Chapter II Descriptions of the Flow Meter

2.1 Delivery Scope

Prompts!

Please carefully check whether the packing case is damaged or loaded/unloaded in an

improper way or not. If it is damaged, please notify the delivery man and the

manufacturer or the consignor and describe the damage in details.

Prompts!

Please check the goods you received with the packing list.

Prompts!

Please check the flowmeter’s nameplate and conform whether the scope of supply is

identical with your order. Check whether the power information on the nameplate is

correct or not; if not, please contact the manufacturer or the dealer.

2.2 Measuring Principle

This series of ultrasonic flowmeter is an industrial time-difference type ultrasonic flowmeter.

It applies the latest industrial-level PFGA, which extremely improves the signal sampling frequency

and bubble tolerance rate; the self-developed TGA technology makes it be capable of dealing with

more complex logic and calculation to provide more accurate and faster measurements, and

ensures the flowmeter could endure non-continuous bubbles or impurities within 5 sec. In

addition, it could be installed and operated in a convenient way with no need to break the pipe or

cut off the fluid or stop work.

Time-difference type ultrasonic measurement indicates determining the fluid flow along the

average velocity with the time difference between two ultrasonic signals transmitting downstream

or upstream in the same stroke.

In which：

v Flow Velocity

M Ultrasonic reflections

D Pipe diameter

Included angle between ultrasound signal

and fluid

Tup Time that downstream transducer sends

signal to upstream

Tdown Time that upstream transducer sends signal

to downstream

△T =Tup-Tdown

2.3 Application Scope

It mainly applies for measuring the flow of homogeneous medium fluid in the following fields:

Domestic wastewater flow measurement, crude oil flow measurement, cementing slurry flow

measurement, oily sewage flow measurement in oil fields, water injection flow measurement

in oil wells, raw water flow measurement in rivers and reservoirs, tap water flow

measurement, process flow measurement of petrochemical products, industrial circulating

water flow measurement, water consumption measurement in production, mineral slurry

flow measurement, pulp flow measurement, chemical flow measurement, circulated cooling

water flow measurement, generating coil cooling water flow measurement (super small

diameter), juice flow measurement, milk flow measurement, and so on.

Chapter III Electrical Connections

3.1 Safety Prompts

Warning!

DO cut off the power before any electrical connections. Please pay attention to the power

supply data on the nameplate.

Caution!

Please strictly comply with local professional health and safety regulations. Only trained

personnel are allowed to operate the electrical equipment.

Prompts!

Please check the nameplate and confirm whether the goods are identical with your order or

not. Check whether the power supply on the nameplate is correct or not; if not, please contact

the manufacturer or the vendor.

Warning!

As specified, the meter must be connected to the protective ground terminal to protect

operators from electric shock.

Transducer housing should be grounded according to national electrical codes, and the most

efficient way for it is to directly connect it to the ground.

3.2 Electrical Cables used for the Flow Meter

Prompts about signal cables

Prompts!

As for signal cables with double shield, efficient grounding of the shield layer could greatly

eliminate the disturbance on the measured value in transmission.

Please pay attention to the following prompts:

Please place cables firmly.

It is allowed to place signal cables in water or soil.

Insulating materials should be flame retardant complying with EN 5062, IEC60322-1 or related

standards.

Signal cables shouldn’t be exposed or contain plasticizer, and shall be flexible at a low

temperature.

Internal shield should be connected through the multi-stranded drain wire.

It is recommended to use "RVVP" shield cables as electrical connection cables. The power cord

should be connected from the hole on one side and the signal cable should come out from the

hole on the other side.

Special shield cable connecting the transducer and the transmitter should be placed far away

from strong electromagnetic to avoid interference; DO NOT place it with HV cables. Special

cables should be minimum with no coiling to eliminate the distributed inductance.

3.3 Connecting electrical cables

Warning!

Signal cables and power cables must be connected while the power is off.

Warning!

As specified, the meter must be connected to the protective ground terminal to protect

operators from electric shock.

Warning!

As for the meters to be used in hazardous areas, please pay attention to the safety and technical

prompts as specified in the professional explosion-proof instructions.

Caution!

Please strictly obey the local occupational health and safety regulations. Only trained personnel

are allowed to operate on electrical equipment.

Warning!

Voltage difference is not allowed between the measuring transducer and the housing or

protective ground cable of the electronic system.

The measuring transducer must be well grounded according to related standard DESIGN CODE

OF INSTRUMENT GROUNDING (HT/T 20513-2014).

The ground conductor shall not transmit any disturbance voltage.

The ground conductor is not allowed to connect other electrical equipment.

3.4 Transmitter Connections

3.4.1. Power supply

Please pay attention to the power supply. Please connect related power supply according

to the symbols of connecting terminals.

3.4.2. Transmitter connections

Once the flowmeter is installed at the designated place as required, you can start connections.

Please connect the cable according to the wiring mark, the specific explanation is as follows:

DC+

Power supply DC10-24V +

DC-

Power supply DC10-24V-

IOUT+

4-20mA Output

IOUT-

RS485 Communication

(Modbus)

In2+

Temperature transducer positive outlet

In2-

Temperature transducer negative outlet

GND

Temperature transducer negative outlet

Warning!

Please ensure that the flowmeter is connected with the power off, and ensure that it has been

reliably grounded before use.

3.4.3 Power on

When switching the power on for the first time, the flowmeter will run automatically

according to the parameters you put last time (the meter is calibrated before leaving factory).

After the flowmeter is installed and powered on, you can check its status in M04 menu; if it

displays “*R”, it indicates that the flowmeter is running normally.

If you use the flowmeter in a new environment, you need to input related parameters.

Any parameters you input would be kept in its memories forever till you correct them again.

If you need to adjust its installation position or the position of the transducer, you need to

input and set related parameters again of the flowmeter to ensure normal use.

DO always finish all tasks when running. No matter in any displays, tasks including

measurement and output should be finished as usual.
