Field Intelligent Device Series
Electromagnetic Flowmeter
Introduction
The electromagnetic flowmeter uses Faraday’s Law of
electromagnetic induction to measure the process flow.
The device consists of two units: a detector, through
which the fluid to be measured flows and in which
low-level signals proportional to flow rates are
obtained; and a converter, which supplies excitation
current to the detector, and amplifies the signals from
the detector and then processes and converts the
signals into the 4–20 mA dc current signal. The LF470
is a small meter size detector designed to measure a
small amount of fluids containing substances such as
chemicals.

The wetted materials for the LF470 are corrosion
resistant ceramic and platinum electrodes and are
applicable to almost any kind of fluids. The LF470 is a
lightweight palm-sized detector.
Combining with a LF622 multifunctional converter
which has an improved noise-suppression circuit and
advanced algorithms. The LF470 is highly resistant to
noise and provides a stable output even for fluids
containing slurries. IR (Infrared) switches enable
parameter setting of the converter without removing
the cover. Flow direction can be set in either way, and
its unique 128 x 128 dot matrix LCD display allows
the LCD to be rotated electronically to 90, 180 and 270
degrees without opening the cover

*1: HARTprotocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a
communication protocol for industrial sensors recommended by the
HCF (HARTCommunication Foundation).
Note: The accuracy is measured under standard
operating conditions at Toshiba's calibration facility.
*2: PROFIBUS is the communication protocol for factory and process
automation that the PROFIBUS Organization recommends. Instead of
analog control with a conventional analog signal (4-20mA), it is
fieldbus which digitizes all signals. Flowmeters support
PROFIBUS-PA.

fluid is flowing or not.
(3) The fluid to be measured must be held still in the
pipe when the LF470 is being adjusted. If the fluid
can not be stopped after the LF470 installation,
install a bypass pipe in parallel with the LF470
flowmeter.
ꢀWiring Precautions
(1) Connect the following two cables correctly:
1) signal cable (on the right facing the LF470)
2) excitation cable (on the left facing the LF470)
See figure3.
(2) Do not bend apply excessive force to these cables.
(3) DO1, DO2 (opt.), and DI (opt.) use the same
common terminal (COM). This COM can not
connect to other equipments which have their
own ground terminal. (Power supply for
connecting to DI or DO, etc…) Need to wire
separately.
ꢀMeter size
To select the meter size:
See Table 1 to 2 and find meter sizes within the
velocity of 0.1 to 10m/s (0.3 to 32.8 ft/s) for a
specified full-scale (measuring range high limit)
flow. Select one that has its full-scale velocity
between 1 and 3m/s (3.0 and 10 ft/s).
ꢀ Wiring Precautions (PROFIBUS or Modbus)
Note: Make sure the full-scale flow rate used for the
final planning stage stays within 10m/s (32.8 ft/s)
in terms of flow velocity.
(1) For wiring path, avoid places near electrical
equipment that may cause electromagnetic
induction or electrostatic induction interference
(such as a motor, transformer and wireless
transmitter).
(2) Use a PROFIBUS-PA cable or a RS485 twist-pair
cable for signal cable. In addition, make sure to
use a shielded cable to improve noise resistance.
Furthermore, installation of signal cable in metal
conduit is recommended.

(3) General cables are designed for indoor use where
cables are not exposed to humidity, rain, etc.
When you install cables, make sure to check the
operating conditions such as the operating
temperature range of the cable by contacting its
manufacturer.
(4) When you carry out cable end treatment of cable,
use a dedicated cable stripper etc. so that the core
wire of the cable will not be nicked or damaged.
In addition, for cables, be careful of allowable
maximum bend diameter etc. (Basically, do not
install cables in a way cables are twisted or bent.).

ꢀAbout establishment environment
Do not store or install the flowmeter:
• Where there is direct sunlight.
• Where excessive vibration or mechanical shock
occurs.
(5) Consider installing a PROFIBUS-PA arrester in
the communication path of PROFBUS-PA so that
the electromagnetic flowmeter will not be affected
by lightning etc.
• Where high temperature or high humidity
conditions exist.
(6) The electromagnetic flowmeter is not equipped
with terminating resistors. Use the terminating
resistor unit for PROFIBUS-PA or junction box,
if necessary.
(7) Only one PROFIBUS-PA cable goes through a
cable gland of the Electromagnetic Flowmeter.
Please use the junction box at system
configuration.
• Where corrosive atmospheres exist.
• Places that can be submerged under water.
• Where there is a sloped floor. To put the flowmeter
temporarily on the floor, place it carefully with
something, such as a block, to support it so that the
flowmeter will not topple over.
(8) Install a terminator to flowmeter that connected to
end of Modbus network.
In areas like the following, there may be the case that
infrared switches do not function correctly. (If these
are unavoidable, use an appropriate cover.)
ꢀPiping Precautions
(1) Where unit (operation panel) is exposed to direct
sunlight, reflection of light onto window pane and
diffused light reflection.
(1) Connect the fluid pipe to the pipe connection port
using a joint that matches the Rc (PT) female
screw. Use seal tapes when connecting the pipe to
the port to prevent a fluid leakage. Do not tighten
the connection screw too much.
(2) Design piping so that the detector’s pipe is always
filled with the fluid to be measured, whether the
(2) Where smoke and steam may occur.
(3) Where exposed to direct snow, ice or mud.
