2.2.2 Float damping

Float damping is characterised by high standstill times and self-centering. The damping sleeve
is made of high performance ceramic or PEEK, depending on the medium and the application.
Float damping can also be retrofitted for the user (refer to "Service").
Use of damping
• Generally when CIV and DIV floats are used for gas measurement.
• For devices with a nominal size of DN100 / 4".
• For TIV floats (H250/RR and H250/HC only) with an operating primary pressure:
Nominal size according to Operating primary pressure
EN 1092-1 ASME B16.5 [bar] [psig]

DN50 1/2" ≤ 0.3 ≤ 4.4
DN25 1" ≤ 0.3 ≤ 4.4
DN50 2" ≤ 0.2 ≤ 2.9
DN80 3" ≤ 0.2 ≤ 2.9
DN100 4" ≤ 0.2 ≤ 2.9
Table 2-1: Float damping

2.2.3 Pointer damping

In principle, the indicating element with its magnetic system contains indicator damping.
An additional eddy current brake is advantageous in the event of fluctuating or pulsing flows.
The magnets on the eddy current brake surround the pointer vane without touching it, damping
its movement. The result is a much steadier pointer position, without distorting the measured
value. The eddy current brake can be retrofitted during operation without recalibration.
Note the maximum tightening torque (0.12 Nm) for the turnbuckle!

• Store the device in a dry, dust-free location.
• Avoid lasting direct exposure to the sun.
• Store the measuring device in the original packaging.
• The permissible storage temperatures for standard devices are: -40...+80°C / -40...+176°F
3.3 Transport
If possible, transport the device to the installation point in the original packaging.

3 INSTALLATION H250 M40
3.4 Installation conditions

CAUTION!
When installing the device in the piping, the following points must be observed:
• The variable area flowmeter H250 must be installed vertically (within 5° of the vertical).
H250Hs are installed horizontally (within 5° of the horizontal).
H250U devices are installed upright with the flow direction from top to bottom (within 5° of
the vertical).
• A straight unimpeded inlet run of ≥ 5 DN upstream of the device and a straight outlet run of
≥ 3 DN downstream of the device are recommended. Especially for devices equal or bigger
than DN50 / 2" in order to minimise wear by turbulent float movements.
• Screws, bolts and gaskets are to be provided by the customer and must be selected in
accordance with the pressure rating of the connection or the operating pressure.
• The inner diameter of the flange deviates from the standard dimensions. Flange seal
standard DIN 2690 or ASME B16.21 can be applied.
• Align the gaskets. Tighten nuts with the tightening torques of the appropriate pressure
rating.
For devices with PTFE liner or ceramic liner and PTFE raised faces, refer to chapter
"Tightening torques".
• Control devices are to be positioned downstream of the measuring device.
• Shutoff devices are preferably to be positioned upstream of the measuring device.
• Before connecting, blow or flush out the pipes leading to the device.
• Piping for gas flow need to be dried before the device is installed.
• Use connectors suitable for the particular device version.
• Align the piping centrically with the process connections on the measuring device so they are
free of stresses.
• If necessary, the piping has to be supported to reduce the vibrations transmitted to the
measuring device.
• Do not lay signal cables directly next to cables for the power supply.
• When mounting several measuring devices next to each other or next to ferromagnetic
system components or solenoid valves, a minimum lateral distance must be ensured.
• The device must not be heated by radiated heat (e.g. exposure to the sun) to an electronics
housing surface temperature above the maximum permissible ambient temperature. If it is
necessary to prevent damage from heat sources, a heat protection (e.g. sun shade) has to be
installed.

Minimum distances
When mounting several measuring devices next to each other or next to ferromagnetic system
components or solenoid valves, a minimum lateral distance a > 300 mm / 11.8" must be ensured.
Figure 3-1: Minimum distance between devices
Installation position for H250H

INFORMATION!
Take special note of the installation position for the H250H with horizontal flow direction.
Figure 3-2: Installation position for H250H
In order to comply with thermal parameters and measuring accuracy, H250H flowmeters for
horizontal installation are to be installed in the pipeline so that the indicator is located on the
side of the measuring tube. The maximum product and ambient temperatures indicated as well
as the measuring accuracy are based on lateral installation of the indicator.

