Handling Precautions
To obtain the optimum performance from the LF232 converter for years of continuous operation,
observe the following precautions.
(1) Do not store or install the flowmeter in:
• Places where there is direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use an appropriate sunshade. If
the control keys (infrared switches) are exposed to direct sunlight, they may not function
correctly.
• Places where there is snow and ice
Infrared switches may not function correctly.
• Places where excessive vibration or mechanical shock occurs.
• Places where high temperature or high humidity conditions obtain.
• Places where corrosive atmospheres exit.
• Places that can be submerged under water.
• Place where there is slop floor. To put the flowmeter temporarily on the floor, place it carefully
with something, such as stopper, to support it so that the flowmeter will not topple over.
• Places where there is following factors.
◆Factors to impede infrared switch to operate properly
・Intense light such as direct sunlight and reflected sunlight by window glass or metal plate
・Place where brightness changes suddenly such as ON/OFF of lighting
・Dense smoke or steam near the control panel
・Those attached on the control panel such as rain (dew drop), snow, ice, mud and oil, and haze
due to their attachment
・Light reflecting object near the control panel, or reflecting object such as metal plate placed
opposing to the control panel
When any of above factors is considered, take a measure for the proper operation of infrared
switch such as to place a cover or to secure a space for at least a person to stand in front of the
control panel.
When unable to avoid above factors, operate the EMF converter removing the factor by
covering the control panel by hand so that light does not shine on it, by cleaning those attached
on the control panel, or by standing in-between the reflecting object and the control panel to
block the light.
(2) Wire cables correctly and securely.
Be sure to ground at the combined converter side (class D grounding (grounding resistance
100Ω or less)). Avoid a common ground used with other equipment where earth current may
flow. An independent ground is preferable.
(3) The cable lead-in section must be tightened securely to keep air tightness.
(4) Keep the fluid to be measured from freezing.(This may damage the detector tube.)
(5) To prevent liquid leaks caused by corrosion, select materials appropriate for applicable fluids.

Handling Precautions
(6) The converter housing covers and the cable connections are tightened securely at the time of
shipment. Do not remove these covers or connections unless it is necessary to wire new cables
or replace old ones. Otherwise, gradual deterioration of circuit isolation or damage to this
product can be caused.
(7) Observe the following precautions when you open the converter housing cover:
• Do not open the cover in the open air unprotected against rain or wind. This can cause electric
shock or cause damage to the flowmeter electronics.
• Do not open the cover under high ambient temperature or high humidity conditions or in
corrosive atmospheres. This can cause deterioration of system accuracy or cause damage to
the flowmeter electronics.
(8) This product may cause interference to radio and television sets if they are used near the
installation site. Use metal conduits etc. for cables to prevent this interference.
(9) Radio transmitters such as transceivers or cellular phones may cause interference to the
flowmeter if they are used near the installation site. Observe the following precautions when
using them:
• Close a transmitter cover before using a transceiver.
• Do not use a transceiver whose output power is more than 5 W.
• Move the antenna of a transceiver or a cellular phone at least 50 cm away from the flowmeter
and signal cables when using it.
• Do not use a radio transmitter or a cellular phone near the flowmeter while it is operating
online. The transmitter or cellular phone’s output impulse noise may interfere with the
flowmeter.
• Do not install a radio transmitter antenna near the flowmeter and signal cables.
(10) For reasons of flowmeter failure, inappropriate parameters, unsuitable cable connections or
poor installation conditions, the flowmeter may not operate properly. To prevent any of these
problems causing a system failure, it is recommended that you have preventive measures
designed and installed on the flowmeter signal receiving side.
(11) For piping and installation of the combined detector, check the model number of detector and
read the instruction manual of the relevant detector.
* We assume no responsibility for nonconformity caused by violation of precautions described
in this manual or used in violation of the installation method and the operation method
stipulated in a relevant ordinance or other regulations.

1.2 Storage
Regarding the storage after the flowmeter is delivered and before starting installation work, be careful
about the following items:
Do not leave the flowmeter in a place such as outdoors where direct sunlight hits or a place exposed
to rain and wind.
Avoid places where humidity is extremely high or the temperature is extremely high or low and
store the flowmeter in a well ventilated place.
• Humidity range: 10 to 90% RH (no condensation)
• Storage temperature range: -13 to 149 °F (-25 to 65 °C)
Store the flowmeter in a place where vibration and shock does not occur.
If the cover of the converter is left open while being stored, insulation may be deteriorated. Do no
open the cover until the time of wiring for the converter.
To place the flowmeter temporarily on the floor, use a stopper, etc. when needed to prevent it from
rolling over.

