Introduction

INTRODUCTION

General

The DFX ultrasonic flow meter is designed to measure volumetric flow of solids-bearing or aerated liquid within a closed conduit. Transducers are available as non-contacting (DT9) or insertion probe (DP7) types. DT9 non-contacting transducers are strapped to the outside of a pipe and are suitable for most installations where the pipe material supports the transmission of ultrasound. Some pipe materials, such as concrete pressure pipe and some plastic lined pipes do not allow ultrasound to penetrate to the liquid inside. For these applications, use the DP7 insertion probe.
The flow meter operates by transmitting an ultrasonic sound from a transmitting transducer through the pipe wall or from the probe tip into the moving liquid. The sound is reflected by sonic reflectors suspended in the liquid and recorded by the receiving transducer. If the sonic reflectors are moving within the sound transmission path, sound waves are reflected at a frequency shifted (Doppler frequency) from the transmitted frequency. The shift in frequency is directly related to the speed of the moving particle or bubble. This shift in frequency is interpreted by the instrument and converted to various user defined measuring units.
The criteria for a good Doppler reflector are:
• The scattering material must have a sonic impedance (sound speed difference) at least 10% different from the fluid.
• There must be some particles large enough to cause longitudinal reflection—particles larger than 35 micron.
• For a given pipe size, the longitudinal reflection must have sufficient energy to overcome the Rayleigh (energy wasting) scattering caused by smaller particles.
• The reflecting material must travel at the same velocity as the fluid for good accuracy.

Application Versatility

The DFX flow meter can be successfully applied on a wide range of metering applications. The easy-to-program transmitter allows the standard product to be used on pipe sizes ranging from 1…120 in. (25…3050 mm) pipe ID. With the small pipe transducer option, the pipe size range is 0.25…1 in. (6…25 mm). A variety of liquid applications can be accommodated:
• Sewage
• River water
• Plant effluent
• Mining slurries
• Sludge
• Others
Because the transducers are non-contacting and have no moving parts, the flow meter is not affected by system pressure, fouling or wear. Standard transducers are rated to a pipe surface temperature of 250° F (121° C).

Introduction

User Safety

The DFX flow meter employs modular construction and provides electrical safety for the operator. The enclosure is constructed from rugged polycarbonate plastic with UV inhibitors. The enclosure does not contain any conductive materials that can become energized while the door is closed. The keypad is made of polycarbonate and is designed for outdoor use. The AC power transformer provides 4000 Volts of isolation from the power supply mains. The display face contains voltages no greater than 24V DC. Output modules are optically isolated from external power supplies and provide a great degree of immunity to ground loops.
CAUTION
IF THE DFX FLOW METER IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.

Data Integrity

The DFX flow meter retains all user configuration data and totalizer accumulations in non-volatile FLASH memory indefinitely.
Product Identication

Unpacking and Inspection

Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment.
OTE:N If damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of delivery and file a claim with the
carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

Mounting Locations

The transducers contain piezoelectric crystals for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic sound energy through the pipe wall (DT9) and from the probe tip (DP7). Placement of the ultrasonic transducer is the most critical step in achieving an accurate and reliable flow reading. All flow meters of this type rely on a full-pipe of fluid that is flowing symmetrically (evenly) in the pipe. Flow in partially filled pipes and immediately downstream of elbows, valves and pumps is unstable and leads to unstable readings and non-linearity.
The DFX flow meter has software algorithms that assume a full pipe of liquid. Install only in locations where the pipe is filled at all times when flow measurements are required. Avoid partially filled pipes that can lead to very large flow measurement errors. See Figure 5 for possible pipe configurations.

