Field Intelligent Device Series  
Electromagnetic Flowmeter Converter  
LF232  
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 LF232 offers various outputs such as totalization  
output and multi-range selection outputs. With it  
patented Noise-Sentry original noise-suppression  
circuit and advanced algorithms. The LF232 is highly  
resistant to noise and provides a stable output even  
when measuring fluids contain slurries. TheLF232 can  
be used with a separately mounted detector such as the  
LF150 or LF470. The LF232 can also be used with  
conventional models of detectors.

Accuracy: the accuracy is dependent on the type of  
detector combined with the LF232. See the following  
tables for accuracy when combined with specified  
detectors.  
The AF900 hand-held terminal (HART*1  
communicator) can be used to communicate with the  
flowmeter from a remote place. See the  
Communications signal specification for details about  
HART protocol.  
*1: HART protocol (Highway Addressable Remote  
Transducer) is a communication protocol for industrial  
sensors recommended by the HCF (HART  
Communication Foundation).

2 units can be selected from the flowing units: flow  
velocity, instantaneous flow rate, total flow  
(forward/reverse/difference flow), total count, %,  
custom unit.  
Note: If the flowmeter is intended to be used in a  
location where vibration is applied  
constantly contact Toshiba.  
Dimension and Weights:  
Parameter settings—Parameters can be set as follows  
IR Switches: Various parameters can be set without  
opening the converter housing using 4 infrared  
switches (password can be set)

started by pressing the switch in the converter.  
Digital communication: The AF 900 hand-held  
terminal is needed to set parameters.

Wiring Precautions  
About establishment environment  
Do not store or install the flowmeter:  
• Where there is direct sunlight.  
• Where excessive vibration or mechanical shock  
occurs.  
(1)Be sure to use thick walled steel conduit (22mm)  
for signal and excitation cable wiring between the  
detector and converter. Use flexible conduit at the  
cable outlets of the detector and converter.  
(2) Connect the grounding wire (IV wire 5.5mm² or  
more) to a good earth ground (100or less ground  
resistance). Make the wire as short as possible. Do  
not use a common ground shared with other  
equipment where earth current may flow. An  
independent earth ground is recommended.  
(3) The allowable cable lengths between the detector  
and converter for the separate type flowmeter  
depend on the electrical conductivity of the object  
fluid. See Figure 4 below.  
• Where high temperature or high humidity  
conditions exist.  
• Places where corrosive atmospheres exist.  
• Places submerged under water.  
• Place where there is sloped floor. To put the  
flowmeter temporarily on the floor, place it  
carefully with something, such as stopper, to  
support it so that the flowmeter will not topple over.  
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.)  
(1) Where unit (operation panel) is exposed to direct  
sunlight, reflection of light onto window pane and  
diffused light reflection.  
(4) Digital output 1, digital output 2 to 4 , digital output  
1 to 2 are insulated mutually.  
(2) Where smoke and steam may occur.  
(3) Where exposed to direct snow, ice or mud.
