Important handling and storage instructions
This information applies to the Electromagnetic Flowmeters - MagFlow 6415 and EcoMag 6420.

Handling
Observe the following handling instructions.
• Do not lift the Flowmeter by the top-mounted Transmitter (in case of Integral version)
• Do not lift the Flow Tube by the top-mounted Junction Box (in case of Remote version).
• Always lift the Flowmeter of DN 200 and above, using the eye bolts. Do not lift by its casing.
• Do not drag the Flow Tube with its lining facing the ground. This will damage the lining.
• Do not roll the Flow Tube over its flanges. This will damage the flanges and also Transmitter
or the Junction Box if it hits the ground on rolling.
• Always rest the Flowmeter only in its upright position on the pedestals provided and not on
its casing.

Storage
When the Flowmeter is not in use
• plug the cable glands of Transmitter
• fasten the display side and terminals side covers of the Transmitter
• fasten the cover of the Junction Box (Remote variant) adequately
This will prevent ingress of moisture or water that could either lower the performance or damage
the internal electronics.
When the Flowmeter is not in use over extended periods of time, drain the liquid out of the Flow
Tube.
When storing the Flowmeter, cover the flanges and the Earthing rings with wooden covers to
protect the lining from any damage.

1. Introduction
Adept 6415, 6420
These Electromagnetic Flowmeters are used to measure the flow rate of a variety of electrically
conductive liquids. It functions according to the fundamental principle of Faraday’s law of
Electromagnetic Induction, which describes the relationship between an electrical conductor and
the voltage it generates when moving within a magnetic field.
These flowmeters are offered as two different models -
• MagFlow 6415 (Flow Tube with metal body)
• EcoMag 6420 (Flow Tube with HDPE body)

Principle of operation
In an Electromagnetic Flowmeter, a magnetic field is generated by a pair of diametrically placed
electrical coils mounted external to the flow tube. As the conductive liquid passes through this
Electromagnetic field, an electrical voltage is induced in the liquid, which is directly proportional to
its velocity. This induced voltage is perpendicular to the directions of both - the liquid flow and the
Electromagnetic field.
A pair of diametrically placed electrodes mounted along the inner wall of the flow tube and in the
direction of the induced voltage, sense this induced voltage. The sensed voltage is further
processed by the Transmitter to indicate the flow rate and generate a standard output signal
proportional to the measured flow rate.

Flow computation basics

The flux density of the Electromagnetic field and the distance between the Electrodes are constant
for a given Flowmeter. The induced voltage is therefore only a function of the liquid velocity.

E = K.B.v.D
Where -
E = Induced voltage
B = Magnetic field strength
K = Flow tube (meter) constant
v = Mean flow velocity
D = Distance between the electrodes

And the volumetric flow is calculated as -

qv = (π x D2/4) x v
Therefore,
qv = (π x E x D) / 4 K B
The induced voltage is not affected by the physical properties of the liquid like temperature,
viscosity, pressure, density and conductivity, as long as the conductivity of the measured liquid is
above a minimum threshold.

MagFlow-EcoMag 6415-20 IM R2 200923 Page 5

2. Application areas
These Electromagnetic Flowmeters can be successfully deployed in a wide range of industrial liquid
flow measurement applications. The major industry sectors include, but not limited to:
• Chemical and Process Industries
• Fertilizer Industries
• Pharmaceutical Industries
• Sugar and Beverage Industries
• Paper and Pulp Industries
• Aluminium and Steel Industries
• Mining and Dredging Industries
• Polymer Industries
• Water and Waste Water Management

