1.1 Intended use
The OPTISONIC 6400
OPTISONIC 6400 portable clamp-on flow meter is designed for measurement of liquid flows
OPTISONIC 6400OPTISONIC 6400
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 6400 might be the
solution for you.
1.2 Certification
In accordance with the commitment to customer service and safety, the device
described in this document meets the following safety requirements:
• EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and 93/68/EEC in conjunction with EN 61326-1 (1997) and
A1 (1998), A2 (2001)

3 INSTALLATION
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:
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.
OPTISONIC 6400
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.
12
www.krohne.com08/2011 - 4000972602 - MA OPTISONIC 6400 R02 en
OPTISONIC 6400
CAUTION!
•
In order to comply with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC, I/O cables that provide a galvanic
connection to the UFC 400 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.
•
With an empty main battery, the backup battery of the real time clock may run empty when
this is the case for a period longer than one year.
•
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 Installation requirements
3.2.1 Inlet, outlet and recommended mounting area
INSTALLATION 3
To perform an accurate flow measurement preferably mount the sensor rail at least 10 DN
downstream of a flow disturbance like elbow, valve, header or pump. Please follow the
installation recommendations in the next installation position examples.

3 INSTALLATION
3.2.2 Long horizontal pipes
• Install on slightly ascending pipe section.
• If not possible, ensure adequate velocity to prevent air, gas or vapor from collecting 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
3.2.3 Vertical pipelines
OPTISONIC 6400
CAUTION!
•
Ensure that the pipe is fully filled at all times.
•
Both ascending and descending flow direction is measurable.
•
Observe the required in- and outlets.

3.2.4 Open feed or discharge
Install meter on a lowered section of the pipe to ensure a full pipe condition through the meter.
Figure 3-4: Open feed or discharge
3.2.5 Down going pipeline over 5 m / 16 ft length
Install air vent downstream of the flow meter to prevent vacuum. Although this will not harm the
meter, it may cause gases to come out of solution (cavitate) and interfere with proper
measurements.
INSTALLATION 3
Figure 3-5: Down going pipeline over 5 m / 16 ft length
3.2.6 Position of control valve
Always install control valves downstream of flowmeter in order to avoid cavitation or distortion
of flow profile.