2. Overview
The electromagnetic flowmeter is an instrument to measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive
fluids using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
The flowmeter consists of a detector which generates a signal of electromotive force proportional to
the flow rate of the fluid and detects this signal, and a converter which converts the signal detected by
the detector to a unified signal output.
Features
The electromagnetic flowmeter has features such as:
• No pressure loss by piping
• Flow measurement can be made not affected by conditions such as fluid temperature, pressure,
density and flow condition.
• It is easy to read the flow indication because a liner relation exists between the flow rate and
output signal.
The LF232 converter has additional features described below:
(1) High accuracy measurement of ±0.5% of rate can be obtained in the velocity range of 1.0ft/s to
32.8ft/s (0.3m/s to 10m/s). (Measurement range and accuracy are different by detector.)
(2) Stable measurement can be made even with fluids containing solids (sludge and slurry).
•The unique Noise-Sentry filter circuit and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) enables you to obtain a
stable output.
(3) The converter is equipped with various display and output functions.
• Various display and output functions can be easily set by switch operation.
• The converter is equipped with worldwide standard HART* protocol communication.
(4) Use of infrared switches
• Use of infrared switches allows you to perform various operations without opening the converter
housing cover.
(5) Easy-to-read liquid crystal display (16 characters × 2 lines)
• It is easy to read the indication even in a dark place by means of backlight.
* HART protocol··········“HART” stands for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer and is a
communication protocol recommended by HCF (HART communication
Foundation) for industrial sensors.

(5) Avoid places of too great an elevation or constricted areas and install the flowmeter in a place
easy for necessary work.
(6) The standard length of the cable that connects the detector and the converter is 30m. Select a
converter installation location so that the distance of the detector and the converter will not exceed
30m.
(7) If direct sunlight hits the display and the operation section or if there is something nearby that
easily reflects light, this kind of light becomes disturbance light and the switch operation may not
work correctly. Be careful about the installation location and angle, or take measures such as
providing a sunshade or shield plate so that disturbance light does not hit the operation section
directly.
(8) Places where there is following factors.
◆Factors to impede infrared switch to operate properly
・Intense light such as direct sunlight and reflected sunlight by window glass or metal plate
・Place where brightness changes always such as ON/OFF of lighting
・Dense smoke or steam near the control panel
・Those attached on the control panel such as rain (dew drop), snow, ice, mud and oil, and haze due
to their attachment
・Light reflecting object near the control panel, or reflecting object such as metal plate placed
opposing to the control panel
When any of above factors is considered, take a measure for the proper operation of infrared switch
such as to place a cover or to secure a space for at least a person to stand in front of the control panel.
When unable to avoid above factors, operate the EMF converter removing the factor by covering the
control panel by hand so that light does not shine on it, by cleaning those attached on the control panel,
or by standing in-between the reflecting object and the control panel to block the light.

Flowmeter performance may be affected by the way wiring is carried out. Proceed with correct wiring
by observing the following items.
(1) For cable route, avoid places near electrical equipment (such as motors, transformers or radio
transmitters) which cause electromagnetic or electrostatic interference.
(2) If the converter interior or cable ends get wet or humidified, deterioration of insulation occurs and
this may cause malfunction or noise problems. Avoid a rainy day if wiring is carried out outdoors.
Even indoors, make arrangements to prevent water from splashing over the converter and try to
finish the wiring as quickly as possible
(3) Since the excitation cable and the flow rate signal cable carry very small signals, pass each of the
cables separately through a thick steel conduit and keep them away from large current wiring as
much as possible, and do not install them in parallel.

6F8A0917
(4) If the converter needs to be installed in a location where watertight installation is required, make
unused cable ports watertight. (Be careful that the attached blind plate is used for dustproof
purpose and it is not effective for watertight installation.)
(5) The converter has a surge arrestor/protector installed inside. Therefore, do not conduct a withstand
voltage test for the converter. In addition, to check the insulation of the converter, use a voltage of
250VDC or less.
(6) When wiring is completed, be sure to install the protection cover of the terminal block.

