1. General Description
1.1. Preface
This instruction manual should be carefully read before the operation of the equipment
is started. It should be kept in the vicinity of the device described, easily accessible to
all persons concerned.
It is necessary to observe and follow the safety instructions.
Anderson Instrument Company cannot assume any liability or legal responsibility for
operating errors caused by the misuse of this product.

1.2. Structure
This instruction manual is applicable to the following versions of electro-magnetic flow
meters:
1. Integrated design IZML, which consists of the flow tube directly mounted and wired to
the converter, i.e. it forms one single metering unit.

2. Remote design IZMLXXXXXXXRX, consisting of:
a. Converter type IZMLR in wall mount housing
b. Flow Tube IZMS-XXX-BODY
c. Connection cable for coil supply and electrode signal
The following options are available:
Equipped with an analog output for the electrical output of the flow rate
Equipped with a display for indication of process information.

1.3. Function
The IZML electromagnetic flow meter determines the flow rate and the volume of liquid
streams at a high precision and is suitable for metering conductive liquids. The converter is
a microprocessor-controlled device that supplies a switched and regulated coil current for
the flow tube. A resulting signal is generated at the electrodes and is amplified in the
converter, conditioned and processed both as a flow rate and volume information in the
internal measuring registers. Standardized digital pulses (pulses per volume unit) are
output. The flow rate of 0 - 100 % can be output as an analog 4 - 20 mA signal using an
additional board. Apart from that, a display can be used to indicate the measured values.
When leaving the factory, the meter is usually specifically configured such that it is only
necessary to connect the supply voltage and peripheral devices.

1.4. Flow Tube
The flow tube is diagramed below. The flow tube housing the electronics or a field terminal
box on top. A pair of connection adapters is attached to each end of the lined flow tube
with a flat connection

gasket and held in place by a sanitary clamp. The flow tube incorporates two
electromagnetic coils and a Teflon-lined flow tube in a stainless steel housing. Two
electrodes are located inside the flow tube. The electrodes are centrally located and are
diametrically opposed. The electrodes do not protrude into the flow tube and therefore will
not disturb the fluid flow.

1.5. Converter
Mounted on the flow tube or remotely, the microprocessor-based converter changes
electrical signals from the meter body into flow rate and total data. A coil drive circuit in the
converter provides a switched and regulated constant coil current that excites a magnetic
field within the flow tube. The signal induced at the electrodes is amplified, digitized, and
processed by the converter. The converter produces one frequency output and an
optional analog output is available that is proportional to the flow rate.

2.4. Conditions Required for the Flow Tube
The installation of the flow meter depends on the version delivered: remote or integral
design.
In any case the flow tube has to be installed in the product line and the converter has to be
supplied with electric power.
When selecting the location for the installation of the flow meter you should ensure an
optimum earth ground, if some welding work had to be performed, protect the flowmeter
from any electrical cross-flows which could occur, as they could cause damage to the
electronic portion of the meter.

In order to protect the flow tube against damages,
Locate the device so that:

Caution
the process pressure is always kept below the admissible operating pressure
the product temperature is always kept below the admissible temperature
the flow tube is mechanically stabilized (e.g. to avoid vibration)
the flow tube is not operated at negative pressure
the flow tube can be emptied in case of the danger of frost
integrated devices with built-in display are not permanently subject to direct sunlight
the flow meter is not arranged straight above a gully or sink hole
the connection housing is not permanently exposed to drip water

2.4.1. Air and Gases
The electromagnetic measuring system can supply accurate results for pure liquids. Air
slugs or deaeration in a liquid will lead to inaccuracies. Make sure that air slugs or other
possible parts of gas are safely removed before the measuring device e.g. by air
eliminators or that deaeration can be stopped by sufficient operating pressure. The
measuring device will not be damaged by air slugs.

2.4.2. Solids
Normally, solids do not have any negative influence on the volume measurement.
The pipe diameter should always be chosen sufficiently large in order to prevent the meter
tube from being clogged in the case of products with solid particles. Due to the fact that the
flow velocity of solids is relatively lower than that of the liquid part of the product, a higher
flow fluctuation could be caused while the flow rate is determined. The measurement of
abrasive materials can cause a drifting of the measuring accuracies and, in the end, a
deterioration of the flow tube liner.

PAGE
11

2.4.3. Mounting Position
Due to the measurement principle described, the installation position to a certain extent
can be selected any way desired. The basic condition for accurate measuring results is,
however, a full and gas-free meter tube. If possible, the electrode axis should be
horizontally arranged, in order to avoid a collection of gas bubbles or solid particles on the
surface of the electrodes. Therefore, a slightly ascending pipeline is advisable, preferably
with a deaerating possibility at its highest position.

For measuring devices equipped with a display the mounting position should be chosen in
such a way that the display is easily read exposure to sunlight is minimized.

Guidelines

Installation Illustrations

A

Install in a horizontal pipe section at a
low point before a rising pipeline to
ensure flow tube remains full.

B

Install in a vertical pipe section with
an upward direction of flow to ensure
flow tube remains full.

C

Do not install in a horizontal pipe
section located at the highest point of
the pipeline. This location allows air
to accumulate in the flow tube which
causes measuring errors.

D

Do not install in a vertical pipe section
with a downward direction of flow.
This location allows air to accumulate
in the flow tube which causes
measuring errors.

E

In a horizontal pipe section, if possi-
ble, configure a slightly rising section
for meter body placement to keep
flow tube full.

F

In a free inlet or outlet, install the
meter body in a low section of the
pipeline that has an equal rise on the
inlet and outlet end of the meter body
to keep flow tube full.

G

In a pipe section with a vertical flow
downward of a length exceeding
16 feet (5 meters), install a vacuum
breaker downstream of the meter
body to protect it from vacuum.

PAGE 12

2.4.4. Inlet and Outlet Pipe Sections
For the installation of the electromagnetic flowtube a recommended inlet pipe section of
5 pipe diameters and an outlet pipe section of 2 pipe diameters are needed for
undisturbed flow. For an irregular flow (e.g. distorted rotational flow profile) the inlet and
outlet pipe sections have to be extended accordingly or a flow straightening device has
to be installed in order to guarantee the specified measuring accuracy.

2.4.5. Conductivity Conditions
The minimum conductivity of the product may not fall below 5 S/cm.
A count suppressor for empty meter tubes is used for all standard meters . The empty
pipe function will have to be switched off at conductivities below 50 S/cm.

2.4.6. Interference Fields
At the flow tube no masses of iron or strong permanent or electromagnetic fields may
exist which could influence the flowmeters magnetic field, thus falsifying the signal.

