3 INSTALLATION FOR FLOW MEASUREMENT

OPTISONIC 6300 P

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 measurement 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.

3.1General 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:

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:

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
	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.

3.2Step 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.

Figure 3-1: Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area

1Min. 10 DN

3 INSTALLATION FOR FLOW MEASUREMENT

OPTISONIC 6300 P

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.

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.

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.

1Advised distance

2Distance 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 of the left transducer to the left side of the right transducer. Put the second transducer at position Z = advised distance 1 + X - distance 2 - 415 mm / 16.3".
