  • Page 7: Product Description

    This 2-wire device provides an analog response by way of a 4-20 mA signal, digital feedback via HART communication, and a visual indication of change on an LCD. There are two variations of this meter; the SmartPD nutating disc (SND), and the SmartPD oscillating piston (SOP). The SmartPD meter is capable of measuring volume and flow rate for a wide range of materials in a number of different industries.

    ® www.niagarameters.com IV. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION WARNING: USE THE METER ONLY WITH THE LIQUID FOR WHICH IT WAS ORDERED AND WITHIN THE SPECIFIED LIMITS OF PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND FLOW RATE. MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS - If fl uid is prone to sediment, consider adding a trap strainer to the system - arranging the strainer so it can be easily cleaned. See Figure 11 as an example. In gravity-pressure installations, set the meter to take advantage of all possible pressure head.

    ® www.niagarameters.com NOTE: To help keep air out, do not let the meter drain between periods of usage. Trap the meter in a depression in the pipeline if necessary. Keep suction lines and pump stuffing boxes tight. If air cannot be kept out of a line handling light oils or solvents, use an air release value between the pump and meter. NOTE: The meter must be operated within its proper capacity range;...

Connect external loop power to pins 10 & 11 of the remote electronics terminal strip. Figure 15. SmartPD Remote Wiring Diagram WIRING FROM JUNCTION BOX (ATTACHED TO METER)
  • Page 18: Hart Communication

    HART COMMUNICATION The SmartPD can be accessed using a variety of HART compliant devices. See Figure 16. HART Wiring. (HART Protocols are available; please see HART Protocol Guide.) The received value for the HART current sense resistor is 500 Ohms as shown in Figure 16. To determine the minimum supply voltage, refer to the Minimum Power Supply equation.
