SETUP PROCEDURE FOR “WET-FLOW CALIBRATED” 1010 SYSTEM
Caution: DO NOT use the field manual installation procedure to startup a wet-flow
calibrated system. Doing so could void the calibration by corrupting essential data. This addendum contains the only authorized instructions to
be used when commissioning a wet-flow calibrated 1010 system.
1. INTRODUCTION
When the system 1010 is wet-flow calibrated, the flow computer stores the installation parameters in its storage memory. Each flow calibration is assigned a unique site name. Usually , the
site name corresponds to the pipe size. For example, a 3-inch carbon steel, schedule 40 pipe
would be given the name “3CS40.”
The flow calibration report issued with each wet-flow calibration, includes a flow calibration
“Diagnostic Data Sheet.” This data sheet lists the site name and other necessary information
(such as transducer serial number and spacing information), for setting-up the flowmeter. A
wet-flow calibration applies to a specific flowmeter and set of transducers; identified by serial
numbers on the diagnostic data sheet.
1010FMA-4
NOTE: In order for the flow calibration to be valid, the flow computer and transducers
being used must have the same serial numbers as those listed for the site on
the Calibration Diagnostic Data Sheet.
2. SETUP PROCEDURE
2.1 Transducer Installation
2.1.1Refer to the diagnostic data sheet to find the mounting mode (Direct or Reflect) used
during the wet-flow calibration. Review the transducer installation guidelines in your 1010
field manual.
2.1.2Refer to the diagnostic data sheet for the transducer spacing index utilized during the
flow calibration. Using the mounting configuration employed during the flow calibration,
install the transducers on the pipe at the above noted spacing positions in accordance
with the instructions provided on the transducer installation drawings.
2.1.3Attach the transducer cables noting that the cable marked “UP” attaches to the transducer closest to the source of flow.
NOTE: Before proceeding further, ensure that the pipe is full of liquid. It is not impor-
tant at this point that it be flowing.

2.2Flowmeter Setup
NOTE: The following instructions require the use of the keypad and the menu. The
installer should become familiar with their use before proceeding further.
2.2.1Switch the flowmeter on. Press the <MENU> key .
2.2.2On multi-channel flowmeters, use the arrow keys to select [Dual Channel Flow] or
[Dual Beam Flow] depending on the mode utilized for the wet-flow calibration.
2.2.3Use the arrow keys to select either [Clamp-on], [Flow Tube] or [Clamp-on Spool].
2.2.4Select [Full Site Setup] and use the <Right Arrow> to select [Channel Setup]; then
select [Recall Site Setup].
2.2.5Use the <Down Arrow> to scroll to the site name indicated on the Calibration Diagnostic Data Sheet. Then press <ENT>.
2.2.6The meter will perform a momentary “Makeup” routine that will take a few seconds and
then begin operation.
1010FMA-4
2.2.7Refer to your 1010 field manual for instructions on setting zero flow.
NOTE: Setting zero flow must be performed each time the transducers are installed.
The zero adjustment has no effect on the wet-flow calibration data or the calibration (Kc) factor.
2.2.8Using the arrow keys, scroll to the Data Sp an/Set/Cal menu location. Verify that the [Kc]
(calibration) factor matches the value indicated on the diagnostic data sheet.
2.2.9If you are measuring a liquid other than ambient water, select the [Liquid Class] menu
cell and <Down Arrow> from there to [Viscosity]. Enter the correct viscosity for the
liquid you will be monitoring.
2.2.10 Setup is now complete. Press the <MENU> key twice to view the flow rate display . DO
NOT utilize the [Save Site] command when it appears.
2.2.1 1 When measurements are completed, simply turn off the meter . DO NOT save the site.
This might contaminate the wet-flow calibration data already stored.
NOTE: Contact Siemens’ Technical Services Department if any flow calibration data is
accidentally removed or overwritten.

