GENERAL INFORMATION The EX80-Series are electromagnetic insertion flow sensors for use in conductive liquids in pipe sizes 1” to 10” (25mm to 250 mm.) Lacking moving parts, they are well suited for applications with par ticulates in the fluid that are problematic for impellers or turbines. Other advantages are insensitivity to viscosity and tolerance for pulsating flows such as with air-driven diaphragm pumps. Fittings.
INSTALLATION DISTORTED FLOWS Faster Flow Causes Meter To Read High Meter Installation. After the meter fitting is installed in the pipeline, the meter can be installed in the fitting. After noting the direction of the flow arrow, press the meter into the fitting as far as it will go. Retain the meter in place by inserting the u-pin. The pin can be installed from either side. It may be necessary to rotate the probe back and forth slightly to start the pin into the slots on the probe.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS General Electrical Guidelines: Reverse Flow Output: Reverse flow output is available as an option. This open-collector isolated output does not supply power. It functions like a polarity-sensitive switch closure. Note: This output is limited to 6 mA at 30 Vdc maximum. • Whenever possible avoid running control cables in the same conduit with AC power. • Using shielded cable, be sure that one end is grounded.

OPERATION & Maintenance Zero Adjustment. When the EX81 or 82 is powered up and there is no flow, there should be no output pulses (or, if connected to the FT420, flow rate should read “0”). If there are pulses it may be necessary to adjust the flow meter under no-flow conditions after it has been installed. This should only be done if the indicated flow is low, near the lower cutoff.
