Name Function
Flow direction mark Indicates the direction of uid ow. Mount the detector 
so that the measured uid ows in the direction indicated 
by this mark.
Electrodes Detect an electromagnetic force signal proportional to 
the ow rate of the uid passing through the detector. 
The electrode material varies depending on the corrosion 
characteristics of the uid to be measured.
Electrode cover Houses the electrodes. Do not remove the cover with the 
detector installed on a pipe.
Grounding rings Keep reference voltage as zero by grounding the unit. 
The grounding ring material varies depending on the 
corrosion characteristics of the uid to be measured.
Terminal box
(Remote model only)
Houses the connection terminals used for applying 
a standard voltage. Houses the excitation and signal 
terminals.
Terminal box cover 
(Remote model only)
Keeps the terminals dry and protected. Keeps the 
terminal box cover on during operation.
