LF470/LF612
1/10",1/6”,1/4" (2.5,4,6mm )
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 electrods and are
applicable to almost any kind of fluids. The LF470 is a
lightweight palm-sized detector.Combined with
multi-functional converter LF612 (separate type) and
LF232*1 (separate type) equipped with its patented
Noise-Sentry original 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 be rotated to 90, 180
and 270 degrees without opening the cover

*3: 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 the fieldbus
which digitizes all signals. Flowmeters support
PROFIBUS-PA.

ꢀ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) Connect the following two cables correctly:
1) signal cable (on the right facing the LF470)
2) excitation cable (on the left facing the LF470)
(2) Do not bend apply excessive force to these cables.
ꢀPiping Precautions
• Where high temperature or high humidity conditions
exist.
(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
fluid is flowing or not.
• 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.
(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.
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.
ꢀMeter size
(2) Where smoke and steam may occur.
To select the meter size:
See Table 3 to 4 and find meter sizes within the
velocity of 0.3 to 32.8 ft/s (0.1 to 10m/s) for a
specified full-scale (measuring range high limit)
flow. Select one that has its full-scale velocity
between 3.0 and 10 ft/s (1 and 3m/s).
Note: Make sure the full-scale flow rate used for the final
planning stage stays within 32.8 ft/s (10m/s) in
terms of flow velocity.
(3) Where exposed to direct snow, ice or mud.
Ordering Information
1. When ordering the LF470 flowmeters, refer to
Tables 4 to 5 (Specification Code).
An entry must be made for each of the columns in
each of these tables.
