1Introduction

1.1 Scope of this manual

This manual covers general product information, installation and operating instructions and troubleshooting tips for the

ES-FLOW™ 1xxI digital volume flow meter/controller for liquids.

1.2 Intended use

The ES-FLOW™ 1xxI has been designed to accurately measure and control low volume flows with high precision and a

limited pressure drop. A wide range of liquids can be measured independent of fluid density, temperature and viscosity.

When ordered as a 3-A compliant instrument, the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI is suited for hygienic (food processing) applications and

Clean-in-place (CIP). The end user is responsible for the selection and application of suitable (FDA-compliant) sealing

materials.

The wetted materials incorporated in the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI are compatible with media and conditions (e.g. pressure,

temperature) as specified at ordering time. If you are planning to use the product (including any third party components

supplied by Bronkhorst, such as pumps or valves) with other media and/or other conditions, always check the wetted

materials (including seals) for compatibility. See the technical specifications of the product and consult third party

documentation (if applicable) to check the incorporated materials.

Responsibility for the use of the equipment with regard to its intended use, suitability for the intended application, cleaning

and compatibility of process media with the applied materials lies solely with the user.

The user is responsible for taking the necessary safety measures to prevent damage and/or injury while working with the

equipment and process media (as described in the associated Material Safety Data Sheets).

Where appropriate, this document recommends or prescribes safety measures to be taken with respect to media usage or

working with the described equipment under the specified conditions. However, this does not relieve the user of

aforementioned responsibility, not even if such is not explicitly recommended or prescribed in this document.

Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. cannot be held liable for any damage and/or injury resulting from unintended, improper or

unsafe use, or use with other media and/or under other process conditions than specified at ordering time.

1.3 Product description

The ES-FLOW™ 1xxI is a precise and compact volume flow meter with control function for liquids, based on a novel

ultrasonic technology.

Measuring principle

Measuring is done in a straight tube, without obstructions or dead spaces. Multiple transducers measure both the surface

acoustic wave and the transit time through the media. All up- and down-stream combinations are recorded and processed

in nanoseconds. The sound wave velocity and the surface area are recalculated to the volume flow value. This ultrasonic

measuring method is fast, accurate and inherently bi-directional.

Bronkhorst®

Instruction Manual ES-FLOW™ 1xxI 9.17.145I8

Application

The combination of a straight sensor tube with zero dead volume, self-drainability and hygienic connections, makes the ES-

FLOW™ especially suitable for hygienic applications. Examples of typical use are the measuring of food ingredients like

flavourings or syrups, or measuring concentrates in CIP units. For non-hygienic applications, the instrument can be

equipped with compression type fittings. Wetted parts are made of stainless steel, the housing has a high ingress

protection rating.

Operation

The ES-FLOW™ 1xxI can be operated with the integrated readout and control unit, as well as digitally, via RS-232 or fieldbus

(Modbus, FLOW-BUS, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, DeviceNet™ or CANopen), or in analog mode. The readout and control unit

has a capacitive touchscreen with a TFT display. The fluid temperature can be read out as a secondary output. An on-board

PID controller can be used to drive a control valve or pump, establishing a complete, compact control loop.

By default, the instrument is supplied with the readout and control unit above the measuring tube (assuming the flow

direction is to the right). If so required, the flow direction and display orientation can be customized to support a

convenient reading angle. The illustrations in this manual are based on the default orientation.

Multi-range

The ES-FLOW™ 1xxI offers multi-range functionality: factory calibrated ranges can be re-ranged to a different full scale

range. Because of the extremely high linearity of the sensor, this does not affect the original accuracy specifications.

The instrument comes with a calibration certificate for all supported full scale ranges. The actual full scale of the instrument

is set to a value as ordered.

1.5.1 Customized I/O options

ES-FLOW™ 1xxI instruments offer various customized input/output functions through pin 5 of the power connector and

through pin 2 of the actuator output connector as an option. I/O options are factory installed as specified at ordering time,

and cannot be changed manually.

The last 3 groups of the model key on the serial number label indicate the installed I/O configuration. The possible

configurations are described in the table below. See the hook-up diagram for custom bus and I/O configurations for an

explanation of the codes.

