M-SERIES CONVERTER OVERVIEW
1.0 M-SERIES CONVERTER OVERVIEW
Read this entire manual prior to installation and/or changing any settings. Retain this manual in your records, DO
NOT DISCARD.
The M-Series signal converter is the reporting, input and output control device for the sensor. The converter
allows the measurements, functional programming, control of the sensor and data recording to be communicated
through the display and inputs & outputs. The M-Series microprocessor-based signal converter has a twelve-point
curve-fitting algorithm to improve accuracy, dual 4-20mA analog outputs, an RS485 communication port, an
8-line graphical backlit LCD display with 3-key touch programming, and a rugged enclosure that meets IP67. In
addition to a menu-driven self-diagnostic test mode, the converter continually monitors the microprocessor's
functionality. The converter will output rate of flow and total volume. The converter also comes standard with
password protection and many more features.

CONVERTER INSTALLATION
1.1 Serial Numbers
The converter and sensor are supplied as a matched system. Verify the meter serial numbers on both the converter
and sensor match. This will ensure a properly calibrated system.
The tag on the side of the converter has the Converter Model Number, the Converter Serial Number, the Meter
Model Number and the Meter Serial Number. An example is show below as Figure 3.

i IMPORTANT: Verify the Meter Serial Numbers on both the converter and sensor match. This will
ensure a properly calibrated system. The Meter Serial Number is located on the side of the sensor,
and the Converter Serial Number and the Meter Serial Number are located on a label on the side of
the converter. Ensure the Meter Serial Number on the sensor and the converter tags match.
2.0 CONVERTER INSTALLATION

2.1 Mounting The Converter
If possible mount the converter in an electronics shed or environmental enclosure. If the converter is mounted
outdoors a sun shield is recommended. The sun shield should be oriented in a direction to reduce sun damage
and ensure readability. The converter is mounted using two bolts (see Figure 1). A service loop in the cables is
required (see section 2.2). This electronic unit is rated IP67 for temporary flooding.
2.2 Installing Cables To Converter And Service Loop

Conduit of any kind CANNOT be attached directly to the electronics enclosure. Attaching conduit directly to the
enclosure will introduce dangerous gasses and moisture into the enclosure creating a dangerous condition, and
will remove the enclosure's IP67 rating. Attaching conduit to the enclosure or altering the enclosure in any
way will void the warranty.
Any cable running through a conduit must exit the conduit and have a minimum of an 8" service loop before
entering the electronics enclosure through the cable glands. All cable compression glands must be properly
tightened to prevent moisture intrusion and maintain the IP67 rating. This allows the electronics enclosure to be
rotated and the rear panel to be accessed. If electrically bonding (grounding) the enclosure to metallic conduit
or raceways, secure a lead wire to the enclosures back panel screw and attach the lead to a listed and approved
conduit grounding bushing (see Figure 4). To insure IP67 rating use only round cable 0.125" to 0.375" in diameter.
i IMPORTANT: Do not cut or alter the cable length on power or signal cables!
Connections to the sensor must be made with cable supplied by McCrometer specifically for that
purpose. Do not substitute the supplied cable with other types of cable, even for short runs. For repairs
or added lengths of cable, the entire cable between the sensor and the converter must be replaced.
(Consult factory for replacement cable.)

CONVERTER INSTALLATION
! WARNING: Do not connect any form of conduit directly to the converter enclosure. Doing so will
allow moisture and potentially dangerous gasses to enter directly into the converter. Attaching any
conduit to the enclosure, or altering the enclosure in any way will void the warranty.

2.3 Pulling Sensor Cable Through Electrical Conduit

It is very important to protect the end of the sensor cable when pulling it through a conduit. Water can accumulate
in low portions of conduit. Always use the factory supplied cable cover, or similar method, to seal the end of the
cable against water when pulling the cable through conduit (see Figure 5). This will ensure proper operation of
the meter.
1. Tie a rope or cable-snake securely around the middle of the cable cover.
2. Carefully pull the rope or snake until the sensor cable end clears the conduit.
3. Bring the cable end to the converter location. If necessary, secure the cable so that it does not fall back
through the conduit.
4. Remove the cable cover by pulling the rip wire. The cable cover will tear off (discard the cover).
i CAUTION: Do not cut the cable cover off. Doing so may damage the sensor cable and adversely effect
the calibration of the meter.