5.3 Cautionary Notes on Wiring
5.3.1 Cautionary Notes on Wiring between Detector and Converter
• Flow rate signal cable and excitation cable are attached to the detector.
Be sure to use the attached cables.
Note: If the length of the cables exceeds 30m, the cables may not be attached. Check whether
the cables are attached or not referring to the specification.
• The allowable cable length between the detector and the converter differs depending on the
conductivity of the fluid to be measured. Refer to the Instruction Manual of the detector combined.
• The end of the attached cable to connect to the converter is covered with cap to prevent entry of
humidity. Do not remove this cap from the cable until the cable is ready to be connected to the
converter.
• When you connect cables between the detector and the converter, connect the excitation cable first
and then the flow rate signal cable.
• Since the input signal cable carries very small signals, be sure to install the excitation cable and the
input signal cable in separate thick steel conduit (0.87 inch (22mm)) and separate them from other
large current wiring as much as possible and do not install them in parallel. The cable connection
port is G (PF) 1/2 female thread.
• The detector side of the attached cable is already connected when shipped from the factory. In
addition, since the terminal box of the detector has airtight structure, avoid removing the wired cable
from the detector.
• To replace the flow rate signal cable and excitation cable, refer also to the Instruction Manual of the
detector. Before you replace these cables, place an order for packing of the detector terminal box
cover as well as packing for the cable connection to Toshiba or Toshiba representative and make sure
to replace these packings when you replace the cables.
5.3.2 Cautionary Notes on Wiring between Instruments and Converter
• To avoid 2-point grounding, ground the shield of the output cable at the receiving instrument side as
a rule.
• Use a grounding wire of IV wire 5.5mm2 or more. The size of the screw for external grounding
terminal is M4. In addition, do not share the grounding wire with other equipment where grounding
current may flow. (An independent grounding is preferable.)
• Power cable
When a 3-core cable is used, ground the shield of the cable using the FG terminal.
When a 2-core cable is used, ground the shield of the cable using the external ground terminal and
make it as short as possible.
• When you replace the Toshiba LF230 flowmeter converter with this converter, be careful that the
cable connection is changed.

5.4.3 Grounding
The external ground terminal of the detector and the FG terminal of the converter (or external ground
terminal of the converter) must be grounded securely with Class D grounding (grounding resistance
100Ω or less). Use an IV wire 5.5mm2 or more for grounding wire.
In addition, do not share the grounding wire with other equipment where grounding current may flow.
(An independent grounding is preferable.)
If it is difficult to carry out grounding work at the detector side due to a pit installation or other reasons,
use a 3-core cable for the excitation cable and connect the E terminal of the detector to the E terminal
or other reasons as shown in Figure 5.9(b), of the converter. (The E terminal of the converter is
internally connected to the FG terminal and the converter housing.)

5.6 Cautionary Notes on Replacing Converter
5.6.1 Replacing the LF230 Converter
The following precautions must be taken to replace the conventional type LF230 with LF232.
Installation
• Since the hole diameter and pitch for mounting fitting, and the dimensions of the LF232 converter
main unit are the same as those of the LF230 converter, it is possible to replace the converter without
changing the mounting panel, installation space, etc.
• The operation switches of the LF232 are infrared switches. If direct sunlight hits the display and the
operation section or if there is something nearby that easily reflects light, this kind of light becomes
disturbance light and the switch operation may not work correctly. Be careful about the installation
location and angle, or take measures such as providing a sunshade or shield plate so that disturbance
light does not hit the operation section directly.
Wiring
• The positions of the LF232 cable ports are the same as those of the LF230.
• The specifications of the cable ports differ as shown in the table below.

5.6.2 Combination with an Existing Detector (for Large Meter Size)
When the LF232 flowmeter converter (LF232*B for large meter size) is combined with an existing detector of
commercial power excitation method, the excitation current may not become stable because of the difference of the
excitation method.
(Example of symptoms)
• When the excitation current is checked in the CAL mode, the excitation current is not displayed exactly as set
for the converter.
• The indicated value of the excitation current does not stabilize in the CAL mode and the minimum digit cannot
be read.
• The zero point of flow rate at the time of still water measurement is not stable.
If this happens, connect an adjusting capacitor provided for the detector (only for large meter size) between the
terminals X and Y of the terminal block for converter cable as shown below.
This capacitor is not needed if you combine with a detector of square-wave excitation method (guideline date:
manufacture date is 1981 or later).
In addition, if the symptom does not improve when the capacitor is connected, stop using the capacitor.
Terminal block
Connect an attached
capacitor between the
terminals X and Y.
Note: If any symptom described above does not occur when connected
with an existing detector, do not connect this capacitor.