H

Install a shutoff valve downstream
(outlet side) of the meter body to
prevent a vacuum condition on the
liner of the meter body.

I

Do not install the meter body on the
suction side of a pump to avoid liner
damage due to vacuum.

J

The length of the pipe section on the
inlet side of the meter body must be
at least five pipe diameters of straight
pipe in front of the meter body.

The length of the pipe section on the
outlet side of the meter body must be
at least two pipe diameters of straight
pipe from the meter body.

PAGE
13

2.4.7. Earthing/Grounding Conditions
Earth grounding of the flow tube is an essential requirement for a reliable and accurate
measurement.
Inductive measuring method means that the metered liquid itself acts as an electric
conductor, i.e. a correct and careful earthing/grounding ensures that no additional
potentials will falsify the extremely low metering signal.
For that reason, the earthing/grounding resistance has to be definitely smaller than
10 ohms. The earth/ground wire used must not transfer any interference voltages,
i.e. no other electric devices may be connected to that line.

In case of the remote design, the earth ground between flow tube and converter is
achieved by means of the shielding of the electrode cables and the coil supply cables.

Flow tube with clamp fitting:
Assembly into a metal pipeline without electrically insulating
lining. The clamp connections form the earth/ground
connection to the liquid.
2.4.8. Flow Tube Lining
A damaged lining will cause measuring errors or even a failure of the flow meter.
Flow tubes with PTFE lining must not be operated at an absolute pressure of <0.5 bar.
That is of special importance at temperatures of >122 F of the measured product.
For that reason, when selecting the location for installation you should consider that no
negative pressure can be caused, not even when the pump is switched off. An installation
at the highest point of the pipeline has to be avoided for this reason. Due to the fact that
PTFE can be cold-worked when being under pressure, proper elastomeric gaskets need
to be installed into the mating clamp adapter connections.
The arrow on the name plate shows the calibrated flow direction for the flow meter. In
principle, the flow meter can measure in both directions. Provided that the recommended
inlet and outlet conditions are kept, the accuracy of the measurement in both directions
may be slightly different.

PAGE 14

2.5. Conditions Required for the Converter
In order to guard the converter against damages, always select a
location so that:
Caution
the ambient temperature is within a range from 4...+130 F
the field housing is mounted without any external stresses
no moisture can enter the field housing through the electrical connections
the housing is not permanently exposed to direct contact with product or water
devices with built-in display are not permanently subject to direct sunlight
Apart from the above, please ensure that the housing can be easily opened for service
purposes.
Measuring devices equipped with local displays have to be installed in such a way that
they can be easily read off and operated.

2.6. Cable Lengths for the Remote Version
The flow tube is installed into the pipeline.
For reasons of EMC, the flow tube has to be installed at the shortest practical distance from
the converter. The standard coil and electrode cables delivered are sized to cover a
distance of 25 each.

The following conditions have to be considered for larger distances:

a. The cables have to be laid into a separate cable duct.
b. Laying the cables near to frequency converters or motors has to be avoided.
c. The maximum distance between flow tube and converter depends on the conductivity of
the product. The following approximate values are recommended:
Conductivity < 50 S/cm maximum distance: 15
Conductivity < 200 S/cm maximum distance: 75
Conductivity > 200 S/cm maximum distance: 150
d. The shielded cables supplied by the manufacturer have to be used or equivalent.
e. The shields have to be put onto the flow tube and the converter.

3. Installation

Only qualified individuals with authorization of the user are to carry out the installation work.

Current codes and regulations should determine the methods used for the installation.
The following points should be taken into account after completion of the installation work:
It has to be checked whether all external supply connections really meet the
requirements specified in the technical data of the flow meter (e.g. pressure,
temperature, etc.).
The pipelines have to be flushed and cleaned before production is started.
All pipeline connections need to be checked that they are safe, leakage-free, and
nearly a stress-free connection to the flow tube.
Any process leaks need to be fixed.

The electric wiring of the voltage supply and the inputs and outputs of the control circuits
has to be carried out according to the wiring diagram and required electrical codes.

3.1. Installation of the Flow Tube

Pay attention to the fact that the clamps are properly tightened. Otherwise, hot or caustic
solutions may leak after installation.
.
If the flow tube is to be connected to existing process lines, those lines have to be
unpressurized and free from product prior to installation.

The PTFE (Teflon) lining of the flow tube is extremely sensitive to impact and vacuum. The
lining is flared over the clamp connection gasketing surface.

CAUTION!
The gasketing surface can not be damaged or removed!

Do not forget to insert the gaskets into the adapter connections during assembly!
In case of leaking pipe connections you should check the gasket. Never overtighten the
clamp connection!
After installation of the flow meter it is important to ensure an optimum earth ground, if
some welding work is required following installation the best solution is to remove the
PAGE 16

complete flow meter from the piping to not allow an electrically conductive bridging-over of
the pipe connections.

Attach the grounding electrode of the welding device as close as possible to the joint being
welded in order to avoid any stray currents within the pipe system and the flow meter.

Always attach the grounding electrode of the welding device at the side of the weld and
away from the flow meter (in that case the current will flow away from the flow meter).

3.2. Installation of the Converter
In case of the integral design, the converter is mounted directly on the flow tube, i.e. it is
located on the pipeline.
For the remote design the field housing is typically configured for wall mounting.
Cable glands always have to point downwards to reduce the likelihood of water intrusion.
When installing the flow meter pay special attention to the fact that no water can get onto
the electronic boards when the cover is opened.
Metal particles, such as trimmed wires, drilling shavings, or residues from the cable shields
have to be removed from the boards before the electric power supply is switched on.

See to it that the pipelines are supported in such a way that no forces are exerted on the
flow tube.

Installation of the Electrical Power Supply
The following safety precautions have to be followed for a proper electrical installation :

Intended use
The flow meter type IZML is exclusively designed for the:
- Connection to an earthed/grounded monophase network
- Use in industrial areas for reason of EMC (according to definition EN 50 081-2)

Staff qualification
Necessary work to the flow meter type IZML is only allowed to be performed by trained
and qualified personnel.
The name plate of the flow meter has to be observed for the electrical connection.
The electrical power supply is connected to terminal X1 on the upper board:
L/N/PE for alternating current (AC)
+/- for direct current (DC)

The nominal voltage has to be equal to the nominal voltage of the flow meter (see the
sticker on the board and the specification on the type plate).

For alternating voltage the ground conductor is put in the PE terminal.
For direct voltage only the PLUS- and MINUS terminals are connected.

The cable shield has to be correctly terminated onto the designated terminal in order to
guarantee an optimum operation of the device according to the EMC directives.

