INTRODUCTION The electronic transmitters CP420L and CH420L are designed to work with flowmeters series COVOL and turbines series TM. The instruments are supplied already configured for the type of input. The circuit is based on a microprocessor that, in function of the k factor (pulses per litre) programmed, calculates the flow rate and totalizes the volume that flows through the meter and shows these values on a local indicator.
Pulse input For the CP … CH420L, sensor connections are the following Terminal n. COVOL Common Ground Live Live — Live For the CP … CH420R, the connection is made directly from the instrument to the terminals 1 and 2, regardless of the polarity.
OPERATION In order for the instrument indicates an actual flow rate and volume, the k factor specified on the meter must be programmed. To do this, in a CP … CH420L, the plastic cover must be removed by unscrewing the four screws on the corners. After that, the push buttons will be accessible.
4.1.2 Measuring units In this screen the measuring units can be programmed. To change the flow rate units, the push button marked with the arrow pointing upwards, must be pushed. To change the totalized volume units, the push button marked with the arrow pointing left must be pushed.
After that, the flow rate equivalent to 20 mA (upper range) can be programmed. In a CH420L, if during the programming sequence it receives a HART command that must be attended, the local programming will not be valid and all the data previously programmed will be lost.
EXAMPLE OF USEFUL CALCULATIONS The calibration of the flowmeters is made with water at 20ºC. If other characteristics from the above specified are used or for reasons of turbulences in the flow, measurement errors can be induced. To correct these types of errors, the k (pulses per litre factor) programmed in the instrument can be modified.
Numbr of Common Practice Commands Number of Device Specific Commands Bits of Additional Device Status Alternative operating modes? Burst mode? Write Protection? Analog loop electrical characteristics for communications : Reception Impedance: > 8,5 MΩ < 200 pF KEYBOARD LOCK AND “WRITE PROTECT” The transmitter has a jumper situated behind the display on the left hand side which can be used to avoid changes in the configuration.
Input characteristics NOTE: The input terminals are not isolated from the 4-20 mA loop. Under no circumstances can an electrical connection be made between the 4-20 mA loop and the inputs. In the event of supplying various transmitters with the same power supply one must make sure that the inputs isolated between each other (except the shields of the turbine pick-ups which can be connected together).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The converters series CP are in conformity with all essential requirements of all EC directives applicable to them: 2014/30/EU Electromagnetic compatibility directive (EMC) 2012/19/EU Waste electric and electronic equipment directive (WEEE). 2011/65/EU Directive relating restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (ROHS).
11.1.2 Connecting conductive parts to earth When the instrument is not grounded securely through the connection process, it should be grounded through the housing screw, as shown in the figure. Earthing screw 11.1.3 Maintenance NOTE: Before any maintenance that involves opening the flameproof enclosure, make sure there is no voltage in any of internal components.
