Model TA1
®
Instruction Manual and Parts List
The advanced microprocessor provides accurate temperature compensation as the process temperature changes.
Each instrument is factory calibrated in a NIST flow standard
to provide highest level of accuracy. The electronics permit
the user to configure the instrument for the pipe or duct size,
zero and span, units of measurement, alarms, and other user
specific requirements.
The instrument provides two 4–20 mA output signals; one for
flow measurement, and one for temperature. Each 4–20 signal can be configured from the instrument.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The flow element of the TA1 Mass Flow Transmitter
utilizes a heater and two resistant temperature detectors
(RTDs). The heater and the active RTD are contained in one
sensor; the second sensor contains the reference RTD and a
mass balancing element.
The reference RTD measures the temperature of the process
where the flow element is installed. A constant power is provided to the heated sensor. The active RTD measures the
temperature of the heated sensor. The electronics measures
the temperature difference between the active and reference
RTD.

DESCRIPTION
The Thermatel Mass Flow Transmitter Model TA1 provides
high performance measurement of the mass flow of air and
other gases. Using a heated sensor, the mass flow is determined by accurately measuring the temperature difference
between the heated sensor and the reference sensor. Heat
transfer is due to the mass of the gas flowing past the sensor providing a measurement of the mass flow rate.
There is an inherent non-linear relationship between the temperature difference and the mass flow rate. The microprocessor-based electronics convert the temperature difference signal to provide a linear measurement of the mass flow
rate. The electronics also provide advanced temperature
compensation which automatically adjusts the flow measurements for changes in process temperature.
The 4–20 mA output signal can be adjusted to provide maximum resolution of flow measurement over the desired range
of the instrument. A separate 4–20 mA signal provides an
output signal of the process temperature. Both 4–20 mA signals can be wired for either active or passive operation. Refer
to wiring section, pages 4 and 5.
Optional relays provide low or high flow alarm indication and
can be used for diagnostics.
UNPACKING
Unpack the instrument carefully, making sure all components
have been removed from the packing material. Inspect all
components for damage, and report any concealed damage
to the carrier within 24 hours. Check the contents of the carton, making sure it agrees with the packing slip and the purchase order. Verify that the model number imprinted on the
nameplate matches the number on the packing slip and the
purchase order. Report any discrepancies to the factory.
Check and record the serial number for future reference
when ordering parts.