PAGE
17

In case of hard-wired devices without any main switch it is necessary to install a power
switch. That switch needs to be located near the device, easily accessible to the user and
clearly marked as a disconnecting or isolating link for the device.

The flow meter can be supplied by different voltages. Table 1 shows the possible nominal
voltages and admissible tolerances.

The supply voltage valid for the device is indicated on a yellow sticker affixed to the board.
Apart from that, the supply voltage is shown on the name plate.
The 230 V versions can be changed to 115 V by means of soldered jumpers on the 300-
MB11AC board. Normally, such a conversion is carried out at the factory only.

3.2.1. Wire Openings and Connectors
Local code may require conduit for all or part of the wiring for the meter body and
converter installation. However, whether conduit or direct cabling is used, the plugs on the
meter body and converter must be removed and replaced with either cord grips or conduit
adapters.

Plug

Each IZML meter is shipped with plugs and polyethylene seal
rings at all entry points. When a plug is removed, transfer its seal
ring to the corresponding cord grip or conduit adapter.

Cord Grip

When properly used, this connection offers high resistance to
water intrusion by means of a sealing grommet which is
compressed against the outer cable sheath. All connections must
be tight and waterproof.

Conduit
Adapter

This connection consists of a threaded adapter to mate directly
with " NPT rigid conduit and liquid-tight conduit connectors. All
connections must be tight and waterproof.

PAGE 18

The recommended entry methods for cable or conduit are indicated below. Never enter
the enclosure from the top or sides. Create a generous drip leg before each entry point to
collect condensate from within the conduit or cable. After wiring, fill any void with an
approved silicone sealant to ensure water tightness.

Use only the designated openings in the converter for the input and output wiring. Do not
substitute connectors or create new openings.

3.2.2. Connection of the Flow tube
In case of the remote design the coil cable and the electrode cable has to be installed
after the installation of the flow tube into the pipeline and after the mounting of the
converter housing.
The electrical connection between the flow tube and converter has to be carried out
before the measuring device is switched on.

Pay attention to the following:
the supply voltage in the converter is switched off while the flow tube is installed.
no moisture may drip onto any of the electronics.
no metal particles, e.g. of the shielding, can fall into the electronic unit.

Function:
The magnet coils of the flow tube are supplied straight from the converter.
The ground and the two electrode signals E1 and E2 of the converter are led to the
converter.

The following cable types have to be used:

Coil cable 18ga shielded
Electrode cable 16ga shielded

3.3. Retrofit of the 4/20 mA Add-on Board
The add-on board type MBLC provides the analog output of the measured values of
4 20 mA corresponding to 0 100% for the flow rate.
The board is mechanically installed by means of the screw included with the board and
electrically by plug X11 on the upper board.

Disconnect the power supply before you begin the installation!

There is no additional setting or adjustment of the add-on board that is necessary.
The output is active and supplies a current of 20 mA max.
The maximum load of the source of current (burden) can be 500 ohms.

The allocation of: 20 mA = Q
max
(= 100% flow) depends on the nominal width of the flow
tube and is usually fixed by parameter S6. The allocation is shown in the corresponding
table.

Position S6[5] of the 8-pole parameter switch S6 can only be used to double or halve the
range for each nominal width.

A different allocation is only possible by parameterization by the aid of the
display/keyboard.

4. Start-up

4.1. General
The measuring device may only be operated by trained persons who have got the
necessary authorization from the user of the system. The operators have to be familiar with
the process, able to recognize possible dangers, and in a position to take the necessary
steps for the removal of accident risks.

Safety Measures for Start-up

Caution Caution

Both an orderly performed installation and a correct electric connection
are prerequisites for the start-up work.

Pay attention to the following points upon the initial start-up of the flow meter:
Close the housings of flow tube and converter.
- Personal injury by electric shock can be caused, if the electric lines are touched.
- Instrument damages can be caused by moisture or metal parts on the electronic unit.
Ensure that all connections at the flow meter and in the direct vicinity are tight.
If parameter settings have to be made through the service display unit MSD, the
connector is only allowed to be plugged in while the device is switched off.

PAGE 24

4.2. Check List before the Initial Start-up

Table 2: Check list
PAGE 25

Advice for Starting-up the IZML

1. The meter has to be installed into the pipeline

Check the flow direction The flow range adjusts itself automatically.
After the electrical start-up a ZERO-Adjust should be carried out by means of the typical
liquid to be measured (full meter tube and no flow!).

2. Which supply voltage is necessary for an IZML?

The standard voltage is: 115 V alternating current (AC)
If a different supply network exists at the customers, the following possibilities could be
used:
- Replacement of the upper board by the version of: 24 V direct current (DC)
- Replacement of the upper board by the version of: 115 V alternating current (AC)
- Change of the upper 115V board by soldering to: 230 V alternating current (AC)

3. Which parameterizing possibilities are normally provided for the IZML?

The standard parameterization of the IZML is only carried out by means of the 8-pole
parameter switch S6 on the upper board.
The efficiency of the parameter switch is fixed by the position S6 [8], i.e. the switch is
normally set to "OFF".
An individual parameterization is possible by the help of the Service Display Unit MLD or
the PC software IVON. For the individual parameterization it is necessary to set the
parameter switch S6 [8] = OFF.

4. How can the volume pulses be connected, set, and checked?

The digital output for the volume pulses is passive as an Optocoupler with both an emitter
connection (+) and a collector connection (-), i.e. a DC voltage (typical 24V!) has to be
supplied from the outside. A maximum current of 80 mA is allowed to flow.
The yellow pilot lamp on the upper board shows when a volume pulse is put out.
Volume pulses are generated in the forward direction.
The pulse value can be changed by the first 3 positions of the parameter switch S6.
The output can be set between 0.001 and 10,000 pulses per gallon;
The black " ABORT key" has to be depressed after the setting of the desired pulse output.
In order to verify the function, volume pulses can be generated without any flow by the flow
simulator.
PAGE 26

5. How can the analog output be put into operation?

The supply power needs to be disconnected before the add-on board with the analog
output is inserted. The board has to be attached by means of the included screw.
The analog output is plugged onto the upper board as an add-on board.
Dependent on the flow rate the analog output produces an active current between 4 and
20mA.
The allocation of the flow range 20mA = Q
max
for the analog output of the IZML is set by
the parameter switch position S6[5]. Dependent on the nominal width the flow range can be
doubled or halved:
e.g. DN50: 4 - 20 mA 0 150 g/min or 4 - 20 mA 0 300 g/min.
The volume pulses do not have any influence on the change of the flow range.
The flow simulation can be set for a functional check.

