SAFETY PRECAUTION
Before use, read the following safety precaution to ensure correct operation of the flowmeter.
Ɣ
The following items are important for safe operation and must be fully observed. These items are classified
as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
Warning & Symbol Meaning
Incorrect handling may lead to a risk of death or severe injury.
Incorrect handling may lead to a risk of medium or light injury, or to a risk of
physical damage.
Ɣ
The items noted under "
Ɣ
All the items are important and must be fully observed.
" may also result in serious trouble depending on circumst ances.
Caution on Installation and Piping
z
This product is not an explosion-proof structure. Do not use it in a place
with explosive gases, otherwise, this may result in serious accident such as
explosion, fire, etc.
z
The unit should be installed in a place conforming with the installation
requirements noted in this instruction manual. Installation in an improper
location may lead to a risk of electric shocks, fire, malfunction, etc.
z
The unit should be installed as noted in the manual. Improper installation
will cause failure, trouble or malfunction of the unit.
z
During installation, make sure that the inside of the unit is free from cable
chips and other foreign objects to prevent fire, trouble, malfunction, etc.
z
The items under "Caution on Installation" noted in the manual must be fully
observed; careless installation may result in trouble or malfunction of the
unit.
Caution on Wiring
z
When performing wiring termination to prevent output trouble caused by
moisture, dew condensation or water leak, follow “Section 3.3 Flow
transmitter wiring” described in this manual
z
Before performing the wiring work, be sure to turn OFF the main power to
prevent electric shocks.
z
Do not perform wiring work outdoors on rainy days to prevent insulation
deterioration and dew condensation; otherwise, it can result in trouble,
malfunction, etc.
z
Be sure to connect a power source of correct rating. Connection of a
power source of incorrect rating may lead to a risk of fire and injury.
z
The unit must be grounded as specified to prevent electric shocks or
malfunction.
z
The analog output signal cable should be wired as far away as possible
from high-voltage lines to prevent electrical interference as it will cause
malfunction of the unit.
z
To prevent malfunction of the unit, the analog output signal cable and
power cable should be wired through separate conduits.

Caution on Maintenance/Inspection
z
The unit should be inspected daily to verify proper measurement
results.
z
When measuring the insulation resistance between the power/output
terminal and the case, follow “Section 5.2.3 How to measure the
insulation resistance” described in this manual.
z
If the fuse is blown, detect and eliminate the cause, and then replace the
fuse with a spare. If there are no spares, replace the fuse with equivalent
specified in this manual (may be procured locally). Use of a
fuse other than specified or its short-circuit may cause an electric shock or
fire. The fuse should be replaced according to “Section 5.3 How to
replace the fuse” described in this manual.

(4) A location not subjected to radiated heat from a heating furnace etc.
(5) A location not subjected to corrosive atmosphere
(6) A location not to be flooded
(7) A place remote from electrical devices (motor, transformer, etc.) which generate electromagnetic
induction noise, electrostatic noise, etc.
(8) A location not subject to excessive fluid pulsation (near pump discharge side)
(9) A location that provides sufficient flow conditioning with the length of the straight pipe.
(10)A place where ambient temperature and humidity are • 20 to +50qC and 90% RH or less for flow
transmitter, and • 20 to +60
C and 90% RH or less for detector set.

1. OUTLINE OF PRODUCT
1.1. Outline
This flowmeter is a clamp-on type ultrasonic flowmeter for permanent use based on transit time measuring methods. The
UXF2 is ideal for clean liquids containing no air bubbles such as pure water. The easy-to-use compact and
lightweight design is intended for integration into mechanical devices.
The flowmeter is applicable to small and medium size pipes of diameter range from 25mm to 600mm providing superior cost
performance.
1.1.1. Measuring principle
Measuring principle
Ultrasonic pulses are propagated diagonally from the upstream and downstream sides, and the time difference caused by the
flow is detected to provide the flow rate measurement.

transmitter (UXF2), and –20 to +60qC and 90% RH or less for detector SX3.
(2) A place not exposed to direct sunshine nor effects of weather.
(3) Sufficient space for daily inspection, wiring, etc.
(4) A location not subject to radiated heat from a heating furnace, etc.
(5) A location not subjected to corrosive atmosphere.
(6) A location not subject to flooding.

The detector can be installed vertically, horizontally or in any position provided the following:
(1) The piping must completely be filled with fluid when it flows.

(2) In case of horizontal piping, mount the detector within r45q from the horizontal plane. Otherwise, the measurement
could be impossible if bubbles stay in the upper part of piping or if deposits are accumulated in the lower part of
piping. In case of vertical piping, the detector may be mounted at any position on its periphery provided that the
flow is upward.

3.2. Installation of flow transmitter
The flow transmitter may be mounted on a wall or 2B pipe stand (option).
3.2.1. Wall mounting
For wall mounting, use two M8 bolts.
According to the mounting hole dimensions shown below, drill holes on the wall, and tighten M8 bolts.
3.2.2. 2B pipe stand mounting
When mounting on 2B pipe, be sure to use the complete set of fixtures (U bolt, support fixture, plain washer,
spring washer, wing nut) that are provided. Tighten the wing nut by hand. Assemble pipe mounting
components as shown in the figure below and do not overtighten. Overtightening may warp or damage the
plastic enclosure.

3.3. Flow transmitter wiring
3.3.1. Precautions in wiring
(1) Use a special coaxial cable (SX3C) as a signal cable between the detector (SX3) and flow
transmitter (UXF2). Continuous lengths are required. Signal cables may not be spliced or joined.
(2) Be sure to pass the signal cables through a metal conduit between the detector and flow transmitter.
Upstream and downstream signal cables may be put in the same conduit but, to avoid an interference, do
not put the power cable together.
(3) For output signal, use a shielded cable, where possible.
(4) To avoid noise interference, do not run cables through conduits carrying heavy duty or high voltage
lines.
(5) If a ground wire is included in the power cable, connect it to ground as it is.
(6) A power switch is not provided on the instrument and must be mounted separately if required.
(7) Cover unused wiring glands and protect from moisture intrusion.
3.3.2. Applied wiring
Use the following cables.
Power cable : 3 or 2 core cabtyre cable.
z
Nominal cross-sectional area 0.75 mm
Finished outer diameter 11 mm.
Output signal cable : 2 or, as required, multiple core cabtyre cable.
z
Finished outer diameter 11 mm.
Detector-flow transmitter cable : Signal cable by type designation (heat-resisting high-frequency coaxial cable having
z
50: of characteristic impedance. In case SX3-A0/B0, provided with oneside waterproof BNC connector).
Finished outer diameter 5 mm.
2
min.
3.3.3. Treatment of wiring ports
The outer case of flow transmitter is waterproof (IP65). However, if installed in a humid place, the wiring ports must be
made airtight to avoid ingress of moisture, condensation, etc. Be sure to use the waterproof glands furnished with the
instrument in order to ensure the waterproof seal. Hermetically seal unused glands with caps provided.
Do not install the instrument where there is a risk of flooding.