3. Pre-installation checks
a. Re-confirm the compatibility of the process liquid with the materials of the Flow Tube liner
and the electrodes as ordered by you.
• If the process liquid is a mixture of different components, confirm the compatibility of
all the components.
• Make sure that the electrical conductivity of the liquid is > 20 µS/cm.
• Many process liquids are designated by generic names. But these may contain certain
contaminants in traces. These traces may also be harmful to the Flowmeter. Therefore,
check the compatibility of such traces as well.
• Note that the severity of corrosion of materials depends upon the temperature and the
concentration of the process liquid.
• The corrosion due to service liquid will reduce the life of the Flowmeter.
b. Confirm that the available supply voltage and its frequency (for AC supply) are in accordance
with the specifications of the Flowmeter.
c. Ensure that the selected Flowmeter size is suitable for the flow rate to be measured. Note
that the velocity under normal conditions should be between 0.2 m/s and 12 m/s.
d. Confirm that an appropriate Earth pit is available for proper Grounding.

5. Flow Tube Installation
Important instruction for Empty Pipe detection
The Empty Pipe detection feature will function only if the Flow Tube is installed with the Transmitter
(Integral) and Junction Box (Remote) oriented as shown. Do not orient in any other direction.

Selection of mounting locations

The Electromagnetic Flowmeters MagFlow 6415 and EcoMag 6420 must be installed at a point in
the pipeline which satisfies the following requirements. MagFlow 6415 model is shown for
illustration purpose.
a. The flow tube must be full of liquid to avoid erratic measurement results.
b. Ensure that the Electrodes axis is horizontal within ±15 degrees.
c. Ensure straight pipe lengths on either ends of the flow tube – five times pipe diameter length
of piping upstream and three times pipe diameter downstream from the centre of the flow
tube.

d. The flow tube may be installed in horizontal pipelines preferably with a slight upward gradient
in the direction of flow.
MagFlow-EcoMag 6415-20 IM R2 200923 Page 9
 e. Never install the flow tube that will cause it to remain empty or partially full. Never install the
flow tube in vertical pipelines with the liquid flow in the downward direction.

f. The piping layout must prevent any build-up of air. Any entrained air should be carried out of
the flow tube by the liquid flow or by buoyancy at zero flow.
g. Ensure that installation location is such that water or moisture does not enter the electrical
terminations area.
h. If the connecting pipeline is not electrically conducting or is lined with insulating material,
strap the grounding rings to the detector head flanges at either end.

i. If for some reason, the complete draining out of process liquid at zero flow is unavoidable,
use empty pipe detection option to obtain correct flow status and prevent erratic output.

Typical inline mounting arrangement

The MagFlow 6415 Flow Tube (metal body) mounting is as follows. Integral variant is shown for
illustration purpose.

MagFlow-EcoMag 6415-20 IM R2 200923 Page 10

 The EcoMag 6420 Flow Tube (HDPE body) mounting is as follows. Integral variant is shown for
illustration purpose.

Tightening of the flange bolts

Apply a thin layer of fresh industrial grease to the threads of the bolts prior to tightening. Tighten
all the mounting bolts uniformly without under or over tightening of any of the bolts. Tighten the
bolts in a cross-sequence as per the order shown below for few flange sizes.

Use an appropriate torque wrench. During the first pass, tighten to approximately 50%, during the
second pass to approximately 80% and only during the third pass to 100% of the maximum torque.

MagFlow-EcoMag 6415-20 IM R2 200923 Page 11

Flow Tube Local Earthing / Grounding
a. A proper grounding of the Primary Head is very important to ensure proper functioning and
accurate measurement by the Flowmeter.
b. This ground is the reference ground for measurement and should not introduce any
interference into the signal to be measured.
c. Use 2.5 mm2 or higher conductor diameter cable for Earthing.
d. To prevent any electrical interferences do not connect the ground of any other heavy
electrical equipment, to this ground.
e. This ground also functions as the safety ground.

Checking for sealing

Once the flow tube has been mounted, fill the pipeline gradually (preferably) with water instead of
process liquid and confirm that the entire mounting is leak-free.
If even minor leaks are noticed, check the axial alignment of the flow tube with the upstream and
downstream pipe lengths, cleanliness of gasket, the rating of gasket material and proper tightening
of the bolts. After eliminating the leakages, allow the process liquid to pass through the pipeline.