3.TRANSFER INSTALL FUNCTION
All 1010 flowmeter operating systems (version 3.00.20 and greater) include the installation facility called “Transfer Install.” This function permits the transducers to be repositioned while maintaining all calibration parameters and operation established during the water calibration. The
Transfer Install function allows the transducers to be optimally positioned for a different fluid,
without the need for a new Initial Makeup procedure.
NOTE: Prior to performing Transfer Install make sure that the water calibration proce-
dure was performed and a saved active site exists.
3.1Transfer Install Procedure
To initiate the T ransfer Inst all function, proceed as follows:
3.1.1In the Application Menu press the <Right Arrow> to select the [Liquid Class] menu cell.
Scroll and highlight [Estimated Vs m/s] from the option list.
3.1.2Use the numeric keys to change the Estimated Vs to the Estimated Vs value of the
customer selected liquid.
3.1.3To enter new Estimated Vs value press <ENT>.
1010FMA-4
3.1.4Proceed to the Pick/Install Xdcr menu and select the same transducer , mounting mode
and spacing offset that was selected for the water calibration.
3.1.5Re-space the transducers to the index position indicated by the flowmeter .
3.1.6Scroll to the [Install Completed?] menu cell and select [Transfer Install] from the option
list.
NOTE: If [Transfer Install] does not appear in the option list then either the Estimated
Vs or the transducer size was improperly entered. In this case, recall the water
calibration site and start the procedure again at Step 3.1.1 above.
3.1.7For MultiPath systems repeat Step 3.1.6 above for the remaining p aths.
3.1.8The flowmeter should now be operational at the new spacing location.
NOTE: Depending on the size of the pipeline, the change in the estimated sonic veloc-
ity (Vs) and the repositioning of transducers, the flowmeter may not operate out
of Fault even if the spool or pipe is filled with liquid. This can be expected when
performing a Transfer Inst all for liquified gases or for clamp-on natural gas flowmeters.
3.2Saving New Transfer Install Site
3.2.1To save the Transfer Installed site, scroll to the Channel Setup menu and press the
<Right Arrow>. Press the <Right Arrow> again to select the [Save/Rename] menu cell.
3.2.2Use the numeric keys to rename the Transfer Installed site with the same site name
used in Step 3.1.2 above, but with a “T” appended to the end of the site name (e.g.,
3CS40T).
3.2.3Press <ENT> to store data.

1010N-2 I/O Module
The conventional 1010N-2 I/O module provides the following:
zT wo self-powered, isolated 4-20 mA current loop s (signals Io1 and Io2) that are assignable and
spannable by the user to many flowmeter variables such as flow , sonic velocity , signal strength,
etc. These self-powered outputs also provide an industry-standard fault indication by dropping
to 2 mA if assigned to flow rate and under fault conditions. Note that these outputs, thoughisolated from the system, are NOT isolated from each other.
zTwo 0-10 Vdc outputs (signals Vo1 and Vo2) that are also assignable and spannable by the
user as above. These are also self-powered, but are not isolated from the system.
zT wo 0-5000 Hz Pgen signals (Pgen1 and Pgen2) also assignable and spannable by the user.
These are TTL level pulses.
The 1010N/DN class of meters has a total of six analog outputs as indicated above. In addition (refer to
Installation Drawings 1010N-2-7 and 1010N-7-7):
zAlarms/Status/Totalizer pulses are generally presented as relay closures as either Mercury
Wetted Form 1A or Dry Reed Form C relays.
zAnalog inputs, when provided, are in the form of 4-20 mA non-isolated inputs.
zThe meter also has four non-isolated totalizer command lines providing Totalizer Clear and
T otalizer Hold (NoTot) functionality.
1010N-7 Expanded I/O Module Option
The Expanded I/O Module Option provides all of the above plus the following outputs:
zThe four signals that drive the pulse generator outputs (Pgen 1 and Pgen2) and voltage outputs
(Vo1 and Vo2) of the meter create four current outputs: Aux Io1, Aux Io2, Aux Io3 and Aux Io4
(see diagram on next page).
zBy spanning and assigning a system variable to 0-10 volt (Vo1 and Vo2) or 0-5000 Hz pulse
output (Pgen1 and Pgen2) the module simultaneously outputs these signals to the Expanded
I/O Module Option Aux outputs. For a 2-Channel meter the programming assignments are as

