CONNECTIONS:
POWER INPUT: 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz. No adjustments are necessary for voltages within this
range. Connect L (Live) N (Neutral) and AC Ground.
Optional DC: 9-32 VDC. Connect to + and -terminals.
Optional Thermostat and Heater modules are available rated for 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: AC power input and relay connection wires must have conduit entry to the
instrument enclosure. Installation requires a switch, overcurrent fuse or circuitbreaker 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).
FUNCTION TEST:
Connect the sensor to the TDCR terminals as shown below, then apply
power. Allow 30 seconds for the UF AV5000 to initialize.
A. Place QZ02L sensor (flat to the bottom) in a bucket of water
about 6” deep and select Level mode (from UNITS/MODE
menu) to see a level reading.
B. Select

INSTALLATION - SENSOR LOCATION
1. Choose a sensor mounting location where silt or deposits are least likely to accumulate.
2. For best results flow should be evenly distributed across the channel and relatively free of turbulence.
(The UF AV5000 is very effective at averaging level and velocity readings in turbulent conditions, but
best accuracy and response time is achieved with evenly distributed flow.)
3. Avoid vertical drops, obstructions or elbows immediately up and downstream from the sensor. Locate
the QZ02L sensor at least 10 times maximum Head (level) and 10 times the channel width from these
flow disturbances.
QZ02L VELOCITY-LEVEL SENSOR MOUNTING
Mount the QZ02L sensor with the
stainless steel bracket and hardware
supplied. Ensure that the sensor is
parallel to the water surface (check with
a level). Mount with the tapered end of
the sensor pointing upstream and the
sensor cable pointing downstream.
FASTEN MOUNTING
BRACKET WITH A
SET SCREW
Clip or tie wrap the sensor cable securely
to the pipe or channel wall.
Note: The mounting bracket is designed
to release the sensor if weeds or rags are
caught by the sensor.

OPTIONAL PIPE BAND MOUNTING WITH QZ02L SENSOR
Install the stainless steel pipe band with the sensor mounting
bracket at the invert (bottom) of the pipe. Ensure that the
sensor bracket is parallel to the water surface (check with a
level). Mount so the tapered end of the sensor will point
upstream and the sensor cable will point downstream. (Turn
the ¼” adjustment nut clockwise to expand the bracket and secure to the pipe wall by friction fit.)
Insert the sensor into the mounting bracket and tie-wrap the sensor cable securely to the pipe band using
the holes provided.

surface. Position where silt or solids will not build-up on the sensor.

ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION
Locate the enclosure within 6 m (20 ft) of the sensor (up to 150 m - 500 ft optional). The enclosure can
be wall mounted with the four mounting screws (included) or panel mounted with Option PM Panel
Mount kit from Micronics Limited.
Avoid mounting the enclosure in direct sunlight to protect the electronics from damage due to
overheating and condensate. In high humidity atmospheres, or where temperatures fall below freezing,
Option TH Enclosure Heater and Thermostat is recommended. Seal conduit entries to prevent moisture
from entering enclosure.
NEMA4X (IP66) WITH CLEAR COVER
1. Open hinged enclosure cover.
2. Insert #8 screws (supplied) through the four enclosure mounting holes
to secure the enclosure to the wall or mounting stand.
Additional conduit holes can be cut in the bottom of the enclosure with a
hole saw or Greenlee-type hole cutter.
DO NOT make conduit/wiring entries into the top of the enclosure.
Note: This non-metallic enclosure does not automatically provide
grounding between conduit connections. Grounding must be provided as
part of the installation. Ground in accordance with the requirements of the
National Electrical Code. System grounding is provided by connecting
grounding wires from all conduit entries to the steel mounting plate or
another point which provides continuity.

FIELD TROUBLESHOOTING
The UF AV5000 uses an ultrasonic level sensor to determine channel AREA and an ultrasonic Doppler
sensor to measure flow VELOCITY.
The QZ02L transducer combines both sensors in one housing.
An optional configuration uses the PZ12-LP “down-looking” level sensor and a QZ02L-DP velocity
sensor.
To troubleshoot the UF AV5000, verify correct operation of LEVEL and VELOCITY measurements
separately.
Note: Selecting “Defaults” in theSPECIAL FUNCTION menu will return the instrument to “as-shipped”
factory settings.

SENSOR CABLE RESISTANCE TEST
Unplug the green sensor terminal from the Doppler board and connect the sensor wires as shown. With a
multimeter, perform resistance checks for each set of wires. One single loose terminal may cause false
readings.
Test across shield and core of each wire: TMTR (black/white) and RCVR (black). Resistance should be
approximately 82.5K ohms for any cable length. High readings indicate an open circuit and low readings
indicate a short or partial short in the sensor cable.

UF AV5000 Area-Velocity Flow Meter
APPENDIX A – OPTIONS
EXTRA SENSOR CABLE
(OPTION VXC)
Each Micronics UF AV5000 flow meter includes 7.6 m. (25 ft), 15 m. (50 ft) or 30 m. (100 ft) tri-coaxial
sensor cable. This cable is shielded from electrical interference and is watertight with a polyurethane
jacket. Additional cable and Cable Junction Box (Option VJB) may be ordered with the Flow Meter, or
the cable may be spliced and extended up to 152 m (500 ft) total length as required during installation.
No adjustment is required when the sensor cable is extended or shortened. Use only Micronics tricoaxial VXC shielded cable, or run three RG174U coaxial cables in a metal conduit.
Extended sensor cable can be installed in conduit for mechanical protection. Recommended installation
with a metal junction box is illustrated below:

Mounting Instructions:
Install the stainless steel pipe band with the
sensor mounting bracket at the invert (bottom)
of the pipe. Ensure that the sensor bracket is
parallel to the water surface (check with a
level). Mount so the tapered end of the sensor
will point upstream and the sensor cable will
point downstream. Turn the ¼” adjusting nut
clockwise to expand the bracket and secure to
the pipe wall by friction fit.
Insert the sensor into the mounting bracket and
tie wrap the sensor cable securely to the
stainless steel pipe band.

POWER INPUT OPTION
9-32VDC
UF AV5000 Flow Meters may be ordered factory-configured for 9-32VDC power input.
QUICK BENCH TEST:
Connect Sensor as shown below, then Power. Test operation of the UF AV5000 by holding the sensor in
one hand and rubbing your thumb or fingers briskly across the face (plastic surface) of the sensor.
Allow 15 seconds for the UF AV5000 to process the signal and display a flow value.
CONNECTIONS:
POWER INPUT: Connect 9-32VDC to the + and - terminals. The Power Input GND terminal must be
connected to the nearest Ground pole. A 1-amp fuse in line is recommended.
