2. Description
2.1. Design
The FLOWX3 NEW F9.63M Insertion Magmeter is suitable to measure flowrate in both
metal and thermoplastic pipelines.
No moving mechanical parts and the high quality materials allow the measurement of
liquids where suspended solids can be present or of abrasive liquids as long as they
are conductive and homogeneous.
The sensor can be assembled into the standard FLS fitting range so it is perfectly
interchangeable with the paddlewheel sensors. The new design allows an accurate
flow measurement over a wide dynamic range in pipe sizes from DN15 (0.5”) to
DN600 (24”).
The FLS FlowX3 F9.63 offer an indication and a 4…20 mA signal for long distance
transmission and it also provides one programmable open collector output and two
relay outputs. Self explaining calibration menus allow a customized setup of all
measuring parameters and the state of the art electronic design ensures long-term
reliable and stable signals.

2.3. Operating Principle
If an electrical conductor is caused to move in a magnetic field, such movement
induces a voltage in the conductor ( Faraday’s law ). The magnetic coil in the body of
the instrument generates a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow direction. The
magnetic field and the velocity induce a voltage between the electrodes. The voltage is
directly proportional to the flow velocity.
The voltage is converted into a flow proportional 4-20 mA output signal or frequency
output signal.

4. Installation
4.1. Location
Different pipe configurations and obstacles in the flow line such as valves, elbows, pipe
bends and strainers create variations on the flow profile.
Whenever possible follow the EN ISO 5167-1 installation recommendations to locate
the sensor.
Always maximize distance between flow sensor and pump.
4.2. Mounting Position
The following configurations ensure that the pipe is always full: for a correct
measurement the sensor can NOT be exposed to air bubbles at any time.
Avoid the following situations unless you are absolutely sure the sensor is not exposed
to air bubbles.

In gravity-flow systems the connection to the tank must be designed so the level does
not drop below the outlet: this to avoid pipe to draw air in from the tank causing an
erratic measurement of the Magmeter.
4.4. Wiring
All wiring connections to F9.63 are made via removable terminals. Flow sensor
terminals are orange, all other terminals are green.
General recommendation
Always ensure the power supply is switched off before working on the device.
Terminals accept 26 to 12 AWG (0.08 to 2.5 mm2)
Strip around 10 mm (0.4”) of insulation from the wire tips and tin bare ends to
avoid fraying.
Ferrules are suggested when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal.
Remove the upper part of the terminals for an easy cabling.
Insert wire tip or ferrule completely into the terminal and fix with the screw until
finger tight.
The Magmeter output signal may be unstable immediately after the installation.
Install the sensor in a full pipe for 24 hours will stabilize the performance. With a
very low Electrical Conductivity could be necessary a longer conditioning period.
Use electrical cables with the proper external diameter for the liquid tight
connector:
PG11: external diameter between 2-7 mm (0.079-0.276”)
PG13,5: external diameter between 5-12 mm (0.197-0.472”)
