Description
The new electromagnetic flow meter with modular design allows flow measurements in ex-zones 1 and 2, in either the mounted or remote version. The amplifier housing, made of powder-coated aluminium, is available in protection class IP 67 and with a separate connection space.
Programming can be done either with closed housing thanks to a magnetic pen or with open housing via three buttons. The four-line display shows all necessary data like actual flow, totalizer and status messages. The programmable excitation frequency even enables the amplifier to be adjusted for difficult metering applications. The new developed process for amplifier compensation enables a high accuracy, especially in the lower flow range.

Measuring principle
Electromagnetic flow meters
The operating principle of the electromagnetic flow meter is based on Faraday’s law of magnetic induction: The voltage induced across any conductor, as it moves at right angles through a magnetic field, is proportional to the velocity of that conductor. The voltage induced within the fluid is measured by two diametrically opposed internally mounted electrodes. The induced signal voltage is proportional to the product of the magnetic flux density, the distance between the electrodes and the average flow velocity of the fluid.