1.GETTING STARTED
1.1INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Siemens SITRANS FUS1010 NEMA Permanent Flowmeter.
Intended for dedicated applications, this versatile transit-time flowmeter is easy to set up and operate.
The Model FUS1010 flowmeter represents the state-of-the-art in computerized instrumentation. We
are confident that in a very short time, you will appreciate its unrivaled performance and features;
especially Siemens’s ground breaking enhanced transit-time Digitally Coded MultiPuls technology and
the on-line automatic and interactive site setup facility . This manual covers FUS1010 Single Channel,
Dual Channel/Dual Path and 4-Channel/4-Path flowmeter types in NEMA-4 or NEMA-7 enclosures.
Only the Model 1010FTN and 1010AN flowmeters are equipped to utilize the flow tubes shown in
Section 6.
This section shows how to install the System FUS1010 flowmeter with a minimal amount of effort. It
will show how to use the Installation Menu to set up the system for transit-time, Reflexor and Flow T ube
Clamp-on operation. It also shows the basic connections to and from the flowmeter. For additional
information on connections, see the drawings at the end of manual.
1.2IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The FUS1010 NEMA Permanent meter operates from either an external AC or DC power source.
Please observe all the electrical safety codes, etc., that apply to your application. We recommend that
only experienced personnel with knowledge of local electrical codes and safety operating procedures
perform the installation and wiring. It is solely the user’s responsibility to operate this equipment safely.
Siemens cannot accept responsibility for any damage that may occur due to failure to observe any
local safety rules.
If this equipment is used for a hazardous application (high line pressure, hostile liquid characteristics,
perilous atmosphere, etc.), the end-user must ensure that only properly trained personnel are involved
in its installation and operation.
Please do not let the size of the Installation Menu intimidate you. Almost all menu cells already contain
default parameters. To begin operation, you only need to access the menu cells that control a required

cell that requires an alphanumeric string answer, the menu cell right-hand column provides an eightcharacter entry field. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the field. This selects the first character
position. Note that the prompt changes to a question mark (?). With the cursor at the first character
position, use the <Up> or <Down Arrows> to scroll through a single-character list. For example, as
shown below, an <Up Arrow> at the first character position produces the letter: uppercase [A]. Pressing the <Right Arrow> moves the cursor to the second position.

1.7.3 THE METER TYPE MENU
This is the first list presented upon entering the Installation Menu. Select the type of meter required for
your application. The meter automatically conditions Installation Menu choices to suit the selected
meter type. The following paragraphs introduce the available meter types for dual channel systems.
NOTE: On Single Channel systems, you do not get a choice of meter types, sincethis requires
two independent measurement channels. However, you can operate the single channel with any optionally supplied measurement technology. Some four channel models
provide four-path and channel summing operation.

