Page 7
6F8A0882 Handling Precautions (continued) (9) Since a varistor is built in converter, do not conduct a withstand voltage test for the converter. In addition, the voltage for checking the insulation of the converter must be 250VDC or lower.
Make sure the type and specifications of the flowmeter are in accordance with the ordered specifications. If you cannot find the items listed above or any problem exists, contact your nearest Toshiba representative. 1.2 Strage To store the electromagnetic flowmeter after opening the package, select a storing place as follows...
Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction. The device consists of two units: the GF630 and GF632 detector, through which the fluid to be measured flows, and the converter, which receives the electromotive force signals from the detector, then converts the signals into the 4–20 mA dc signal.

6F8A0882 4.1 Notes on Selecting the Installation Location Avoid places within the immediate proximity of equipment producing electrical interference (such as motors, transformers, radio transmitters, electrolytic cells, or other equipment causing electromagnetic or electrostatic interference). Avoid places where excessive pipe vibration occurs. Avoid places where fluid runs in a pulsating form.
Page 17
6F8A0882 (2) Preventing an Empty Pipe Condition Fix the relevant pipes installed on both sides of the detector by attach fittings, etc. to support the pipe. By supporting the pipes, not only the pipe vibration is reduced but also the damage to the pipes by the electromagnetic flowmeter's weight and the fluid mass (see Figures 4.2 and 4.3).

6F8A0882 5.4 Wiring 5.4.1 Terminal Treatment of Cables Follow the procedures below to treat the terminals (at the converter side) of various cables and install the cables to the terminal block. Use appropriate cables based on the description in Section 5.1 "Cables." Crimp a round type insulated crimp-type terminal to the end of the cables.
Page 34
6F8A0882 (3) Connecting the input signal cable Separate Strip the sheath from the end of each conductor of a 2-core individually shielded cable as shown in Figure 5.4. Twist those shields and cover them with a thermal contraction tube or vinyl tube not to make contact with the case or core wires.
Page 35
6F8A0882 5.4.2 Cable Connection Separate Connect and install the terminal-treated cables to the terminal block. *Connect the cables to the terminal block securely. A loose connection may cause incorrect measurement. After connecting a cable, try to pull it to check whether it has been connected securely. (1) Put the terminated signal cable and excitation cable through this cable gland and packing as shown in Figure 5.5 .
Page 36
6F8A0882 (3)After the terminal board connection, pull the cable a little so that the cable runs straight from the terminal board without unnecessary winding. However, if the sheath-removed part goes as far as where the packing is located, air may leave through there and the airtight structure may not function. See the incorrect example in Figure 5.7.