5.6.3 Replacement of partially filled pipes type
When detector of partially filled pipes type is replaced from LF502 or LF502(FS2 type) to
LF232*F, please be careful to the following points.
• Installing
In the case of replacement from LF502(FS2 type):
The diameter of hole, width of installation metal fittings of LF232, an external size of the
body of converter are the same. In the installation panel processing, the built-in space, a
change is unnecessary.
Because switch of LF232 is the infrared switch, please avoid a place with the following
factor.
◆Factors to impede infrared switch to operate properly
・Intense light such as direct sunlight and reflected sunlight by window glass or metal plate
・Place where brightness changes always such as ON/OFF of lighting
・Dense smoke or steam near the control panel
・ Those attached on the control panel such as rain (dew drop), snow, ice, mud and oil, and
haze due to their attachment
・ Light reflecting object near the control panel, or reflecting object such as metal plate
placed opposing to the control panel
When any of above factors is considered, take a measure for the proper operation of infrared
switch such as to place a cover or to secure a space for at least a person to stand in front of the
control panel.
When unable to avoid above factors, operate the EMF converter removing the factor by
covering the control panel by hand so that light does not shine on it, by cleaning those attached
on the control panel, or by standing in-between the reflecting object and the control panel to
block the light.

front of control panel and detect the reflection from finger when operating.
Normal operation is impeded depending on the conditions such as
disturbing light from surroundings or stain attached to the control panel.
When unable to avoid such condition, operate the EMF converter in the
following manner.
Remove the factor to impede proper operation of infrared switch as below:
・ Cover the control panel by hand so that light does not shine on it
・ Clean the stain attached on the control panel
・ Clean the stain on the finger or the gloves to operate the EMF
converter, or wear gloves in light color
・ When there is a reflecting object placed opposing to the control panel,
stand in-between the reflecting object and the control panel to block
the light
Following are considered as the factors to impede infrared switch to
operate properly.
・ Intense light such as direct sunlight and reflected sunlight by window
glass or metal plate
・ Place where brightness changes always such as ON/OFF of lighting
・ Dense smoke or steam near the control panel
・ Those attached on the control panel such as rain (dew drop), snow,
ice, mud and oil, and haze due to their attachment
・ Operation of the control panel by hands wearing gloves in dark color
or stained fingers and gloves
・ Light reflecting object near the control panel, or reflecting object such
as metal plate placed opposing to the control panel

7.3 Basic Operations(Mode Switching, Setting Mode Operation, Total Counter Operation)
7.3.1 Mode Switching
(1) Types of mode
The following operation modes are provided in the LF232 converter and they can be changed by
operation switches.
• Measurement mode: This is the mode used at the time of flow measurement
The process value is displayed and output.
The flowmeter first goes to this mode when power is turned on.
• Totalizer operation mode: Totalizer can be started, stopped and reset.
For output, the process value is output in the same way as in the
measurement mode.
For details, see 7.3.4 “Totalizer Operation.”
• Setting mode: This is the mode to check or set various parameters.
Parameters can be selected from function menu.
Though various parameters are shown on the display, the process value is output
in the same way as in the measurement mode.
For details, see 8.2 “Parameter Check/Change.”
The following mode can also be selected using menu in the setting mode.
• Fixed value output mode (loop check): This is the mode in which 4 to 20mA output and the
totalizer pulse output frequency can be fixed to a preset
value.
For details, see 8.4 “Fixed Value Output (Loop Check).”
• Zero adjustment mode: This is the mode in which zero adjustment can be performed.
The process value is output in the same way as in the measurement
mode.
For details, see 8.5 “Zero Adjustment.”
• Calibration mode: This is the mode to check the circuits of the converter unit.
Zero point and span can be checked using the internal generator circuit that
generates simulation signals. Excitation current can also be checked.
The current output becomes the value corresponding to the simulation signal.
For digital output, the last value before entering the calibration mode will be
held.
For details, see 9. “Mag-Prover Calibration.”