6. Which other conditions should be taken into consideration?

During a faultless operation the green BETR. lamp should be permanently on. After
switching on the measuring device the red ERR. lamp may also be lighting for 30 seconds
max., but after that short period it has to go out.
Is a simulation required for the setting of external devices (PLC, digital counter, etc.)?
A simulation of a 50 % flow rate can be started by parameter switch S6[7] (the ABORT key
has to be depressed after positioning the parameter switch!).
Too low product conductivity?
Below 50 S/cm the internal empty-pipe detection has to be set by parameter switch
position S6[4] = OFF and the ABORT key has to be depressed.
Is the analog output too unsteady?
The flow filter can be switched on by parameter switch position S6[6]; the time constant for
the analog output now changes from 1 to 5 seconds.

4.3. Basic Settings for the Start-up
At the factory the electromagnetic flow meter is adjusted by using water. Normally, the
settings of parameter switch S6 are inactive.

4.3.1. Structure and Operating Elements
The converter type IZML consists of the terminal board type 300-MB11 and the main
board type 300-MBL1.

PAGE 27

The following operating elements are available besides the input/output terminals:

1. ZERO key S4 on the upper board
2. ABORT key S5 on the upper board
3. 8-pole parameter switch S6 on the upper board
4. Rotary-type correction switch S4 on the lower board
5. Display/keyboard (option) 2 x 16 characters display / 8 keys
The upper board is equipped with additional pilot lamps for the signalization of the
different states of the measuring device.
4.3.2. ZERO Key
The ZERO key S4 is located on the upper board (300-MB11). A hydraulic zero
adjustment is activated when the key is depressed.

4.3.3. ABORT Key
When activated, the ABORT key will reset the system to the initial status of the program
sequence.
It has always to be activated when a change has been made at parameter switch S6 or at
the rotary-type correction switch S4.
4.3.4. Parameter Switch S6
Some settings of the device can be changed by the 8-pole parameter switch S6.
A simulation can be carried out for test purposes.
It should be taken into account that after changing the switch position the desired function
will only be switched on after activation of the ABORT key.

The whole setting of the parameter switch can be disabled by switch position
S6[8] = OFF.
4.3.5. Rotary-type Correction Switch S4
The rotary-type correction switch S4 is located on the lower board.
Switch S4 can be used to adjust the measured value within a range from
-1.4% ... +1.4%.

4.3.6. BUS Address Switches S1 and S2
For the use of the internal BUS communication it is necessary to allocate an address to
the IZML:
S1 low-order Standard: 0
S2 high-order Standard: 2
PAGE 28

i.e. the standard address is 20. If several users are interconnected, it will be necessary
to provide the different IZML with consecutive numbers (21, 22, etc.). Double
addresses are not allowed.

4.3.7. Display Unit
Figure 1: Integrated display unit (option)

The following measures can be taken if the IZML is equipped with an integrated display unit
(option):

Parameter settings
Resetting the counters to zero
Use of service functions
Display of service data
Calibration

PAGE 29

4.4. Functional Control upon the Start-up
The functional control depends on the flow meter version:
a. Without display unit
b. With display unit or with service display unit type MLD
4.4.1. Converter without Display Unit
The housing cover has to be opened for the functional control.
The red ERR lamp and the green BETR lamp has to be observed during the start-up
process:
Status duration
BETR
(green)
ERR
(red)
0 sec. OFF OFF
0.5 sec. ON/OFF ON/OFF
3 sec. ON ON*
30 sec. ON OFF
* If the device had been switched off for a longer period than 5 minutes, the red ERR lamp will
not light up after the switching-on process, i.e. that status is not applicable!
4.4.2. Flow tube with Display
After switching on the device you will see the following message on the display:

Auto-Test
IZML Type V1.09

Normally, the IZML is not equipped with a storage battery.
If so, the internal volume registers are not stored and always starting at zero.

V 0.0 gal
Q 0g/min

In case of power failures of less than 3 minutes the last measured values will be kept.
In that case the first line can show the message warning 901 as a hint at the power
failure occurred.
Usually, that text is automatically cleared after 30 seconds.

4.5. Flow Direction
The IZML measures the flows in both flow directions.

In the standard setting the digital output works in the indicated direction of flow.

If the device is equipped with a display, negative flows or quantities will be shown with a
MINUS sign.

4.6. Zero Point Adjustment ( ZERO Adjust )
Upon the first start-up of the flow meter it is recommendable to carry out a zero point
adjustment (ZERO adjust ) for the adaptation of the flow meter to the existing conditions.
Normally, a zero adjustment is not required for the integrated version.
PAGE 30

ATTENTION !
The following conditions have to be observed for a ZERO adjust:

(1) The device has to have reached its working temperature, i.e. it should have switched
on at least 5 minutes before.
(2) The cables between flow tube and converter have to be permanently mounted in
consideration of the EMC rules.The flow tube has to be filled with the typical liquid
free of air.
(3) No flow is allowed to occur during the ZERO adjust measurement (flow = zero).

ZERO adjust
95 %

The zero point adjustment is started by activating the "ZERO" key on the upper board.
While the ZERO point measurement is running the green BETR. lamp is flashing in a
1 second cycle.
If the IZML is equipped with a display, the sequence can be started by the selection of the
ZERO adjust function without opening the housing.
During the adjustment the status message appears and the up-to-date progress of the
function is shown counting down from 100% to 0%.

4.7. Volume Pulses
The measured volume is output in an evaluated pulse sequence by pulse output OUT1
(terminal X2 no. 25 and no. 26). The different outputs for an individual pulse are selected
by parameter switch S6 by means of the switches S6[1], S6[2], and S6[3].
It should be taken into account that the parameter switch S6[8] should be set to ON.
Otherwise, the internal parameter setting is not effective.
Changes at parameter switch S6 have to be acknowledged by the ABORT key on
principle.
Switch position
S6[1] S6[2] S6[3]
Pulse output OUT1
OFF OFF OFF 1 pulses/gallon
ON OFF OFF 0.001 pulses/ gallon
OFF ON OFF 0.01 pulses/gallon
ON ON OFF 0.1 pulses/ gallon
OFF OFF ON 10 pulses/ gallon
ON OFF ON 100 pulses/ gallon
OFF ON ON 1000 pulses/ gallon
ON ON ON 10000 pulses/ gallon

Table 3: Parameter switch S6 [1] S6 [3]
PAGE 31

The IZML is able to output 1,000 pulses per second max. (= 1kHz). If that pulse frequency
is shortly exceeded, a maximum number of 10,000 pulses is intermediately stored and put
out on the next occasion, so that no pulse fault will be caused.
However, in case of a longer exceeding (more than 10,000 pulses) the storage will be
cleared and pulse faults are caused.
The following calculation should be carried out for an estimation of the pulse frequency:

