Handling Precautions
To obtain the optimum performance from the GF630/LF600F, GF630/LF610F and GF632 for years of
continuous operation, observe the following precautions.
(1) Do not store or install the flowmeter in:
・Where there is direct sunlight.
・Where there is snow and ice
Infrared switches may not function correctly.
・Where excessive vibration or mechanical shock occurs.
・Where high temperature or high humidity conditions obtain.
・Where corrosive atmospheres exist.
・That can be submerged under water.
・Where there is a sloped floor. To put the flowmeter temporarily on the floor, place it
carefully with something, such as a block, 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) In the case that the piping is non-conductive material, make sure to install the
grounding rings(option) to each flange of detector using the M3 or M4 screw before
piping.
(3) Wire cables correctly and securely.
Be sure to ground at the converter side (grounding resistance 100 ohm or less).
Avoid a common ground used with other equipment where earth current may flow. An
independent ground is preferable
(4) Select cable paths away from electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or radio
transmitters), which causes electromagnetic or electrostatic interference.
(5) The apparatus does not be provided with the cable connections.
Please prepare yourself for the cable connections which could be used in Division2
hazardous locations.
The cable lead-in section must be tightened securely to keep air tightness.

６Ｆ８Ａ０８８３
Handling Precautions (continued)
(6) If the inside of the converter and detector's terminal box are wetted or humidified, it may
cause insulation deterioration, which can result in fault or noise occurrence. So do not
conduct wiring in the open air on rainy days.
Also, be careful not to wet down the converter and detector's terminal box even in the
case of indoor wiring, and complete wiring work in a short period of time.
(7) Make sure the fluid to be measured will not freeze in the detector pipe. This can cause
damage to the detector pipe.
(8) Select appropriate wetted materials suited for the process fluid to be measured. Otherwise,
fluid leakage due to corrosion can be caused.
(9) 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.
(10) Since a varistor is built in converter, do not conduct a withstand voltage test for
the converter.
In addition, the voltage for checking the insulation of the converter must be 250VDC
or lower.
(11) 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.
(12) 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.
(13) 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.
(14) For installation and connectirn of the converter, check the model number of
converter and read the instruction manual of the relevant converter.
* 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.

2. Overview
The GF630/LF600F, GF630/LF610F and GF632 electromagnetic flowmeter can be use in the
following hazardous (classified) locations.
ClassⅠ, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D,
ClassⅡ, Division 2, Groups E, F and G
ClassⅢ
The GF630 and GF632 electromagnetic flowmeter measures the volumetric flow rates of electrically conductive
materials on the basis of Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction.
The device consists of two units: the GF630 and GF632 detector, through which the fluid to be measured flows,
and the converter, which receives the electromotive force signals from the detector, then converts the
signals into the 4–20 mA dc signal.
Features
Every type of electromagnetic flowmeter has the following features:
„ Fluid flow is not obstructed and pressure loss is negligible.
„ The process fluid's temperature, pressure, density or flow conditions has no effect on the accuracy of the
flowmeter.
„ The flowmeter output is directly proportional to the process flow rate, thus it is easy to read its output.

4.1 Notes on Selecting the Installation Location
1. Avoid places within the immediate proximity of equipment producing electrical interference (such as
motors, transformers, radio transmitters, electrolytic cells, or other equipment causing
electromagnetic or electrostatic interference).
2. Avoid places where excessive pipe vibration occurs.
3. Avoid places where fluid is pumped in a pulsating manner
4. Avoid places where there is direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use an appropriate shade
5. Avoid places where corrosive atmospheres or high humidity conditions obtain.
6. Avoid places where there may be limited access such as pipes installed next to high ceilings or
constricted areas where clearance for installation or maintenance work is not provided.
7. Design piping so that the detector pipe is always filled with fluid, whether the fluid is flowing or not.
8. The detector has no adjustable piping mechanism. Install an adjustable short pipe where needed.
9. Chemical injections should be conducted on the downstream side of the flowmeter.
10. The maximum length of the cable that connects the detector and converter is 300m. Select the
converter installation location so that the distance between the detector and converter dose not exceed
300m.

4.2 Mounting Procedure
4.2.1 Pipe checks
(1) Before installing pipes, check for any leaning, misplacement or eccentricity as illustrated in Figure 4.1.
An attempt to unreasonably connect pipes that are inclined may lead to a detector breakdown or fluid
leakage. Connecting pipes in an eccentric state may also cause wears and tear of linings and grounding
rings, as well as measurement errors.
Before installing pipes, make sure to flush the interior of the pipes to remove deposited material.

(2) Preventing an Empty Pipe Condition
Fix the relevant pipes installed on both sides of the detector by attaching fittings, etc. to support the pipe. By
supporting the pipes, not only the pipe vibration is reduced but also the damage to the pipes by the
electromagnetic flowmeter's weight and the fluid mass (see Figures 4.2 and 4.3).