4.2.2 Current output ESK4A

The connecting terminals of the ESK4A have a pluggable design and can be removed in order to
connect the cables.
Figure 4-6: ESK4A connection

1 Current output of ESK4A
2 Power supply 14...32 VDC (intrinsically safe max. 30 VDC)
3 Measuring signal 4...20 mA
4 External load, HART® communication
Power supply ESK4A with galvanic isolation

Wiring must be planned with great care when it comes to connecting other devices such as
evaluation units or process control. Internal connections in these devices (e.g. GND with PE,
mass loops) may lead to non-permitted voltage potentials which could negatively affect the
function of the converter itself or that of a device connected to it. In such cases a protected extra-
low voltage (PELV) is recommended.
Figure 4-7: Power supply of ESK4A with galvanic isolation

1 Terminal connection
2 Signal converter isolator with galvanic isolation
3 Power supply (refer to isolator information)
4 Measuring signal 4...20 mA
5 External load, HART® communication

Power supply
INFORMATION!
The supply voltage has to be between 14 VDC and 32 VDC. This is based on the total resistance of
the measuring loop. To calculate this, the resistance of each component in the measuring loop
(not including the device) must be added up.
The required supply voltage can be calculated using the following formula:
Uext. = RL * 22 mA + 14 V
with
Uext. = minimum supply voltage
RL = total measuring loop resistance
INFORMATION!
The power supply has to be able to supply a minimum of 22 mA.
When HART® communication is carried out with the ESK4A, the analogue measured data
transmission (4...20 mA) is not impaired in any way.
Exception for multidrop operation. In multidrop operation a maximum of 15 devices with HART®
function can be operated in parallel, whereby their current outputs are switched to inactive
(I approx. 4.5 mA per device).

Load for HART® communication

INFORMATION!
For HART® communication a load of at least 250 Ω is required.
The maximum load resistance is calculated as follows:
RL = (Uext. - 14 V) / 22 mA
DANGER!
Use a twisted two-core cable to prevent electrical interference from impeding the DC output
signal.
In some cases a shielded cable may be necessary, e.g if noise levels higher than the NE 21
specification are anticipated.
Configuration
The ESK4A can be configured via HART® communication. DD (Device Description) for AMS and
PDM as well as a DTM (Device Type Manager) for PACTwareTM are available for the
configuration. They can be downloaded free of charge from the website of the manufacturer.
The current flow rate can be transmitted using the integrated HART® communication. A flow
counter can be configured. Two limit values can be monitored. The limit values are assigned
either to flow values or to the counter overflow.
Self monitoring - Diagnostics

During both start-up and operation, a wide variety of diagnostic functions are performed
cyclically in the ESK4A in order to guarantee function reliability.
When an error is detected, a failure signal (high) is activated (factory setting: current >21 mA,
optional configuration as failure signal (low): < 3.6 mA) via the analogue output.
The failure signal is not activated for information and warnings. In addition more detailed
information can be requested via HART® (CMD#48).
Diagnostic functions (Monitoring):

• Plausibility of FRAM data
• Plausibility of ROM data
• Working range of internal reference voltages
• Signal detection of the measuring range of the internal sensors
• Temperature compensation of the internal sensors
• Calibration based on the application
• Plausibility of counting value
• Plausibility of physical unit, system and selected unit
• Application diagnostics blocked float, pulsating flow, magnetic field interference
For ESK4A (HART® 7) the diagnosis is reported in compliance with NE 107.

4.2.3 Limit outputs ESK4-T

Once the housing cover has been unscrewed, the scale can be removed.
The connection terminals have a pluggable design and can be removed to connect the cables.
Figure 4-8: Position of the connection terminals

1 Binary output B1
2 ESK4A power supply / current output
3 Binary output B2
4 Binary input B3
The binary inputs/outputs are electrically isolated from each other and from the ESK4A current
output.
INFORMATION!
The binary inputs/outputs can only be operated if the power supply is applied to ESK4A terminal
11+ and 12-. The binary inputs/outputs are inactive by default and must thus be activated prior to
first use (for details refer to ESK4-T menu on page 49).
Connection binary outputs

In accordance with the desired signal transmission, select one of the following connection types
for binary outputs B1 and B2:

Table 4-6: Value range for transistor output
To ensure the value ranges, a load RL between 250 Ω and 1 kΩ is recommended for the passive transistor
output with a nominal voltage of 24 VDC.
If other loads are used, caution is advised as the range of values of the signal voltages then no longer
corresponds to the range of values for the inputs of process control systems and controls (IEC 60946).
CAUTION!
The upper limit of the signal current must not be exceeded as this may damage the transistor
output.

4.2.4 Pulse output ESK4-T

INFORMATION!
The binary outputs B1/B2 can also be operated as pulse outputs. When using the binary outputs
as a pulse output, two separate signal circuits are required.
Each signal circuit requires its own power supply.
The total resistance ④ must be adapted so that the total current Itot does not exceed 100 mA.