Example: DN80, pump capacity: approx. 400 gal/min
Setting: S6[1] = ON
S6[2] = OFF
S6[3] = ON = 100 p/gal (100 pulses per gallon)

The set pulse output results in a maximum pulse frequency of 667Hz, this setting is
possible without an error occurring. Even when the flow rate is increased up to 500 g/min,
no pulse errors will occurr.
If, however, a flow rate of 700 g/min is reached, a total quantity of 116 pulses (1.166 kHz)
will be missing in each second because of the restriction of the output frequency to 1 kHz.
After about 86 seconds a total quantity of 10,000 will be buffered with the effect that the
pulse error will occur!
The upper board is equipped with a yellow pilot lamp PULSE for checking the volume
pulses. Unless flow is available, the lamp is either permanently ON or OFF. If flow is
available, the lamp will be blinking in representation of the pulse output selected.

4.8. Metering Interruption (assignment of the digital input)
For the external interruption of the measurement, e.g. during cleaning, a digital signal can
be connected to input IN1 on the upper board.
The input is activated by a direct current voltage between 10 V ... 30 V DC at terminal X2
with PLUS to no. 32 and MINUS to no. 31.
When activating input IN1 (lamp D21 is lighting) the transmission of the volume pulses is
suppressed.

4.9. Flow Signal
Optionally, a small additional board can be mounted to connector X11 on the upper board.
For the flow range of 0 ... 100% a current of 4 ... 20 mA is generated via terminals no. 5
and no. 6. The preset value of 100 % depends on the nominal width. Normally, it refers to
the quantity unit Gallons.

By default the 100 % value can only be changed via parameter switch S6 with code switch
no. 5 as a doubling or halving, respectively.

Table 4: Standard measuring ranges of the analog output

4.10. Metering with an Empty Meter Tube
Metrologically perfect flow measurements are only possible, if the meter tube is completely
filled with liquid.
In order to avoid an undefined counting in case of an empty meter tube, the IZML offers
both an internal and an external possibility for suppression:
4.10.1. Internal " EMPTY Pipe Detection"
The IZML is equipped with a special EMPTY pipe detection ("pipe detect"). The setting is
made by parameter switch S6[4]. Usually, the EMPTY pipe detection is switched on, i.e. an
undefined count will be suppressed in case of an empty meter tube.

At the following situations the internal EMPTY pipe detection has to be switched off by
parameter switch S6[4] = OFF:
- At a product conductivity of less than 50S/cm.
- At a heavily pulsating flow (piston, membrane or hose pumps).
4.10.2. External " EMPTY Pipe Detection"
An external EMPTY pipe detection can be reached by an appropriate assignment of digital
input "IN1", e.g. by an additional level sensor, a system-specific control contact, etc. In that
case the internal EMPTY pipe detection should be switched off.

With regard to metrological aspects, the external EMPTY pipe detection achieves a better
measuring accuracy.

4.11. Metering at Low Conductivities
The IZML is capable of measuring liquids from a minimum conductivity of 5S/cm. In order
to obtain results at conductivities of less than 50S/cm, the internal EMPTY pipe detection
has to be switched off by parameter switch S6[4] = OFF.
PAGE 33

5. Operation
If the flow meter is optionally equipped with a display unit, the operation during normal
measurement is restricted to the zeroing of the volume registers.

5.1. Basic Keyboard Functions
The 8 keys on the keyboard serve for the following basic functions:

CLEAR
key Return from the functional or parameter level to the main display

ENTER
key 1. Entering the selected level (function, parameter, service, etc.)
2. Acknowledgement of the input

PAGE 35

6. Parameterization

Take into account that changing the parameters of the flow meter while production is
running could lead to some undefined results.

It is possible to modify the set parameters:

By parameter switch S6
By the keyboard and the display unit
By the service display unit type MLD
By the PC software program IVON

6.1. Parameterization by Parameter Switch S6
In the basic version of the IZML a display unit is not available.
Modifications to parameters can only be achieved via the 8-fold parameter switch S6. Keep
in mind that using S6 disables the factory set application specific parameters Qmax,and
PV.

The coding switches of parameter switch S6 have got the following meaning:
1, 2, 3 Pulse output for volumes between 0.001 ... 10,000 pulses/litre
4 Internal EMPTY pipe detection pipe detect switched ON or OFF
5
Selection for the 4 20 mA analog output:
Flow velocity range of 0.2 2 m/s or 0.4 4 m/s
6 Flow signal filter switched ON or OFF
7 Metering or simulating mode for test purposes (Flow: 50%)
8 Parameters of the switch settings valid/invalid

Unless a customers specifications have changed, editing parameters should be
unchanged, the upper settings correspond to the usual factory-set status upon the delivery
of the flow meter.

ATTENTION !

The settings of the parameter switch are only effective,
if the parameter switch S6 [8] is in the ON position!

6.2. Setting via Keyboard and Display Unit
If the IZML is delivered with a display unit, the parameters are set so they can be modified
using the keypad and display.

This means that if S6 is activated the value will be displayed that is activated by the switch
position.
Consequently, that value cannot be changed.

Parameter 1
switch S6 active
If a change is required, the use of the parameter switch will have to be invalidated.
For that purpose, the 8
th
position of switch S6[8] has to be set to OFF, followed by a reset.
Now all types of parameters can be changed as desired.
PAGE 37

The different types of parameters are filed in the parameter blocs Parameter 1 up to
Parameter 4 as shown in the operating structure.
Meaning of the different types of parameters:

Parameter type 1
Maximum flow value (for the 4 ... 20 mA output) Qmax

Particularity of the unit parameter!
When selecting the volume units US Gallons and Litres you should take into account
when activating the parameter switch S6 (8) that fixed flow ranges are valid for the
4-20mA output based on the flow tube diameter.

How to change a parameter

A parameter change is possible when the desired parameter type is indicated in the 2nd
line.
Then depress the key and input the correct code number via the arrow keys.
It is possible to set the parameter.

Example:
The pulse output shall be individually changed to 50 pulses per gallon:

M
key key
ENTER
key
key key

Now the code number has to be input again:
4 x key key
1 x key key
5 x key key
ENTER
key

codeno: _____415
pv1 10.00 p/gal

When the code number has been accepted, the desired sequence of numbers has to be
input in the same way for the pulse output and acknowledged by the
ENTER
key.
The modification is finished by the following activation of the
CLEAR
key

parameter 1
pv1 50.00 p/gal

Notice !