Transducer Installation

Pipe Preparation

Before the transducer heads are mounted to the pipe surface, an area slightly larger than the flat surface of the transducer face must be prepared. If pipe insulation is present, it must be peeled back to expose the pipe surface. Use a wire brush to remove loose paint, rust, scale or dirt. Paint, if bonded well to the pipe surface, does not need to be removed. Any bumps present on ductile iron pipe do not need to be removed. Thoroughly dry the mounting surfaces so that the couplant grease bonds to the surface.
OTE:N Small pits in the piping surface typically do not significantly impact ultrasonic transmission or signal reception.
Couplant
Use a coupling compound to create an acoustically conductive path between the transducer and the prepared pipe surface. Clamp-on ultrasonic meters do not operate without coupling compound mounted between the pipe wall and the transducer face. Enclosed with the DFX system is a tube of coupling compound that is adequate for general purpose applications. Use a silicone-based valve grease or RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) products or grease for Doppler installations as they operate over a very wide temperature range. In some installations, such as automotive, silicone is not permitted. Alternate petroleum-based products can be used, but verify that the grease is rated not to flow at the maximum surface temperature anticipated on the pipe.
In general, use the following couplants with these transducers:
Transducer Couplant
DT90, DT91, DT94, DT95 Dow 732 or Dow 111 (or equivalent) DT92, DT93, DT96, DT97 Krytox® LVP
DP7 Not applicable
Table 1: Transducer couplants

DT9 Clamp-On Transducer Mounting

Clamp-on transducers should be mounted on the pipe 180° apart and facing each other on the pipe, with the cables on the downstream side of the transducers. If the pipe is horizontal, the preferred mounting orientation is 3 and 9 o’clock, with 12 o’clock being the top of the pipe. See Figure 7. Orientation on vertical pipes does not matter.
FLOW
Figure 7: Transducer Placement
Large pipe installations use stainless steel straps to secure the transducers to the outside of the pipe. The DFX system is shipped with four 36 in. (900 mm) straps, which are suitable for pipes up to 39 in. (1000 mm) diameter.
1. Select the proper number of transducer straps to allow a complete strap to go around the circumference of the pipe. If a pipe is larger than 39 in. (1000 mm), use a single strap/buckle arrangement to reduce the number of strap connections. The straps can be connected together to make a continuous length. Small pipe installations use an integral clamping mechanism built into the transducer.

Transducer Installation
2. Wrap the strap around the pipe where the transducers mount. Leave the strap loose enough to allow the transducers to be placed underneath. If multiple straps are being used, wrap electrical tape around all but one strap connection to secure the strap worm screws in place.
3. Spread an even layer of coupling compound, approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) thick, to the prepared transducer mounting areas of the pipe.
4. Spread an even layer of coupling compound, approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) thick, to the at face of the two transducers.
5. Place each transducer under the strap with the at face—amber plastic window—positioned towards the pipe. The notch on the back of the transducer provides a mounting surface for the strap. The transducer cables must be facing in the same direction and downstream of the transducers for proper operation.
OTE:N Large pipes may require two people for this procedure.
6. Tighten the strap enough to hold the transducers in place, but not so tight that all of the couplant squeezes out of the gap between the transducer face and pipe. Make sure that the transducers are squarely aligned on the pipe and 180° apart. If RTV is used, avoid moving the transducers during the curing time (typically 24 hours) as bubbles may form between the transducer and pipe that can reduce ultrasonic signal transmission to unsatisfactory levels.
7. Route the transducer cables back to the area where the transmitter mounts, avoiding high voltage cable trays and conduits. While transducer cable extension is not generally recommended, if additional transducer cable length is required, use cable and connectors of the correct type and impedance. In many cases, especially if a splice my be exposed to water or other liquids, it may be more eective to replace the entire cable. Transducers use RG59, 75 Ohm coaxial cable or Twinax (Belden #9463) or (Belden # 9463DB) 78 Ohm two conductor cable.
8. If the transducers are permanently mounted using Dow 732, the RTV must be completely cured before proceeding to Instrument Startup. Make sure that no relative motion between the transducer and pipe occurs during the 24 hour curing process. If Dow 111 grease was used for temporary operation of the DFX system, proceed with the Startup procedures.