INSTALLATION
Arrows are etched on the sides of the probe to designate
flow direction. The instrument is calibrated with the flow in
this direction. Ensure that the flow arrows are oriented in the
direction of flow. Refer to Figure 4.
CAUTION: The probe and electronics are calibrated
and shipped as a matched set. The model number is
indicated on both the electronics nameplate and the
probe housing nameplate; verify that they are the same.
It is generally recommended that the sensor be located in
the center of the pipe. This location provides less sensitivity
to changes in flow profile. The probe’s length should be
specified to position the sensor in the desired location.
Sensors mounted through compression fittings have the
ability to field adjust the sensor to the desired location by
using the dimensions as shown in Figure 4.
NOTE: The instrument is rated per IEC 1010 for use in
Installation Category II, Pollution Degree 2.
ELECTRONICS
Various methods of mounting the probe are available, including compression fittings, threaded, and flanged connections.
Refer to probe model numbers.
The electronics are rated for use in Class I, Division 2 areas.
The enclosure is also rated NEMA 4X.
The remote electronics should be installed in an easy to
access location within 250 feet of the sensor location. The
electronics should not be installed in areas where ambient
temperature exceeds +160° F (+70° C). If ambient temperatures are less than -4° F (-20° C), then the optional heater is
recommended. Provide watertight seals for all wiring
entrances in the enclosure to maintain the NEMA 4X rating.
The insertion probe can be installed through a compression
fitting. The use of a bored-through fitting for 3⁄4" outside diameter tube is recommended.
Pressure ratings of the compression fitting are:
Stainless steel ferrules 1500 psig at 70° F
1375 psig at 400° F
Mount the enclosure to a wall or flat surface using the appropriate screws or bolts. The mounting tabs on the back of the
enclosure may be rotated to the sides or top and bottom to
facilitate mounting. Refer to Figure 15.
Teflon ferrules
100 psig
NOTE: The sensor must be installed in a location where
moisture cannot drip or come in contact with the heated element. Any contact with condensed moisture in the gas flow
will cause a false high flow indication.
NOTE: A switch or circuit breaker shall be installed in close
proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the
operator. It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for
the equipment.
FLOW BLOCKAGE
The TA1 Mass Flow Transmitter measures the velocity flowing past the sensor, and then determines the flow rate by
multiplying the area by the velocity. The probe blocks a portion of the pipe reducing the effective cross sectional area of
the pipe and creating a higher velocity. The TA1 compensates for this error by correcting the measured flow by the
probe blockage.
PROBE
The probe enclosure is rated explosion proof for Class I,
Division 1 service. The enclosure is also rated NEMA 4X. Use
appropriate NEC section when installing the instrument.
Proper installation of the probe in the pipe or duct is essential for accurate flow measurement. Normal procedures for
installing any type of flow element should be followed. Refer
to Magnetrol bulletin 54-131 (STI bulletin 95-165) for additional information on probe location.
NOTE: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by
manufacturer, protection provided by equipment may be
impaired.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) HANDLING PROCEDURE
Magnetrol’s electronic instruments are manufactured to the
highest quality standards. These instruments utilize electronic components which may be damaged by static electricity
present in most work environments. The following steps are
recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to
electrostatic discharge:
2. Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing circuit boards. A grounded workstation is also recommended.
1. Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an
anti-static bag is not available, wrap board in aluminum
foil. Do not place boards on foam packing materials.
4. Ensure that all electrical connections are completely
made and none are partial or floating. Ground all
equipment to a good earth ground.
3. Handle printed circuit boards only by the edges. Do not
touch components or connector pins.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION cont.
DEFINITIONS
TAG LINE
The following symbols and definitions are used in the software configuration:
Initially the tag line on the display reads “Magnetrol Int’l”.
This can be changed from the advanced configuration section of the software.
Calibration factor: Changes in flow profile will affect the
measurements of the TA1. Advanced users have the
ability to adjust the measurements for changes in flow
profile using a multi-function polynomial relationship in
the form of:
Corrected flow = a+bx+cx2+dx3+ex4
The default is b = 1; and a, c, d, and e = 0. To use the
correction factor, develop a relationship between the
flow measured by the TA1 and the flow measured by a
second flowmeter. Curve fit the fifth order polynomial
(above) using the output of the TA1 for X (units of SFPM)
and the output of the second flowmeter for corrected
flow. Then enter the appropriate values in the Advanced
Configuration menu, page 19.
The cursor appears in the left position. To change the position at that location, use the or arrow keys. Pressing the
key will start scrolling the characters; pressing the a
second time causes a faster scroll. To stop scrolling, press
any key. To move to the next position, press the ENT key; to
return to the previous position, press the DEL key.
Pressing the ENT key moves the cursor to the right. When it
reaches the rightmost position, pressing the ENT key one
additional time exits and saves changes (password protected).
Pressing the DEL key moves the cursor to the left. When it
reaches the leftmost position, pressing the DEL key exits the
menu and restores the previous tag line.
Mass flow: Measured in various units, typically LB/Hr or
KG/Hr. An input of the cross sectional area of the pipe or
duct is required.
STP conditions: The mass flow rate is based on a given
set of Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) conditions. Magnetrol uses default of 70° F and one (1) atmosphere for STP conditions. The STP conditions may be
modified to match the user’s standards. If the STP conditions are modified, the TA1 will recalculate the flow
rates at the specified STP conditions.
The advanced configuration menu permits the user to
enter any desired temperature and cycle between selection of one (1) bar or one (1) atmosphere of pressure.
Totalized flow: Provides a measurement of the total flow
in units specified.
Velocity: Measured in SF/M (standard feet per minute) or
NM/M (normal meters per minute). This is the mass
velocity directly measured by the instrument referenced
to the appropriate standard conditions.
Volume flow: Measured in various units, typically SCFM
(standard cubic feet per minute) or NCMH (normal cubic
meters per hour), referenced to standard conditions. An
input of the cross sectional area of the pipe or duct is
required to obtain this value.

