IMPORTANT
Improper grounding may result in an adverse effect on
the flow measurement. Ensure that the instrument is
properly grounded.
The electromotive force of the magnetic flowmeter
is minute and it is easily affected by noise, and the
reference electric potential is the same as that of the
measuring fluid. Therefore, the reference electric
potential (terminal potential) of the sensor and transmitter
also need to be the same as that of the measuring fluid.
Moreover, the potential must be the same as the ground.
The magnetic flowmeter is equipped with an grounding
ring that makes a connection with the charge of the
measured fluid for grounding and protects the lining.
Grounding rings are supplied with the instruments when
specified with dedicated optional code.

Grounding Resistance: 10 Ω or less (Class C requirements)
Note:
When lightning protection performance by the built-in lightning
protectors is not required, grounding resistance 100 Ω or less
(Class D requirements) can be applied.

4.4.4 Connecting to External Instruments
WARNING
• Before wiring with external instruments, be sure to
turn off the power supply of the magnetic flowmeter.
• Be sure the power supply of the external
instruments is
turned off, and then start wiring.
Read Section 4.6 for connection to external instruments.
4.4.5 Wiring Procedures
(1) For Integral Flowmeter and AXW4A Remote
Transmitter
1) Removing the Cover
Loosen the cover locking screw (1 and 3) (See
Figure 4.4.5 and Figure 4.4.6) clockwise using a
hexagonal wrench (nominal size 3) to unlock the
cover. Upon shipment from the manufacturing
plant, the cover is unlocked. Hold the flowmeter
with your hand and remove the cover by turning it
in the direction of the arrow as shown below.