Code

Description

000

Disabled, pin 5 is pulled down to 0 Vdc (default selection)

A1V*

0…10 Vdc sourcing output, controller

Analog signal for pump or external valve steering (control signal only)

When the controller output is used for pump or external valve steering (mass flow meters only), make sure

to set parameter Valve maximum to 0.3 [A]. For mass flow controllers, the controller output is limited to a

value below 10Vdc, due to the maximum valve current restriction.

B1V*

4…20 mA sourcing output, controller

Analog signal for pump or external valve steering (control signal only).

When the controller output is used for pump or external valve steering (mass flow meters only), make sure

to set parameter Valve maximum to 0.3 [A]. For mass flow controllers, the controller output is limited to a

value below 20 mA, due to the maximum valve current restriction.

B2V*

3.8…20.8 mA sourcing output, controller

Analog signal for Badger Meter valve with TEIP11 signal converter (control signal only)

C3A

Digital output, min/max alarm

During a min/max alarm, pin 5 is pulled down to 0 Vdc.

C4A

Digital output, counter alarm

During a counter alarm, pin 5 is pulled down to 0 Vdc.

C5S

Digital output, enabled by setpoint (for shut-off control)

Pin 5 is pulled down to 0 Vdc at a controller setpoint, e.g. for shut-off valve activation.

For factory selected analog control (…-A#-C5S):

If parameter Control mode is set for analog control by factory, the minimum setpoint at which the device

(shut-off valve) connected to pin 5 is activated is 1.9%. This prevents possible noise on the analog input

activating the device accidentally.

For factory selected digital control (…-D#-C5S):

If parameter Control mode is set for digital control by factory, the setpoint threshold for activating the

device connected to pin 5 is any value > 0.

Note: If the instrument is forced into Valve Safe State, the digital output is not affected, so a (n.c.) shut-off

valve connected to pin 5 will not close when the (n.c.) controller is in Valve Safe State’

Make sure to use 24 Vdc power supply corresponding to the shut-off valve specifications.

C0I

Digital output, high/low switch via remote parameter (e.g. for shut-off valve control)

Pin 5 is pulled down to 0 Vdc when writing value 1 to parameter IO switch status, this is undone by writing

value 0.

A device connected to pin5 (e.g. a shut-off valve) can be activated/deactivated by writing parameter IO

switch status.

Note: If the instrument is forced into Valve Safe State, the digital output is also affected, so a (n.c.) shut-off

valve connected to pin 5 will be closed when the (n.c.) controller is in ‘Valve Safe State’.

Make sure to use 24 Vdc power supply corresponding to the shut-off valve specifications.

Bronkhorst®

Instruction Manual ES-FLOW™ 1xxI 9.17.145I12

Code

Description

D9E

Digital frequency output, measure

Measurement value is translated to a frequency within given frequency range.

The default frequency range to represent 0…100% flow is 0…10000 Hz. Any other frequency range must be

specified on order.

F9B

Digital pulse output, batch counter

Pin 5 is pulled down to 0Vdc when a given batch size is reached (during a given pulse length).

By default, a pulse is given at each 1x the Counter unit batch value, with a pulse length of 1 second. For

instance, when Counter unit is set to 'ln', a pulse is given each time 1 ln has passed through the instrument.

An alternative pulse length must be specified on order.

Provide a pull-up resistor of 5…10 kOhm to create 15…24 Vdc at pin 5 (according to the applicable hook-up

diagram).

I3C

Digital input, controller mode valve close

Valve closes when pin 5 is connected to 0 Vdc.

This option switches between the default Control mode and mode ‘Valve Close’ (value 3). When the default

Control mode is digital, the default value is 0 (bus/RS-232), when the default Control mode is analog, the

default value is 1 (Analog input).

I8C

Digital input, controller mode valve purge

Valve is fully opened when pin 5 is connected to 0 Vdc.

This option switches between the default Control mode and mode ‘Valve Fully Open’ (value 8). When the

default Control mode is digital, the default value is 0 (bus/RS-232), when the default Control mode is analog,

the default value is 1 (Analog input).

I1R

Digital input, reset counter

The counter resets when pin 5 is connected to 0 Vdc.

I2R

Digital input, reset alarm

The alarm resets when pin 5 is connected to 0 Vdc.

*) Notes regarding controller options:

A controller output option (A1V, B1V or B2V) can only be installed in combination with controller mode A or D

(controller enabled, see model key).

If the controller is enabled, the M8 connector can always be used to control a Bronkhorst® valve (through pin 3).