MagFlow-EcoMag 6415-20 IM R2 200923 Page 12

6. Transmitter Installation
Integral type Transmitter

Remote type Transmitter
a. However, in case of a Remote Type Flowmeter, a Junction Box comes pre-mounted atop the
Flow Tube. The Coil and Electrodes cable is delivered by connecting it to the Junction Box. The
Transmitter along with its Mounting Bracket is delivered separately.
b. The images below show only the Junction Box mounted on the Flow Tube in case of MagFlow
6415 and EcoMag 6420.

c. For the Remote Type Flowmeter as well, install the Flow Tube as described in the section
‘Installing the Flow Tube’.

d. Take care that the pre-connected Coil and Electrodes cable does not get damaged during this
installation.
e. Fix the Transmitter mounting bracket onto a horizontal or vertical 2” NB pipe. Alternatively,
fix the bracket directly onto a wall.
f. You can rotate the Transmitter around its mounting axis to set a suitable viewing angle.

MagFlow-EcoMag 6415-20 IM R2 200923 Page 14

Protecting the Transmitter

8. Powering up the Flowmeter
Confirm that installation has been done and completed as described in this manual. Then, the
Flowmeter is ready for operational use.
Switch-on the mains power to the Transmitter. The Transmitter is delivered duly calibrated and
configured for the range of flow rate measurement, as ordered by you.
Allow the process liquid to start flowing through the Flow Tube. Ensure that flow rate is within the
specified limits for the Flowmeter. Excess flow rate could damage the Flow Tube lining.
The Flowmeter will start indicating the flow rate and driving the current output proportional to the
flow rate.

Quick Zero calibration

If this is the first power-up of the Flowmeter after installation, perform the Quick Zero
Calibration procedure. This allows the flowmeter to adapt to the operating conditions at the point
of installation. Refer to the section ‘Quick Zero calibration’ for details.

9. User interface

12. Operational precautions

a. The Junction Box of the Flow Tube in case of a Remote Transmitter is designed for field
applications and use. However, it is advisable to protect it from exposure to direct sunlight
and rain, by installing a weather shade over it. Likewise, the Transmitter is designed for field
applications and use. However, it is advisable to protect it from exposure to direct sunlight
and rain, by installing a weather shade over it. This will help extend the useful life of the
Flowmeter as a whole.
b. Keep the covers of the Transmitter and that of the Junction Box well fastened, taking care
that the O-rings and Gaskets are undamaged and properly seated for effective sealing.
c. Keep the cable gland nuts tight and ensure that the cables are gripped uniformly around their
circumference to prevent any ingress of moisture or water into the Transmitter and Terminal
Box.
d. Ensure that the Mains power supply is stable, without any surges & spikes and well within the
specified range.
e. To avoid damage to the Flow Tube’s lining, ensure that the process liquid is free of any
abrasives at flow velocities that are close to the maximum flow rates. In case the liquid has
abrasives, restrict the flow velocity to a value below 3 m/s.
f. Measure and ensure that there are no sources of strong magnetic field in the immediate
vicinity of the Flow Tube. Such magnetic fields can interfere and alter the output signal of the
Flowmeter.
g. Follow these steps to check that the zero-flow condition is proper.
• Stop the flow through the Flow Tube by shutting off the valve which is immediately
downstream of the Flow Tube.
• This way the Flow Tube will remain filled with liquid.
• Keep the Transmitter powered ON.
• Measure the output signal using a calibrated 3½ digital multimeter.
• The output must be within 4±0.01 mA.
h. If the output is not within above values, the possible causes can be
• Improper grounding
• Shifted zero. In this case follow the Calibration mode.
• Contaminated electrodes
Note that the pulsed-DC technique of exciting the field coils ensures a stable zero or auto
zeroing, provided all other requirements are satisfied.
i. The flowing liquid must be free of any gas bubbles as the presence of bubbles causes falsified
output.