DP7 Probe Transducer Mounting

The DP7 insertion transducer that is used by the DFX flow meter contains piezoelectric crystals for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic sound energy. The black Ultem® plastic tip of the DP7 transducer contains these crystals, which are designed to be inserted just into the path of the flowing liquid.
Select a transducer mounting location that is completely filled with liquid when flow measurements are made (see
Figure 5) and with adequate straight runs (without disturbances) of pipe, both upstream and downstream, to achieve stable
and accurate readings. Examples of minimum upstream and downstream requirements are included in Figure 5 on page 10.
Figure 8: Installation locations
When installing the DP7 transducer in a horizontal pipe, the preferred orientation is at least 20 degrees from the top or bottom of the pipe. Verify that the mounting location allows for adequate clearance to install and retract the probe fully from the pipe.
The following instructions cover hot tapping applications where the installation or removal of the transducer probe must be done without shutting down the process pressure. If the product is being installed without an isolation valve, ignore the steps that pertain to its installation. Figure 9 illustrates an exploded view of an isolation valve assembly and names the various components.

All items required for installation are provided with the kit, except for the 1-1/2 in. NPT weld coupling or service saddle and the drilling and welding equipment. These instructions call for the use of a drilling machine designed for operations under pressure (for example, Mueller Co., Water Products Division).
1. Verify that the pipe’s line pressure is within the rated limits of the pressure drilling machine being used.
2. Grind o paint or other coatings from the pipe in the DP7 probe mounting area.
3. Tack weld a 1-1/2 in. NPT weld coupling to the pipe or install a service saddle according to the supplier’s instructions. The coupling or saddle must be aligned perpendicular to the pipe axis and square to its plane.
4. Complete welding. A water tight, 0.25 in. minimum weld bead is recommended.
5. Install the close nipple (supplied with assembly) into the weld coupling. Use appropriate pipe sealants.
6. Install the isolating ball valve on the close nipple. Verify that the valve is in the fully open position.
7. Install drill bit and adapter into the pressure drilling machine. Then attach the machine to the isolation valve.
8. Drill through the pipe wall in accordance with the instructions supplied with the drilling machine.
9. Withdraw the drill bit through the isolating valve.
10. Close the valve and remove the drilling machine.
11. Check for leakage at valve and connections.
12. Place pipe sealant on the 1-1/2 in. NPT threads of the insertion tting assembly.
13. Screw the assembly into the isolation valve and tighten with a 2-1/2 in. pump wrench.

Transducer Installation
Probe Cables
Before inserting the probe into the pipe, the sensor cables should be routed to the transmitter location. Verify that the supplied cable length is sufficient to meet the installation requirements. While transducer cable extension is not generally recommended, if additional transducer cable length is required, use cable and connectors of the correct type and impedance. In many cases, especially if a splice my be exposed to water or other liquids, it may be more effective to replace the entire cable. Transducers use RG59, 75 Ohm coaxial cable, Twinax (Belden #9463) or (Belden # 9463DB) 78 Ohm two-conductor cable.
CAUTION
THE PROBE CABLES ARE DESIGNED TO CARRY LOW LEVEL SIGNALS THAT ARE DEVELOPED BY THE SENSOR. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN IN ROUTING THE CABLES. AVOID RUNNING CABLES NEAR SOURCES OF HIGH VOLTAGE OR EMI/RFI. ALSO AVOID ROUTING THE CABLES IN CABLE TRAY CONFIGURATIONS, UNLESS THE TRAYS ARE SPECIFICALLY USED FOR OTHER LOW VOLTAGE, LOW LEVEL SIGNAL CABLES.
CAUTION
THE INTERNAL DP7 PROBE WIRING IS EPOXY ENCAPSULATED TO SEAL IT FROM MOISTURE. THE DP7 PROBE IS PROVIDED WITH TWO COAXIAL CABLES TO SHIELD THE LOW LEVEL SIGNALS AND MUST BE CONTINUOUS TO THE DP7 PROBE TRANSMITTER. EXCESS WIRE MAY BE CUTOFF OR SIMPLY COILED NEAR THE DFX FLOW METER.
Probe Retraction Procedure
1. Retract the probe by loosening the upper jam nuts counterclockwise as viewed from the top of the probe using the proper size wrench. If the pipe is under pressure, the nuts must be turned alternately about two turns at a time to prevent binding as a result of non-equal seal loading. In many cases, the line pressure causes the probe to retract. Should the probe bind, use the retraction nuts on the lower side of the probe ange to assist in the probe retraction. Continue this procedure until the probe is fully retracted into the isolation valve.
CAUTION
DO NOT RUN THE DRIVE NUTS OFF THE RODS UNTIL THE ISOLATION VALVE IS FULLY CLOSED.
2. After the probe is retracted past the “ball” in the isolation valve, the isolation valve may be closed to isolate the probe from the line so the probe can be removed entirely.
CAUTION
IF THE INSERTION PROBE IS NOT ABOVE THE “BALL” OF THE ISOLATION VALVE, THE VALVE CANNOT BE CLOSED. IF THE VALVE WILL NOT CLOSE SMOOTHLY, THE BODY OR TIP OF THE PROBE IS MOST LIKELY NOT ABOVE THE “BALL”. ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THE VALVE INTO THE CLOSED POSITION MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PROBE.

