Fluid Components International CMF Series Guide - Manual

Handle The Instrument Carefully
A heavy impact or shock can produce imbalance in the FCI
CMF Series sensor, with consequent measurement
inaccuracy.
Sensor Mounting
The instrument is immune to components that generate
turbulence, such as pipe bends, T-pieces, valves, etc.
However, cavitation and air bubbles in the system must be
avoided.
Horizontal installation is recommended. This avoids solid
particles being deposited in the instrument. Also the
sensor can be easily emptied.
Ensure that the sensor is full of liquid during normal
operation otherwise incorrect measurement will occur.
Before Commissioning
Warning
Before installing this instrument, read the maximum
operating pressure on the sensor label. The pressure
shown is the maximum operational design pressure. If the
measuring pipe breaks, a pressure will be generated in the
enclosure.
The burst pressure for the FCI CMF - Series containment
enclosure ranges from 700 to 2700 psi. (See Handbook
Page 6 Document 06EN003327 for specifications.)
The pressure values are approximate and cannot be
taken as an absolute value indicating when a possible
pipe fracture or leakage will occur.
When working with operating pressures/media which may
cause injuries to people, or equipment, we recommend
special precautions be taken when installing the sensor
i.e. special placement, shielding or a pressure release
valve.
The sensor enclosure has a 1/8 inch nipple. The nipple can
be removed and a pressure switch connected to
automatically shut off the flow to the sensor in case of
leakage. For instructions on the installation, see the Hand
Book.

QUICK START GUIDE
TM
Warning
For field wiring installation, the National Installation
Code shall be met of the country, where the instrument
is installed. Only qualified personnel should install this
instrument. Ensure that power is off during installation.
Where the instructions call for the use of electrical
current, the operator assumes all responsibility for
conformance to safety standards and practices.
Warning
The user shall be made aware if the instrument is used
in a manner not specified by FCI, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
This Quick Start Guide covers the mechanical, electrical
and programming instructions for the Coriolis Flow
Meter.
The flowmeter can be located indoors or outdoors.
Observe the following conditions:
CMF-A Version Process Temperature:
Standard:
-40 to +257°F [-40 to +125°C]
High Temp.: -40 to +356°F [-40 to +180°C]
CMF-B Through F:
Process Temperature:
-58 to +356°F [-50 to +180°C]
Transmitter:
Ambient Temp. Operation: -4 to +122°F [-20 to +50
°C]
Storage: -40 to +158°F [-40 to +70°C]
If there is a large temperature difference between a
process and its surroundings, the sensor must be
insulated to prevent 2-phase flow and measuring
inaccuracy. This applies in the case of low flow.
Important!
The sensor must always be completely filled with a
homogeneous process fluid in single phase, otherwise
measuring errors will occur.
If there is air/gas in the liquid or liquids which are volatile,
horizontal sensor mounting is recommended.