Span value
The span value can be set using the actual flow rate unit (m3/h, etc.) and flow velocity unit (m/s).
(1) Setting range
The span value can be set within the range of 0 –1.0 ft/s to 0 – 32.8 ft/s (0.1m/s to 10m/s) in terms
of flow velocity
(The range that detector can measure changes with detector type. The details please refer to
Chapter 15 "specifications")
If you try to set a span value outside of this range, either of the following messages appears
depending on whether it is a high limit or low limit error:
* H. OVER SPEC. (if a value exceeding 32.8 ft/s (10 m/s) is set)
* L. OVER SPEC. (if a value of less than 1.0 ft/s (0.1 m/s) is set)
Try to set a new value again.
In the case of Single range setting, select Range 1 only.
(2) Multi-range setting
To use the multi-range function, select Ranges 1 to 4.
When you set these ranges, the following condition must be observed:
Range 1 > Range 2 > Range 3 > Range 4 (in the case of single direction, multiple ranges)
Range 1 > Range 2, Range 3 > Range 4 (in the case of forward/reverse direction, multiple
ranges)
If you try to set the ranges not conforming to the above condition, the following message appears:
* MULTI RNG ERR
Try to set the ranges again.
In addition, set “0” for the ranges not used.
(3) Influence on count rate (pulse rate)
If the range is changed when the count rate (pulse rate) is already set, pulse output at the time of
100% output may exceed the allowable output range.
If this happens, either of the following messages appears after the ranges are set and the system
goes to the count rate setting.
* H. OVER C RATE or * L. OVER C RATE
Try to set the count rate (pulse rate) again referring to 8.2.15 “Count Rate (pulse rate) and Pulse
Width.”
Unit of span
Range 1 is used to set the unit of span. The unit applies automatically to other ranges of Range 2 to
Range 4 and it is not necessary to set the unit for these ranges separately.
The setting units can be selected from the following units:
• Flow velocity unit: m/s
• Flow rate unit:
m3/s, m3/min, m3/h, m3/d, l/s, l/min, l/h, l/d, ml/s, ml/min, ml/h, ml/d
If you change the unit, the new span value based on the newly set unit will be automatically
displayed.

8.2.15 Count Rate (Pulse Rate) and Pulse Width
Totalizer is incremented each time a volumetric flow set for predetermined count rate enters and one
pulse is sent out through DO output.
It is necessary to set the count rate and pulse width when the total volumetric flow or count value
indication is selected or when pulse output is used.
The following parameters can be set here:
(1) Count rate (Pulse rate)
(2) Pulse width mode
(3) Pulse width
Notes
• To use the pulse output, it is necessary to set the DO function for output.
For how to set the DO function, see 8.2.14 “Digital I/O Function.”
If the pulse output is not used and only the total volumetric flow or count value indication is used,
it is not necessary to set the DO function.
• To use the total volumetric flow indication or count value indication, it is necessary to set the
indicating unit.
For how to set the indicating unit, see 8.2.6 “Normal Indicating Unit.”
Even if the pulse output only is used, it is recommended that you set a total volumetric flow unit
or a count value unit as indicating unit to check the operation.
Count rate
A volumetric value per 1 count (1 pulse) for the totalizer is set.
The total volumetric flow is the totalizer count multiplied by the count rate.
• The count rate must be set so that the pulse output at 100% output stays within a range of 3.6 to
3,600,000 pulses/h. If you try to set a value outside of this range, an error message
*H. OVER SPEC* or *L. OVER SPEC*
appears and the value returns to the previously set value. Try to set a new value again.
Example: When the range is 3,600m3/h (1m3/s), the settable count rate is as follows:
Minimum value: 3,600m3/h ÷ 3,600,000 pulses/h = 0.001m3 = 1 l (liter)
Maximum value: 3,600m3/h ÷ 3.6 pulses/h = 1,000m3
Pulse width mode
Whether the pulse width of the totalizer pulse output should be set automatically or a specified
pulse width is set can be selected.
Selection
1:AUTO
Pulse width setting
Pulse width automatic setting
Automatically set to the settable maximum pulse width according to the set count rate.
2:MANUAL Pulse width manual setting
Pulse width set by pulse width setting
Note: If the total volumetric flow indication or count value indication is used, and the pulse output is not
used, it is recommended that you select the pulse width automatic setting.

6F8A0917
Pulse width
The pulse width for totalizer pulse output is set.
If Automatic setting (1:AUTO) is selected for pulse width mode, it is not necessary to set the pulse
width.
• The pulse width must be set to a value within the range of 0.3ms to 500ms. If you try to set a
value exceeding 500 ms, the value will be forcibly changed to 500ms.
• The pulse width must be set to 40% or less of the pulse period at 100% output. If a value
exceeding this limit is tried to set, regardless of the range described above, an error message
* H. OVER SPEC
appears and the value returns to the previously set value. Try to set a new value again.
If the pulse width is set to 0, it will be automatically set to 40% of the pulse period at 100% output.
However, if the calculation result exceeds 100ms, it will be forcibly set to 100ms.
Example 1 In the case of the following:
Range: 3,600m3/h (1m3/s)
Count rate: 0.001m3
Since the count rate is 3,600 m3/h ÷ 0.001(m3) = 3,600,000 pulses/h (1000 pulses/s),
the full-scale period is 1s ÷ 1000 = 1ms.
Therefore, the pulse width can only be set to 1ms x 0.4 = 0.4ms.
Example 2 In the case of the following:
Rage: 3,600m3/h (1m3/s)
Count rate: 1000m3
Since the pulse count is 3,600m3/h ÷ 1000m3 = 3.6 pulses/h (0.001 pulse/s), the
full-scale period is 1s ÷ 0.001 = 1000s.
Therefore, the pulse width becomes 1000s × 0.4 = 400s. However, since the maximum
value is 500ms, the pulse width becomes 500ms.
Example 3 In the case of the following:
Rage: 3,600m3/h (1m3/s)
Count rate: 1m3
Pulse width is set to 0ms
Since the pulse count is 3,600m3/h ÷ 1m3 = 3600 pulses/h (1 pulse/s), the full-scale
period is 1s ÷ 1 = 1s.
Therefore, the pulse width becomes 1s × 0.4 = 400ms. However, in the case of
automatic setting, since the maximum value is 100ms, the pulse width becomes
100ms.

