SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 DESCRIPTION The OMEGA@ FTB500 Series Low Flowmeters offer extremely accurate low flow measurement of liquids and gases. They utilize a pelton wheel-like rotor whose motion is converted into a pulse output proportional to flow by a pickup coil. They come with an integral signal conditioner, powered by either 15-35 VDC or 115 VAC (optional) to provide amplified frequency and analog output. The signal conditioner corrects for the inherent zero off- set of the flowmeter pu

Block Diagram The basic operation of the system is as follows: The frequency signal from the flowmeter is connected to the FTB500 with a twisted pair shielded cable. The signal enters through the SENSITIVITY control which

The signal entering the frequency to analog converter is passed through a combination of divide by N and DIP switch matrix. The output is chosen whose pulse rate is between 75 and 150 Hz at the maximum flow rate to be measured. This scaled pulse rate is fed into a precision monostable cir- cuit. The output of the monostable is then filtered into an analog voltage that is proportional to flow. The output amplifier will take this voltage and perform either a voltage to voltage amplifier or voltage

Over the linear flow range, the input/output characteristics takes the form of: Equation 1 Frequency = C, x Flowrate-C, The FTB500 Series Turbine Meter requires the use of a linearization con- ditioner available in all OMEGA instrumentation. Accuracies of *l% of reading are typical after initial correction for offset. Better accuracies ap- proaching *2% are possible using smart transmitters which can store the entire characteristics of the FTB500 Series Turbine Meter. The K-Factor is the number

1.3.2 Viscosity Effects An ideal flowmeter may be defined as one in which the output is solely a function of the fluid flow being measured. Real flowmeters display dependencies on secondary fluid properties, such as viscosity temperature, and/or pressure. These effects tend to obscure or degrade the precision of the flow measurement. In very few flowmeter designs, the viscosity dependency is well understood and given suitable documentation, may be compensated for. The OMEGA instruments are among

2.2 OPERATION Perform any purging of piping with spool piece in place. Once completed, install the flowmeter and connect cabling to pickup coil. With the FTB500 Mini Flow Signal Conditioner properly installed and calibrated, verify the following performance. With the power ON and no flow through the flowmeter, there should be no pulse output from the unit. To verify this, connect either a digital Frequen- cy Counter or an AC voltmeter. If using a Digital Frequency Counter, the display should dis

The piping configuration immediately preceeding and following the flowmeter is termed the meter run. METER RUN -In general, the meter run should be chosen to have the same inner diameter as the meter bore. A minimum of IO pipe diameters of straight pipe upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream are required. Where this optimum line configuration can not be implemented, it is ad- visable to install a flow straightener properly positioned upstream of the flowmeter. Orientation is not a critical fac

It is common to transmit the low level output signal from the flowmeter several hundred feet through a shielded, twisted pair instrument cable. Where a noisy environment is suspect, it is recommended that a pre- amplifier be installed on or near the flowmeter to assure the preservation of flow information from the flowmeter to the electronic measuring system. Suitable accessory models are available from the manufacturer. 2.5 INSTALLATION OF THE FTB500 MINI FLOW SIGNAL CONDITIONER The FTB500 sho

Connect the line power and ground to appropriate terminals. The line power should be an ‘instrument grade ’ line whose various loads do not contain solenoids, valves or other similar transient producing load which might adversely affect the operation of the system. Connect the cabling to the pulse output and to the inputs of the final measurement system. Observe same precautions listed for interconnecting cabling.

Inject the TEST frequency and observe that the frequency equals 10 x F(OS). For analog, go to Section 3.4. For pulse, continue to step 3. 3. Connect frequency counter to the output of the unit and with an in- jected TEST frequency, verify that the output frequency equals F(OUT) in the equation stated above. 3.4 CALIBRATION OF FTBBOO ANALOG OUTPUT 3.4.1 Set Up The sig
