〈SENSOR (WAFER TYPE) 〉 〈SENSOR (FLANGE TYPE) 〉 Thank you for selecting the thermistor type OVAL VORTEX FLOWMETER. Every OVAL product is fabricated and shipped from our factory under stringent quality control. In order to maintain its design performance throughout the life of your meter, this manual offers the operator the necessary installation, operation and maintenance information.
D-160TS-7-E 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN 1.1 Confirming the Specifications (1)Once the flowmeter is received, inspect its appearance and confirm that it is not damaged during transit. (2)Product code and specifications are indicated in the nameplate of the flowmeter. Make sure that information on the nameplate conforms to your particular specifications.
Read them carefully before you place the meter in service. [Example of Converter Nameplate] 3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The OVAL VORTEX FLOWMETER is a vortex flowmeter with thermistor sensors, designed for gas measurement. Downstream of the bluff body, von Karman vortices form and shed alternately proportional to the rate of flow on either side of that triangular body placed perpendicular to the stream of flow.
D-160TS-7-E 4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION As a stream of fluid runs through the pipe, von Karman's vortices form and shed proportionally to the flowrate downstream of the bluff body located perpendicular to the stream of flow. Thermistor sensors in the sensor housing pick up these Karman vortices.
D-160TS-7-E 5. CONSTRUCTION (Component Names and Functions) (1)Sensor ① Meter body assembly It consists of a measuring pipe and a bluff body. As the metered fluid runs, Karman vortices form and shed downstream of the bluff body. ② Sensor assembly The assembly contains sensors to detect Karman vortices.
Accordingly, proper flow straightening measures must be taken when installing the OVAL VORTEX FLOWMETER. In applications where OVAL straightening devices (flow straightener, Honey vane, and downstream pipe) are used, a straight pipe section is not required unless otherwise specified.
Page 9
(3)Space Saving Arrangement If required straight pipe length is not available upstream of the vortex flowmeter due to existing restrictions on installation location, the OVAL Honey Vane S combined with a short pipe may be used for space saving. ● Honey Vane Outline Dimensions Unit:mm...
D-160TS-7-E 6.2 Pipes to be Used Upstream and downstream pipes adjacent to the flowmeter should be of the same internal diameter (ID) as the flowmeter. (The exclusive flow straightener, Honey Vane L, and downstream short pipe have the same ID as the flowmeter.) The table below shows the standard ID of the flowmeter.
D-160TS-7-E 6.5 Meter Installation To prevent troubles such as adverse effects on meter accuracy and gas leaks, the following should be taken into consideration when installing the meter: ① Make sure that the flow direction conforms to the arrow mark on the meter.
D-160TS-7-E 6.6 Lagging Work If temperature of the measured fluid exceeds 60℃ , even with explosionproof enclosure, the flowmeter must be insulated thermally (lagging). To facilitate maintenance and servicing, simple lagging (without mortar finish) is recommended around the flowmeter. Do not install lagging ...
D-160TS-7-E 6.8 Pulsation The performance of the flowmeter can be affected if pressure pulsation from instruments such as roots blower or compressor is significant. Minimize the pulsation pressure as much as possible by referring to the following equation: N< 22 ρ V...
D-160TS-7-E 〈Procedure〉 ① Turn off the power. ② Remove the cover clamp then remove the cover. A hex key (JIS B 4648, nominal size 3) is required. (Fig.6.12) ③ Separate the shield strip. A Phillips screwdriver Sensor Leads is required. (Fig.6.13) ④...

D-160TS-7-E (3) Wiring between converter and sensor Converter (PA21) SHIELD Sensor terminal box ★Sensor terminal box must be installed using intrinsically safe installation procedure. Fig. 8.2 ★ If there is wrong wiring in the connection between converter and detector, the converter may not start up normally even if the power supply is turned ON or an error alarm will be generated.
D-160TS-7-E 8.2 Wiring Considerations ① Use crimp terminals for M4 screw at the cable ends. ② This instrument uses the cable gland (pressure-tight packing) method of IEC harmonized standards for the external conductor entry of flameproof explosionproof configuration. Do not use cable glands other than the accompanying cable gland (not included with non-explosionproof products).
D-160TS-7-E 9.OPERATION Initiate operation in the following steps: ① Confirming the fluid specification Make sure that the fluid specification (composition, pressure, temperature, etc.) conforms to the meter specifications. ② Leak check Fill the meter with the fluid and check for any leak.
Error active: on, Alarm active: blink 10.2 Basic Operation 10.2.1 Setting Mode and Measuring Mode There are two modes available with the OVAL VORTEX FLOWMETER: Measuring Mode and Setting Mode. 「Measuring Mode」 : Appears after powering on or exiting Setting Mode explained in section 12.
D-160TS-7-E 10.2.2 Key Operation Key operations of OVAL VORTEX FLOWMETER are performed by holding the accompanying switching magnet (Fig.7.1) close to magnetic switch areas [SEL key] and [ENT key]. Magnet sensors detect the switching magnet and turn the key input ON.
D-160TS-7-E 11. MEASURING MODE 11.1 Measuring Mode Display Measuring Mode appears after powering on or exiting Setting Mode explained in section 12, showing the display as figure on the right. The upper display shows % flow rate. This display can be switched between % flow rate and MODE by key operation.
D-160TS-7-E 11.3 Switching Display Display contents can be switched on Measuring Mode. To do so, use [ENT] key to focus (blinking) on the upper display, then use [SEL] key input to change the display contents. Focusing turns off if no key input is made within 10 seconds.
The default password is "0000" and the password function is "disabled" as factory setting. When enabling the password function, please be careful about handling of the password. (In case you forget the password, contact the nearest OVAL sales/service office or representative in your area.) Measuring Mode/Setting Mode switching operation...
D-160TS-7-E 12.2 Setting Mode Menu Operation Use [SEL] and [ENT Hold] to navigate between items in Setting Mode. At each item, "level code" is displayed for 2 seconds to indicate the setting item. See section 13. MENU TREE for details of each setting item.
D-160TS-7-E 12.3 Parameter Change Parameter can be changed by the following procedure: Select the desired item to display the current setting of the parameter on the bottom display. Perform [ENT Hold] to activate parameter editing mode. CAUTION: To prevent unexpected erroneous operation, perform setting changes at zero flow condition as a general rule.
D-160TS-7-E 12.3.2 Numeric Parameter Setting (e.g. Hi alarm) Once parameter editing mode is active, the leftmost digit of the parameter starts blinking ("focused"). [SEL] to change the value of the focused digit and [ENT] to shift the focused digit to the right.
D-160TS-7-E 12.3.3 How to read exponent The exponent is used as [Significant figure × Exponent (n power of 10)]. For example, to enter [123.45], which can be written as 1.2345 × 10 , enter 1.2345E2. (10 =100) To set negative exponent, for example [0.012345] which can be written as 1.2345 × 10 , enter 1.2345-2.
