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.

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.

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.

The combination of the measured flow rate and a temperature difference over a device can be
used to determine the amount of energy used by that device. The temperature difference can
either be programmed manually in the converter or be measured with temperature
transmitters, connected to an optional I/O box. in this case, the temperature difference is
determined by measuring the temperature before and after the heat/cold producer/consumer.

INFORMATION!
It is advised to use the same name for the site file as for the data logger file.
• Filename: Set a filename in which the logged data will be stored. The filename can have a
maximum of eight characters, do not use the underscore character (_).

6 OPERATION
INFORMATION!
Automatically, three numbers will be added at the end of the filename, starting with "000". Every
time a log file is created with the same filename, this number will be increased, eg 001, 002 etc.
• Parameters: Select which data must be logged (predefined sets of parameters "Flow",
"Energy" or "Analysis"). Choose "Custom" to select your own set of parameters by setting
each individual available parameter on or off.
• Sample interval: Set the interval at which the data is logged.
• Event loggings: Select if "status" or "limits" events must be logged.
• View log in screens: select if the logged data must be shown and how many screens must be
used for it.
"Sample interval"
The standard sample interval is 60 s; this means that one data point is created every minute. The
maximum number of data points in one file is 150000. If this number is exceeded during logging,
the oldest data points are overwritten. The total memory size for data logging is sufficient for 50
files, each with 150000 data points.
Calculation examples:
Velocity of sound, supply temperature and flow speed must be logged one time per minute.
This means that 150000 data points / 3 = 50000 data points are available per subject. Required is
one data point per minute, resulting in a maximum logging time of 50000 minutes = 833 hours.
OPTISONIC 6300 P
Another example:
Volume flow and velocity of sound must be logged every five seconds.
This means that 150000 data points / 2 = 75000 data points are available per subject. Required is
one data point per five seconds, so twelve data points per minute. The maximum logging time is
75000 / 12 = 6250 minutes (104 hours).

OPERATION 6
"Polarity"
If the polarity stands on "Normal" the polarity of the parameter is regarded. If the polarity stands
on "Absolute value" the direction of flow is not regarded and events will be logged at for example
both negative and positive values.
"Direction"
"Normal" or "Inverse" shows the direction of exceeding the threshold setting in order to log an
event. Normal is when the threshold value is passed by an increasing value of the parameter.

6.4 How to transfer data to a PC
6.4.1 Site files
Site files are used to save and load all configured data from different applications / sites. At the
startup of the converter, the site file is loaded that was last used. If no site file is present, the
default site file will be used.
Site files can be saved and loaded in the "Measurement" menu. When a parameter setting is
changed, the converter will ask if you want to save it when you enter the measuring mode.
CAUTION!
Make sure that site files have a valid name: minimum one character, maximum 12 characters
and underscores (_) are not allowed.
In the menu "File management Site files" you can manage your site files. You can copy,
rename or delete site files.
With the "Import" or "Export" option you can copy site files from/to a memory stick connected to
the USB port.
It is highly recommended to backup your site files on a memory stick or on your pc.
The site files are XML files. You can store, copy or rename the site files on your pc, however if you
edit a site file on your pc the site file might not have the correct format anymore and may give an
error when reading it on the converter.
OPERATION 6
By saving the default site file the parameters settings of the factory are overwritten. To restore
the factory default settings, select "Settings and information Load factory settings". If the
default site file is deleted the converter will create a new one at the next startup of the device.

With the import and export function you can transfer the log files in their original format.
The Export to CSV option is only possible when a memory stick is connected to the converter.
The converter exports the log files to the memory stick as a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file.
INFORMATION!
The value's in the log file are separated with a ";" and "." is used as a decimal separator. A
thousands separator is not used. Use the correct settings in Excel during the import of a CSV file.
OPTISONIC 6300 P

6.4.3 Managing your files from your pc
The converter can be connected to a pc with a USB cable (option). The memory of the converter is
shown in the explorer treeview on your pc in a similar way as a memory stick.
The site files are stored in \pcf\data\configuration (as .XML files).
The log files are stored in \pcf\data\log (as .log files).
You can copy the configuration and log files to your pc for backup and storage. You can copy
configuration files that were created with the UFC 300 P emulation software on your pc.
You can copy log files that were created during earlier data logging sessions on a UFC 300 P to
the UFC 300 P.
CAUTION!
Do not create / change other files than the ones mentioned. Do not delete other files or folders
from the signal converter.
When the converter is connected to your pc you can not convert log files to CSV format on the
converter. This will only work with a memory stick connected to the converter.

OPERATION 6
On the memory stick provided with the OPTISONIC 6300 P there is a folder "UFC400emul". In this
folder there is a file named "pcf.exe". Start this program and you can load site files, change
settings and store them. You can also convert logged data to CSV format. The CSV file will be
stored in the \win32 folder. With this program of course there is no measurement function
available.

8.1 Measuring principle
• Like canoes crossing a river, acoustic signals are transmitted and received along a diagonal
measuring path.
• A sound wave going downstream with the flow travels faster than a sound wave going
upstream against the flow.
• The difference in transit time is directly proportional to the mean flow velocity of the medium.