4.2.2 Installation Procedure
In the case that the piping is non-conductive material, make sure to install the grounding rings(option)
to each flange of detector using the M4 screw before piping . The M4 screws are prepared to each flange.
In addition, in the case of detector with FEP lining, make sure to install the gaskets between grounding ring
and lining. The gaskets must be installed so as not to protrude into the measurement tube.
And install the ground cables to each flange of detector using the M5 screw as needed. The M5 screws,
spring washers and washers are prepared to flange. And the ground cables are included in the package.

To mount the GF63*, place it between the upstream and downstream pipe flanges and tighten it
with flange bolts and nuts. See Figure 4.5 and follow the procedure below:
1. Insert two lower mounting bolts through the clearance holes in the upstream (or downstream)
pipe flange.
2. Install a gasket next to the upstream (or downstream) flange face and the other gasket next
to the downstream (or upstream) pipe flange. The two mounting bolts can now be guided
through the clearance holes in the downstream gasket and flange.
3. Place the GF63* flowmeter detector between the two flange gasket, with the flowmeter
detector body above the two bolts. The flowmeter must be oriented in accordance with the
flow direction arrow.
4. Install the two upper mounting bolts through the clearance holes in the upstream and downstream
gasket and flanges. Then install the remaining mounting bolts depending on the flange pattern used.
5. Thread nuts on both ends of the 4 (or more) mounting bolts, finger tight. (See Table 4.1 Bolt length
and tightening torque)
6. While centering the flowmeter with the longitudinal axis of the pipeline, tighten the nuts with a
wrench diagonally across in even increments. (See Table 4.1 Bolt length and tightening torque)
Note1: The flowmeter detector pipe axis must be aligned with the pipeline axis on both upstream and
downstream sides. This is essential to have stable characteristics of flow measurement (especially
flowmeters with meter sizes of 2"(50 mm) or less).
for
Note2: In the case of detector with CR or PU lining, please avoid use of a gasket that is same materials
with lining material. If the same materials were used, gascket and lining would bond mutually.
CAUTION
(1) When high-temperature fluid is being measured, radiant heat from the detector pipe surface and
adjoining pipes may cause the ambient temperature of the converter to go above 60ﾟC (140ﾟF).
If the ambient temperature goes above 60ﾟC (140ﾟF), try to lower the temperature by measures
such as wrapping heat-insulating materials over the detector pipe and adjoining pipes.
(2) To put the flowmeter temporarily on the floor, place it carefully with something, such as stopper,
to support it so that GF630 and GF632 will not topple over.

Notes on wiring
CAUTION
(1) The apparatus does not be provided with the cable connections. Please prepare yourself for the cable
connections which could be used in Division2 hazardous locations.
The cable lead –in section must be tightened securely to keep air tightness.
(2) Select the cable runs away from electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or radio
transmitters) which causes electromagnetic or electrostatic interference.
(3) Deterioration of flowmeter circuit insulation occurs if the converter interior or cable ends get wet or
humidified. This in turn causes malfunction of flowmeter or noise problems. Avoid a rainy day if
the flowmeter is to be installed outdoors. Even indoors, prevent water from splashing over the
flowmeter. Try to finish the wiring as quickly as possible
(4) The converter has an arrestor installed inside. Therefore, do not conduct a withstand voltage test
for the converter. To check the insulation of the converter, use a voltage of 250Vdc or less.
(5) After wiring, be sure to install the terminal block protection cover.
(6) Because the excitation cable and flow rate signal cable transmit very delicate signals, pass each of
them separately through a thick steel conduit tube, keep them away from the large current wiring as
far as possible, and do not install them in parallel.

8. Principle of Operation
The operating principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday's Law of electromagnetic
induction and it is designed to measure the volumetric flow rate of fluid. An insulated pipe of diameter D is
placed vertically to the direction of a magnetic field with flux density B (see Figure 8.1). When an electrically
conductive fluid flows in the pipe, an electrode voltage E is induced between a pair of electrodes placed at right
angles to the direction of magnetic field. The electrode voltage E is directly proportional to the average fluid
velocity V.
The following expression is applicable to the voltage.
E = induced electrode voltage [V]
E = K × B × D × V [V] ........ (Eq. 8.1)
K = constant
B = magnetic flux density [T]
D = meter pipe diameter [m]
Volumetric flow rate Q [m3/s] is:
V = fluid velocity [m/s]
π × D²
Q =
× V ................(Eq. 8.2)
Using the Equation 8.1 and 8.2
4
E = K × B × D ×
× Q
π × D²
× Q ............(Eq. 8.3)

E =
π × D
Therefore, volumetric flow rate is directly proportional to the induced voltage.

The GF630/LF600F, GF630/LF610F and GF632 use the square-wave excitation method, which provides long-term
stable operation. With square-wave excitation, the GF630/LF600F, GF630/LF610F and GF632 offers reliable
measurement without being affected by electrostatic or electromagnetic interference, or electrochemical
polarization between the electrodes and the fluid to be measured.

To select the meter size: See Figure 9.2 and find meter sizes within the velocity of 0.1 to 10 m/s for a specified
full-scale (measuring range high limit) flow. Select one that has its full-scale velocity
between 1 and 3 m/s.
Make sure the full-scale flow rate used for the final planning stage stays
within 10 m/s in terms of flow velocity.
