A, L, Z General Vane / Piston Switch Manual Installation and Operation Manual for series: PI, LL, LP, LH, SN, SM, SH, MN, MM, MH, SX and MX for A, L or Z control boxes with 0, 1 or 2 switches. 1.1.
1.2. Installation For best results, the meters may be installed in any position as long as proper piping installation requirements are observed. This includes sufficient support of adjacent piping to minimize the system’s inherent vibration. Unions of the same pipe size and full port isolation ball valves may be installed for ease of removal and servicing of equipment, if necessary.
WARNING: This instrument was made for the specific use stated at the time of order. Any other use may cause injury. Read instructions before using the device. Supply Connections—Wire Sizes: Wire used to connect any Switches included must be in accordance with all local and national codes.

2.2. Introduction to HART® Field Device Specifications 2.2.1. Scope The Universal Flow Monitors water flow transmitter, model ME Transmitter complies with HART Protocol Revision 7.0. This document specifies all the device specific features and documents HART Protocol implementation details (e.g., the Engineering Unit Codes supported). The functionality of this Field Device is described sufficiently to allow its proper application in a process and its complete support in HART capable Host Applications.
2.3.2. Host Interface Analog Output 1: Process Flow The two-wire 4 to 20 mA current loop is connected to two terminals on the transmitter circuit board.

4.1. Installation For best results, the meters may be installed in any position as long as proper piping installation requirements are observed. This includes sufficient support of adjacent piping to minimize the system’s inherent vibration. Unions of the same pipe size and full port isolation ball valves may be installed for ease of removal and servicing of equipment, if necessary.
4.4. Product Overview The ME Transmitter is a two-wire loop-powered flow transmitter, with a 4 to 20 mA output. This transmitter uses a non-contact magnetic encoder for measuring the displacement of the shaft/pointer on standard UFM flowmeters. It is an add-on feature to PI, LL, LP, LH, SN, SM, SH, MN, MM, MH, SX, MX, LN, LE and XHF model flow meters as manufactured by Universal Flow Monitors, Inc.
A guaranteed linear over-range is provided. The up-scale current of 24 mA can indicate device malfunction. Current values are shown in the table below. Direction Values (percent of range) Values (mA or V) Linear over-range Down 0% ± 0.5% 3.92 to 4.08 mA +106.25% ±...

This includes sufficient support of adjacent piping to minimize the system’s inherent vibration. Unions of the same pipe size and full port isolation ball valves may be installed for ease of removal and servicing of equipment, if necessary.
5.4. Process Interface 5.4.1. Magnetic Sensors There are two built-in hall-effect sensors measuring the rotation of a permanent magnet that is mounted onto the flowmeter shaft. As the shaft rotates with flow, the sensors provide analog readings that are in turn converted to a digital value by and A/D converter. The digital values are then processed by the microcontroller and linearized, and subsequently converted to a scaled analog output via a D/A converter in the range of 4 to 20 mA.

After the last digit is set, continue holding A2 until “SEt” is displayed. If you want to change the first digit again, do not hold A2. Momentarily press and release A2 and the first digit starts blinking again. When finished recording the new setpoint (“SEt” is displayed), release A2. Figure 23: Press and release A2 Note: Valid setpoint range is 0-100% of full-scale flow.