Transducer Installation
Probe Insertion
Before inserting the DP7 probe into the piping system, calculate the probe insertion depth. Refer to the paragraphs that follow and Figure 10 on page 17 for information regarding this process. The variables required are:
• The overall probe length
• Pipe internal diameter (ID)
• Pipe wall thickness
• The length of the valve stack
• Amount of straight pipe diameters in the system
To Calculate Insertion Depth
Using this information and referring to Figure 10, proper insertion depth can be determined.
• Measurement A — The typical depth that the DP7 probe tip is inserted into the piping system is 1/8 (12.5%) of the pipe internal diameter.
• Measurement B — Pipe wall thickness. This information can be obtained from standard pipe wall charts (see
“Specifications” on page40) or ideally can be measured using an ultrasonic wall thickness gauge.
• Measurement C — Measure the distance that is going to be taken up by the pipe tap, nipple, full-flow ball valve and the insertion fitting. DP7 probes use 1-1/2 in. NPT hardware and the insertion fitting is approximately 2-1/2 in. in height.
• Measurement D — The length of DP7 probe that protrudes from the insertion fitting after it is inserted to the proper depth in the fluid stream.
• Measurement E — This is the overall length of the probe measured from the black measurement tip to the top flange on the probe.
Measure and record the following linear dimensions.
A = 0.125 x Pipe OD = B = Pipe Wall Thickness = C = Seal Fitting to Pipe Wall = D = E - C - B - A D = E = Probe Length =

1. Lubricate the O-rings located within the DP7 probe seal tting so that the seals are not damaged during probe insertion.
2. Run the lower jam nuts down to a point that approximates the nal insertion position or at least far enough to allow insertion into the insertion tting.
3. Using the threaded rods as a guide, position the probe in the insertion tting. Continue to insert the probe into the isolation assembly until the probe tip comes in contact with the closed “ball” in the isolation valve.
CAUTION
DO NOT FORCE THE PROBE TIP AGAINST THE “BALL”, AS DAMAGE TO THE PROBE TIP MAY RESULT.
4. Replace the upper jam nuts (2 on each rod) and the cotter pins. The nuts should be run down to the top side of the retaining collar and the cotter pins replaced.
5. Orient the probe in the direction of ow as indicated by the ow direction arrow located on the top of the probe ange.
6. Lock the probe in position with the enclosed Allen wrench.
CAUTION
THE NUTS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE RETAINING RODS MUST ALWAYS BE IN PLACE AS A SAFETY MEASURE TO PREVENT POSSIBLE PROBE BLOW OUT. INSERTING COTTER PINS IS A FURTHER SAFETY MEASURE.
7. Slowly open the isolation valve. When the valve is fully open, use the proper size wrench on the insertion nuts, alternately tightening each nut about two complete turns to avoid uneven seal loading.

TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION

Unpacking and Inspection

Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment.
OTE:N If damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of delivery and file a claim with the
carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