Relay 1 can be configured as a fault relay. If the instrument’s diagnostics detect any failure, or the instrument does not pass
self-test, the fault relay will de-energize. Optionally, Relay 1 can be setup for regular relay operation. Relays can be controlled
by velocity, flow, mass, temperature, or totalizer.
The relays can be configured so that there is some hysteresis between alarm set point and alarm reset points.This is accomplished by entering different values for the relay alarm set and alarm reset points.
Fail-safe condition of the relay is set via the software, such that the relay is either de-energized (DNRG) when actual conditions are less than set point, or de-energized when the actual conditions are greater than the set point. Refer to Figures 11.

Totalizer
The totalizer in the TA1 maintains a continuous, running total of the flow in selectable units. The totalizer utilizes eeprom memory, eliminating the need for a battery backup. The totalizer can be reset to zero via the software configuration menu or by the
Modbus communication.
The totalizer displays the totalized flow or mass with up to eight significant digits. As the total increases, the decimal point will
move to always display the largest eight significant digits. After the total exceeds eight significant digits, the totalizer will display the total in scientific notation.
The totalizer must be enabled from the Totalizer section of the I/O Configuration menu. In the event of a power failure, the
totalizer will typically loose less than one minute of data.

DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
RS-485/MODBUS PROTOCOL
INTRODUCTION
This section of the manual provides basic information on
Modbus communication with the TA1 Thermal Mass Flow
Transmitter. It is assumed for this manual that the user has a
working knowledge of Modbus communication and
RS-485 wiring practice.
performed. Other characteristics are user selectable. These
are transmission medium and transmission mode, RTU or
ASCII. The user characteristics are set at each device and
the configuration cannot be changed when the system is
running.
IMPLEMENTATION
TRANSMISSION MEDIUM
Magnetrol provides this guide to explain the operation of the
Modbus protocol per Modicon® document PI-MBUS-300.
The Modbus protocol provides frames for the transmission
of messages between master and slaves.
The transmission medium selected for Magnetrol devices is
RS-485. The RS-485 standard is the most versatile of the
EIA interface standards. RS-485 permits multi-drop network
connections on two wires and provides reliable serial data
communication for:
Magnetrol implementation of the Modbus protocol provides
for the passing of measured and calculated variables and
diagnostics in data registers. Data is set in these registers as
integer values, status summary words (packed bits), or individual flags (single bits). The information in the message is
the address of the intended device, what the device must
do, the data needed to perform the action, and a means of
checking errors. The slave reads the message, and, if there
is no error, it performs the task and sends a response back
to the master.
The information in the response message is the slave
address, the action performed, the result of the action and a
means of checking errors. Certain characteristics of the
Modbus protocol are fixed, such as frame format, frame
sequences (synchronization), handling of communications
errors and exception conditions, and the functions
20
• Distances up to 5000 feet
• Data rates up to 9600 bps
• 31 slave devices
• 1 master device
One master and up to 31 slave devices may be multidropped on a single RS-485 communication bus.
TRANSMISSION MODE
Modbus provides two types of formats, Modbus RTU and
Modbus ASCII. Magnetrol devices support the Remote
Terminal Unit (RTU) mode of transmission. RTU provides
improved error detection capabilities and higher throughput
than the ASCII mode.
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION RS-485/MODBUS PROTOCOL (cont.)
CONFIGURATION
WIRING
The Modbus port on the Magnetrol device must be configured to establish communications. The keypad allows the
user to set the Magnetrol device RS-485/Modbus port to
match the RS-485/Modbus master. The address, baud rate,
and parity must be configured through the keypad.
Standard Belden 8451 shielded, twisted pair, 22-gauge
stranded conductors may be used for interconnection of
units.
Magnetrol device addresses provide unique identification for
each device. This address may range from 1 to 247 and must
be unique. Each Magnetrol device only responds when a poll
has been sent to its unique address by the master.
The RS-485 port of each device must be configured for a
transmission speed (baud rate) to match the master’s transmission speed. Selectable values are 1200, 2400, 4800, or
9600 bits per second.
The RS-485 port of each device must be configured for a
parity check bit that matches the master. Selectable options
are odd, even, and none.
FUNCTIONS
Each request frame contains a function code that defines the
action expected of the target device. The meaning of the
request data fields is dependent on the function code specified.

