4.2 Grounding
Grounding of Tek-Flux 1400A is very important. Bad grounding will result in abnormal
operation. Flow meter sensor part should have separate grounding cable (whose
sectional area of copper core should be 1.6mm
2
, ground resistance should be less than
10Ω.).
4.2.1 Grounding Ring
If the pipeline connected with sensor is insulative, grounding ring will be needed, the
material should be same as electrode material. If the medium is abrasive, then
grounding ring with neck should be selected.