8.2.20 Rate-of-Change Limit Value and Control Time
The rate-of-change limit is the function to prevent a sudden change in flow indication of the converter
when the measurement flow signal contains excessive noise.
Damping constant is also effective to prevent indication variations by increasing its value but the rate
of change limit control is effective against a sudden change in flow indication that the damping
constant cannot eliminate.
The following parameters can be set here:
(1) Rate-of-change limit value
(2) Rate-of-change control time
Note: To use the rate-of-change limit function, it is necessary to set both (1) and (2).
If either one is set to zero (factory setting value), this function does not work
When not using the rate-of-change limit function, set zero to either one of these items.
Rate-of-change limit value
Indication change is controlled within the limit value* against variations of measurement flow
signals.
* Indication variation per approx. 40ms will be controlled to within the limit value (in percent of
span).
The rate-of-change limit value can be set within the range of 0 to 30% in increments of 0.1%.
In the case of multi-range setting, the value is indicated in percent of the range in operation.
If 0 is set, the rate-of-change limit function does not work.
Rate-of-change control time
If the time used to control the indication against variations of measurement flow signal exceeds the
control time, the rate-of-change control will be turned off. (Flow indication will be output directly
without the rate-of-change limit function.)
Control time can be set within the range of 0 to 20s in increments of 1s.
If 0 is set, the rate-of-change limit function does not work.
Checking the rate-of-change limit setting
Proceed as follows to check the rate-of-change limit setting.
How to check the limit value is shown below.
To check the control time, select the function “M2: LIMIT TIME.”

8.5.2 Zero Offset Adjustment
This function is used to perform zero adjustment simply by comparing the output of the flowmeter
with other process value without stopping the process flow.
If zero adjustment can be performed with still water condition, it is not necessary to set this adjustment
value.
How to calculate the zero offset value
Zero offset is performed by setting the adjustment value.
The adjustment value can be obtained by the following equation:
Adjustment value (%) = {(Actual flow rate) − (LF232 measured value)}
* Calculate the value in percent of the setting range of Range 1.
(See the example below.)
(Example)
Flow rate
Value in percent of the set span
50.0 %
Actual flow rate obtained from
other process value
10.0 m3/min
10.5 m3/min
LF232 measured value
52.5 %
Zero offset adjustment value
−2.5 %
(If zero offset adjustment value is set to −2.5 %, the output of LF232 is shifted by
−2.5% and 50.0 % output can be obtained.)
The zero offset adjustment value can be set within the range of ±0.410ft/s (0.125 m/s) (±1.25% of
the maximum range 32.8ft/s (10 m/s))
Note: If you perform still water zero adjustment, zero offset adjustment value becomes zero.

