MIM- 3. Instrument Inspection Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition. Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service / forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during transit.
MIM- 6. Operating principle 6.1 General The new KOBOLD MIM Flowmeter is designed to measure and monitor small and medium flows of conductive fluids in piping. The device works on the magnetic-inductive measuring principle. According to Faraday's law of induction, a voltage is induced in a conductor moving in a magnetic field.
MIM- 7. Mechanical connection 7.1 Check operating conditions flow rate max. operating pressure max. operating temperature In general, MIM is subjected to the same loads as the piping into which it is installed. The MIM should therefore be kept away from extreme loads, such as pressure surges with strong, dynamic pipe movements, vibrations in the proximity of centrifugal pumps, high temperature media, flooding etc.

MIM- 9.3 Menu Mode In menu mode, all device parameters can be set. The individual parameters are arranged in menu groups by function. While the menu mode is activated, the signal processing and the outputs are still active in the background. However, all display parameters and outputs are updated after exiting the menu mode or in the measuring mode.
The flowmeter MIM is pre-configured in factory. Changing the parameters "Measuring range" and "Sensor constant" or "K factor" is therefore not permitted. The adjustment of these parameters is only possible on the part of Kobold- factory. In the event of subsequent changes to volume or throughput units, the dependent parameters are converted and adjusted accordingly.
MIM- 10.3 Display 10.3.1 Refresh Parameter "Refresh" defines the time interval within which the measuring variables are displayed. The "Refreshrate" can be increased in steps of 0.5 sec. to 10 sec. An increase in the refresh rate time causes an increased "filtering" of the display value.

MIM- 10.6.1.2 Output type The parameter "Output type" defines the function of the transistor output. NPN, PNP or PP (push-pull) output types are available. The push-pull type combines NPN and PNP and is therefore the best choice for most circuits. All outputs are short circuit and overload protected.

MIM- 10.6.3 Pulse output MIM flowmeter provides a scalable pulse output. When the pulse output is activated, the cyclically incoming volume is available as a pulse train at the output. The pulse width of the pulse output is constant and can be set in a range of 1 ms up to 20 s.
Page 30
MIM- ∗ 22500 ∗ Pulse volume L If the condition is not met, there may be a time lag of the pulse output. This is particularly undesirable if dosing tasks are to be performed with the pulse signal. The following table shows the different combinations of pulse volume and pulse width for the different measuring ranges, in which the above limiting condition is fulfilled.

MIM- 10.6.3.1 Pulse volume The parameter "Pulse volume" is defined as volume quantity for the output of a pulse; the unit is corresponding to [volume quantity / pulse]. The likewise common pulse rate [pulse / volume unit] corresponds to the reciprocal of the pulse volume.

MIM- 12. Dosing function The standard MIM provides a simple dosing function. This can be permanently activated or deactivated in the settings menu under the menu item "dosing". If the dosing function is activated, fixed functions are assigned to the 2 outputs which cannot be changed as long as the dosing function is activated: OUT2 (Pin 2): Dosing output in push pull configuration...
Page 41
MIM- START of dosing: Dosing can be started either by triggering the "START" softkey or by applying a high pulse to the control input. After the START function has been triggered, the dosing output is switched to active (High) and the dosing counter is counted down in the standard direction when flow is present.
