Product catalog summary

Safety Precautions and Instructions: The manual highlights the importance of safety symbols to indicate potential hazards. Warnings are for severe risks, while cautions indicate minor risks. Following instructions is crucial for safety.

System Description: The M-5000 electromagnetic flow meter is used for fluid metering in various industries. It includes a detector with a flow tube and electrodes, and an amplifier for signal processing. Materials must match service specifications, and each meter is factory-tested with a calibration certificate.

Unpacking and Inspection: Inspect the meter for damage upon receipt and verify shipment contents. Report any damage within 48 hours. PTFE liners have protectors that should remain until installation. Store the meter in a dry location within specified temperature ranges.

Rigging, Lifting, and Moving: Use appropriate methods for lifting large units to avoid damage. Use soft straps or lifting lugs as specified, and avoid improper use of forklifts.

Meter Location, Orientation, and Applications: The M-5000 offers integral and remote amplifier mounting options. Outdoor installations require protection from elements. Avoid locations with extreme vibrations or electrical interference. Ensure proper cable placement and access for maintenance.

Pipelines and Fluid Flow: Install meters away from flow disturbances and avoid suction sides of pumps. Ensure secure cable connections and separate power and signal conduits.

Meter Orientation: Meters can be installed in any orientation but perform best vertically to prevent sediment build-up. Horizontal installations should account for the "Empty Pipe Detection" feature, which halts measurement if electrodes are uncovered.

Installation Guidelines: Position the flow-measuring electrode axis horizontally to prevent sediment accumulation. Ensure straight pipe runs: three diameters upstream and two downstream for optimal accuracy.

Pipe Reducer and Chemical Injection: Standard concentric pipe reducers require no special installation, but custom reducers should have a 15-degree slope. For chemical injection, install the meter upstream of the injection point or 50-100 feet downstream.

Partially-Filled Pipe Situations: Avoid installing the meter at the highest point of the pipeline or in vertical downward flow sections. ON/OFF valves should be downstream of the meter.

Grounding and Gaskets: Proper grounding is crucial, especially for non-conductive pipes, which require grounding rings. Use gaskets between the detector's isolating liner and the pipeline flange, avoiding electrically conductive sealing compounds.

Amplifier Mounting Options: The amplifier can be mounted directly on the detector or remotely. Remote mounting is recommended for high-temperature environments or when the meter is installed in a vault.

Wiring and Power: Keep wiring short, using twisted pair shielded wire. The M-5000 uses a battery pack with a life expectancy of 3 months to 10 years, depending on sampling frequency. Battery replacement involves saving totalizers, replacing the battery pack, and resetting configurations.

Output Configuration: The M-5000 supports digital outputs and communication via RS232 Modbus RTU. Outputs are configurable for pulse width and frequency, with alarms for high/low flow and empty pipe conditions.

Programming and Security: The amplifier is pre-programmed but can be customized using function buttons. Security features include PIN protection for different access levels: Administration, Service, and User.