(XXX = cable length in feet)
Example: 009-7146-050 = 50 feet of cable
(10 feet minimum (3 m), 5000 feet maximum (1524 m)
The preferred method of wiring is that all units be wired in
parallel, refer to Figure 12. It is permissible to have branches,not exceeding five feet from the main wiring trunk as
shown in diagram. One master with a maximum of 31 slave
devices is allowable.
Connect terminal A from the master device to terminal A on
all slave devices.
Connect terminal B from the master device to terminal B on
all slave devices.
Connect shielding from ground of master to ground on all
slave devices.
NOTE: Polarity among units in loop must be observed.
The master device and the last (farthest) slave device in the
loop must have a termination resistor. This resistor is provided in the Model TA1 by jumper placement of JP1, refer to
Figure 9 (page 5).
All slave devices in the loop, except the last (farthest) slave
device, should have jumper JP1 in the “C” position for continuing. The last (farthest) slave device should have the
jumper in the “T” position.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Depending upon the application, the sensor may require
periodic cleaning. A buildup on the sensor will reduce the
heat transfer, resulting in flow readings lower than expected.
The frequency of cleaning is dependent upon the application.
22
Cleaning Procedure:
1. Remove probe from pipe/duct.
2. Wipe sensor tips with a clean cloth; if necessary, solvent may be used.
3. When sensors are clean, reinstall probe into pipe/duct.

GLOSSARY
Atmospheric pressure: Average pressure at sea level.
One atmosphere pressure is equal to 14.696 psia or
29.921 inches of mercury or 406.8 inches of water.
Bar: Unit of pressure measurement. One bar equals 14.504
pounds per square inch or 100 kilopascals.
Celsius (C): Unit of temperature measurement. At one
atmosphere pressure: at zero degrees Celsius, water
freezes; at 100 degrees Celsius, water boils. One
degree Celsius is equal to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tc = (Tf -32)/1.8
Fahrenheit (F): Unit of temperature measurement. At one
atmosphere pressure: at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, water
freezes; at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, water boils.
Tf = 1.8 x Tc + 32
Kelvin: Unit of temperature measurement referenced to
absolute conditions.
Degrees Kelvin = Degrees Celsius + 273.15
NCM/M (normal cubic meters per minute): Flow measurement at normal (standard) conditions (STP).
PSIG: Gauge pressure in pounds per square inch above
atmospheric pressure.
Rankine: Unit of temperature measurement referenced to
absolute conditions.
Degrees Rankine = Degrees Fahrenheit + 459.67
SCFM (standard cubic feet per minute): Flow measurement at standard (STP) conditions.
SFPM (standard feet per minute): Velocity of gas flowing
in the pipe or duct referenced to standard (STP) conditions.
Standard Conditions: Typical is 70° F and one atmosphere pressure (14.7 psia) or 0° C and one bar pressure
(14.5 psia).
STP (standard pressure and temperature): Also referred
to as standard conditions.
Velocity: Measured in SF/M (standard feet per minute) or
NM/M (normal meters per minute). This is the mass
velocity directly measured by the instrument referenced
to the appropriate standard conditions.
NM/M (normal meters per minute): Velocity of the gas
referenced to standard (STP) conditions.
PSIA: Absolute pressure in pounds per square inch. Zero
psia is an absolute vacuum.
1 atmosphere pressure = 14.696 psia
PSIA = PSIG + 14.696

SERVICE POLICY
RETURN MATERIAL PROCEDURE
Owners of Magnetrol/STI controls may request the return of
a control or any part of a control for complete rebuilding or
replacement. They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly.
Controls returned under our service policy must be returned
by Prepaid transportation. Magnetrol/STI will repair or
replace the control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner)
other than transportation if:
So that we may efficiently process any materials that are
returned, it is essential that a “Return Material Authorization”
(RMA) number be obtained from the factory, prior to the
material's return. This is available through Magnetrol/STI's
local representative or by contacting the factory. Please supply the following information:
1. Returned within the warranty period; and
2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to be
covered under the warranty.
If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our control;
or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be charges for
labor and the parts required to rebuild or replace the equipment.
In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement
parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to
replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this is
desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, credit for
the materials returned will be determined on the basis of the
applicability of our warranty.
No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequential
damage will be allowed.
