• The flowmeter BAMOFLONIC may only be used for measuring the flow of pure, homogeneous liquids. • The volume flowmeter BAMOFLONIC is manufactured and designed according to the current industry standard EN 61010 (corresponds to VDE 0411 “Safety specifications for electrical measurement, control and laboratory devices”).
1. Planning information 1.1 Areas of application The flow measurement device BAMOFLONIC is well suited for measuring dynamic flow in pipes and tubes. This flowmeter is suitable for liquids only. It is used for: • Chemicals supply for controlling, logistics, monitoring •...
The flowmeter must be installed in direction of the flow. For fastest possible bubble detection it is important to keep the pipe distance from tank to BAMOFLONIC as short as possible. Accurate measurement can only be assured, if the pipe is completely filled and the liquid does not outgas.
The best measuring result is reached, when bubbles are unable to get into the BAMOFLONIC. Fig. 3: Mounting examples of BAMOFLONIC For applications with a “clean design“ meaning that it is neces- sary to completely drain the pipe system, we recommend mounting the flowmeter in the vertical position.
3.1 Operation If the BAMOFLONIC is used as volume flowmeter for water or water-like liquids it will not require on-site calibration. Parameters for water are calibrated at the factory. Notwithstanding the BAMOFLONIC may also be supplied with customized settings. The coordination must be done at time of purchase order.
3.2 Functionalities and default settings Display and user menu: The BAMOFLONIC is equipped with a display to visualize actual measurement values and change parameters of the flowmeter. Navigation and changes are done by the four keys on the keypad. Fig. 8: Operating with the key pad When the “Set”...
In the sub menu “Set Offset” it is possible to set the actual offset of the flowmeter. This function should just be used when the BAMOFLONIC is completely filled with liquid and there is no flow. A small offset change e.g. caused by variable temperatures is...
A higher load prevents the device from providing the maximum current of 22mA. Pulse value This section determines the output settings for pulsed outputs. Choose configuration such as to neither exceed the maximum output frequency of the the BAMOFLONIC (10kHz) nor the maxi- mum input frequency of the control. Example: 2.0 ml/Pulse This means: a pulse is emitted every 2.0 ml.
(RS485) with the operating software or by using the user menu of the display. Dosing starts, as soon as line digital input is wired to 24 V, e.g. via a pushbutton. BAMOFLONIC will open the dosing valve via the output configured for it. When the pre-set dos- ing quantity is reached, the dosing valve is closed via the above output.
WARNING b) when using the dosing function, set a quantity Repair, hazardous substances Before sending the BAMOFLONIC for repair, the following precautions must be taken: • Clean all process chemicals from the device. Fully rinse the flow path. Please pay close attention to the process fittings.