10.2 Totalizer and Pulse Output
Proceed as follows to use the totalizer and pulse output.
Count Rate and Pulse Width Settings
Follow the procedure in 8.2.15 “Count Rate (Pulse Rate) and Pulse Width” and set
the flow rate per 1 count (1 pulse) (count rate), pulse width mode and pulse width.
* Count rate can be set within the range of 3.6 to 3,600,000 pulses/h (1/1000 to
1000 pulses/s) with respect to the set range. (Note 2)
* Pulse width will be set automatically if the pulse width mode is set to AUTO.
If you want to set the pulse width manually, the pulse width can be set between
0.3ms and 500ms. However, the pulse width must be 40% or less of the
full-scale period. (Note 3)
For pulse width, check the acceptable signal width of the receiving instruments
when you set the pulse width.
If the pulse output is not used, pulse width setting is not needed.
DO Setting
Follow the procedure in 8.2.14 “Digital I/O Function” and set the Digital Output 1
(DO1) or Digital Output 2 (DO2) for pulse output.
If the pulse output is not used, DO setting is not needed.
DI Setting
Follow the procedure in 8.2.14 “Digital I/O Function” and set the Digital Input
(DI) function.
In the case of the converter without Digital Input (9th digit of the product code is
“1”), set “NO USE” (factory setting).
Indicating Unit Setting
Follow the procedure in 8.2.6 “Normal Indicating Unit” and set a totalization unit
(m3, l, ml, gal, bbl, pt, qt or COUNT) for indicating unit.
If only the pulse output is used, pulse output can be sent out without setting an
indicating unit but it is recommended that you set a totalization unit as indicating
unit to check the operating condition.
Switching to the Measurement Mode
Follow the procedure in 7.3.1 “Mode Switching” and put the mode back to the
measurement mode.

* Continued from the previous page
Clear (reset) the totalizer. (Note1)
Press switch to clear the count.
If you have changed the count rate, clear (reset) the count before you start the
totalizer.
Start the totalizer. (Note1)
• Press
to start the totalizer.
Check that “C” is shown on the display indicating that counting is in progress.
Note 1: The LF232 converter has the function to start/stop the totalizing operation or clear the
internal totalizer.
For details of how to operate the totalizer, see 7.3.4 “Totalizer Operation.”
Note 2: Example of count rate setting range
Count rate can be set in the range of minimum value (3,600,000 pulses/h) to maximum
value (3.6 pulses/h) with respect to the set range
Example:
follows:
When the range is 3,600m3/h (1m3/s), settable count rate is as
Minimum value: 3,600m3/h ÷ 3,600,000 pulses/h = 0.001m3 = 1 l (liter)
Maximum value: 3,600m3/h ÷ 3.6 pulses/h = 1,000m3
Note 3: Example of pulse width setting range (in the case of manual setting)
Pulse width can be set within the range of 0.3ms to 500ms in increments of 0.1ms.
However, the pulse width must be 40% or less of the full-scale period.
Example 1:
In the case of the following:
Range: 3600m3/h (1m3/s)
Count rate: 0.001m3
Since the count rate is 3,600 m3/h ÷ 0.001(m3) = 3,600,000 pulses/h (1000
pulse/s), the full scale period is 1s ÷ 1000 = 1ms.
Therefore, pulse width can only be set to 1ms x 0.4 = 0.4ms.
Example 2:
In the case of the following
Range: 3,600m3/h (1m3/s)
Count rate: 1000m3
Since the count rate is 3,600m3/h ÷ 1000m3 = 3.6 pulses/h (0.001 pulse/s),
the full scale period is 1s ÷ 0.001 = 1000s.
Therefore, pulse width becomes 1000s × 0.4 = 400s.
However, since the maximum value is 500ms, pulse width becomes 500ms.
Example 3:
In the case of the following
Range: 3,600m3/h (1m3/s)
Count rate: 1m3
Pulse width is set to 0ms
Since the count rate is 3,600m3/h ÷ 1m3 = 3600 pulses/h (1 pulse/s), the
full scale period is 1s ÷ 1 = 1s.
Therefore, pulse width becomes 1s × 0.4 = 400ms.
However, since the maximum value is 100ms, pulse width becomes 100ms.

11. Communications Function
The LF232 Series Converters are equipped with HART*1 protocol to transmit digital signals over the 4
to 20mA output line. The AF900 hand-held terminal (hereafter called HHT) can be used to check or
change various parameters, calibrate the flowmeter or monitor the measured value from a remote
place.
For the detailed operation and specification of HHT, refer to the "Hand-held Terminal for Sensor with
Communication Function AF900 Instruction Manual" (6F8A0849).
*1 HART protocol: The “HART protocol”, which stands for Highway Addressable Remote
Transducer, is the name of the communication protocol for industry sensors that is
recommended by HCF (HART Communication Foundation).
11.1
Connection with the HHT terminal
Connect the probe cable of the HHT terminal in parallel with the load resistor which is wired from the
current output terminals (+ and −) of the flowmeter. Since the tip end of the probe cable is a pair of
clips, use a junction terminal or a terminal block, etc. to connect with the clips of the probe. To
connect the HHT directly to the flowmeter, use the terminals + and − of the converter main unit
terminal block. Though the current output terminal has polarity, the HHT connection cable has no
polarity.
See Figure 11.1 and 11.2 for connection examples.