1.7.4ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR USERS OF MULTI-CHANNEL 1010’s
Multi-Channel Meter Type
If your 1010 is a multi-channel model, it offers 2 or 4 independent measurement channels. The meter’s
resources are divided among these channels equally. This means that analog Input/Output, relays
and digital command lines will be fewer than for single channel machines. We’ll show you later how to
“get around” this limitation for times when you need all your multi-path meter’s resources for a single
measurement channel.
If one, two or three channels are running when you are trying to setup the last channel, it could take a
very long time for the setup; some 10 to 15 minutes should be expected. A great time saver would be to
turn each channel off after setup (setup one channel at a time) and reactivate all after everything is
setup; then the setup time goes very quickly .
Your datalogger and site storage memory, being bulky resources, are not divided up at all, and
remain available for each channel’s use. You will be able to save and recall sites to and from the
various channels as long as they share an identical measurement technology (Reflexor, clamp-on,
flowtube, etc.). Be aware, however, that moving a site from one channel to another like this, will likely
require a new initial installation to achieve its best potential. This is especially true if the new target
installation is not on the same pipe or uses another pair of transducers whose nominal characteristics
are identical. Note that datalogger reports will be interleaved in memory and their frequency is controlled by the interval that was selected for each channel. Providing each site with a unique name will
enable you to sort these out when analyzing the data later .
Arithmetic Operation
The dual channel instruments provide a modality of operation which permits the user to arithmetically
combine (through addition or subtraction) the results of the two independent measurement channels.
Installation of each channel is done via the dual channel menu. Site Saving andRecalling automatically recall the contributing sites. While the displays for each physical channel provide you all the data
(flow rate, totals, etc.) that are provided via independent channel operation, user Input/Output is largely
oriented toward the virtual channel - Channel 3.
Multi-Path Operation
In many cases, the performance of an ultrasonic transit time meter can be improved by allowing it to
interrogate the flow field with more than one beam. Imperfect flow profile conditions such as non-axial,
cross-flow or an off-center higher-rate flow core, which can cause a single path machine to mis-report
the flow rate, are often remedied in this way . The multi-p ath installation is similar to arithmetic operation; except for the fact that the virtual, or output channel has pipe dimension attributes (which in the
arithmetic meter channel it does not). This means that when you install a multi-path meter, pipe datamust be installed in Path 1 and Path 2. Your 1010 meter facilitates this by copying pipe data that you
installed as Path 1 and Path 2 data to the other paths. It is seldom, if ever , necessary to “trim” the pipe
data for the individual path channels - although you may install different size or type transducers for
each path. Once you define the pipe, move the menu to the individual paths using Select Path for the
physical installation of each channel. This is accomplished in the same way that individual channels
are installed.
Save andRestore Operations for multi-path sites execute on all the component channels simultaneously; the individual paths of multi-path sites do not have any existence or autonomy as
single channel sites. You will also find that individual path channels possess a reduced set of user-accessible menu functions. For example, although you may zero each individual path, the meter
provides Kc control (slope correction) for the virtual channel (system channel) only. You will find that
the features and functions provide for each physical channel to focus mainly on the physical measure-
1-10
1010NFM-3JSection 1
ment task. User output data, however, is mostly reserved for the virtual or system channel. This includes the totalizer functions. Analog data is largely reserved for the virtual or system channel as well
as the totalizer functions, analog outputs and datalogger. In some instances, access is also provided
to the path channel’s data in order to facilitate the gathering of diagnostic information; thus minimizing
menu clutter, but preserving as much functionality as practicable. Totalizer control via lead-in function
key is provided by F3 (dual-path meter) and, since there is no F5, F1 (four-path version). The Diagnostic Menu area has been similarly setup to provide data (Path 1, Path 2 and Path 1 and 2) generated by
the physical measurement channels when selected, but, to suppress elements only provided by the
virtual channel. As mentioned above, use a p artially installed multipath site in order to direct all meter
input/output to a single measurement path. Simply install the single available physical path and you’ll
produce data based on only this physical input and obtain the same functionality as provided to the
single channel user.
Selecting A Meter Type
The following example explains how to select a dual-channel clamp-on meter and initiate site programming for the measurement channel. Y our [Meter Type] selection, as well as other menu selections, are
“remembered” through power cycles.
NOTE: If you have a single-channel system, all you have to do is select a measurement tech-
nology and then go directly to Channel Setup. The site setup procedure for a singlechannel system is identical to setting up a measurement channel on a dual-channel
system.
As shown in the steps below , selecting this mode only requires key presses. This
is because dual-channel clamp-on is the default configuration for this instrument. To
select a different configuration, move the cursor to the desired Meter Type and then
press to select it.
ENT
Make sure that the keypad enable switch is in the [Enable-Up] position. T urn on power

