LF502/LF232*F
6” to 24”
Electromagnetic Flowmeter for
Partially-filled Pipes
(150 to 600 mm )
Introduction
The LF502 electromagnetic flowmeter uses Faraday’s
Law of electromagnetic induction in the same way as
conventional electromagnetic flowmeters to measure
the flow rate. Position of electrodes in the LF502 is so
designed that it can be used even in a partially-filled
pipe to measure the flow rate.
Improved functional magnetic field distribution
technique enables a high-precision flow measurement
continually from low-level to fully-filled flow
conditions. This eliminates unnecessary piping work
such as lifting the downstream pipe section to fill the
detector pipe.
LF502
LF232*F
Compared with flowmeters measuring the flow rate by
means of flow level, the obstruction less LF502
flowmeter does not usually allow mud, sands and other
solid sediment stay at the bottom of the detector pipe
and is unaffected by wave or floating solids on the fluid
surface.

Wiring Precautions
larger core cable for grounding of detector and
wire 1 place as follows.
(1) Be sure to use thick walled steel conduit (22
mm) for signal and excitation cable wiring
between the detector and converter. The
conduit screw is R (PT)1/2. Use flexible
conduits at the cable outlets of the detector as
needed.
• Between Grounding terminal at detector
body and Grounding (100 ohm or less).
(4) DO1 to DO4 and DI1 to DI2 use the same
common terminal (COM). This COM can not
connect to other instruments that have their
own ground terminal (Power supply for
connecting to DI or DO, etc...). Need to wire
separately.
(2) Make the grounding wire as short as possible.
Do not use a common ground shared with
other equipment where earth current may flow.
An independent earth ground is recommended.
(3) The meter may affect its accuracy when the
electric potential of measurement fluid is
unstable condition.
• Make the piping of the upstream side and
downstream side the same material.
• When the material of next pipes are conductive
like metal, use a 5.5mm2 or larger core cable for
grounding of detector and wire it at 2 places as
follows.
• Between Grounding terminal at detector body
and Grounding ring at upstream side.
• Between Grounding terminal at detector body
and Grounding ring at downstream side.
• When the material of next pipes are

About establishment environment
Do not store or install the flowmeter:
• Where there is direct sunlight.
■
Piping Precautions
(1) Flange connection
The flowmeter has upstream and downstream
flanges on the ends of detector pipe. Connect
these flanges with the flanges on both sides of
pipeline bore using connection bolts after
inserting a gasket between them. See Figure 7.
Tighten the bolts in even increments diagonally
across.
• Where excessive vibration or mechanical shock
occurs.
• Where high temperature or high humidity
conditions exist.
• Where corrosive atmospheres exist.
• Places that can be submerged under water.
• Where there is sloped 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.
In areas like the following, there may be the case that
infrared switches do not function correctly. (If these
are unavoidable, use an appropriate cover.)
(1) Where unit (operation panel) is exposed to direct
sunlight, reflection of light onto window pane and
diffused light reflection.

(2) Where smoke and steam may occur.

(3) Where exposed to direct snow, ice or mud.

Ordering Information
(2) Required straight pipe length
1. When ordering the LF502 flowmeter, refer to
Table 1 (Type Specification Codes). An entry
must be made for each of the columns in each of
these tables.
2. Fluid characteristics:
(1) Type of fluid to be measured and its
characteristics
(2) Fluid temperature
(3) Fluid pressure
(4) Electrical conductivity of the fluid
3. Measuring range
4. Digital I/O specifications
5. Ordering scope:
The straight pipe length is required to prevent
uneven flow velocity and a disturbance on the
fluid surface in the detector pipe. The required
straight pipe length should be as follows:
• Downstream side:L = 5D minimum
• Upstream side:L = 10D minimum
where,
L = straight pipe length (straight pipeline length
+ half length of detector pipe length)