1 OPERATION
Selection / Input Explanation
1.1 OUTPUT B1 Output B1 is a binary switching output. In Fct. 3.2, one of the following functions can be
selected for this output:
INACTIVE, SWITCH POINT, COUNT. LIMIT, PULSE OUTP., DIAGNOSTIC
One of the following functions can be selected as contact type in Fct. 3.3:
NORM.OPEN ① / NORM.CLOSED ②
1.1.1
INACTIVE -
MEAS.VAL. B1 Switching point of flow value
Value range: 0.0…full scale range
The switching point is entered in flow units.
If the current flow value exceeds this pre-determined switching point, output B1 changes
its binary state ③ .
In Fct. 1.1.2 a hysteresis can be specified additionally.

CNT. VAL. B1 Switching point of totaliser value
Value range: 0.0…counter limit
The switching point is entered in volume or mass units.
If the the current counter value exceeds this pre-determined switching point, output B1
changes its binary state ③ .
There is no hysteresis setting for the switching point of the counter value.
PULSE WIDTH Pulse weight (pulse/unit)
The weight is only displayed here.
A configuration takes place in Fct. 1.3.1 PULSE WIDTH, 1.3.2 PULSE/UNIT and 3.11.2
COUNTER.
1.1.2 HYST. B1 Hysteresis for the switching point of the flow value
Value range: 0.0…switching point
If the current flow value exceeds the pre-determined switching point from Fct. 1.1.1,
output B1 changes its binary state ③ .
In order for output B1 to change its binary state back to the initial setting, the switching
point made smaller by the hysteresis must be undershot ④ .
Example:
In 1.1.1, a switching point of 200 L/h is set.
The possible value range for the hysteresis is then 0.0…200 L/h.
With a hysteresis value of 0, the switching point has no hysteresis ( ③ = ④ ).
If a hysteresis value of 20 L/h is entered, output B1 changes its binary state to the initial
setting, if it drops below 180 L/h ④ .


1.2 OUTPUT B2 Output B2 is a binary switching output. In Fct. 3.4, one of the following functions can be
selected for this output:
INACTIVE, SWITCH POINT, COUNT. LIMIT, PULSE OUTP., DIAGNOSTIC
One of the following functions can be selected as contact type in Fct. 3.5:
NORM.OPEN ① / NORM.CLOSED ②

1.2.2 HYST. B2 Refer to HYST. B1
1.3 PULSE OUTP. -
1.3.1 PULSE WIDTH
50ms Ti = 50 ms; fmax = 10 Hz
max. pulses/h = 36000
200ms Ti = 200 ms; fmax = 2.5 Hz
1.3.2 PULSE/UNIT 0.001...1000
Pulse per volume or mass unit of counter (setting in Fct. 3.11.2), which can be output via
one of the binary outputs. The maximum frequency for the pulse output (refer to Fct 1.3.1)
cannot be exceeded, even at maximum flow rate (full scale).
Example:
Final value Qmax = 1200 L/h; volume unit of counter = Litre; pulse width = 100ms;
If the factor 1 is entered, 1 pulse/litre = 1200 pulses are generated in one hour at maximum
flow rate.
Number of max. permissible pulses:

1.4 DISPLAY Different measured values can be selected for permanent or alternating display.
The reading on the display can be rotated.
1.4.1
MEAS’D VALUE Permanent display of flow in flow units
COUNTER Permanent display of totalizer
MV/COUNTER Alternating display of flow value in flow units and totalizer
MV&COUNTER Simultaneous display of flow value and totalizer
PERCENT Permanent display of flow value in percent
1.4.2 ROTATION

90° The reading on the display is rotated by 90°.
1.5 TIME CONST 0.0...20.0s
Given in seconds
The output variables (value of the current loop and indicated flow value) follow the current
process by the value set here (in seconds) with a time delay.
Note:
If the current flow is polled via HART® communication, the transferred measured value is
also played back with a delay.
1.6 RESET Local resetting of totalizer and acknowledgement of warnings.
There is always a safety prompt ("YES / NO"), to avoid accidental resetting.
Note:
External resetting of the totalizer can be installed with the binary input B3.
1.6.1 COUNTER Confirming with "YES" resets the value of the totalizer to 0.0.
1.6.2 ERROR Confirming with "YES" acknowledges all existing warnings.
Note:
Confirming with "YES" acknowledges existing errors and warnings.
1.6.3 RE-INIT IO As a general rule, data is transferred from the counter module to the ESK4 and vice versa
when the device starts. For safety, another data transmission can be performed by
selecting this menu item and confirming with "YES".