1.8USING FASTSTART SETUP
The dual-channel clamp-on mode offers a choice of using FastS tart Setup or Full Site Setup to create
your site setup. As its name implies, FastStart Setup is a quick way to start up the meter. FastStart
inserts default settings into all applicable menu cells. However, these can be edited later via the Full
Site Setup menu. In order to use FastStart Setup:
zY our pipe must be included on the meter’s pre-set pipe table.
zYour liquid is water, or has similar sonic characteristics.
FastStart setup is actually a shortcut to these two menu locations (where dat a entry is mandatory for a
successful start-up):
zPipe Data: The Pipe Data Menu is limited to the selection of pipe pre-sets only. There
are no provisions for manual pipe editing.
zPick Install Xdcr: This is the same menu as Full Menu Setup (see paragraph 1.7).
1.8.1 CHOOSING THE PIPE CLASS/SIZE
Press to access [FastSt art Setup]. This selects [Choose Pipe Class]. There are over sixty English
and metric pipe sizes for eight different classes of pipes. Picking a pipe class and size automatically
sets all the required pipe parameters using industry standard dimensional data.
Press to access the Pipe Class option list. Note that although [Manual Entry] exists on this
list, it is inactive for FastSt art Setup (see p aragraph 2.2.1).

Now, we will select and install the transducers.
Siemens
1.8.2 PICKING AND INSTALLING THE TRANSDUCERS
Press to access the Pick/Install Xdcr menu, then select the appropriate T ransducer Model. The
meter then analyzes your pipe data and registered transducer list before calculating the recommended
transducer size(s). The top-line prompt shows a series of transducer recommendations, that are
listed in order of priority from left to right. Select the appropriate transducer size with consideration
given to the computed transducer recommendations. In the example below we will install the “B3”
transducer size.
After you make your transducer selection, the meter automatically computes the preferred mounting
mode and transducer spacing index.
Siemens
NOTE: The meter only indicates the part number of the 1011 Universal Transducer mounting
track or spacer bar. It does not indicate this information for other transducer types.
Note the Number Index value.
This value corresponds to the index marked on the spacer bar or mounting track. The value of Ltn
represents the actual distance in inches or mm, between the front surfaces of the upstream and
downstream transducers.
1-16
1010NFM-3JSection 1
Siemens
NOTE: You are allowed to override the transducer type and size mounting mode and spacing
offset. See paragraph 1.7.
Now you have to mount the transducers in accordance with the data recommended on the screen.
Refer to the Section 3 for detailed instructions. The pipe must be completely filled with a liquid for the
initial installation of the meter . Make sure that you do not install your transducers backwards or reverse
the Upstream and Downstream cables.
Siemens
Use the [Install Completed?] menu cell to inform the meter that you have finished mounting the
hardware. Press . Move the cursor to [Install]. Press .
ENT
The meter performs an Initial Makeup which conditions its operation to the selected transducer, pipe
and liquid and then sets the empty pipe and the zero flow levels automatically. Be patient! The Initial
Makeup performs a number of operations including a frequency sweep of the pipe wall resonance,
which could take several minutes.
Siemens

1010NFM-3JSection 1
Upon completion, the meter reports the measured liquid sonic velocity . Press . The flowmeter will
then automatically perform an AutoZero operation, where the meter measures any zero flow offset,
which is used to correct the flow reading. This operation occurs only when the transducers are mounted
in the reflect configuration and is independent of whether or not the liquid is flowing.
After the AutoZero operation is complete, the meter may ask you to register the transducer used in this
installation. It is advisable that you register your transducers, since the registration list is used to
condition the transducer recommendation.
Press and select [YES], or [NO] if you do not want to register this transducer and then,
press .

