FEP630, FEH630 ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER | CI/FEP630/FEH630-EN REV. D 65
Monitoring the conductivity
The conductivity of the liquid can be monitored by setting
minimum / maximum alarm thresholds.
As soon as the alarm thresholds are up-scaled, the digital output
triggers an alarm, if configured accordingly.
The conductivity is available as 4 to 20 mA output (option card).
Requirements for use:
• Conductivity of the measuring medium:
20 to 20000 ιS/cm.
• Nominal diameter DN 10 to 300 (¡ to 12 in).
Installation conditions:
• The measuring electrodes must be free of coverings.
Setup
The conductivity monitoring must be matched to the measuring
medium on site.

Cond. Iout Min Value Set the 4 mA and 20 mA value which correspond
to the upper and lower range of the conductivity
value.

Monitoring the electrode impedance
The measurement monitors the impedance between the
measuring electrode and grounding and activates an alarm if the
impedance drops below a limit. The function is activated
together with the conductivity measurement.
Requirements for use:
• Conductivity of the measuring medium:
20 to 20000 ιS/cm.
Additional installation conditions:
• When using plastic piping, install a grounding plate at the
front and back of the device.
• There must not be any deposits on the measuring
electrodes.
• The measuring tube must always be completely full, and
the measuring medium must have only minor deviations
in conductivity.
