Caution indicates the potential for minor personal injury or property damage. Comply with the instructions and proceed with care.
Before installing or using this product, please read this instruction manual thoroughly. Only qualified personnel should install and/or repair this product. If a fault appears, contact your distributor.

Installation

• Do not place any unit on an unstable surface that may allow it to fall.
• Never place the units above a radiator or heating unit.
• Route all cabling away from potential hazards.
• Isolate from the mains before removing any covers.

Power Connection

• Use only the type of power source suitable for electronic equipment. If in doubt, contact your distributor. Ensure that any power cables are of a sufficiently high current rating.
• All units must be earthed to eliminate risk of electric shock. Failure to properly earth a unit may cause damage to that unit or data stored within it.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The iSonic 4000 Ultrasonic flow meter is designated for flow measurements in open channels and partially filled pipes and volume measurements of liquids in tanks. You can connect one ultrasonic level sensor with 4…20 mA output to the unit. Flows are consequently calculated from measured levels using pre-programmed formulas for various primary flow elements (flumes, weirs) or from the Q/h table. The unit can also calculate flow rates in partially filled pipes and angular open channels using the Manning equation.
• The iSonic 4000 flow meter is an IP67 device in a robust wall-mounted metal case, with a large graphic display.
• The flow meter menu is operated with three front panel high endurance buttons.
• The flow meter is powered externally by 92…275V AC / 50…60 Hz. The DC version is powered externally by 9…36V DC (maximum 9 W).
• You can operate the flow meter via connection to a USB or Ethernet interface with Flow Meter Tool software, which can be used for parameter setup and datalogger download.
• The flow meter has an internal datalogger with 2 MB capacity for approximately 130,000 logged lines. You can download the logged data with the Flow Meter Tool software and save it in .csv format to a PC.
• USB, Ethernet, ADE, RS232, Modbus RS485/RS422 galvanic isolated interfaces are mounted on the board.
• The flow meter has one analog output (0…20 mA or 4…20 mA) and two galvanic isolated pulse outputs.

Nameplate

Look at the device nameplate to make sure the device is delivered according to your order. Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