2.THE 1010N INSTALLATION MENU
Programming System 1010N requires no special experience or training. This field manual contains all
the necessary information. If you intend to connect this instrument to an external device, then please
have the instruction manual for the device available for reference. The following paragraphs present a
generic menu reference that applies to all configurations of 1010 NEMA meters. Please refer to the
Reflexor and Flow Tube sections for instructions specific to those operating modes.
This section contains a general description of how to enter site setup data via the 1010N Installation
Menu. It assumes that you have already selected a meter type as described in the Getting Started
section. For convenience, it presents the Installation Menu in the same sequence as it appears on the
menu screen. Please note, however, that it is not necessary to program the meter sequentially.
The conventions used with these instructions are:
zWhen the text refers to a keypad key, it will be enclosed in “less than” (<) and “greater than” (>)
symbols: e.g., <MENU>, <ENT>, <Up Arrow>, etc. Where a visual of the key is shown; this means
press this key.
zWhen the text refers to a menu or menu cell name, it will be enclosed with square brackets: e.g.,
[Pipe Data], [Channel Enable], etc.
zEach menu includes an image of its main screen and a diagram of its structure. The rightmost
column of the structure diagram lists the option list choices of the menu cell, if applicable.
General Installation Menu Notes:
zIf a power failure occurs while you are entering or editing data, the entered data may not be retained
in Active Memory.
zAlthough you can operate the meter immediately after completion of the site setup, we recommend
that you preserve your settings by saving them under a site name. Site data can be saved at any
time before invoking either the [Recall Site Setup] or the [Create/Rename Site] commands. When
issued, these commands overwrite all data present in Active Memory .
zWe do not recommend that you attempt to operate the flowmeter at a new site by recalling and then
editing an existing site setup. Each site must have its own set of transducer install parameters,
even if the data from the recalled site setup is identical. Always issue the [Create/Rename Site] to
begin a new site setup. This will fill all the menu cells with defaults to eliminate the possibility of
retaining unwanted parameters.
zThe meter allows you to create your own personal site setup defaults. After creating asite setup
and editing default parameters as desired, save the site using the name [FASTSTRT]. The next
time you issue the Create/Name Site command, your custom parameters will become the system’s
defaults.

2.1.1 HOW TO RECALL A SITE SETUP
The Recall Site command allows you to reinstall the system at a former site. For an original installation, see Create/Name Site for instructions on how to create a new Site Setup. This menu cell provides
a list of saved site names. Scrolling to a site name and pressing <ENT> moves all the parameters
associated with that name into Active Memory.
If there are no site setups present in site storage memory , the menu cell reports [No Sites] in the righthand column. Saving a site setup with a site name adds the name to this option list. The first selection
2-2
Section 2
1010NFM-3J
on the list is the currently active Site Setup. The system will be ready for operation after you install the
transducers and make the required hardware connections. Note that the installed transducers must
comply with the recalled site parameters.
To recall a Saved Site Setup: (Where a visual of the keys is shown; this means press this key)

were in the previous install.
If you cannot recreate the original transducer installation, then press to change the pop-up list
from [Original] to [New].
Press . This disables the measurement channel until you repeat the Pick/Install Transducer rou-
ENT
tine.
2.1.2 HOW TO ENABLE AND DISABLE A MEASUREMENT CHANNEL
The flow computer disables a measurement channel until the completion of the required Site Setup
entries and the transducer installation procedure. The meter enables the measurement channel automatically after it receives all required site data and completes the transducer install routine. (The Site
Enable menu cell allows you to disable or enable a measurement channel after there has been a
successful transducer install).
The system does not require your presence for routine operation. If a fault condition (e.g., an empty
pipe) disrupts operation, the system will recover automatically after the fault clears. Use Channel Enable [No] to turn off a channel that is currently unused but active; for example, if the transducers have
been removed for servicing.

NOTE: If you decide to use numbers in the site name, you can type these characters directly
from the keypad.
2.1.4 HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE SITE SECURITY
With Site Security enabled, the meter will require a password before it allows any activity that could
interrupt or affect system operation. You can still access the Installation Menu. However , Site Security
limits access to the viewing of parameters only . In other words, you will still be able to review site dat a,
but you will not be able to make any changes.
Activate Site Security with care. Once activated, the only way to deactivate it is via the Site Security

