates that identify and define the
subcomponents.

The installation requires field wiring to connect the meter body terminations to the
transmitter. Both the meter body and transmitter are installed with junction boxes (J-Box) for
the field terminations. The transmitter and its junction box must be mounted according to
site seismic rules/guidelines.
The terminations discussed in this section are within the junction boxes associated with the
meter body and transmitter. For all other terminations (e.g., power, serial communications
etc.), go to Section 3, “Transmitter Installation Procedure.”
Before terminating wires, open the power supply circuit breaker. Failure to
do so can result in electrical shock and/or explosion.
WARNING
If ATEX approved glands are to be used, they shall be types that include
compound filled seals around individual cores. (Refer to EN 60079-14 clause

1. Verify all field terminations have proper continuity and isolation from each other and
earth. Verify connections are good with respect to insulation.
2. Verify electronics turn on. On the display, only the top two LEDs (LED1 and LED2)
should be lit and the display is working.
3. Verify ModBus communications are operational. (Use LEFMLink software to test
ModBus communications via the IR port or RS-485 connection.)
4. Verify meter operation according to the “Operation and Maintenance Manual”.
Section 4
Maintenance
WARNING
Introduction
The troubleshooting and maintenance procedures must comply with the safety and hazardous
area requirements of this section. The typical maintenance procedures are discussed in the
“Operation and Maintenance Manual”.
Never open the transmitter or the meter body manifold when the instrument
is energized. Before inspecting components, open the power supply circuit
breaker. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock and/or an explosion.
WARNING
CAUTION
To open and close the transmitter, perform the following steps to comply with hazardous
location requirements:
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.
CAUTION
The fuses of the BIB (incoming power) are replaceable. The fuses are designed to fail if
120VAC or 230VAC are ever inadvertently put into the input power. These fuses are located
in the lower right side of the BIB. To replace the fuse, remove fuse with an IC puller or
tweezers. Press replacement fuse into the fuse holder.
CAUTION
The Backplane Interface Board (BIB) is located just beneath the rear cover. To replace the
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.
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.
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.
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.