3.4 4-20mA Hook-Up
Isolated 4-20mA current loops are used to output flow data to external devices. Maximum load impedance is
1,000Ω, and the maximum voltage without load is 27VDC. The converter has the capability to detect a loss of load
on this output. To disable this function set the value “mA Val. Fault” under the ALARMS menu to zero (see section
7.4). A graphical example of the usage of the current loop with external device is shown below:

Figure 15. 4-20mA Hook-Up
i IMPORTANT - RESISTOR REMOVAL FOR 4-20mA OUTPUTS

It is required to remove the resistors from terminals 25 & 27 and/or 26 & 27 before attaching 4-20mA
cables.
FORWARD FLOW: Remove the resistor from terminals 25 and 27.
REVERSE FLOW: Remove the resistor from terminals 26 and 27.
See Section 3.1, "Terminal Board", Figure 6.
If the external device requires a voltage input, a precision resistor placed across the input terminals of the external
device will change the current to voltage. Calculate the required resistor using Ohm’s law (V = I x R). For example,
a 250Ω resistor will provide an input voltage of one to five volts with the transmitter range being set from 4mA to
20mA. An additional 4 to 20mA loop output is available.
i IMPORTANT
The converter powers the 4-20mA loops. Do not use external power for the 4-20mA loop as it may
cause permanent damage to the converter.

i IMPORTANT
The converter cannot detect the type of device it is connected to so it is up to the user to verify the
setting is compatible with the external device receiving the pulse. Incorrect settings can damage the
receiving device. See section 7.6, "Menu 6 - Outputs" for output specifications.
Tpls2
Duration of the pulse output 1 expressed in milliseconds. This option is only available when out2 in "Menu 6 -
Outputs" is set to #2 Freq. The pulse duration can be set from .4 to 9999.99.
ND
Inside Pipe Diameter. The inner diameter of the pipe entered in millimeters. Setting the ND value to zero will cause
the converter to display the velocity instead of flow rate. Totalizer will then increment in feet or meters. NOTE:
Nominal pipe size and the pipe inside diameter are in most cases different from one another. The calculation of a
paired FPI Mag system is derived from the pipe inside diameter. Ensure the correct value is supplied for a properly
calibrated system.
Cut-off
Cutoff point which all flow is reported as zero. This value is set as a percentage of the full scale.
Simulation
Simulation enable. Setting this menu to ON will generate an internal signal that simulates flow and allows
the outputs and all connected instruments to be tested. After simulation is set to ON, the flow can be set to a
percentage based on the current FS1 setting -125% to 125%.
To enable the simulation function, use the Right/Left key to highlight the Simulation menu and press the Enter/Esc
key, you will be prompted for code L2. Use the Up/Down and Right/Left keys to enter the code 00002. Then press
the Enter/Esc key to enter the code.

flow rate percentage value for the simulation. Press the Enter/Esc key
to enter that value.
The converter will start to read flow. It may take a few seconds for the
readings to appear. Repeat the above steps as needed to observe the
different flow rates desired.
To exit out of simulation mode, re-enter into the simulation set up
screen (see above) and then press and hold the Enter/Esc key. This will
exit out to the visualization screen, and the “S” in the upper left corner
of the screen will return to a “1”.

7.3 Menu 3 - Measure
Damping
This sets the dampening or filter setting for the meter. This setting is extremely important. The correct filter
setting ensures the proper response of the meter to the measured flow rate. The available dampening filter values
range from 0 (no dampening or dampening OFF) to a maximum dampening of 1,000 seconds. There are also
some specialized settings, SMART 1, SMART 2, and SMART 4, which dampen small flow variations but react more
aggressively to large variations. With the dampening turned off the converter responds immediately to any change
in flow. This can result in a noisy output and should only be used in batching operations were flow rates are highly
regulated and incremental quantities of flow are small. With the dampening set to values between 0.2 seconds
and 1000 seconds the converter buffers and averages flow data over the period of time specified. Larger values
tend to provide a quieter and more stable output but will respond more sluggishly to large changes or transitions
in flow rate. The specialized, SMART settings are not intended for use with the FPI, SPI, or UltraMag flow meters
and should not be selected. Typically, the FPI, SPI, and UltraMag meters are set with a damping of 10 seconds. This
setting can be changed to make the meter more or less responsive and/or stable. To make large changes to the
setting please contact the factory to understand the application specific consequences of doing so.
Cut-off
Cutoff point which all flow is reported as zero. This value is set as a percentage of the full scale. (Note: Default cut-
off point = 2.0% of full scale.)
7.4 Menu 4 - Alarms