The new value for the parameter type is only valid if the 8th position of parameter switch S6
[8] is set to OFF.
Please check whether the other parameters which can normally be set by the parameter
switch have the desired value.
PAGE 39

PAGE 40

6.3. Adjustments
Normally, the IZML needs no adjustment.
Usually, the zero point adjustment (ZERO-Adjust) is carried out during the start-up only.
Should, however, some deviations need to be compensated for e.g. a comparison with a
calibration vessel or a scale:
- an adjustment via the correcting switch S4 or
- an adjustment via the factor m spe could be made.

Before you will start carrying out an adjustment you should have clarified the following
questions:
Are you sure that the reference standard (master meter, scale, or calibrated vessel)
does really deliver the correct amount?
Is the quantity of the diffence always equal from measurement to measurement?
Take into account that differently emptying pipelines, a missing break-off edge for the
liquid or temporary air bubbles will lead to errors during the measurement!
Is the liquid really conveyed during the measurement without any air or gas?
Is the unit operated within the flow rate limits?
Is the conductivity of the product within the required tolerance?
An adjustment is only reasonable if similar (reproducible) deviations have been ascertained
during the measurements.

Adjustment by Correcting Rotary Switch S4
Adjustments by the correcting switch S4 are only possible within a range from
-1.4 % up to +1.4%.
An adjustment is possible in steps of 0.2 %, i.e. the instantaneous flow rate is increased or
reduced by 0.2% per switch position.
Upon the delivery, the correcting rotary switch S4 is set to 0, i.e. no correction is preset.
After each change of the correcting rotary switch S4, the new correction becomes active
after depressing the ABORT key.
ATTENTION !

The adjustment set in this way will only be active
if the parameter switch S6[8] is to the ON position !

PAGE 41

The following table shows the function of the correcting rotary switch S4:
Position Direction of correction
Correction of the
measured value

F ... 9
- 0.2 % ... 1.4 % 11,984 ... 11,888 mA
Table 5: Correcting rotary switch S4

Example:
Upon a control measurement with a master meter, a difference of +27 gallons is determined
for an IZML080 at a total measured quantity of 5,000 gallons.
Consequently, the deviation corresponds to a relative error (F) of:
5,027 5,000
F =
5,000
x 100 % = + 0.54 %
The best correction would be -0.6 %, i.e. the correcting rotary switch has to be set to
position D. In the best way, the IZML would afterwards show 4,997 gallons, i.e. it still had
a relative error of -0.06 %.
Adjustment by Calibration Factor "m spe"
The adjustment can even be set more accurately by the calibration factor m spe either by
means of the service display unit type MLD or the built-in display. For this purpose, the
parameter switch S6[8] should first be set to OFF in order to enable a parameter input.

The calibration factor is calculated by the formula:
V
ref
desired volume (e.g. calibration vessel, scale, or the like)
V
dis
IZML display

Example:

A deviation F of +0.54% is determined upon a comparative measurement.

Calibration vessel: V
ref
= 5000 G
Display: V
dis
= 5027 G

5,000
m spe = 1.0 = 0.9946

PAGE 42

ATTENTION!

After changing the position of the parameter switch S6 [8] to ON, this correction is still
kept, but:

If an additional adjustment is made by the correcting rotary switch S4 in the
parameterizing position S6 [8] = ON, that adjustment will superimpose the adjustment
of the m spe factor!

7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Error Diagnosis
The IZML is equipped with an integrated self-monitoring function.
Malfunctions are recognized and automatically removed.
In case of devices without a display, the error type can only be determined using the green
BETR. lamp and the red ERR lamp.
Devices with display show error codes.
7.1.1. Error Diagnosis without a Display
In case of this device version an error diagnosis is only possible within certain limits by the
reaction of the green BETR. lamp and the red ERR lamp.
The yellow pilot lamp PULSE directly shows the reaction of the pulse output, i.e. the lamp
shortly flashes.

PAGE 43

Normally, the error messages are automatically deleted after 30 seconds.
In case of a pulse loss (status 8) it should be taken into account that the message is only
erased by using the ABORT key. That means at a very high pulse output set e.g. after a
cleaning process at a high flow velocity this error message could be generated and
permanently displayed.
If you want to check a possible pulse loss, you will have to observe the red ERR lamp
over a longer period during the normal process operation.
Calculate for control purposes the maximum pulse frequency expected.
7.1.2. Error Diagnosis via Display
Displayed messages could support the fault location in case of malfunctions or failed
measurements.
Normally, the message is displayed in a flashing state in the 1st line:
warning 901
Q 10983
G/min

Usually, all displayed messages are automatically deleted after a maximum period of
30 seconds.
In case of a permanent malfunction the message is generated again and again.
In addition to the displayed message the red error lamp on the upper board is lighting or
starts flashing according to the error detected.

The following messages are possible:

Warning 901 Message stating that the measurement was interrupted:
By a power failure (Power-Fail)
By a RESET (e.g. after a simulation)
By a parameter change
By an activation of the digital input (stop of the count)

Measure None

Error 963 Message stating that the volume pulse output was exceeded;
i.e. pulse losses are caused.
ATTENTION !
This message is only automatically deleted, if a display unit is
connected. In case of versions without any display unit, the
error message will be kept, i.e. the red error lamp is flashing in
a 1-second cycle!

Measure: If a correct pulse output is required even in case of an
increased flow rate, the pulse output will have to be reduced!

PAGE 44

Error 3041 Error message of the system: No measurement possible.

Measure: Exchange of the electronic unit.

Error 3050 Message, stating that the flow rate is outside the measuring range;
i.e. failed measurements are caused (reading too low!).

Measure: Reduce the flow rate or use an IZML of a larger nominal width or
use an IZMS (up to 10m/s).

Error 3063 Message, stating that the pulse output set could involve an
overdriving of the pulse output (output frequency >1 kHz at the
maximum flow rate). If the output frequency is exceeded the
message error 963 will appear (see above).

Measure: None, if the increased pulse valance is desired for the working
range. In case of failed measurements, the pulse valance has to
be adapted accordingly.

Error 3070 Message stating that the calibration factor is set to zero.

Measure: Input of the respective factor (e.g. span).

Error 3072 Message stating that the coil current is failed.

Measure: 1st Exchange the upper supply board.
2nd Exchange the main board.
3rd Exchange the whole measuring device.

Error 3083 Message stating that the ZERO-Adjust measurement carried out
has not been accepted:

The flow rate was not ZERO during the measurement.
The cable connections were not in order.
The earthing/grounding of the flow tube is failed.
Moisture in the flow tube or in the electronic part.

