1.1 Intended use
CAUTION!
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
INFORMATION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.
The OPTISONIC 6300 P
OPTISONIC 6300 P portable clamp-on flow meter is designed for measurement of liquid
OPTISONIC 6300 POPTISONIC 6300 P
flows in full pipes, datalogging and transfer of logged results to the PC. The portable clamp-on
flow meter makes it possible to measure the flow on places temporary or you can make use of it
if you want to compare the output with other measurement devices.
If an inline measurement device is broken and you are in need of the information the OPTISONIC
6300 P might be the solution for you.

3 INSTALLATION FOR FLOW MEASUREMENT
INFORMATION!
Four steps are needed to start a measurement on a new location:
1. Find a suitable location and determine some basic data of the pipe.
2. Initialise the UFC 300 P converter and enter the data from step 1. The converter advises a mea-
surement mode.
3. Mount the sensor rails as advised for the chosen measurement mode.
4. Perform an optimisation loop and make small changes in the position of the transducers.
These four steps are described in section 3.2...3.5.
3.1 General safety instructions
WARNING!
In general, devices from the manufacturer may only be installed, commissioned, operated and
maintained by properly trained and authorized personnel.
This document is provided to help you establish operating conditions, which will permit safe and
efficient use of this device.
Specific for sensors:
OPTISONIC 6300 P
WARNING!
•
Be careful when locking the rail back on to the mounting units as your fingers may get stuck
between rail and pipe it is mounted on. This may cause injury.
•
Be careful when mounting the fixation units using the metal strap. The edge of the strap may
cause injury.
CAUTION!
•
Do not bend the metal mounting strap. This may cause improper mounting of the fixation
units of the sensor rails.
•
Protect the pipe contact side of the transducer. Scratches or other damages may have a
negative impact on its proper functioning.
•
Before fitting the transducer to the transducer knob in the sensor rail, check the connection
groove of the transducer cover for damages or dirt. Clean or replace when dirty or damaged.
•
Check sensor cabling with regular intervals for damages and wear as this may cause
improper functioning. Replace when necessary.
•
Check presence of sufficient grease on the transducer pipe contact side in case of acoustic
signal failure.
•
Check the sensor rail sliding area regularly for dirt or other pollution or excess coupling fat,
that may cause improper functioning.
•
Excess of coupling fat may be removed from the sensor rails and transducers with a dry piece
of cloth. Coupling fat on the converter housing may be removed using soapy water.
Specific for converters:
12
WARNING!
Be careful moving the handle of the converter, as your fingers may get stuck between the handle
and the housing of the converter. This may cause injury.

OPTISONIC 6300 P
INSTALLATION FOR FLOW MEASUREMENT 3
CAUTION!
•
In order to comply with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC, I/O cables that provide a galvanic
connection to the UFC 300 P should have a maximum total length of 3 meter.
•
When not used, put the connector covers of the connectors on the bottom side of the
converter in place. This to prevent improper functioning caused by dust/dirt.
•
When the sensor cables are connected while the converter is positioned on a flat surface,
turn the handle fully backwards (towards the housing) in order to prevent excess stress on
the sensor cables.
•
In order to keep the battery at an optimum condition the battery should be charged at least
once every 6 months.
•
If the main battery is empty for a period longer than one year, the backup battery of the real
time clock may run empty.
•
The protection degree of the battery charger / mains adapter is IP 40 / NEMA 1. It should be
protected against moisture entering.
•
To prevent damage due to vibrations, do not firmly attach the converter to or place it on top of
a vibrating object.
3.2 Step 1: Find location and determine data
CAUTION!
Do not start to mount the rails yet! Step 1 is only meant to find a suitable location for a
measurement. The installation itself will be done in Step 3.
Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area
To perform an accurate flow measurement preferably mount the sensor rail at least 10 DN
downstream of a flow disturbance like elbows, valves, headers or pumps. Follow the given
installation recommendations.

3 INSTALLATION FOR FLOW MEASUREMENT
CAUTION!
Make sure that the rail is not mounted at the highest point (risk for air bubbles) or at the lowest
point (risk for particles) of the pipe.
Long horizontal pipes
• Install on slightly ascending pipe section.
• If not possible, make sure that the flow velocity is high enough to prevent air, gas or vapor to
collect in upper part.
• In partially filled pipes, the clamp-on flowmeter will report incorrect flow rates, or not
measure.
OPTISONIC 6300 P
Figure 3-2: Long horizontal pipes
Vertical pipelines
CAUTION!
Make sure that the pipe is fully filled at all times.
INFORMATION!
Both ascending and descending flow directions are measurable.

Open feed or discharge
Install meter on a lowered section of the pipe to make sure that there is a full pipe condition.
Figure 3-4: Open feed or discharge
Down going pipeline over 5 m / 16 ft length
Install an air vent downstream of the flowmeter to prevent vacuum. It may cause gases to come
out of solution (cavitate) that prevent a proper measurement.

Figure 3-5: Down going pipeline over 5 m / 16 ft length
Position of control valve
Always install control valves downstream of the flowmeter in order to avoid cavitation or
distortion of the flow profile.

CAUTION!
Never install the flowmeter at the suction side of a pump in order to avoid cavitation or flashing
in the flowmeter.

Determine data and dimensions of pipe
CAUTION!
The next data must be available before proceeding with Step 2.
OPTISONIC 6300 P
• Use the supplied tape measure to determine the outside diameter of the pipe.
• Determine the pipe wall thickness. A pipe wall thickness gauge or pipe tables can be used for
this.
• Find out what the material of the pipe is.
• If the pipe has a liner, find out the liner material and the thickness of the liner.

INFORMATION!
The maximum distance that can be covered with 1 rail is 195 mm.
The minimum distance for two rails is 180 mm.

0%
INFORMATION!
On request it is possible to use the large rail of the OPTISONIC 6300 with
0,5 MHz transducers. Using this you can measure up to DN4000.
3.4 Step 3: Mount the sensor rails
Before mounting the rails, determine the colors on the connectors of the transducers. Make
sure that the blue transducer is upstream and the green transducer is downstream.
Installation with metal straps (DN15...250)
Put the metal straps around the pipe. Put the sensor rail(s) on the pipe including the transducers
with fixed cables.

Installation with textile straps (> DN250)
For pipe diameters above DN250, the textile straps must be used.
1 Insert the long strap in the upper opening.
2 Insert the short strap in the lower opening at the other side of the rail.
3 Pull the strap around the pipe.
4 Fix the strap, as indicated below.

Put the first transducer at position "0". Put the other transducer at the advised distance, shown
on the screen in Step 2. See the figures below.
Figure 3-11: Advised distance with one rail
1 Advised distance is measured from center first transducer to indicator at second transducer.
• Unlock the transducer by turning the locking knob 2 counter clockwise.
• Slide the transducer 1 to the new position 3.
• Lock the transducer by turning the locking knob 2 clockwise.

2 Distance between 2 rails
• Mount the first rail on the pipe. Make sure that you mount the rail in line with the pipe!
• Position the left transducer in any position X (see next section).
• Mount the second rail (align it with the first rail) at a distance 2 to arrange that the transducer
in the second rail is within the range it can be moved.
• The advised distance 1 is defined from the center
center of the left transducer to the left