Max Thr +
Max Thr +, Maximum flow threshold, forward flow. This is the set point to trigger a high flow alarm set as a
percentage of full scale. This function is disabled when set to zero.
Max Thr -
Maximum flow threshold, reverse flow. This is the set point to trigger a high flow alarm set as a percentage of full
scale. This function is disabled when set to zero.
Min thr +
Minimum flow threshold, forward flow. This is the set point to trigger a low flow alarm set as a percentage of full
Min thr -
Minimum flow threshold, reverse flow. This is the set point to trigger a high flow alarm set as a percentage of full
Hyst.
Alarm Hysteresis. Set 0-25%. This sets the lag in response based on a percentage of the full scale. Example if the
alarm triggers at 100% and the hysteresis is set to 2% then once triggered the current rate must change beyond
2% to exit out of the current alarm state. This setting applies to all alarms.
mA v. fault
mA value fault. Current output value during alarm events set as a percentage 0-120% of the current output range.
The current range 0/4mA to 20/22mA is set in "Menu 6 - Outputs" (section 7.6). For example, if an empty pipe
alarm is present and the mA v. fault value is set to 10% and the current scaling is set 4 to 20mA, then the current
output would send a 2mA signal until the empty pipe alarm is cleared. This function is disabled when set to zero.
Hz v. fault
Hertz value fault. Frequency output value during alarm events set as a percentage 0-125% of the frq1/frq2 range.
For example, if an empty pipe alarm is present and the Hz v. fault value is set to 110% and the Frq1 scaling is 100
Hz, then the frequency output on channel 1 would send a 110 Hz signal until the empty pipe alarm is cleared. This
function is disabled when set to zero.

Note regarding cable length: McCrometer recommends minimizing cable length. Electromagnetic flow meters
may have unfavorable signal strength to noise ratio in electrically noisy environments. Longer lengths of cable
increase the likelihood of interferance. In those cases where the meter’s signal must be transmitted a long
distance, or where the environment may be particularly noisy, we suggest using the converter’s analog output(s).
That allows locating the converter as close as possible to the metering location.

Problem Troubleshooting Steps

Not getting expected 4-20mA output • Ensure the wiring is firmly connected on the 4-20mA output
terminals
• Verify resistor removed from terminal block
• Verify the FS1 setting in the Quick Start menu is set to the correct
value, matches PLC/SCADA value
• Measure output on the 4-20mA terminals and compare it to the
calculated current value
Curr. Loop Open Alarm • Ensure the wiring is firmly connected on the 4-20mA output
terminals
• If the 4-20mA output is not being used, ensure the 4-20mA
terminals have a load resistor installed
• Remove the wires from the 4-20mA terminals and measure the
current output direct
Excitation Fail (0800) Alarm • Ensure the wiring is firmly connected
• Disconnect the coil wires from the converter and check their
resistance with a standard multi-meter. Contact the factory for the
proper value for the sensor.
• Ensure the wiring is firmly connected to any PreAmp being used.
Noisy Input Alarm • Verify there is a jumper on correct terminals:
• 15 - 18 for Ultra Mag, FPI Mag 395L, and SPI Mag
• 18 - 19 for FPI Mag 394L
• Verify the converter ground is to earth ground
• Check for damaged cable between the sensor and converter
Empty Pipe Alarm • Increase threshold to 250.
• Confirm the pipe is full. If pipe is always full, turn off EP Detect
• Verify there is a jumper on correct terminals:
• 15 - 18 for Ultra Mag, FPI Mag 395L, and SPI Mag
• 18 - 19 for FPI Mag 394L
• Check that sensor is properly grounded
• Conduct a bucket test to confirm the EP Threshold value is set
correctly. Consult the factory for assistance.
• Check for damaged cable between the sensor and converter
Unstable Flow Readings • Check installation straight run requirements are men
• Check grounding connections
• Check power circuit. What other devices are on the circruit
• Install dedicated ground circuit
Menu Not Accessible • Confirm the password being used is 000002
• Verify dip switches in the back panel next to the terminals 1 and 2
are both down.
Rate Of Flow Report Is Not As • Confirm the unit is programmed correctly by requesting a program
Expected setting report from the factory.
