1 General information on the water meter
All properties of this water meter, whether mentioned or not, shall not be in conflict
with the legislation.
1.1 Essential Parts
1.1.1 Measurement Sensor
The inside of the cylindrical measuring tube is provided with a rectangular-like flow
profile. The internal flow sensor is covered with an insulating liner. Through the liner, the
3 electrodes are in contact with the liquid. The flow sensor is equipped with 2 magnetic
coils.
1.1.2 Signal Converter
1.1.2.1 Essential parts of the Signal Converter
- Back plane
Used for all internal connections inside the Signal Converter.
- Sensor board
• Driving the magnetic coils inside the measurement sensor, and checks the current
required for the coils.
• Measures the induced voltage and processes the induced voltage to flow speed,
flow rate, etc. Also validates the voltage sensing circuitry.
• Communicates with the other modules through the internal data-bus (GDC-bus).
- Display module with optical keys
• Displays all measurement values. The values presented and the format is
programmable. The settings are secured with the "Weights and Measure" (W&M)
jumper.
• Read the 4 optical keys. These keys can be used for: paging through the
3 measurement pages, setting and changing of parameter via a menu system.
• GDC master
The GDC master controls all data traffic over the GDC-bus. If the master fails,
measurements are not possible.
All data communication over the GDC-bus is protected through CRC16 checksums.
• GDC-bus port
Used for the Weights and Measures jumper. This locks all weights and measures
parameters against changing.
- Power supply
Available are:
• 100 - 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
• 12 - 24VDC
• 24 V AC/DC
- Output boards
The output board(s) installed determine the possible outputs available. Possible are:
• Basic 10 Module (IFC300F type CG300xx100)
This board has the following outputs: Current Output including digital Hart®
protocol, Status output or Control input, Status output and single channel pulse
output.

• EXI 10 Module (IFC300F type CG300xxAB0)
This module has a basic layout. Depending on the required functionality, certain
components are placed on the board. Possible are:
■ A= 2: Current output (active) with Hart' protocol and pulse output (passive)
■ A= 3: Current output (passive) with Hart® protocol and pulse output (passive)
■ B = 2: Current output (passive) and pulse output (passive)/Control input
• Modular 10 (IFC300F type CG300xx4AB)
This is a modular 10 board, providing:
■ Current output (active) with Hart® protocol and a pulse output (active).
■ 2 places for modules (indicated with A and B) for extra outputs:
A, B = 8: No module placed.
• A, B = C: Pulse output (active) or Current Output (active) for each module
Remarks: The Hart' protocol is superimposed on the DC current signal and enables
the water meter to communicate with other equipment.
If pulses are used for the transmission of the measured volume to other
equipment, the use of two pulse channels (also called double pulses) is
mandatory. Both pulse channels must be shifted in phase.
1.1.2.2 Essential shapes of the Signal Converter
- Housing
The housing of the Signal Converter consists of:
• Metallic housing (compact and remote version).
Optionally the housing is explosion proof.
• Plastic housing for wall mounting (only possible for the remote version).

- The signal converter is either directly mounted on the measurement sensor (compact
version) or is mounted separately from the measurement sensor (remote version)
- The measurement sensor and the signal converter form a matched set. The exact
physical properties of the measurement sensor are pre programmed into the signal
converter.
- Working principle
The magnetic field, generated through the 2 magnetic coils, induces a voltage across
the flowing (conductive) liquid (Faraday's law for conductors moving through a
magnetic field).
This induced voltage is measured with the 2 electrodes and is directly proportional to
the flow speed. By taking into account the pipe dimensions the flow rate can be
calculated, displayed and outputted. By integrating over time the total measured
volume can be calculated and displayed.
The validity of the program and the parameters is continuously checked. If these
checks fail an alarm is generated.
1.2.2 Bi-directional flow
The sensor can be used to measure flow in forward and reverse directions. See also the
conditions as stated in chapter 3.
1.2.3 Operation and presentation of legal data
The meter is standard equipped with an electronic display and can be operated using the
infrared keys on the display module. The operation is further described in Chapter 6 of
the IFC300 handbook.
The measured volume is presented by means of an electronic display
The display settings are as follows:

- 10 bar(g) for sizes DN250 and larger.
1.3 Essential Shapes
1.3.1 Markings:
- The markings have to fulfil the requirements stated in the legislation.
- The data plate is fixed to the water meter and secured against removal by sealing or
will be destroyed when removed.
- For the remote version:

• The serial number of the signal converter is mentioned on the measurement sensor
and/or
The serial number of the measurement sensor is mentioned on the signal converter.
1.3.2 Inlet pipe and outlet pipe
Minimum straight inlet pipe: 0 D
Minimum straight outlet pipe: 0 D
1.4 Conditional shapes
- Cylindrical pipe with a rectangular-like flow profile
The cylindrical pipe and the internal rectangular like flow cross-section profile are
constructed so that the combination of material and wall thickness is such that the
influence due to changing liquid pressure is negligible.
2 Seals
The following seals are applied:
- The data plate is fixed to the water meter and secured against removal by sealing or
will be destroyed when removed;
- The cover of the display of the signal converter against opening. Before sealing the
"Weights and Measures jumper" is placed on the GDC-bus of the display of the signal
converter. This jumper prohibits the changing of the Weights and Measures
parameters.
3 Conditions for Approval
- Bi-directional flow measurement
During conformity assessment it is sufficient to verify a bi-directional meter only in
one direction.
