FEP630, FEH630 ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER  |  OI/FEP630/FEH630-EN REV. D  119 
 
 
 
Detection of gas bubbles 
Gas bubbles in the measuring medium influence the flow 
measurement values and the measuring accuracy. 
It is possible to issue a gas bubble alarm if the actual gas bubble 
value exceeds the configured threshold. 
This alarm message is shown on the display. The digital output 
triggers an alarm if configured accordingly. 
 
Requirements for use: 
•  Nominal diameter DN 10 to DN 300 (⅜ to 12 in). 
•  Conductivity of the measuring medium: 
20 to 20000 μS/cm. 
 
Installation conditions: 
•  The flowmeter sensor can be installed either horizontally 
or vertically. Vertical installation is preferable. 
 
 
Setup 
The gas bubble detection must be matched to the measuring 
medium on site.

Gas Bubble On/Off  Activate the function. 
Start Adj Gas Bubble  Automatic adjustment of the Gas Bubble 
Detection function. 
Prior to starting, make sure that: 
•  There is no flow 
•  Sensor is completely filled and free of gas 
bubbles 
Gas Bubble Threshold  Manual fine adjustment of the switching 
threshold. 
 
 
 
 
 
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 μS/cm. 
•  Nominal diameter DN 10 to 300 (⅜ to 12 in). 
 
Installation conditions: 
•  The measuring electrodes must be free of coverings.

Conductivity [µS/cm]  Indicator of the conductivity in μS/cm. 
Adj. Cond. Value  Measure the conductivity of the measuring 
medium using a conductivity meter on-site and 
enter the measured value here. 
Cond. Iout Min Value  Set the 4 mA and 20 mA value which correspond 
to the upper and lower range of the conductivity 
value.

Cond.Min Alarm Value  Set the alarm for minimum and maximum 
conductivity. In the case of down-scale, an alarm 
is triggered. 
Cond.Max Alarm Value 
Elec. Imp. E1-GND  Impedance between electrode E1 and GND 
(ground potential).
