H250 M40

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 TIV floats (H250/RR and H250/HC only) with an operating primary pressure:

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. A turnbuckle ensures a proper fit. The eddy current brake can be retrofitted during
operation without recalibrating (refer to "Service").

Shutoff devices are preferably to be positioned upstream of the measuring device.
Before connecting, blow or flush out the pipes leading to the device.
Pipes for gas flow need to be dried before the device is installed.
Use connectors suitable for the particular device version.
Align the pipes centrically with the connection bores 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.

Power supply M40 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 extralow voltage (PELV) is recommended.

Power supply
INFORMATION!
The supply voltage has to be between 14 VDC and 30 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 together.
The required supply voltage can be calculated using the formula below:
Uext. = RL * 24 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 30 mA.

HART® communication
When HART® communication is carried out with the ESK4, 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 mA per device).

Load for HART® communication
INFORMATION!
For HART® communication a load of at least 230 Ω is required.
The maximum load resistance is calculated as follows:

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 ESK 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 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 ESK4 / ESK4A in order to guarantee function reliability. When an error is
detected, a failure signal (high) is activated (current > 21 mA, typically 22 mA) via the analogue
output. In addition more detailed information can be requested via HART® (CMD#48). The failure
signal is not activated for information and warnings.

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

For ESK4A (HART® 7) the diagnosis is reported in compliance with NE 107.

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.
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.

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.

In Fct. 1.1.2 a hysteresis can be specified additionally.

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.

Explanation

3.12 EDIT UNIT

User-defined unit with conversion to calibrated unit.

3.13 L.FL.CUTOFF

L.FL.CUTOFF stands for low flow cutoff.
To ensure a stable zero point of the current output, the current output can be set to a
stable value of "4.00mA" 3 in a selectable range.

3.13.1
CONTROL OFF

LFC function is not active.

CONTROL ON

L.FL.CUTOFF function is active.

3.13.2 LFC ON VAL

Switch-on value 1:
Value range 1…19% (of full scale range)
The flow is greater than the switch-on value. The current output corresponds to this.
If the flow rate falls, the current output follows until the switch-on value 1.
If the flow value continues to fall, the current output is switched to "4.00mA" 3.
Note:
The switch-on value to be set must be smaller than the previously selected switch-off
value.

3.13.3 OFF VALUE

Switch-off value 2:
Value range 2…20% (of full scale range)
The flow rate is 0. The current output is "4.00mA" 3.
If the flow rate increases, the current output remains at "4.00mA" until it has reached the
switch-off value 2.
Note:
The switch-off value to be set must be greater than the previously selected switch-on
value.

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

7.2.4 Replacement - Retrofitting ESK4 / ESK4A
CAUTION!
When replacing or retrofitting an ESK4 / 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 ESK4 / ESK4A is factory calibrated, making it possible to replace it or retrofit it without
recalibrating.
• De-energise the ESK4 / ESK4A.
• Lift and remove the ESK4 / ESK4A with a screwdriver.

WARNING!
Do not damage the indicating element!

• The ESK4 / ESK4A plug-in tongues 1 are plugged in under the two bolts 2 on the base plate.
• Slight pressure is used to press the ESK4 / ESK4A onto the spring pins 3 until it stops, firmly
attaching the ESK4 / 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 ESK4 / ESK4A:

TECHNICAL DATA 8

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 flow goes from
bottom to top. The float changes position so that the lifting force acting on it F1 is in equilibrium
with the form drag F2 and its weight F3: F3 = F1 + F2

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 (ESK4 / 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.

Operating principle of H250H and H250U

Figure 8-1: Operating principle 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.

INFORMATION!
The operating pressure should be at least double the pressure loss for liquids and five times for
gases. The indicated pressure losses are valid for water and air at maximum flow rate. Other
flow ranges on request. Conversion of other media or operating data is performed using the
calculation method in accordance with VDI/VDE directive 3513.
Reference condition for gas measurements:
Flow measurements for gases are attributed to
Nl/h or Nm3/h: Volume flow at standard (norm.) conditions 0°C - 1.013 bara (DIN 1343)