Mounting Location

The enclosure should be mounted in an area that is convenient for servicing, calibration and for observation of the LCD readout.
1. Locate the transmitter within the length of transducer cable that was supplied with the DFX system. If this is not possible, exchange the cable for one that is of proper length. While transducer cable extension is not generally recommended, if additional transducer cable length is required, use cable and connectors of the correct type and impedance. In many cases, especially if a splice my be exposed to water or other liquids, it may be more eective to replace the entire cable. Transducers use RG59,75 Ohm coaxial cable or Twinax (Belden #9463) or (Belden # 9463DB) 78 Ohm two-conductor cable.
2. Mount the DFX ow meter in a location that is:
• Free of vibration
• Protected from falling corrosive fluids
• Within ambient temperature limits – 40…185° F (– 40…85° C)
• Out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may increase transmitter temperature to above the maximum limit
3. See Figure 12 for enclosure and mounting dimension details. Make sure there is enough room for door swing, maintenance and conduit entrances. Secure the enclosure to a at surface with four appropriate fasteners.
4. Use conduit hubs where cables enter the enclosure. Seal unused holes with plugs.
OTE:N Use NEMA 4 (IP-65) rated fittings/plugs to maintain the watertight integrity of the enclosure. Generally, the left
conduit hole (viewed from front) is used for line power, the center conduit hole for transducer connections and the right hole is used for ISO-MOD I/O wiring.
5. If additional holes are required, drill the appropriate size hole in the enclosure’s bottom. Use extreme care not to run the drill bit into the wiring or circuit cards.

The terminals within the DFX flow meter are removable. They can be unplugged, wired and then plugged back in.
2. Connect the wires to J4 at the corresponding screw terminals in the transmitter. See Figure 14 or the Wiring Diagram located inside the door of the transmitter.
OTE:N The transducer cable carries low level, high frequency signals. While transducer cable extension is not generally
recommended, if additional transducer cable length is required, use cable and connectors of the correct type and impedance. In many cases, especially if a splice my be exposed to water or other liquids, it may be more effective to replace the entire cable. Transducers use RG59, 75 Ohm coaxial cable or Twinax (Belden #9463) or (Belden # 9463DB) 78 Ohm two conductor cable. Cable lengths up to 990 feet (300 meters) are available.

Multiple Meter Installations

The DFX flow meter contains a provision for synchronizing multiple DFX flow meters together. Synchronization is required when more than one DFX flow meter is mounted on a common pipe or header system. If the meters are not synchronized, a phenomena called “cross-talk” can occur between meters, which can lead to erroneous readings or no readings at all. Cross-talk results from the small differences in transmitted frequency generated from two or more different ultrasonic flow meters. By synchronizing the transmitted ultrasonic energy, cross-talk caused by differences in transmitted frequency is eliminated.
The DFX flow meter synchronization circuit is designed to interconnect up to four DFX flow meters over a cable length of 100 feet (30 meters). Use 20-22 AWG twisted-pair shielded interconnection wire for this purpose. See Figure 18.

ISO Modules

The DFX flow meter uses ISO-MODs for input and output functions. ISO-MODs are epoxy encapsulated electronic input/ output modules that are simple to install and replace in the field. See Figure 20. All modules are 2500 V optically isolated from the DFX flow meter’s power and earth grounds. This eliminates the potential for ground loops and reduces the chance of severe damage in the event of an electrical surge.
Three ISO-MOD options are available: 4…20 mA, dual-relay and rate pulse. The DFX flow meter supports any two ISO-MOD input/output modules. All modules are field-configurable by using the keyboard interface. Field wiring connections to ISO-MODs are quick and easy using removable wiring terminals. Configuration and connection of the various ISO-MODs are described on the following pages.
ISO Module Replacement
To remove an ISO-MOD, remove the two machine screws that secure the module in place and pull the module straight out of the enclosure. A 10-pin connection is on the bottom of the module that mates with the circuit board underneath. To install and ISO-MOD, push the module into the 10-pin connector and tighten the two machine screws. Re-calibrate the parameters if the 4…20 mA modules are replaced. See “Module Configuration Parameters” on page 35 for instructions.

4…20 mA Output Module

The 4…20 mA Output Module interfaces with most recording and logging systems by transmitting an analog current signal that is proportional to system flow rate. Configure the 4…20 mA ISO-MOD via jumper selections for an internally powered (Figure 22) or externally powered (Figure 23) module. Do not exceed the maximum load for a particular supply voltage. See Figure 21.

