i
= When an electrical conductor of length L is moved at velocity v, perpendicular to the lines
of flux through a magnetic field of strength B, the voltage Ui is induced at the ends of the
conductor

Ui = k x v, the electrode signal is directly proportional to the fluid velocity
Coil current module generates a pulsating magnetizing current that drives the coils in the
sensor. The current is permanently monitored and corrected. Errors or cable faults are
registered by the self-monitoring circuit.
Input circuit amplifies the flow-proportional induced signal from the electrodes. The input
impedance is extremely high: >10
14
Ω which allows flow measurements on fluids with
conductivities as low as 5 μS/cm. Measuring errors due to cable capacitance are eliminated
due to active cable screening.
Digital signal processor converts the analog flow signal to a digital signal and suppresses
electrode noise through a digital filter. Inaccuracies in the transmitter as a result of long-term
drift and temperature drift are monitored and continuously compensated for via the self-
monitoring circuit. The analog to digital conversion takes place in an ultra low noise ASIC with
23 bit signal resolution. This has eliminated the need for range switching. The dynamic range
of the transmitter is therefore unsurpassed with a turn down ratio of minimum 3000:1.
