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 circuit breaker 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 sensor terminals as shown on next page, then
apply power. Allow 30 seconds for the UF AV5500 to initialize.
A. Place QZ02L sensor (flat to the bottom) in a bucket of water
about 6” deep and press the programing button to view
the status page which shows level and velocity. Stir the
water to see a velocity reading.

MAIN DISPLAY
The main display shows the units selected from the Units/Mode menu, Flow or
Velocity rate being measured, TOTALIZER and RELAY states. The UF AV5500
will start-up with this display.
MESSAGE ICON
Press from the main display to view temperature measurement, status of the
data logger and error/warning messages provided by the instrument. The
Message Icon will appear on the main display if error messages are being
generated by the instrument. Press ✓ to return to the main display.
STATUS
Press from the MAIN display to view instrument status.
Level Displays the measured level in units selected in the
Units/Mode menu.
Velocity Displays the measured velocity in units selected in the
Units/Mode menu.
Flow Displays the flow rate in units selected in the
Units/Mode menu. The flow is calculated based on the
individual level and velocity data, and the channel
shape and size programmed in the Channel Setup menu.
Min Flow Displays a read-only value of the minimum flow cutoff.
Any flow rate measured below this Min Flow will be
displayed as 0 on the LCD display.
Signal Strength Displays the strength of the received Doppler velocity
signal on a 0-100% scale.
Signal Cutoff Displays a read-only value for signal cutoff. If the
Signal Strength is less than the Signal Cutoff, velocity
will be reported as 0. This setting may need to be
adjusted in case of unstable velocity measurements with
no water moving, or when high levels of industrial
noise are present. The Signal Cutoff can be adjusted in
the Calibration menu.

STATUS (cont.)
Echo Confidence Displays the confidence of level measurement received
from the QZ02L submerged sensor, or PZ15 level
sensor, on a 0-100% scale. This value is a reflection of
the percent of echoes received from pulses. Example: If
8 pulses are sent from the level sensor and only 4
echoes are received, Echo Confidence will report 50%.
This does not mean that the level is inaccurate, but
instead means the level reading could be susceptible to
a loss of reading should the conditions causing missed
pulses gets worse. Like an increase in solids or bubbles
in the flow steam.
24 HR LOG
Press from the MAIN display to view a formatted flow report from instruments
with a built-in data logger. Press to pan through Flow, Velocity and Level
summaries. Press to scroll down one day or repeatedly to scroll to a specific
date. Up to 365 days can be stored for Flow, Level, and Velocity. Newest date
will overwrite the oldest. Press ✓ to return to the main display.
Inserting a USB drive into the meter while on this screen will transfer 24 HR Log
data to the USB drive in .csv format.
PASSWORD
The Password (a number from 0000 to 9999) prevents unauthorized access to the
Calibration menu.
From the Main Display press the key to get to Password. Factory default
password is 0000 and if it has not been changed, this screen will be bypassed
completely.
A new password can be stored by going to the Special Functions New Password
menu.
If a user password is required, press to place the cursor under the first digit and
or to set the number, then to the second digit, etc. Press or ✓ to
proceed to the Menu Selections screen.

Max
Only shown when the level sensor used is a through-air PZ
type. Max range should be set as the distance from the face of
the PZ sensor to the zero level reference point of the
pipe/channel it is installed above. See drawing below.
Min
Only shown when the level sensor used is a through-air PZ
type. Min range should be set as the distance from the face of
the PZ sensor to the maximum water level of the pipe/channel
it is installed above. The water in the pipe/channel should get
no closer than 8 inches for a PZ15-LP sensor type. See

Signal Cutoff
Adjust the setting in percent to suppress industrial noise from
potentially being read as Doppler signals. When Signal
Strength is less than Signal Cutoff, the velocity measurement
will report 0.00 on the LCD display.
Damping
Velocity
Set the dampening value for the velocity reading. Lower
values provide fast response to changing velocities, and higher
values provide a slower response. A value of 0 disables
dampening. Factory default value is 10%.
Level
Set the dampening value for the level reading. Lower values
provide fast response to changing levels, and higher values
provide a slower response. A value of 0 disables dampening.
Factory default value is 10%.
LOE Time
Should the level reading be lost because of air or debris in the
system, the LOE Time will cause the meter to hold the last
valid level reading until the LOE Time is expired, at which
point the meter will produce a Loss of Echo alarm message.
Having a LOE Time in the meter means that intermittent air or
debris issues in the system will not cause the meter to lose
flow reading. If you desire that the meter respond quickly to a
Loss of Echo, set the LOE Time to a low value.
Cal Constant
Used to scale the velocity output of the meter. Factory default
is 1.000.