Internal Power Conguration
Verify that jumpers are in place at JP1 and JP2 on the module. See Figure 22 . In this configuration, the 4…20 mA output is driven from a +24V DC source located within the DFX flow meter. The 24V DC source is isolated from the DC ground and earth ground connections within the DFX flow meter. The module can accommodate loop loads up to 800 Ohms in this configuration.
OTE:N The +24V internal supply, if configured to power the 4…20 mA output, shares a common ground with another
ISO-MOD (if installed). If another module is connected to earth ground, a ground loop may occur. The solution to this problem is to configure the 4…20 mA module for external power and use an external isolated supply to power the 4…20 mA loop.

The voltage of the external power source must be sufficient to power the module and drive the loop load. The loop loss attributed to the ISO-MOD is 7V DC, so the minimum voltage required to power a loop can be calculated using the following formula: Loop voltage (min) = (loop load Ohms × 0.02) + 7

Control Relay Output Module

Two independent SPDT (single-pole, double-throw, Form C) relays are contained in this module. The relay operations are user configured via the front panel to act in either a flow rate alarm, error alarm or totalizing pulse. The relays are rated for 200V AC maximum and have a current rating of 0.5 A resistive load (175V DC @ 0.25 A resistive). Use a secondary relay whenever the Control Relay ISO-MOD is used to control inductive loads such as solenoids and motors.
Typical relay connections are illustrated in Figure 24. The reed relays located within the relay module can interface directly with small pilot lights, PLCs, electronic counters and SCADA systems.
Figure 25 shows the connection of an external power relay to the Relay ISO-MOD. Use external power relays whenever the
load to be switched exceeds the switch rating of the reed relays, or if the load is inductive in nature.

Rate Pulse Output Module

The Rate Pulse Output Module is used to transmit information to external counters and PID systems via a frequency output that is proportional to system flow rate. The frequency output range of the Rate Pulse Module is 0…2500 Hz. This module has two types of outputs: one simulates the output of the coil of a turbine flow meter and the other is an open-collector type that does not source voltage at its output. Both outputs may be connected simultaneously.
The turbine meter output creates a 500 mV peak-to-peak saw-tooth waveform that is not referenced to ground. This output can be run to electronic monitors that are compatible with variable reluctance outputs from coils, such as those found in turbine and paddle-wheel flow meters. The input impedance of the receiving device should not be smaller than 2000 Ohms.
The standard pulse output does not output a voltage, but acts as an open-collector output requiring an external power source and pull-up resistor. See Figure 26. The MOSFET in the Rate Pulse Module can support loads of 100V @ 1 A. Resistor selection is based on the input impedance of the receiving device. Select a resistor that is a maximum of 10% of the input impedance of the receiving device, but does not exceed 10k Ohms.

INSTRUMENT PROGRAMMING

General

The DFX flow meter is configured through the keypad interface. All entries are saved in non-volatile FLASH memory that is retained indefinitely in the event of power loss.

Keypad Operation

The DFX flow meter contains a four-key tactile feedback keypad interface that lets you view and change configuration parameters used by the meter’s operating system.

calibrated system should be set to 1.000. The range of settings for this entry is 0.5000…5.000. The following example describes using the SCALE F entry.
The DFX meter is indicating a flow rate that is 4% higher than another flow meter located in the same pipe line. To have the meter indicate the same flow rate as the other meter, enter a SCALE F of 0.960, to lower the readings by 4%.
Flow Filter Damping establishes a maximum adaptive filter value. Under stable flow conditions (flow varies less than 10% of reading), this adaptive filter increases the number of successive flow readings that are averaged together up to this maximum value. If flow changes outside of the 10% window, the Flow Filter adapts by decreasing and allows the meter to react faster. Increasing this value tends to provide smoother steady-state flow readings and outputs.
This prompt lets you access the setup parameters associated with installation of the optional ISO-MOD interface modules. If NO is selected, the unit skips ahead to CFG MOD2. If YES is selected, configuration and calibration of the module installed in the first position is accessible.
If NO was selected at CFG MOD1, CFG MOD2 becomes active. This prompt lets you access the setup parameters associated with installation of the optional ISO-MOD interface modules. If NO is selected, the unit skips ahead to PASSWORD. If YES is selected, configuration and calibration of the module installed in the second position is accessible.

