Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The TFX-500w ultrasonic transit time flow meter measures volumetric flow of clean water in pipes 10 in. or smaller. By clamping on the outside of the pipe, the ultrasonic meter installs without cutting or tapping the pipe.

Transit time flow meters use two transducers that clamp on to the outside of a pipe and never directly contact the fluids. The transducers function as both ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. The flow meters operate by alternately transmitting and receiving a frequency-modulated burst of sound energy between the two transducers. The burst is first transmitted in the direction of fluid flow and then against fluid flow. Sound energy in a moving liquid is carried faster when it travels in the direction of fluid flow (downstream) than it does when it travels against fluid flow (upstream). The sound’s time is accurately measured in both directions.

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

Installation Considerations

Mount the transmitter in a location:

• Where little vibration exists.

• That is protected from corrosive fluids.

• That is within the transmitters ambient temperature limits: With display, –4…140° F (–20…60° C); without display: –40…158° F (–40…70° C).

• That is out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may increase transmitter temperature to above the maximum limit.

Equipment Required

• Screwdrivers, wide blade and tiny blade (for securing wires to the terminal blocks)

• User manual for the transducers

• Four #8 or M4 screws, if mounting the transmitter on a wall

• Stainless steel banding straps, if mounting the transmitter on a pipe

Wiring the Transmitter

OTE:N Transducer cables have two wire-color combinations. For the blue and white combination, the blue wire is positive

(+) and the white wire is negative (–). For the red and black combination, the red wire is positive (+) and the black wire is negative (–). The transducer wires are labeled to indicate which pair is upstream or downstream.

4. Connect power to the screw terminal block in the transmitter using the conduit hole in the center of the enclosure. Use wiring practices that conform to local and national codes such as The National Electrical Code Handbook in the U.S.

ANY OTHER WIRING METHOD MAY BE UNSAFE OR CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE TRANSMITTER.

OTE:N This transmitter requires clean electrical line power. Do not operate this transmitter on circuits with noisy

components (such as fluorescent lights, relays, compressors, or variable frequency drives). Do not use step-down transformers from high voltage, high amperage sources. Do not to run signal wires with line power within the same wiring tray or conduit.

DC Power Connections

The transmitter may be operated from a 9…28V DC source, as long as the source supplies a maximum of 5 Watts of power. Connect the DC power to 9…28V DC In, power ground, and chassis ground, as in Figure 19.

OTE:N DC-powered transmitters are protected from major catastrophe with an internal 1.5 Amp SLO-BLO fuse. If this fuse is

blown, the transmitter must be inspected and the fuse replaced at the factory.

IMPORTANT: A Class II DC power supply is required.

4…20 mA Output Wiring

The 4…20 mA output transmits an analog current signal that is proportional to system flow rate. The 4…20 mA output can be internally or externally powered and can span negative to positive flow rates.

DC-powered transmitters use the DC power supply voltage to drive the current loop. The current loop is not isolated from DC ground or power.

RS485 Output

The RS485 feature allows up to 126 transmitters to be placed on a single three-wire cable up to 4000 feet. All transmitters are assigned a unique numeric address that allows all of the transmitters on the cable network to be independently accessed. Either Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP protocol is used to interrogate the transmitters.

Flow rate and total can be monitored over the digital communications bus. When a USB programming cable is connected, the RS485 and frequency outputs are disabled.

Filter Parameters

Filter Method (Default: Adaptive)

The TFX-500w 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 21 April 2019 TTM-UM-02537-EN-04

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 27: 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 29 on page 23, 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.

Numeric entry. Default is 1.00

Set Zero Procedure

SET ZERO removes the No Flow transit time offset. This is also referred to as Zeroing the meter. Because every flow meter installation is slightly different and sound waves can travel in slightly different ways through these various installations, it is important to remove the zero offset at zero flow to maintain the meter’s accuracy. To establish Zero flow and eliminate the offset:

1. The pipe must be full of liquid.

2. Flow must be absolutely zero. Securely close any valves and allow time for any settling to occur.

3. Press SET ZERO once.

Selects whether to use FACTORY calibration or to substitute a FIELD value entered after a meter is installed.

The zero offset entered during factory calibration. ZERO is for reference only and most likely the ZERO VALUE for your installation will be different from the factory ZERO. Numeric display *0.000 ns.

The factor used for linearizing the flow rate calculation when FIELD is selected for FACTOR MODE.

Factor Mode Procedure

The TFX-500w flow meter can be shipped as a transmitter and transducer set or the transmitter and transducers can be shipped separate items. When it ships as a flow meter set, the meter is calibrated at the factory with CAL FACTOR (calibration factor) set for the transducers. When the transmitter and transducers ship as separate items, the transducer calibration factor printed on the transducer label must be entered into the transmitter as the SCALE FACTOR.

To enter the SCALE FACTOR:

1. Change the FACTOR MODE from FACTORY to FIELD.

2. For SCALE FACTOR, enter the calibration factor.

Field Calibration Procedure

To calibrate the TFX-500w flow meter, use a master meter or gravimetric test stand.

1. Set FACTOR MODE to FIELD.

2. Verify SCALE FACTOR is set to 1.

3. Run calibration test.

4. Calculate the SCALE FACTOR. SCALE FACTOR = (actual flow)/(meter flow rate) or (actual total)/(meter total)

5. Enter the SCALE FACTOR.

Parameter Value

Output Source Flow Rate Minimum 0 gal/min Maximum 100 gal/min Maximum Frequency 2000 Hz

Example 2: For a system that flow is bidirectional, the flow rate ranges from

-100 gal/min to 100 gal/min and the frequency at 100 gal/min is 2000 Hz, set up the parameters to:

Parameter Value

Output Source Flow Rate Minimum -100 gal/min Maximum 100 gal/min Maximum Frequency 2000 Hz

With this setup at no flow, the frequency output is 1000 Hz..

Select whether the pulse output accumulates only on positive (forward) flow, only on negative (reverse) flow or anytime flow occurs regardless of the flow direction (bidirectional). For bidirectional, assign the direction status to the other output, if desired.

PULSE LOW, the pulse totalizer output remains in the off state and the voltage floats at the source voltage level. When the pulse is triggered, the output turns on and the voltage drops to the low voltage level. This setup uses the least power.

If the pulse needs to be at the high voltage level, use the PULSE HIGH option.

Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING

Warning and alarm messages are classified according to NAMUR 107 standards.

Out of Specication 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.

Symptoms

Symptom: Transmitter does not power up.

Possible Causes Recommended 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 Causes Recommended 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

Symptom: Unstable flow.

Possible Causes Recommended Action

• Installation issues

• Flow instability

• Transducers mounting is loose

• Transducers are moved

Symptom: Flow readout is opposite of the flow direction.

Possible Causes Recommended Action

• Integral mount transmitter is mounted in reverse flow direction so display is properly oriented

• Up and down transducers wiring reversed

• Flow direction parameter is reversed

Symptoms: Current, frequency or pulse outputs do not match the readings.

Possible Causes Recommended Action

• Incorrect parameter settings

• Wiring or control system configuration issues

• 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.

• 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.

• Change the transducer flow direction parameter.

• Rewire the up and down transducers to the transmitter.

Verify that the parameters for the output are set properly.
