CONNECTIONS:
POWER INPUT: The standard model requires AC power input between 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz
10VA. No adjustments are necessary for voltages within this range. Connect L (Live) N (Neutral) and
AC Ground.
Optional DC input model requires 9-32 VDC/10 Watts. Connect to + and - terminals.
Optional Thermostat and Heater modules are available rated for specifically 115 VAC or specifically
230 VAC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with electrical safety standards, AC power input and relay connection
wires must have conduit entry to the instrument enclosure. Installation requires a switch, overcurrent
fuse or circuit breaker in the building (in close proximity to the equipment) that is marked as the
disconnect switch.
Risk of electric shock. Loosen cover screw to access connections. Only qualified personnel
should access connections.
Note: Use of instrumentation over 40°C ambient requires special field wiring.
Note: User replaceable fuse is 2 Amp 250V (T2AL250V), located on the power supply.

TYPICAL SENSOR INSTALLATION
Page 23
TTFM 6.1 Transit Time Flow Meter
Pipe Preparation and Bracket Mounting
Prepare an area 2" wide by 4" long (50mm x 100mm) for each sensor bonding by removing loose paint,
scale and rust. The objective of site preparation is to eliminate any discontinuity between the sensor and
the pipe wall, which would prevent acoustical coupling.
A Sensor Mounting Kit is supplied with each Greyline flow meter. It includes recommended coupling
compound and a stainless steel mounting bracket with adjustable pipe straps. Use the Alignment Bar
(included) to align sensor brackets for V and W mode mounting.
IMPORTANT: The SE16-B transit-time transducers have arrows on the top of them. These should face
each other at installation.
Page 24
TTFM 6.1 Transit Time Flow Meter
SENSOR COUPLING
For permanent or temporary bonding, the following are recommended:
a) Super Lube® (supplied)
Additional supply: order Greyline Option CC-SL30 or your local home improvement store.
b) Water-based sonic compound: Order Greyline Option CC30
c) Electrocardiograph gel
d) Petroleum gel (Vaseline)
The above are arranged in their order of preferred application. Option d is only good for temporary
bonding at room temperature. DO NOT USE: Silicon RTV caulking compound (silicon rubber).
Use the pipe clamp and rail (supplied) as illustrated on previous page. Apply
Super Lube® to the colored face of the sensor. A bead, similar to toothpaste on
a toothbrush, is ideal. Do not overtighten (crush the sensor).
The sensor must be fixed securely to the pipe with coupling material
between the sensor face and the pipe. Sensor installation with
excessive coupling compound can result in gaps or voids in the
coupling and cause errors or loss of signal. Insufficient coupling
compound will create similar conditions.
Over time temporary coupling compounds (e.g. Petroleum Gel) may gradually sag away from the sensor
resulting in reduced signal strength and finally complete loss of signal. Warm temperatures, moisture
and vibration will accelerate this process. Super Lube® as supplied with the TTFM 6.1 (and available
from Greyline Instruments or home improvement stores) is recommended for permanent installations.
Transducer Installation in Wet Locations
The TTFM 6.1 Transit Time Flowmeter transducers are
rated for accidental submersion up to 10 psi (0.75 bar). The
flowmeter will continue to operate and measure flow
accurately during periods of submergence. Plastic seal
jackets on the cables must be filled with coupling compound
to provide additional moisture protection for the BNC cable
connectors.
Page 25
TTFM 6.1 Transit Time Flow Meter
SENSOR MOUNTINGLOCATION
The position of the sensor is one of the most important considerations for accurate flow measurement.
The same location guidelines apply to Transit Time as most other flow meter technologies.
VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL PIPE - Vertical pipe
runs are acceptable, and the transducers can be
mounted in any orientation around the pipe.
Downward flow should be avoided in case the pipe
becomes partially filled or aerated. On Horizontal
pipes and liquids with high concentrations of gas or
solids, the sensors should be mounted on the side (1 to
5 o’clock positions) to avoid concentrations of gas at
the top of the pipe, or solids at the bottom.
STRAIGHT RUN REQUIREMENTS – For best
results, the transducers must be installed on a straight
run of pipe, free of bends, tees, valves, transitions,
insertion probes and obstructions of any kind. For
most installations, ten straight unobstructed pipe
diameters upstream and five diameters
downstream of the transducers is the minimum
recommended distance for proper operation.
Additional considerations are outlined below.
• Do not, if possible, install the transducers downstream from a throttling valve, a mixing tank, the
discharge of a positive displacement pump or any other equipment that could possibly aerate the
liquid. The best location will be as free as possible from flow disturbances, vibration, sources of heat,
noise, or radiated energy.
• Avoid mounting the transducers on a section of pipe with any external scale. Remove all scale, rust,
loose paint, etc., from the location prior to mounting the transducers.
• Do not mount the transducers on a surface aberration (pipe seam, etc.).
• Do not mount transducers from different ultrasonic flow meters on the same pipe.
• Do not run the transducer triaxial cables in common bundles with cables from other instrumentation.
You can run these cables through a common conduit ONLY if they originate at the same flow meter.
• Never mount transducers under water.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some cases, longer straight runs may be necessary where the transducers are
placed downstream from devices which cause unusual flow profile disruptions or swirl. For example:
modulating valves, or two elbows in close proximity and out of plane.
