Electromagnetic Flow Meter METER LOCATION, ORIENTATION AND APPLICATIONS The SSK provides two ampliﬁer mounting options: an integral or meter mount option and a junction box/remote option . Meter mount amplifier l fi Junction box with remote amplifier l fi Figure 5: Amplifier Mounting Options The ampliﬁer can be installed and operated outdoors.
Page 9: Meter Orientation
Horizontal Placement SSK513 are equipped with an Empty Pipe Detection feature. If an electrode mounted in the pipe is not covered by ﬂuid for ﬁve seconds, the meter will display an Empty Pipe Detection condition. The meter will send out an error message and stop measuring ﬂow When the electrode is again covered with ﬂuid, the error message disappears and the meter will begin...
Page 10: Straight Pipe Requirements
Electromagnetic Flow Meter Straight Pipe Requirements Suﬃcient straight-pipe runs are required at the detector inlet and outlet for optimum meter accuracy and performance. An equivalent of three diameters of straight pipe is required on the inlet (upstream) side. Two diameters are required on the outlet (downstream) side.
Page 11: Chemical Injection Applications
Installation & Operation Manual Chemical Injection Applications For water line applications with a chemical injection point, install the meter upstream of the injection point. This eliminates any meter performance issues. FLOWMETER CHEMICAL INJECTION HERE FORWARD FLOW UPSTREAM DOWNSTREAM Figure 10: Chemical Injection Point Upstream of Meter If a meter must be installed downstream of a chemical injection connection, the distance between the meter and the injection point should be between 50 and 100 feet (15 and 30 meters).
Page 12: Partially-Filled Pipe Situations
Electromagnetic Flow Meter Partially-Filled Pipe Situations In some locations, the process pipe may be momentarily only partially ﬁlled. Examples include: lack of back pressure, insuﬃcient line pressure and gravity ﬂow applications. To eliminate these situations, do not install the meter at the highest point of the pipeline. WRONG Figure 12: Incorrect Meter Placement Do not install the meter in a vertical, downward ﬂow section of pipe.
Page 13: Meter Gaskets And Grounding
Conductive Pipe Grounding To achieve an adequate ground, the meter body MUST be electrically connected to the liquid media. The SSK ﬂanges are provided with grounding bolts for this purpose.
Page 14: Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding
Electromagnetic Flow Meter Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding IMPORTANT If the process pipe is not electrically conductive (PVC, ﬁberglass, cement-lined pipes or any other non-conductive material) and the meter was not originally ordered with an optional grounding electrode, you must install a pair of grounding rings between the mating ﬂanges at both ends of the meter.
Page 15: Wiring
• Use twisted pair shielded wire for all output wiring. • Observe all applicable, local electrical codes. Opening the SSK Cover The SSK ampliﬁer's design lets you open the cover without completely removing it . Cover is attached with display ribbon cable.
Page 16: External Disconnect
Remove the junction box lid. Carefully remove the wires connected to the terminal blocks that run to the SSK . See the chart below for a reference of wire color to terminal connection.

Clearing T1 also clears the associated rollover counter. The uni-directional totalizer is reset within the menu manager, through remote communications or with properly-conﬁgured digital input (function = remote reset).
Page 40 Electromagnetic Flow Meter Communication: Port Settings This parameter establishes the MODBUS RTU address. MODBUS RTU requests will only be processed Port Address if the conﬁgured port address of the meter matches the request address found in the MODBUS RTU packet. The range of addresses supported by MODBUS RTU is 1…247. MODBUS RTU request packets with an address of 0 imply the packet is to be treated as a broadcast packet.

Page 43 Installation & Operation Manual Advanced Features Unit Multiplier The Unit Multiplier establishes the number of units of measure that have to accumulate before the display totalizers are updated. This is also known as setting the number of “dead” zeroes in the display [Oﬀ] totalizer.
Page 44 Electromagnetic Flow Meter Protocol Type The protocol type enables the ADE interface. Selecting S1 or S2 will automatically conﬁgure the Digital Input and Digital Output #1 for ADE operation. Manually conﬁguring the input and output for ADE operation is not allowed and will result in a on-screen error.
Page 45 Installation & Operation Manual Advanced Features Software Filter Description The software ﬁlter operates as an acceleration ﬁlter. This ﬁlter when conﬁgured properly allows for ﬁltering of fast changes in ﬂuid ﬂow. Generally, this ﬁlter is used in applications having highly conductive ﬂuids. This ﬁlter is intended to help provide smoothing of the analog output and display ﬂuctuations.
Page 46 Electromagnetic Flow Meter Advanced Features Software Filter Constant Flow During normal ﬂow conditions, there is always a non-zero acceleration component. [150 M /Sec For example, if acceleration of the ﬂow activates the ﬁlter, the meter will assume constant ﬂow for the duration of the ﬁlter delay time unless the ﬂow returns within limits.
Page 47 Installation & Operation Manual Advanced Features Empty Pipe Cal. Fluid conductivity impacts the performance of empty pipe measurements. If you require empty pipe detection, you should perform this empty pipe calibration procedure. [Default] Before starting the empty pipe calibration, verify that empty pipe detection is enabled. Also, run both the empty pipe and the full pipe calibration procedures.

Page 49 Installation & Operation Manual Info/Help Error Counts Description This menu provides a diagnostic view of the meter’s performance. Below are several system diagnostic counters and their deﬁnitions. Use discretion when interpreting these counters. These values could be altered during system setup or when using the veriﬁcation device.
Page 50 Electromagnetic Flow Meter Info/Help The number of times the totalizers have rolled over 9,999,999,999 (10 billion). Rollover Counts As the meter rolls over, a status indicator appears in the display. When this occurs, we suggest that you record the totalizers and rollover counter and reset the totalizers. Resetting totalizers will also clear the rollover counter.

This alternate language choice is set at the factory. The options are: Spanish, German, Czech or French. [English] To select the language, follow these steps from the Language Select menu: 1.
Page 52: Ade Interface
Electromagnetic Flow Meter ADE INTERFACE This feature requires ﬁrmware version 1.10 or later. Reference SSK P/N 6734-003 to obtain a ﬁrmware upgrade kit Enabling the meter as an ADE register requires three settings, all within the advanced menu, to be conﬁgured.
Page 53 Installation & Operation Manual The following table demonstrates how the totalizers are displayed under various conﬁgurations of the Unit Multiplier (that is, resolution) and Dial Type. The non-shaded digits are transmitted as deﬁned by the dial type. For example, if the dial type is 4-dial and the resolution is 10000 then an arbitrary totalizer value of 99999999 is displayed on the meter as 99990000 and 9999 is transmitted to the receiving application.

Page 56: Troubleshooting
The SSK meter is designed for many years of optimal performance. However, should it malfunction, there are certain things that we recommend you check before contacting our Technical Support department or your local SSK Representative. OTE: If the ﬂuid measured has a high concentration of conductive solids, deposits may accumulate on the internal liner walls and electrodes.
Page 57 Type. Conﬁguring the SSK513 as an ADE interface has the following limitations, Protocol Type V1 is only allowed if number of dials is less than 8. The resolution of the totalizers (i.e. Unit Multiplier) must be set to something other than OFF.