Although it is theoretically possible to have 3 controller options installed, no more than 1 signal should be used at any

time.

2Installation

This chapter describes the steps to take in order to prepare the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI for first time use.

2.1 Functional properties

Before installing the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI, check if the functional properties match your requirements.

The ES-FLOW™ Brochure provides general technical specifications, specific technical data can be

found on the serial number label and in the purchase oder.

Flow/pressure rate(s)

Media to be used in the instrument

Upstream and downstream pressure(s)

Ambient temperature

Input and output signal

Bronkhorst® instruments are pressure tested to 1.5 times the requested pressure rating and outboard leak tested to at least

2 * 10-9 mbar l/s Helium. The tested pressure is specified on the serial number label. If the serial number label is missing or if

the specified pressure is insufficient, the instrument must not be used and should be returned to the factory.

Before installation, make sure that the tested pressure is in accordance with the safety factor of your application. The tested

pressure must always be higher than the maximum operating pressure.

2.2 Mounting

2.2.1 Location in fluid system

Gas bubbles in the liquid can lead to measurement errors. In general, the

instrument should be mounted in a pipe segment where gas bubbles

cannot accumulate. The image to the right shows the preferable

mounting locations.

For hygienic applications some additional recommendations apply (see

further).

In general, the best location is a horizontal pipe segment or a segment where the fluid direction is upward.

Gas might accumulate in the horizontal segment if it is followed by a downward segment. Do not mount

the instrument in a location like this.

Mounting in a downward pipe segment with an open end is strongly dissuaded, especially if the pipe

diameter is 1/2" or more. Gravity might let the segment run empty; depending on the specific system

dimensions and the viscosity of the metered fluid, this effect might be stronger or weaker.

If the instrument is part of a closed fluid system, mounting the instrument in a downward pipe segment is

not preferable, but may be considered if other mounting locations are problematic.

To minimize the risk of gas inclusion by cavitation, the preferred location to install a control valve is downstream from the

instrument, the preferred location for a pump is upstream.

To prevent damage to the internal electronics, make sure the temperature inside the instrument housing does not get

above 60 °C. If necessary, take appropriate heat dissipation measures, especially if the instrument is operated inside an

enclosure (e.g. a control cabinet).

Bronkhorst®

Instruction Manual ES-FLOW™ 1xxI 9.17.145I14

2.2.2 Orientation

In hygienic applications, the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI should be mounted in such a way that it allows self-draining (see further).

To prevent liquid from pooling on the display surface, the instrument should not be mounted with the display surface

facing up.

Other than that, the instrument has no preferred mounting orientation.

Note that the connection between the measuring tube and the electronics housing is fixed; the housing

cannot be rotated to get a better view of the display. Its orientation can only be altered by

repositioning the entire instrument.

On models starting from MkII, the flow direction and display orientation can be adjusted at the

factory, for which the instrument has to be returned. Contact your Bronkhorst representative for more

information and arrangements.

2.2.3 Hygienic applications

In order to comply with the 3-A Sanitary Standards, the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI should be mounted in a location where its

exterior cannot come into direct contact with food substances and/or the product contact surfaces of their packaging

material.

To allow self-draining, mount the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI vertically or with a minimum inclination of 10°, with the normal flow

going upward (note the FLOW arrow on the instrument).

2.3 Fluid connections

The FLOW arrow on the measuring tube indicates the normal flow direction. For normal use, install the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI in

the process line, in accordance with the direction of the FLOW arrow. For bi-directional measuring, install the instrument in

the direction in which the highest flow will be measured (if applicable). When deciding which direction to install the

instrument in, take into account that the measuring range in the reverse direction is approximately 73% of the full scale

range (whereas the instrument can measure 131% FS in the normal direction).

Tighten fittings according to the instructions of their manufacturer.

Check the fluid system for leak tightness after any modification and before applying full operating pressure, especially when

using hazardous media (e.g. toxic or flammable).

Bronkhorst®

Instruction Manual ES-FLOW™ 1xxI9.17.145I 15

2.4 Electrical connections

The ES-FLOW™ 1xxI is equipped with one or more electrical connection ports. The image to

the right shows the locations of the different ports (the actual presence and appearance of

ports might be different, depending on the ordered fieldbus interface and instrument type):

1. Standard connection port, 8-pin M12 male

2. Connection port for actuator output, 4-pin M8 female

3. Fieldbus connection port, 5-pin M12 male/female (optional, fieldbus dependent)

4. Fieldbus connection port, 5-pin M12 male/female (optional, fieldbus dependent)

See sections Model key and Functional properties for configurable and installed options

respectively.

