AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter 1. Introduction AFLO electromagnetic flowmeters offer reliable, precise and inexpensive flow measurement on all electrically conductive liquids. Typical applications are found in all industries. E.g.: Water sector: Potable water, treatment of chemicals, waste water and sludge.
AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter 1.2.TRANSMITTER The transmitter consists of a number of function blocks which convert the sensor voltage into flow readings. Figure (2) 2. Technical Specifications Transmitter ≥ 5 μS / cm Fluid conductivity ±0.5% Accuracy Keypad 4 control buttons -20…+60 ˚C...

OFF: No connection. Key 2 ON: Pulse output to OC gate when flow verification was taken.
AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter 5. Digital outputs Digital output means frequency output and pulse output, and both of them use the same output point, so user can choose only one type of them not both Digital voltage output connection as shown in figure (15) Figure (15) Photoelectricity coupling (PLC etc.) connection as shown in figure (16)

AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter 8- Flow Direct If users think the direct and design are different, just change the direct parameter is OK, but not change exciting or signal. 9- Flow zero Make sure the sensor is full of fluid, and the fluid is stable. Flow zero is shown as velocity of flow, mm/s.

AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter 13- Output currents Output current types can be chosen by users as 1~10mA or 4~20mA practically. 14- Pulse Type Two kinds of Pulse Outputs can be chosen: Frequency Output and Pulse Output. Frequency Output is continuous square waveform and Pulse output is a serial wave of square wave. Frequency output is mainly used for instant flow and total integrated flow in short time measurement.

Sensor Coefficient Parameter when it runs with converter. 25- Field Type AFLO affords three exciting frequency types: 1/16 frequency (type 1), 1/20frequency (type 2), 1/25 frequency (type 3). The small-bore one should use 1/16 frequency, and large-bore one should use 1/20 or 1/25 frequency.

This coefficient can select the width of time of restrain cuspidal disturb and the unit is ms. If the duration is shorter than flow change in some time, AFLO will think it is cuspidal disturb, and if it is longer, AFLO will think it is natural.

AFLO-Electromagnetic Flow Meter 8. MOUNTING CONDITIONS CAUTION Sensor should always be full with fluid. The direction of flow in vertical pipes must be upward. In case of sensor nominal size is less than pipe size reduction should be done with 8° angle.
- Humidity must be less than 80% NOTE: Because of AKTEK’s policy of improving their products, the AFLO, would be revised and improved. Please inform us about misunderstandings or errors which you may find in this manual comparing it to the device you bought. Do not hesitate to contact us to suggest how to improve our devices.
