Vii. Wiring and grounding precautions:
Wiring precautions
1. Use a complete cable as far as possible.
2. As far as possible, keep away from electrical noise sources (such as high-power transformers, motors and strong power lines) and avoid wiring parallel to power lines.
3. It is recommended to use non-soldered clamping lug at the end of thick wire.
4, in order to waterproof and mechanical damage, the cable into a metal tube, but the same tube shall not have a high-power transmission cable, (a transmission cable transmission zui high power is greater than the flow meter signal cable transmission zui low power 10 times, the two can not be installed in the same tube).
5. For the area with strong external magnetic field, the axis of the detecting device should be perpendicular to the magnetic flux direction of the external magnetic field or the flow sensor or external magnetic source should be shielded with high-permeability materials.
6. The connection of the cables of the explosion-proof turbine flow sensor must strictly comply with the relevant standards of the explosion-proof amplifier.
Grounding problem
1. The shielding wire can only be grounded at one end, and at the end of the display instrument.
2, reliable grounding should be good, explosion-proof type grounding resistance should be less than 10 Ω.
The following points must be noted when using turbine flow timing:
1. The tested medium is required to be clean, low viscosity, small corrosion, and free from impurities, so as to reduce the wear on the bearing. If the measured liquid contains gas or contains gas, install a deflator in front of the flowmeter. In order to avoid the impurities in the fluid into the transmitter to damage the weight, and in order to prevent the turbine stuck, it is necessary to add filters.
2. The installation of the flowmeter should avoid vibration, magnetic field and thermal radiation.
3. Changes in the density and viscosity of the medium have an impact on the flow indication value, which should be corrected if necessary.
Viii. Installation site:
1, the installation site should comply with the environmental temperature at 25 ~ 55 ℃ scope, humidity (80% RH
2, good ventilation, avoid the sun, rain
3. Avoid vibration or stress in piping
4. Avoid places susceptible to strong thermal radiation and radioactivity
5. Interference of external strong electromagnetic field on the detection signal must be avoided. If it can not be avoided, the flow meter (sensor) on the amplifier should be added to the shielding cover and other measures to eliminate interference.
6. Explosion proof amplifiers should be used in places with explosion proof requirements
7. The installation location should be considered to facilitate installation, operation and maintenance
Ix. Installation posture and position:
In order to ensure a high measurement accuracy, the flow meter (sensor) should be installed horizontally in a horizontal pipe, and the flow direction of the arrow indicating the flow direction of the flow sensor should be consistent with the flow direction of the liquid. If vertical installation is necessary, the flow of liquid should be from bottom to top to ensure that the flow sensor body is filled with liquid.
X. piping requirements:
1. In order to eliminate the influence of uneven distribution of cross-section velocity in the pipeline on the measurement accuracy, the upstream and downstream of the flow sensor should have a certain straight section, or rectifier should be installed to replace part of the straight section. Generally, the upstream straight pipe segment shall not be less than 15D, and the downstream straight pipe segment shall not be less than 5D (D is the nominal diameter of the flow sensor).
2. In order to eliminate the influence of backflow, uneven distribution of flow velocity and swirling flow, a rectifier can be installed on the upstream. At this time, the length of the straight pipe in the upstream part of the flow sensor L=10D is ok.
3, when the measured liquid contains solid impurities, should be installed in the upstream of the flow sensor filter, filter mesh number of 20 ~ 60 mesh (3 ~ 9 mesh /cm2), the general flow sensor aperture small mesh number more. The installation location of the filter should be considered to facilitate the removal and installation of the filter.
4. When the liquid is mixed with gas or easily vaporized liquid is measured, an air separator (air eliminator) shall be installed.
5. If the measured liquid is easily gasified, in order to prevent cavitation, the pressure at the outlet of the flow sensor should be higher than the Pmin calculated in the following formula:
Pmin = 2 P 1.25Pv: Pmin -- zui low pressure; Pressure loss of the flow meter;
Pv -- zui saturation vapor pressure of the liquid under test at high service temperature
6, the flow through the flow sensor is too large, will make the bearing life is too short, usually through the valve will flow to the appropriate size, the valve should be installed in the downstream of the flow meter.
7. In order not to interrupt fluid transportation during maintenance, globe valves are usually installed in the upstream and downstream of the flow sensor, and bypass pipes are set at the same time, and the bypass pipes shall not leak when the bypass valve is closed during measurement.
8. If reverse flow is possible, check valve should be added to prevent reverse flow of fluid.
9. The flow sensor shall be concentric with the pipe, and the sealing ring shall not protrude into the pipe.
10. To avoid gas accumulation in the flowmeter, the flowmeter should not be installed on the zui high point of the horizontal pipeline.
11. If the flow meter is installed at the low point of the pipeline, the discharge valve should be installed in the pipeline to discharge sediment regularly.
12. The front and rear pipelines of the flow sensor shall be firmly supported without obvious vibration.
13. When cleaning the newly laid pipeline, a short pipe shall be connected to the position where the flow sensor is installed, and the flow sensor shall be installed after the cleaning is completed.
14. When the temperature of the fluid needs to be measured, it shall be measured at the length of 5 times the nominal pipe diameter downstream of the flow sensor.
15. When the pressure of the fluid needs to be measured, it shall be measured at the length of 10 times the nominal pipe diameter upstream of the flow sensor.
11. Possible problems caused by installation:
1. Insufficient length of upstream and downstream straight pipe segments;
2. There is a big deviation between the inside diameter of the instrument measuring pipe and that of the pipe fitting;
3, installation of different heart, sealing pad convex tube;
4. Reverse instrument flow direction;
5. Detection elements are covered with impurities;
6. Low detection sensitivity and low flow rate;
7, pipeline leakage (such as installed in the underground pipeline, small leakage is not found), valve leakage, bypass valve leakage caused by the cumulative flow (total) is small;
8. Accurately measure the influence of two-phase flow and pulsating flow.

Xii. Matters needing attention in storage:
The flowmeter should be installed in time after it arrives. For the battery powered lrt-i meter head, the power pin should be placed in the "OFF" (disconnected) position when not in use, so as to avoid the impact of battery power consumption on the service life of the battery. For storage, please note the following:
1. Do not open the packing box for storage under possible conditions.
2. If the package has been opened or the meter has been used, please plug the lrt-i meter head power jumper in the "OFF" position and use the original package.
The storage place shall meet the following conditions:
