Introduction
INTRODUCTION
WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT INCLUDES SOME EXTERNAL NONMETALLIC PARTS. THE USER SHALL THEREFORE ENSURE THAT
THE EQUIPMENT IS NOT INSTALLED IN A LOCATION WHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECTED TO EXTERNAL CONDITIONS SUCH
AS HIGHPRESSURE STEAM WHICH MIGHT CAUSE A BUILDUP OF ELECTROSTATIC CHARGES ON NONCONDUCTING
SURFACES. ADDITIONALLY, CLEANING OF THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE DONE ONLY WITH A DAMP CLOTH.
The TFX-5000 transit time meter measures volumetric flow and heating/cooling energy rates in clean liquids as well as those
with small amounts of suspended solids or aeration, such as surface water or sewage. TFX-5000 ultrasonic flow and energy
meters clamp onto the outside of pipes and do not contact the internal liquid.
The TFX-5000 meter is available in two versions:
• A flow meter for water delivery, sewage, cooling water, alcohols, chemical
• A heating/cooling energy flow meter used in conjunction with dual clamp-on RTDs for temperature measurement—ideal
for hydronic process and HVAC applications
Transit time flow meters measure the time difference between the travel time of an ultrasound wave going with the fluid
flow and against the fluid flow. The time difference is used to calculate the velocity of the fluid traveling in a closed-pipe
system. The transducers used in transit time measurements operate alternately as transmitters and receivers. Transit time
measurements are bi-directional and are most effective for fluids that have low concentrations of suspended solids and are
sonically conductive.
Figure 1: Meter operation
An ultrasonic meter equipped with heat flow capabilities measures the rate and quantity of heat delivered or removed from
devices such as heat exchangers. By measuring the volumetric flow rate of the heat exchanger liquid, the temperature at the
inlet pipe and the temperature at the outlet pipe, the energy usage can be calculated.
By applying a scaling factor, this heat flow measurement can be expressed in various units (Btu, Watts, Joules, Kilowatts
and others).

INSTALLATION
Overview
Each of the installation steps that follow is explained in detail on page 11 through page 12 . The actual installation
procedures differ slightly, depending on whether the transducers are fixed or adjustable.
If the transducers are fixed, you will:
1. Install the transducers.
2. Install the transmitter.
3. Wire the transmitter.
4. Program the meter.
If the transducers are adjustable, you will:
1. Install the transmitter.
2. Wire the transmitter.
3. Set up the meter (select the optimum transmission mode, enter the site information, and enter the uid and
pipe properties).
4. Install the transducers.
5. Complete the meter programming.
Installation Considerations
Mount the transmitter in a location:

3. Zero the meter:
Due to different pipe characteristics, the meter must be zeroed in order to maintain accuracy. The recommended method
is to stop flow and make sure there is no flow before zeroing the meter. In situations in which that is not feasible, you may
zero the meter while the flow is steady or enter the zero manually. Based on ZERO MODE, the SET ZERO option
will be selectable.
d. If ZERO MODE is set to NO FLOW:
Check that the pipe is full of liquid and not flowing. Flow must be absolutely zero.
Securely close any valves and allow time for settling to occur.
Select SET ZERO-NO FLOW and click OK to set the new zero.
e. If ZERO MODE is set to STEADY FLOW:
Check that the pipe is full of liquid and flowing at a steady rate.
Select SET ZERO-FLOW and click OK to set the new zero.
4. Select temperature sensor (energy models only):
In the SETUP > INPUTS/OUTPUT > RTD menu, select the temperature sensor type, range and order for positive and negative
energy calculations.
5. Select units:
In the SETUP > UNITS menu, select the units and format of flow rate, total and velocity, and for energy meters the energy
rate, energy total and temperature.
6. Set up the flow settings:
In the SETUP > METER > FLOW SETUP menu, select flow direction, low and maximum flow cutoff, and minimum and
maximum signal strength.

Filter Method (Default: Adaptive)
The TFX-5000 flow meter offers three levels of signal filtering:
• None imposes no filtering on the signal from the transducers.
• Simple with Rejection uses Damping and Bad Data Rejection to filter the flow data.
• *Adaptive filtering allows the meter’s software routines to alter the filtering, depending on the variability of the
transducer’s signal. The Adaptive filter uses a combination of Damping, Bad Data Rejection, Sensitivity and Hysteresis to
modify the flow input data.
Damping (Range 0…100 Seconds; Default: 40 Seconds)
Damping is the approximate amount of time the filtering routines use to attain a 99% stable rate value. Generally, the higher
the damping value, the more stable the rate readings are—but at the expense of response time.
Sensitivity (Range 0…100%; Default: 60%)
Sensitivity determines how fast the adaptive ltering responds to a change in rate. Increasing the sensitivity decreases the
ltering, which allows the display to respond to rate changes more rapidly.
Hysteresis (Range 0…25%; Default: 5%)
Hysteresis creates a window around the average flow measurement reading, defining the limits at which the automatic
damping increases occur. If the rate varies within the hysteresis window, greater damping occurs up to the maximum values
set by the flow filter Damping entry. The filter also establishes a flow rate window where measurements outside of the
window are captured by the Bad Data Rejection window. Enter the value as a percentage of actual flow rate.
For instance, a Hysteresis setting of 5% allows the flow to vary ± 5% from the currently established flow rate without
automatically decreasing the value of the Damping.
Page 28 July 2020TTM-UM-02222-EN-10
Parameter Descriptions by Menu
For example, if the average flow rate is 100 gpm and the Hysteresis is set to 10%, a filter window of 90…110 gpm is
established. Successive flow measurements that reside within that window are recorded and averaged in accordance with
the Damping setting. Flow readings outside of the window are rejected or accepted in accordance with the
Bad Data Rejection setting.

Figure 39: Hysteresis window
Bad Data Rejection (Range 0…10 Samples; Default: 3)
The Bad Data Rejection setting is related to the number of successive readings that must be measured outside of a the
Hysteresis value before the flow meter considers the new flow value valid. In this example, a Hysteresis setting of 10% produces
a ± 10% band centered on the current valid flow rate of 100 gpm.
The Bad Data Rejection setting is the number of successive samples that must be outside of the Hysteresis window before
the flow meter considers the change in flow as real. Larger values are entered into the Bad Data Rejection window when
measuring liquids that contain gas bubbles, as the gas bubbles tend to disturb the ultrasonic signals and cause more
extraneous flow readings to occur. Larger Bad Data Rejection values tend to make the flow meter less responsive to rapid
changes in actual flow rate.
In Figure 41 on page 30, flow data falls outside the flow Hysteresis window but does not reach the minimum time specified in
the Bad Data Rejection window. When data appears that is outside the Hysteresis band and shorter than the Bad Data Rejection
window time, the data is rejected.

Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
Warning and alarm messages are classified according to NAMUR 107 standards.
Out of Specication Messages
Warning and alarm messages occur when the flow meter is operational, but the readings might be out of specification or an
operator might need to take action. If a warning or alarm condition occurs, a warning/alarm icon with code will appear in the
at the bottom of the Home Screen. The flow rate and flow total will continue to be displayed.
Error Messages
An error condition occurs when the flow rate cannot be determined, such as when the signal strength is too low. If an error
condition occurs, the flow rate will be replaced with the "failed" icon, code and description.
If conditions cause multiple messages to occur, all messages will be saved to the history, but some messages may not be
displayed. If an error condition occurs, warning and alarm messages will not be displayed. If multiple errors occur, each error
message will cycle through and be viewable for 5 seconds. Similarly, if multiple warning or alarm conditions occur (but no
error conditions), each message will cycle through and be viewable for 5 seconds.
Warning, Alarm and Error Messages automatically clear when the issue clears.
Check Function Codes
When the meter or outputs are in a test mode, a check function message appears at the bottom of the Home Screen.

Up to 30 alarm or warning message codes are buffered on a first-in-first-out basis. To view the buffer, go to

Symptoms
Symptom: Transmitter does not power up.
Possible CausesRecommended Action
• No power or inadequate power
• Blown fuse (AC Model only)
• Display ribbon cable not seated
properly
Symptom: Flow reading appears to be incorrect.
Possible CausesRecommended Action
• Incorrect positioning of
transducers
• Poor contact between
transducers and pipe
• Poor placement of transducers
• Low signal strength
• Process loop issues
• Incorrect pipe settings
• Meter not calibrated
• Display not set up correctly
• Measure voltage at the power terminals and check that the voltage matches the labels by the
power terminals.
• Check the fuse near the power terminals. If fuse is blown, verify the voltage and polarity is
correct and reset the fuse.
• Inspect ribbon cable connections. LED’s on power board will light up with no LCD display.
• Replace the transmitter if the above actions do not resolve the issue.
Refer to the Transducer Mounting Configuration section for details on proper installation.
At the transducer:
• Verify that the spacing of the transducers is set correctly. On most transducers, a scribe mark on
the side of the transducers indicates the point of measurement—NOT from the end points of
the transducers.
• Verify that the transducers are aligned correctly. For Z-Mount, verify the transducers are 180°
from each other.
• Make sure there is a good contact between the transducers and pipe and a thin coat of acoustic
coupling is applied. For integral mount, check for over-tightening of the transducers.
Process loop and general location:
• Make sure the transducers are on the sides of the pipe and NOT on the top of the pipe.
• Check that the transducers are NOT located at the highest point in the loop where
air may accumulate.
• Check that the transducers are NOT on a downward flowing pipe unless adequate downstream
head pressure is present to overcome partial filling or cavitation.
• Check that the transducers have adequate straight pipe upstream and downstream.
• Check process loop for entrained air or particulates which will impact the flow readings.
• Pipes may develop scale, product build-up or corrosion over time. As a result, the effective wall
thickness may be different than a new pipe and wall thickness or liner parameters may need to
be adjusted.
At the transmitter:
• Verify that pipe parameters match the installation.
Page 48 July 2020TTM-UM-02222-EN-10
Symptom: Unstable flow.
Possible CausesRecommended Action
• Installation issues
• Flow instability
• Transducer mounting is loose
• Transducers are moved
• Incorrect flow settings
• Check process loop for variations of entrained air which will impact the flow
• Check for pump induced flow instability.
• Check that the transducers are secure and are in area where the transducers will not be
inadvertently bumped or disturbed.
• Check low flow cutoff, minimum flow or maximum flow settings.
Symptom: Flow readout is opposite of the flow direction.
Possible CausesRecommended Action
• Integral mount transmitter
is mounted in reverse flow
direction so display is
properly oriented
• Up and down transducers
wiring is reversed
• Flow direction parameter
is reversed
• Change the transducer flow direction parameter.
• Rewire the up and down transducers to the transmitter.
Symptoms: Current, frequency or pulse outputs do not match the readings.
Possible CausesRecommended Action
• Incorrect parameter settings
• Wiring or control system
configuration issues
Verify that the parameters for the output are set properly.