7.1 Maintenance
Within the scope of routine maintenance of the system and pipelines, the flowmeter should also
be inspected for signs of fouling, corrosion, mechanical wear and leaks, as well as damage to
the measuring tube and the indicator.
We advise that inspections are carried out at least once per year.
The device must be removed from the pipeline before cleaning.
CAUTION!
Pressurised pipes have to be depressurised before removing the device.
Empty the pipelines as completely as possible.
In the case of devices used for measuring aggressive or hazardous media, appropriate safety
precautions must be taken with regard to residual liquids in the measuring unit.
New gaskets have to be used when re-installing the device in the pipeline.
Avoid electrostatic charges when cleaning the surfaces (e.g. sight window).
7.2 Replacement and retrofitting

Some components of the variable area flowmeter can be retrofitted:
• Float damping
Indicator M40:
• Limit switch module K1 / K2
• Current output 4..20 mA ESK4A
• Counter module with LCD and I/O ESK4-T
• Fieldbus interface ESK4-PA / FF
7.2.1 Replacing floats

• Remove the device from the pipeline.
• Take the upper span ring out of the measuring unit.
• Take the upper float stop and float out of the measuring unit.
• Insert the new float into the centre hole of the lower float stop and push into the measuring
unit along with the upper float stop. While doing this, the float's upper guide rod must be
guided through the middle hole of the float stop.
• Insert the span ring into the measuring unit.
• Fit the device back into the pipeline.
CAUTION!
Without a recalibration an additional measuring error is to be expected.

H250 M40 SERVICE 7

7.2.4 Replacement - Retrofitting ESK4A

CAUTION!
When replacing or retrofitting an ESK4A, it is mandatory to indicate the serial number (SN) or
sales order (SO) when ordering.
This information can be found on the indicator nameplate.
The ESK4A is factory calibrated, making it possible to replace it or retrofit it without

recalibrating.
• De-energise the ESK4A.

• Lift and remove the ESK4A with a screwdriver.
WARNING!
Do not damage the indicating element!
Figure 7-3: Replacement - Retrofitting ESK4A
• The ESK4A plug-in tongues ① are plugged in under the two bolts ② on the base plate.
• Slight pressure is used to press the ESK4A onto the spring pins ③ until it stops, firmly
attaching the ESK4A.
If a change in measuring range, product temperature, product, density, viscosity or pressure is

desired, this can be done with the help of a variable area calculation program and with a HART®
modem.
However, each measuring unit is subject to its own physical limits, which the variable area
calculation program correctly calculates, and may thus reject the desired change.
If a change is performed using the program, the new data is also transmitted to the ESK4A:
• Device identification
• Device address
• Serial number
• Measuring point identifier
• Digital measured value query in flow units, % and mA
• Test / setting functions
• Calibration 4.00 and 20.00 mA
• Set current output to any desired value

7.2.5 Replacement - Retrofitting add-on module ESK4-T / PA / FF

The add-on module for the ESK4A can be replaced or retrofitted on-site without removing the
device from the process control.
• ESK4-T (Display module with LCD and I/O)

• ESK4-PA (Profibus PA interface)
• ESK4-FF (Foundation Fieldbus interface)
More detailed information can be found in the service manual included with each retrofit or
replacement set.

8 TECHNICAL DATA H250 M40
8.1 Functional principle

The H250 flowmeter operates in accordance with the float measuring principle. The measuring
unit consists of a metal cone in which a float can move freely up and down. The medium flows
through the flowmeter from bottom to top. The float adjusts itself so that the buoyancy force F1
acting on it, the form resistance F2 and its weight F3 are in equilibrium: F3 = F1 + F2
Figure 8-1: Measuring principle - general

1 Indication principle M40 magnetic coupling
2 Magnetic coupling sensors
① For the indicator, the flow-dependent height of the float in the measuring unit is transmitted
by means of a magnetic coupling and displayed on a scale.
② For a built-in signal converter (ESK4A), the flow-dependent height of the float in the
measuring unit is detected by the S1 and S2 magnetic field sensors and electronically
processed.
Figure 8-2: Measuring principle for H250H and H250U

1 H250H - horizontal flow direction
2 H250U - flow direction from top to bottom
The flowmeter operates in accordance with a modified float measuring principle.

The guided float adjusts itself so that the flow force acting on it is in equilibrium with the
opposing spring force. The flow-dependent position of the float in the measuring unit is
displayed on a scale by means of a magnetic coupling.

Reference point observation

The permissible product and ambient temperatures may be exceeded or undershot as long as
the permissible temperature range of the reference point of the display is not exceeded. The
following table contains the permissible maximum values at the reference point.
In this consideration, it should be noted:
• Reference point is the connection of the equipotential bonding conductor of the M40 indicator.
• The temperatures at the reference point are to be determined in the most unfavourable
operating situation.
• The measuring unit should be insulated properly.
