Instrument installation environment requirements
1. Flowmeter should be installed in the indoor, if installed in the outdoor, there should be cover
above, in order to prevent rain invasion and the sun exposure and affect the service life of the
flowmeter (flow meter wiring shielding wire to make a u-shaped, finally into the case when the line
is from the bottom up, avoid rain along the road into the case);
2. The flow meter shall not be surrounded by strong external magnetic field interference, strong
electrical equipment, high-frequency equipment, and avoid sharing power with these equipment;
3. Do not share power with inverter, welding machine and other polluting power equipment, and
install purification power when necessary;
4. Avoid high temperature, cold, corrosive or extremely humid environment. If installation is
necessary, protection of flow meter must be done;
5. The flowmeter should not be installed on the pipe with strong vibration. If it must be installed, pipe fastening device should be installed at 2D upstream and downstream, and anti-vibration pad
should be added to enhance the anti-vibration effect.

6. Ample space should be left around the instrument installation point for installation wiring and
regular maintenance

Product description
The vortex flowmeter manual records how to use the product correctly and safely.Please read
this manual carefully before installation and debugging in order to prevent the instrument from being
damaged or unable to perform its best performance and ensure the stable operation of the instrument. Step 1: open the box inspection must read
1. Check the packing list to see whether the accessories are complete. 2. Appearance inspection to see if the instrument is complete and damaged due to
transportation;
3. Power test. If the battery is powered up, turn on the switch to check the display state of the
meter.4. Check whether the installation accessories are complete and prepare for installation. Step 2: read the installation steps
1. Choose an appropriate installation environment. The ambient temperature should be
-20-55℃, and the ambient humidity should be within the range of 5%-90%. See 6.1 installation
environment requirements for the instrument for details;
2. Welding the product accessories, instruments should not be online welding (flange clamping
instrument),Online welding may cause sensor thermal damage;
3. Purge the pipeline to ensure that there is no residual welding slag in the pipeline;
4. Install the instrument, pay attention to the direction sign of the instrument, prohibit reverse
installation, ensure that the front and rear straight pipe meet the requirements,See installation
requirements of instrument pipelines in 6.2 for details;
5. Open the front valve slowly to prevent air hammer or water hammer phenomenon from
hurting the instrument;
6. Pipeline pressure test and leak detection to ensure that the pipeline does not leak;
7. Air tightness test to ensure that the installation instrument meets the sealing requirements;
8. Slowly open the back end valve to ensure stable flow field of medium passing through;
9. Instrument for normal operation;
10. Intallation environment should avoid violent vibration, vibration environment will lead to
unstable flow or static flow.In the case of slight vibration, pipe fastening device can be installed at
the upstream and downstream 2D position, and soft connection can be installed at the connection
place with the fan and other equipment. 11. The installation diagram of vortex flowmeter is as follows:

density, the service life of more than 1 year；
7. Products high and low temperature adaptability, environmental protection and other advantages；
8. Wide measuring range, measuring range ratio up to 1:10-25；
9. Within a certain Reynolds number range, the output signal frequency is not affected by the
physical properties and component changes of the fluid, and the instrument coefficient is only
related to the shape and size of the vortex generator,There is no need to compensate when
measuring the volume flow rate of the fluid condition

Working principle
Vortex flowmeter is a speed-type flowmeter produced according to karman's vortex principle, which can be used for the measurement and metering of conventional gas, steam and liquid.Vortex
flow sensor has high precision and wide range ratio, no moving parts in use, which can improve
mechanical stability and reduce maintenance.Vortex flowmeter is almost not affected by the
temperature, pressure and composition of medium when measuring the volume of working condition. Therefore, it is convenient to calibrate the instrument, so vortex flow meter is widely used in
production and life.

Karman Vortex
Alternating and regular vortex rows are formed downstream of the vortex generator. Assume that the frequency of vortex occurrence is f, the average speed of the flow of the measured medium is V, and the width of the vortex generating body's upstream surface is d. According to the Karman vortex street principle, there is the following relationship:
f=StV/d formula (1)
In the formula:
f - Karman vortex frequency HZ generated on one side of the generating body
St-Strauhal number (dimensionless number)
V-Average flow velocity of fluid (m/s)
d-width of vortex generator (m)
It can be seen that the instantaneous flow rate can be calculated by measuring the Kaman vortex separation frequency. Among them, Strohal number (St) is a dimensionless unknown number,
The figure below shows the relationship between Strouhal number (St) and Reynolds number (Re).

Strouhal number and Reynolds number
In the straight part of St=0.17 in the curve table, the vortex release frequency is proportional to the flow rate, which is the measurement range of the vortex flow sensor. As long as the frequency f is detected, the flow rate of the fluid in the pipe can be obtained, and the volume flow rate can be obtained from the flow rate V. The ratio of the measured pulse number to the volume is called the instrument constant (K), see formula (2)
K=3600f/Q(1/m³) Formula (2)
In the formula: K=instrument constant (m-3).
f=number of pulses
Q=volume flow (m³)
