1.4 ADDITIONAL REQUIRED MATERIALS Installer is responsible for providing suitable fl anges and fasteners to connect the meter to the process piping. In addition, most installations will also require one reducer, one expander, pipe supports and a suffi cient length of straight pipe (pipe diameter = meter size) to meet the installation requirements outlined in this manual. Use of an optional fl ow rectifi er may be required in cases where the available space is not suffi cient to allow fo

SECTION 2.0: UNPACKING F-2000 series vortex fl ow meters are shipped in one package. Additional items, if ordered, will be shipped in separate packaging. All shipments are insured for damage in transit. Carefully inspect each package and notify the freight carrier and ONICON immediately if any items arrive damaged. 2.1 ENSURING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING Standard Documentation Each ONICON fl ow meter is serialized and supplied with a comprehensive documentation package specifi

SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION INFORMATION The F-2000 series vortex fl ow meter must be installed by a technician qualifi ed to work with pressurized liquid, steam and/or gas fl ow and must conform to all federal, state and local building codes. ONICON will be happy to assist with technical recommendations and to provide guidance via telephone or mail. On-site engineering, installation and service are also available, at additional cost. 3.1 SITE SELECTION Careful attention in locating the point i

3.1.3 Straight, Unimpeded Inlet And Outlet Runs D = Meter Size (Nominal diameter in inches) With a fl ow straightener, the inlet pipe length may be reduced by 50%. For example, with a control valve upstream, the inlet length is 25D instead of 50D. The minimum inlet pipe length including the fl ow straightener must always be at least 12D. 3.1.4 Minimizing Pipe Vibration Pipe vibration caused, for example, by the action of pumps, valves, etc. will distort fl ow measurements, pa

3.1.5 Locating The Meter In A Pipline That Runs Parallel To A Wall Wherever possible, the distance between the pipe centerline and the wall should be greater than 20”. This will allow for access to the electronics enclosure compartment where wire terminations are made. If adequate space is not available, fi rst connect all the cables to the terminals in the connection compartment (power supply and outputs) and then run the wires to an intermediate junction box (also see Section 3

3.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 3.2.1 Orient The Display For Convenient Viewing Both the electronics enclosure and the display itself can be rotated to four different orientations to change the viewing angle for the display. If necessary, this should be done before the meter is installed. 3.2.1.1 Rotating the electronics enclosure The electronics enclosure is attached to the meter body with (4) 5mm Allen head screws. To rotate the enclosure, you must fi rst remove the screws a

3.2.1.2 Rotating the display To rotate the display, fi rst unscrew the cover using the special tool provided for this purpose. Once the cover is removed, the (4) Philips head screws that secure the display are exposed. To rotate the display, remove these screws and carefully move it to the desired position making certain that the interconnecting cable is not damaged in the process. CAUTION • Do not remove enclosure covers in any wet environment ! • Keep dirt and debris out

3.3.2 Temperature Measurements ONICON F-2000 series vortex meters are supplied with an internal PT 1000 type RTD temperature sensor located within the shedder bar. This sensor provides an accurate temperature measurement at the point where the fl ow rate is being measured. Flow meters supplied with this option will display the medium temperature and deliver an output signal that is temperature compensated for mass and/or normalized fl ow. 3.3 WIRING TERMINATIONS The standard F-2

SECTION 4.0: START UP AND TROUBLESHOOTING 4.1 START UP When the power is applied to the F-2000 series vortex meter, alphanumeric characters will appear on the display. Initially, the meter will operate in a “TEST” mode where self diagnostic checks are performed on the pre-amplifi er and sensor circuits. Following this, confi guration data is loaded from the non-volatile memory and the program advances to the measurement mode. IMPORTANT NOTE The meter should be installed and powered for at

4.4 ERROR HANDLING The meter can detect errors in either the test or the measurement modes. When in the measurement mode, a blinking vertical bar will appear in the top left corner of the display indicating an error has been detected. If the error reporting function is enabled, error messages will be displayed as separate menu pages. The fi rst line of the error menu page indicates the total number of errors and the second line displays the error message. Measurement mode error messages