Cautionary Notes on Communications
Observe the following limitations when you communicate with flowmeter using HHT.
Current output load
(1) Load resistance: 240Ω to 1kΩ (including communications line resistance)
(2) Load capacitance: 0.25 μF maximum (including communications line capacitance)
(3) Load inductance: 4mH maximum (including communications line inductance)
(For maximum cable length, about 2km is a guideline length when CVV-S
1.25mm2 is used.)
Wiring cable
Use a shielded cable (CVV-S, etc) for wiring.
Interference on 4 to 20mA current signal
To communicate with the flowmeter, a digital signal (amplitude 0.4 to 0.8 V in the case of 500Ω
load resistance) with a frequency of 1.2 to 2.2 kHz is superimposed on the 4 to 20mA current signal.
If a receiving instrument with fast response time is connected to the analog current output line, the
superimposed communications signal may interfere with the output. To prevent this interference,
put a low-pass filter with a time constant of about 100 ms into the input circuit of the receiving
instrument.

Description

Corrective action
Precautionary notes when using the fluid empty alarm
(1) Since the fluid empty alarm is detected using the impedance between the signal wires connected
to a pair of electrodes in the detector as well as the input signal level, a false alarm may be
detected by the following factors:
• Signal wire is broken or loose connection exists
• A large amount of air bubbles are mixed in the fluid
• Insulating materials are accumulated on the electrode
(2) In an environment where grounding is incomplete or excessive noise enters from the outside, the
fluid empty alarm may not work correctly.
In addition, under the condition like this, reliability of flow measurement itself decreases. Take
necessary measures to prevent the entry of noise such as making the ground complete
(independent Class D ground with grounding resistance 100Ω or less) or reviewing the cable
wiring route.
(3) If the fluid still remains in the measuring pipe or deposits of conductive materials remain in the
measuring pipe, the impedance between the signal wires does not increase and the fluid empty
alarm may not work. In this case, use other method (such as a pump stop signal or a signal from
valves) to check the fluid empty condition.

Self-diagnosis error
The converter performs an operation check immediately after power is turned on and if an error is
found, a self-diagnosis error is generated.
If more than one error occurs at the same time, the contents of those errors will be displayed
cyclically. The diagnosis about excitation is carried out using the internal ADC function. Therefore,
if an error of No.6 internal ADC occurs, Excitation wire of No.4 and Excitation circuit of No.5
cannot be diagnosed correctly.
In addition, since the entire checking system is based on the CPU, if the CPU fails, accurate
diagnosis and indication cannot be obtained.

Note 1: Diagnosis for No. 1, No.2 and No. 3 is performed only immediately after power is turned on. If any of
these errors is indicated, the converter does not start measurement operation. If these errors occur after
power is turned on, the converter cannot detect these errors. In addition, if this happen, the indication
and output of the converter may become uncertain.
Note 2: Errors No. 4 to No. 6 may not be detected even if those errors cause accuracy problems because of the
characteristic variations in components constituting the circuits used for judgment standard to
determine these errors.
Note 3: CPU error cannot be detected. If the CPU stops, the watchdog timer resets the hardware and the
flowmeter starts again from the initial power-on condition. Depending on the condition of CPU error,
the indication and output of the converter may become uncertain.

14. Principle of Operation
The operating principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday's Law of
electromagnetic induction. The principle of operation is that an insulated pipe with inner diameter D is
placed vertically to the direction of a magnetic field with flux density B (see Figure 14.1). When an
electrically conductive fluid flows in the pipe, an electromotive force signal E is induced between a
pair of electrodes placed at right angles to the direction of magnetic field. The electromotive force
signal E is directly proportional to the average fluid velocity V and this voltage signal is detected.
The following expression is applicable to the voltage.
E = K × B × D × V [V] ·····································(Eq. 14.1) E: Electromotive force signal [V]
K: Constant
B: Magnetic flux density [T]
D: Meter pipe inner diameter [m]
V: Fluid velocity [m/s]
Volumetric flow rate Q [m3/s] of fluid is:
π × D2
Q =
× V··········································(Eq. 14.2)
4
Thus, we can obtain the equation below using Eq.14.1 and Eq.14.2,
4
E = K × B × D
× Q
π × D2
4 × K × B
π × D
E =
× Q·····································(Eq. 14.3)
Therefore, the electromotive force signal E proportional to the flow rate can be obtained.

Figure 14.1 Principle of Operation
The LF232 electromagnetic flowmeter converter uses the square-wave excitation method, which
provides long-term stable operations without being affected by electrostatic and electromagnetic
interferences.