Flow Rate Relay configuration permits relay changeover at two separate flow rates allowing operation with an adjustable switch deadband. Figure 30 on page 37 illustrates how the setting of the two set points influences Rate Alarm operation.
A single-point flow rate alarm would place the ON> setting slightly higher than the OFF< setting—allowing a switch deadband to be established. If a deadband is not established, switch chatter (rapid switching) may result if the flow rate is very close to the switch point.
When a relay is set to ERROR mode, the relay activates when any error occurs in the flow meter that has caused the meter to stop measuring reliably. See “Startup and Troubleshooting” on
page38 for a list of potential errors.

AGC MODE – Automatic Gain Control Mode of Operation NORMAL – Standard Configuration HIGH – Used for low signal strength MANUAL – AGC disabled GAIN POT – Digital Gain Control FILTER – Hardware Filter Control
Select the mode of operation. A basic understanding of the AGC logic is required in order to know when to use any selection other than NORMAL.
When the unit is powered up, there is a delay before the unit begins transmitting sound into the pipe. During this time, the signal strength is measured and a base signal level is obtained. Typically this is a value of about 20. The unit measures flow by measuring the Doppler frequency shift. The frequency shift is approximately 70 Hz per foot per second. For every foot per second increase in velocity, the signal strength should increase by 1. The unit automatically adjusts the gain and selects the proper hardware filter for the measured velocity. The control can be observed when the DISPLAY mode is set to DIAG. See Figure 31 on page 38.
Manual Operations
When NORMAL is selected, the unit automatically controls the gain and front end hardware filter for optimum measurement of the Doppler signal.
Select HIGH for applications where the unit reads flow rates consistently, but much lower than the actual flow rate. This may be required when sound is not getting through the pipe as well. Selecting HIGH causes the unit to look for the signal strength to increase by 2 for every foot per second increase in flow rate. Basically, the gain is doubled, but still automatically controlled.
Select the MANUAL mode for applications where the flow is constant but there is extraneous noise to filter out. Typically, this would only be required at very low flow rates. When MANUAL mode is selected, the GAIN POT and FILTER settings are manually set. Automatic control is disabled.
Gain Control
GAIN POT – Digital Gain Pot 0…64 Using the arrow keys, increase or decrease the numerical value to set the signal gain level. Typically, optimum flow measurement is made when this value is 10…50. Use the lowest value that provides an accurate and stable flow reading. This adjustment must be made in conjunction with the FILTER setting.

Hardware Filter
FILTER – Hardware Filter Selection NONE – No Filter LOW – (1600 Hz Cutoff) MEDIUM – (350 Hz Cutoff) HIGH – (250 Hz Cutoff) Select the hardware filter with a cutoff frequency that is above the Doppler shift frequency to be measured. The Doppler shift frequency is found by multiplying the flow velocity (in FPS) by 80. For example, if the flow velocity is 4 FPS then the cutoff frequency is 4 × 80 or 320 Hz. The filter with the next highest frequency would be 350 Hz. Transducer Type
XDCR TYPE – Transducer Type
DT9 – Clamp-on Transducers PROBE – DP7 Insertion Probe Transducer
Select the appropriate transducer type to be connected to the DFX transmitter. The selection invokes optimum hardware and software settings unique to the transducer architecture. Correction Factor C FACTOR – Transducer Type
0.01…5.00 This value is established at the factory during calibration. If a new set of transducers or insertion probe is connected , the new correction factor should be entered. The correction factor values can be found on transducers or probes labels.
Linearization
LINEAR – Entry of Linearization Data
The Linearization feature corrects flow readings influenced by non-linear flow measurement. This typically occurs when there is insufficient straight piping before or after the location where the transducers are mounted.
Up to 10 linearization points may be entered. The microprocessor performs a linear interpolation between data points entered in the linearization table and apply the associated correction factor to the measured flow rate.

2. Enter the measured frequency corresponding to the ow rate for the rst point. This can be obtained by running actual ow with the DISPLAY mode set to DIAG and reading the measured frequency, or by calculating the frequency if the ow rate in feet per second is known using the following formulas:

The unit prompts for COEFF 1 to be entered. This is the multiplication factor for the measured flow rate.
3. Enter the coecient or correction factor to be applied. The value entered must be between 0.5…1.5.
4. Repeat this procedure for all of the linearization points. When all of the points have been entered, the unit returns to the NUM PTS prompt.

STARTUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING
OTE:N The DFX flow meter system requires a full pipe of flowing liquid before a successful startup evaluation can be
completed. Do not attempt to make adjustments or make manual configuration changes until a full pipe of flowing liquid is verified.
OTE:N If an RTV sealant was used to couple the transducers to the pipe, the sealant must fully cure before power is applied
to the instrument. Most RTVs require 24 hours to cure satisfactorily. It is very important that the transducers are not moved during the curing process. Air bubbles can form between the transducer and the pipe wall and influence performance. If silicone grease was used as a couplant, the curing time is not required.

Startup

1. Verify that the DT9 or DP7 transducer has been properly installed and wired. See “Transducer Installation” on page 10.
2. Verify that the power supply jumper settings are properly congured for the power supply. See “Power Supply Wiring
Connections” on page 21.
3. Verify that the meter is properly programmed. See “Instrument Programming” on page 29.
4. Apply power.
5. On initial powerup, the DFX meter’s microprocessor conducts a series of self-diagnostic tests, baseline measurements and begins to buer liquid velocity data. During this 30-second startup, ow rate readings and outputs are inhibited.
6. After the startup routine has completed running, the meter begins to display ow rate and/or total as congured.
7. If an ERROR appears on the monitor’s lower display, see “Troubleshooting” on page 39.

Analog output does not match data collection system
Rate Pulse output does not match data collection system
DFX flow meter does not capture short flow pulses
• Fuse F1 is open or not installed.
• Power supply jumpers are not installed properly. See “Power Supply Wiring Connections” on page 21..
• Ribbon cable between the door and enclosure back is not fully engaged into the two sockets.
• Transducers not properly coupled to the pipe. Couplant is not present or pipe not properly prepared.
• Transducer not properly wired to the J4 Terminal block inside the meter. Review the Wiring Diagram on the inside door of the DFX meter.
• More than one DFX meter is installed on the piping system. See “Multiple Meter Installations” on page 23.
• Insufficient particles over 35 microns. Inject air upstream of the transducers.
• Too many particles that are smaller than 35 micron prevent ultrasonic meters from operating.
• Transducer failure. Unplug transducer cable from J4, measure capacitance between blue/clear or red/ black Receive and Transmit. Verify that the capacitance on each set is approximately 2 nF (nano Farads) and within 0.02 nF of each other.
• Relocate transducer to a pipe position with less hydraulic disturbance.
• Increase Damping value.
• Ensure that ground connection is properly connected to meters earth ground. See Figure 13.
• Verify that pipe ID is entered correctly.
• Verify that an erroneous Scale Factor has not been entered.
• Verify that erroneous Linearization values have not been entered.
• Verify that AGC is set to Normal.
• Verify that the transducers are mounted square and 180 degrees apart on the pipe.
• Relocate transducer to a pipe position with greater straight run length.
• DP7 Probe not aligned in the pipe.
• Verify 4…20 mA calibration.
• Verify 4 mA and 20 mA flow settings. Verify that the loop load is within the supply voltage range
• Run 4…20mA TEST feature to verify that mA outputs coincide with expected data collection system readings.
• Verify 0 Hz and MAX Hz flow settings.
• Place oscilloscope or frequency counter on the Rate Pulse module outputs and verify frequency output.
• Run output TEST feature to verify that the Hz output coincides with expected data collection system readings.
• Verify that the K-factor has been calculated correctly: K-factor = Hz/(flow/second) Example: Max Hz (2500 Hz) = 10,000 Gallons/Minute K-factor = 2,500 Hz / 166.7 Gallons/Second K-factor = 15 pulses/gallon
• Verify that the data collection system is accepting the pulses from the meter. Connect to Turbine OUT or OUT/IN as required.
When run in AUTO mode, the meter uses a series of filters that optimize readings for a particular flow range. The flow meter takes several seconds to adjust to a step change in flow. To make the flow meter respond quickly to changes in flow, decrease DAMPING, place the meter into MANUAL AGC and lock the FILTER at NONE.