Upon delivery, all connection ports are capped. To maintain the original ingress protection rating, do not remove the caps

of unused connectors.

Electrical connections must be made with standard cables or according to the applicable hook-up diagram.

When using self-assembled cables, follow the guidelines provided by the connectors' manufacturer.

For use in a fieldbus system, follow the instructions of the cable supplier for the according fieldbus system.

Make sure that the power supply is suitable for the power ratings as indicated on the serial number label (see model key)

or in the technical specifications, and that double or reinforced insulation is used for the power supply.

Before powering up, make sure all required cabling is properly connected.

Before each use, inspect cabling and connectors for damage.

Never power the instrument simultaneously from two different power sources (e.g. fieldbus and Plug-in Power Supply).

Doing so will irreversibly damage the printed circuit board and the instrument will have to be repaired before it can be

used.

In order to be able to comply with all applicable guidelines and regulations, it is essential that electrical connections be

made by or under supervision of a qualified electrician.

The equipment described in this document contains electronic components that are susceptible to electrostatic

discharge.

When working on the electrical installation, take appropriate measures to prevent damage as a result of electrostatic

discharge.

The CE mark on the equipment indicates that it complies with requirements imposed by the European Union, including

electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

EMC can only be guaranteed by applying appropriate cables and connectors or gland assemblies:

Cable wire diameters must be sufficient to carry the supply current and minimize voltage loss.

When connecting the product to other devices, ensure that the integrity of the shielding remains uncompromised; use

shielded cables and connectors where possible and/or required.

Preferably use the supplied cables (if applicable) to make electrical (signal) connections to and between the supplied

components. These cables are shielded, have the required wire diameter, and loose ends (if applicable) are marked to

facilitate correct connection.

If not all requirements for proper shielding can be met (for example, because a component is not equipped with shielded

connectors), take the following measures to ensure the best possible shielding:

Keep cable lengths at a minimum.

Route cables as closely as possible alongside metal structures or components.

Ensure all electrical components are grounded to earth.

When in doubt about the shielding of your cabling and/or electrical connections, contact your Bronkhorst representative.

2.5 Communication interface

Check if the default network settings match the configuration of the fieldbus system (if applicable). If necessary, the default

settings can be overruled by changing the appropriate parameters (see Network configuration).

3.1 Powering up and powering down

To maintain control of the fluid system and ensure a safe situation, it is recommended to turn on power before applying

fluid pressure and to switch off power only after the fluid system is depressurized.

When pressurizing, prevent pressure shocks by gradually bringing the fluid system to the required operating pressure.

3.2 First use

Bronkhorst does the utmost to ensure that you receive a clean product.This does not, however, relieve the end user of the

responsibility to ensure that the instrument and the system in which it is incorporated meet (hygiene) requirements that

apply to the intended use of the instrument. The responsibility for cleaning the equipment to meet such requirements lies

exclusively with the end user.

Before starting measurement and control, make sure to remove gas from the fluid system by flushing all fluid lines with the

process fluid at a high flow rate.

For instruments with a control function, the highest possible flow rate is ensured by giving setpoint = 100% or using special

Control mode = 8 (valve fully open). Control mode 8 bypasses the PID controller, which is particularly useful when having

the ES-FLOW™ 1xxI set to a low capacity flow range.

3.3.1 Main screen functions

3.3.1.1 Unlocking buttons

The switch lock function prevents accidental activation of the user interface (.e.g. by cleaning the instrument and/or its

environment with a hose or high-pressure cleaner). The lock is activated after a period of inactivity (lock time; 60 seconds by

default), after which the individual tip buttons are disabled. The buttons can be unlocked by pressing and holding and

for a couple of seconds (unlock time; default: 4 seconds).

The switch lock properties can be edited in the Settings menu.

3.3.1.2 Selecting display information

The Custom readout 2 area can show different parameters.

Depending on the instrument type, the following parameters

may be available (editable parameters are marked with an *):

To change the displayed parameter, press from the main

screen. Cycle through the available parameters by pressing

the button repeatedly.

3.3.1.3 Selecting screen area

Depending on the instrument type and the settings of the

readout and control unit, none, one or both of the custom
