The Ultra Mag Electromagnetic Flow Meter is a sophisticated device designed for precise flow measurement in various industrial applications. It offers a range of features for accurate usage and straightforward maintenance.
The Ultra Mag flow meter operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, measuring the flow rate of conductive liquids without any moving parts or obstructions in the flow path. This design ensures minimal pressure loss and reduces wear and tear, contributing to a longer lifespan. The device provides both forward and reverse flow indication, as well as forward, reverse, and net totalization, making it versatile for applications requiring bidirectional flow monitoring.
The core of the system includes an Ultra Mag sensor (available in UM06 or UM08 models) and a converter (ProComm or ML255). The sensor, equipped with UltraLiner™ technology and NSF fusion-bonded epoxy coating, ensures durability and resistance to corrosive media. Stainless steel electrodes are standard, with Hastelloy® electrodes available as an option for more aggressive fluids. The converter processes the signals from the sensor, providing various output options for integration into control systems.
The ProComm converter offers a comprehensive set of standard outputs, including digital inputs and outputs, and 4-20mA outputs for flow data. Optional outputs such as HART, Modbus RS-485, ETP, AMR, Built-In Verification, and Data Logger functionalities are available to meet specific application requirements. The ML255 converter, designed for battery-powered operation, is ideal for remote installations where external power is limited.
The device is capable of measuring flow rates across a wide range of pipe sizes, from 2" to 48", accommodating diverse pipeline configurations. Its accuracy is a key feature, with a typical measurement error of plus or minus 0.5% of actual flow (or ±1% for battery-powered units). Each complete flow tube and signal converter undergoes a 5-point wet flow calibration, traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology, ensuring high reliability and precision.
The Ultra Mag flow meter is designed for ease of integration and operation. The submittal package includes essential information for project planning, such as project name, purchase order details, customer name, and a list of included and selectable items. This structured approach helps in configuring the device to specific needs.
For installation, the meter requires specific upstream and downstream pipe runs to ensure accurate measurements: 3D upstream / 1D downstream for 2" & 3" wafer style, and 1D upstream / 0D downstream for 2" and larger flanged meters. The sensor body must have electrical contact with the media, achieved through a grounding ring or grounding button. Grounding rings are recommended for all sizes, especially in electrically noisy environments or with VFD pumps, to ensure optimal performance and safety.
The ProComm converter features a user-friendly interface with a display that shows flow rates and other relevant data. Connections to the terminal board are straightforward, with clearly labeled terminals for electrodes, coils, power, and various outputs. The converter's enclosure is designed for robust industrial environments, with compression fittings for cable entry to maintain a sealed case. Power options include AC (100-240V) and DC (12-48V) for the ProComm converter, while the ML255 converter is exclusively battery-powered, making it suitable for remote or off-grid applications.
The 4-20mA outputs are isolated and used to transmit flow data to external devices, with a maximum load impedance of 1,000Ω. The converter can detect a loss of load on these outputs, providing an additional layer of reliability. Opto-isolated pulse outputs are available for communicating with or activating external devices, offering high switching voltage and current capabilities. Opto-isolated inputs allow for external control or signal reception, with programmable functions to suit various operational scenarios.
The ML255 converter, with its battery power capability, offers flexibility in deployment. Its compact dimensions and robust design make it suitable for installations where space is limited or environmental conditions are challenging. The converter's display provides essential information, and its simple interface allows for basic configuration and monitoring.
The Ultra Mag flow meter is built for durability and minimal maintenance. The liner comes with a lifetime guarantee, and the meter itself has a 2-year warranty, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its robust construction. The UltraLiner NSF-approved, fusion-bonded epoxy coating enhances the longevity and resistance of the sensor to various media.
Electrical connections are designed for reliability, utilizing compression gland seals or quick-connect fittings, depending on the model and configuration. These seals help maintain the IP67 or NEMA 6P/IP68 rating, protecting the internal electronics from moisture and dust ingress. For remote converters, additional cable lengths up to 475' are available, providing flexibility in installation while maintaining signal integrity.
Grounding is a critical aspect of maintenance and performance. The manual provides clear instructions on proper grounding procedures for the sensor and converter, emphasizing the importance of equal potential between the equipment and the liquid. In cases of cathodic protection, it may be necessary to insulate the meter from the line, and consultation with a cathodic protection vendor is recommended.
The ProComm converter is designed for easy access to the terminal board by loosening four screws on the front, allowing for straightforward wiring and troubleshooting. All unused compression fittings must be plugged to maintain the sealed integrity of the case.
For the ML255 converter, battery installation and connection are detailed, including steps for removing and re-installing the battery holder and connecting battery packs. The process is designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions on ensuring power is disconnected and DIP switches are in the OFF position before handling batteries. The converter's CPU LED provides visual feedback on the booting process, aiding in initial setup and diagnostics.
The modular design of the Ultra Mag system, with separate sensor and converter components, simplifies maintenance and replacement if needed. The availability of optional features like Built-In Verification further aids in routine checks and ensures continued accuracy without requiring extensive external equipment. Annual verification/calibration services are also available to maintain the meter's performance over its operational life.