Measure: Repeated attempt to carry out the ZERO-Adjust measurement.
Unless successful, verification and removal of possible error
sources.
PAGE 45

7.2. Typical Effects or Possible Malfunctions
Disturbances or malfunctions can normally be recognized by means of the display unit.
7.2.1. Flow without Flow Rate Indication:
(a) Is the conductivity higher than 5 S/cm?
(b) Has the internal EMPTY pipe detection to be switched off?
Check whether there is error indication Status 6 or whether 0 G/min is shown
while the flow is running. If a display is available select the menu service.
If adsum 0 is displayed, the internal EMPTY pipe detection is active. This is the
case, when
The conductivity of the liquid is below 50 S/cm.
The type of flow tube connected is smaller than DN 15.
A heavily pulsating flow is available.

To make sure that the electronics are working correctly, use the simulating function
(hardware or software) for further diagnosis of the digital or analog output.

7.2.2. No Pulse Transmission despite Displayed Flow
(a) Check the electric circuit (the IZML outputs have to be supplied by an external
voltage of 24 V DC).
(b) Is the polarity of the pulse counter correctly connected?
(c) Check the parameters:
- Is the pulse output too low? (Switch position or parameter)
- Are the settings made by parameter switch S6 really effective?

Use the simulating function for your further diagnosis (hardware or software).

7.2.3. No Analog Signal Available
If no analog signal or a failed analog signal is measured, the following checks are
recommended to be carried out:

a. Check whether the additional board is correctly installed.

b. First the connected measuring system (digital display, PLC or the like) has to be
disconnected from the IZML. The analog output signal has to be checked by the
simulating function by the aid of an ammeter:
PAGE 46

- If the analog output is ZERO at a 50% simulation, the electronic part is defective,
i.e. it will be necessary to replace:
the additional board type MBLC o r
the main board o r
the complete converter.
- If the analog output remains constant on 20 mA, the internal curr mode
parameter could be wrong. A verification is only possible by means of the display
unit or the service display unit type MLD.
c. If the problem only occurs with the external display,PLC. it should be checked:
- if the resistance of the whole current loop is higher than 500 ohms? (Observe the
technical data sheets of the connected devices!)

- is the input of the external evaluating device configured for an active analog
output?
Errors can especially occur with a connection to a PLC due to the fact that it might
both have an active and a passive configuration.
d. If nonlinearities occur over the whole range from 0 - 100%, it should be checked:
- Whether the load of the whole current loop is higher than 500 ohms?
If those values are correct, it will be necessary to replace the analog board 300-
MBLC, since there is no adjusting possibility.

7.2.4. Deviations of Measured Values
(a) Is there a time-related connection between the occurrence of the problem and some
modifications to a system in the vicinity of the measuring device?
(b) Does the error show more or less similar values or a constant shift or does it heavily
scatter into the positive or negative direction?
(c) Has something been repaired or exchanged?
(d) Does the error always occur at a certain point of time (e.g. on Mondays at the start
of production, on the early shift, or the like) or at certain process steps?
(e) If a display unit is connected, the measuring signals can be checked by means of
the service data menu service while the flow is static.
Change the display to the presentation of the measured values adksum which
may be fluctuating between -300 ... +300 units at a maximum.
If you carry out several zero point measurements (ZERO-Adjust):
The displayed value is not allowed to change by more than 10 units among the
repeated measurements.
Unless stability exists, the earthing/grounding of the flow tube will have to be
checked. The wiring between flow tube and converter has to be shielded through
the metal cable gland.
(f) The same verification has to be carried out with a full meter tube while the flow tube
is removed as a whole. In that status any influences by electrical disturbances or a
leaking pipe system can be excluded.
PAGE 47

(g) In case of moisture or other errors in the flow tube or converter it will be necessary
to replace the flow meter.
(h) Check the pipe path for by-pass lines or air occlusions (failed gaskets).
(i) Check the reference measuring methods or the test procedure (reference meter,
e.g. a scale):
Take into account the temperature compensation of the volume.
If different products are compared with the value of the scale, the conversion
will have to be carried out by means of the density.
Or the same volume differences always occur e.g. at different quantities!
If so, possible reasons could be:
A start and stop of the measurement while the meter tube is empty.
An undefined limitation of quantity due to the absence of a break-off edge.
An undefined dropping-off behaviour due to the absence of an appropriate
draining sieve.
7.3. Fault Reset
Error messages can be reset:
(a) By zeroing the quantity counter
(b) Automatically after 30 seconds max., unless any further fault did occur.

7.4. Flow tube Tests
7.4.1. Insulation Test
The test is carried out by means of an ohmmeter. The meter tube of the flow tube has to be
completely emptied before. The inner tube has to be absolutely dry, especially for
measurements a) and b).

7.4.2. Symmetry Test
For the symmetry test the flow tube has to be filled with the liquid to be metered and
connected as shown in the figure below. The metered alternating currents of
measurements 2 (electrode 1 - ground) and 3 (electrode 2 - ground) have to be equal
within a tolerance of 3 %.
On no account the individual current values may be drifting over a longer period
(5 minutes) during the measurement!

8. Maintenance
8.1. Safety Instruction for Maintenance Work
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by skilled personnel with the required
authorization from the user.
The persons concerned have to be familiar with the process and be able to recognize
possible dangers and to take all necessary steps to remove imminent risks of accidents.

CAUTION:

First ensure your personal safety before you will start carrying out any
service and maintenance work!
Appropriate measures have to be taken to guarantee safety (approved ladders,
lifting platforms, safety harnesses, etc.).
Applicable tools and personal protective measures are necessary.
Before you start working at electrical or rotating equipment, make absolutely sure
that the equipment concerned is disconnected from the power supply network. An
unintended restart has to be avoided by suitable safety precautions (e.g. information
signs, padlocks).
Fittings and instruments and their contents can be hot! First permit them to cool
down before you will start working at such parts.
If fittings and instruments have to be removed from the pipe system, the whole pipe
system has to be completely emptied, depressurized, and protected by some
appropriate shut-off fittings.
Rinse the pipe system with clear water before the disassembly of fittings or
instruments in order to remove possible residuals of chemicals.

8.2. Maintenance
8.2.1. Upkeep
On normal operating conditions the flow meter type IZML does not require any special
maintenance work.
Nevertheless, we wish to give you some recommendations for maintenance steps:

Cleaning
Deposits in the meter tube or at the electrodes will cause measuring errors or malfunctions.
Thus, ensure a regular and careful cleaning of both the pipelines and the flow meter.
See to it during the external cleaning that e.g. no high-pressure steam-jets are directed to
the housing parts.
PAGE 50

In case of flow meters with integrated display the external cleaning temperature may not
exceed 120 F.
Keyboard and display should only be cleaned by means of water and a soft cloth.
The IZML flow tube is suitable for CIP.
Regarding the cleaning, disinfecting, and flushing agents and procedures we refer to the
manufacturers and the relevant guidelines of the food processing industry.
Gaskets
The flow meter itself is equipped with two gaskets. One is located at each adapter
connection. Periodic replacement will increase flow tube service life.

Accuracy Test
Accuracy tests of the flow meter should be carried out in the frame of your in-house quality
assurance.
A regular calibration increases the reliability of a system.

8.2.2. Preventive Maintenance Steps

The preventive maintenance for the flow meter type IZML refer to the gaskets of the
adapter connections.

The recommended maintenance intervals result from the experience in other systems.
However, the really required maintenance intervals can considerably differ from that
experience for the following reasons:
Daily running time and number of the annual production days
Aggressivity of the product
Frequency of cleaning phases, especially with hot water and caustic solution as well as
disinfectants
Duration and temperature of the cleaning phases

Regular maintenance:
3 different methods:
1. A consequent replacement of all gaskets in regular intervals, e.g. every year. Reduce
interval if needed.
2. Replacement of heavier stressed gaskets in short intervals (e.g. once a month) and of
less stressed parts in larger intervals (e.g. every 1 years). It is important that the
serviced components are marked accordingly.
3. Exchange of the gaskets when required (e.g. when leaks occur). It is indispensable to
mark the serviced components accordingly.
4. Accuracy tests of the flow meters of the system in regular intervals as determined by
the in-house quality assurance department.

Anderson Instrument Company offers field service to accomplish the above
indicated service.

8.3. Repairs
8.3.1. Sending-in the Flow Meter to the Manufacturer
If repairs have to be carried out at the factory, the following conditions will have to be
fulfilled in order to enable a quick and cost-effective settlement.
The components/devices have to be packed in such a way that damage in transit is
excluded.
A preauthorized RMA needs to be issued for tracking of the incoming repair.

PAGE 52

8.3.2. Repair Work
Repairs should be carried out by skilled personnel only. Service of the electronic boards is
not possible. Only complete boards can be exchanged.
For each repair it is required to observe the general maintenance safety instructions.
A replacement of components in the installed location should be avoided for the following
reasons:
Lock washers could drop out and be left on the electronic part when the fastening
screws are loosened.
Metal particles could destroy the electronic part when the power supply is switched
on.
When the electronic housing is open there is the risk that moisture could drip down
onto the electronic boards. Moisture immediately destroys the electronic part when
the power supply is switched on.
For all kinds of repairs the flow meter has to be disconnected from the power supply.

8.3.2.1. Replacement of the Fuse
The fuse F1 serves for the protection of the electronic boards against the line voltage. F1
fuse is located on the upper board of the power supply unit.
To replace the fuse it is necessary to remove the protecting cover. Only use a fuse of the
same specified data (e.g. 500mA/T).
After the exchange of the fuse, clip the protecting cover over the fuse again.

8.3.2.2. Replacement of the Main Board
The main board (type: MBL1) is configured at the factory based on order information.
Replacement can be done without additional programming changes assuming proper
information being provided to the factory.

8.3.2.3. Replacement of the Power Supply Board
The power supply board can be replaced without necessitating any additional settings.
However, you should check before the replacement whether the power supply range of
the spare part is equal to that of the original power supply board.

8.3.2.4. Replacement of the Housing Cover
The housing cover has to be replaced when
the keyboard is defective
the flow meter has to be retrofitted with a display

The display is functioning immediately after switching on the power supply, on the
condition that the 4-pole contactor has been plugged in.
Further settings are not required.

8.3.2.5. Replacement of the Flow tube
Before replacing the flow tube, ensure that the pipe system is empty and unpressurized.
Flush the pipe system before the removal of the flow tube with clear cold water in order
to avoid any residues of chemicals or elevated temperatures.

The supply voltage for the electronic part has to be switched off.
PAGE 53

Carry out a zero point measurement (ZERO Adjust) with the new flow tube in order to
optimize the accuracy of the flow meter.

8.4. Special Program Functions
The program offers some functions that could help at the trouble-shooting process.
Moreover, it is possible to use those functions for the adjustment and verification of
connected devices.

Now use the arrow keys to input the code number 415

Function: RESET:
A program reset can be carried out in the same way.

Function: ERASE RAM:
The whole contents of the memory can be deleted equally (original data-free status).
When the memory is erased (erase RAM function), only the counter readings of the
flow meters are deleted, but not the parameter or calibration data!!!

Function: SIMULATION
The simulation of the pulse output for the volume and the analog output (option) for the
flow is introduced in the same way.

8.4.2. Flow simulation
As an aid for diagnosing of connected devices the IZML offers the ability to simulate flow
without any flowing product.
In the case of devices without a display unit the simulation is carried out by means of the
parameter switch S6 [7].
For devices with a display unit it is recommendable to use the keyboard for the simulation.

PAGE 54

8.4.3. Hardware Test by the Parameter Switch
Parameter switch S6 can be used to simulate a flow rate of 50 % for the verification of the
pulse output. For that purpose, switch S6 [7] has to be set to ON and the ABORT key
has to be activated. After that, some volume pulses corresponding to a flow of 50 % (50%
of Qmax!) are generated at the digital output OUT1.
Example: Conditions: Nominal width DN25 Q
max
standard 13.3 gal/min
Standard pulse output 1 pulse/gal

S6[7] = ON and depress ABORT:

- 6 pulses (= 6 gal) are generated per minute.
- If the pulse output is changed to 10 pulses per gallon, 66 pulses will
be generated per minute.
With a built-in analog output of 4-20 mA a current between 11.97 and 12.03 mA has to be
output and/or measurable.
The yellow pilot lamp PULSE serves for the verification whether the volume pulses are
correctly generated in the electronic part. The lamp has to be flashing according to the set
pulse output.

When the simulation is finished, reset the switch S6 [7] to OFF and activate the ABORT
key.
8.4.4. Simulation by the Display Unit
Select the SIMULATION function by means of the keyboard:

M

ENTER
key key 2 x key

The code 415 is input by means of the arrow keys.

Then the display will show:

Simulation
50 % 6.6gal/min

During the simulation the analog output is set to 12.0 mA (4-20 mA setting) or 10.0 mA (0-
20 mA setting). The volume pulses are produced for the flow of 50 % according to the set
pulse output.
The flow value can be changed by means of the key or the key.
The simulation is terminated by means of the
CLEAR
key.