2.2THE PIPE DATA MENU
This menu becomes available after picking a Meter Type, Measurement Channel and Measurement
Technology. We recommend that you edit the Pipe Data immediately after creating a new Site Setup.
The Pipe Data menu allows you to define the application’s pipe parameters. Select a pipe from one of
the meter’s stored pipe tables (see menu structure below); or input the pipe size and description
manually. Manual entries include Pipe Material, Outer Diameter (OD) and pipe Wall Thickness. Liner
Material and Liner Thickness entries are included to support pipes with liners. The meter requires the
pipe outer diameter (OD) and wall thickness to operate. You must define these parameters to complete the installation.
The pipe table includes descriptions for over sixty standard pipes plus any user-entered pipes (see
Meter Facilities). To use these presets, first pick a Pipe Class (e.g., ASA Stainless Steel), then pick a
pipe size within that class (e.g., 4SS10). When you select a particular pipe class/size, the relevant pipe
parameters appear in the Pipe Data menu cells. If a given pipe class/size does not match your application exactly you can still edit each individual parameter to fine-tune your selection. In addition, the Meter
Facilities section of the Installation Menu provides a pipe table editor that allows you to customize any
or all of the stored pipe tables.
NOTE: If you edit the pipe parameters after the system is operating, you will have to repeat
the transducer install procedure.

How to Edit the Estimated Vs (liquid sonic velocity)
During transducer installation, the flow computer bases its initial transducer spacing recommendation
on the value stored in this menu cell. Estimated Vs m/s allows you to review and modify (if necessary)
the Vs value for the liquid class you selected.After you install the transducers, the computer will measure Vs directly . If the displayed (or edited) Vs stored in this menu cell is accurate, the transducers will
be spaced correctly. This will eliminate the need to re-space the transducers after their initial installation. However, if the estimated Vs is subst antially different from the measured value, the computer will
request you to re-space the transducers during the transducer install procedure.
NOTE: During the Xdcr install procedure (see paragraph 2.4), you can ignore a respacing
request by pressing the <Down Arrow> instead of <ENT>. If this triggers a Spacing
Alarm, check [Diagnostic Data/Site Setup Data] to make sure the measured Vs value
does not exceed the Vs max or Vs min items.

How to Edit the Viscosity (cS) Setting
The [Viscosity cS] menu cell shows the kinematic viscosity of the selected liquid (in centistokes). The
viscosity value is particularly important for high viscosity liquids. The meter requires an accurate liquid
viscosity to compute the flow profile compensation. If the displayed viscosity is correct, bypass this
menu cell by pressing the <Down Arrow>. Please be aware that the viscosity of the liquid affects the
Reynolds Number compensation applied to the final rate output. Therefore, inaccurate data could
cause flow data errors. Edit this entry only if you know the true viscosity of your liquid. If necessary , our
Technical Service Group can provide reliable viscosity data for most liquids.
To edit the Viscosity setting:
To activate numeric entry press
Use the numeric keys to type the Viscosity value, which must be in centistokes.

ENT
How to Edit the Density (SG) Setting
Use the [Density SG] menu cell to edit the nominal specific gravity of the selected liquid. This allows the
flow computer to provide a flow rate output in mass units, if required. This mode suits applications
where the density is not only known, but also fixed, due to well-controlled liquid temperature and chemistry . The default specific gravity setting is 1.000. The flow computer uses the liquid’ s specific gravity to
form a multiplier for the conversion of volumetric flow to mass flow. Mass flow appears (in selected
units) on the display screen. [Density SG] (as it applies to this system) is defined as the ratio of the
mass of this liquid to the mass of an equal volume of water at 20°C or 68°F.

2.3.2 UniMass TABLE
Some 1010 family meters provide a feature we call UniMass. These meters support a UniMass Table
which associates the metered liquid’s current temperature and sonic velocity (Vs) with its specific
gravity and viscosity. These variables are then used to provide mass metering and real-time flow
profile compensation based on Reynold’s numbers. For hydrocarbon liquids requiring standard volume compensation, a 1010DV flowmeter should be specified.
Note that the UniMass option will provide value to the extent that the table is accurately prepared for
your particular liquid and installed correctly . The t able scanning routine can function with as few as two
(completely) defined data points. If the sensed variable(s) assume values beyond the table limits, the
routine does not extrapolate, but rather produces “flat” or “clipped” data, assuming the value of the last
valid table entry.
2-14
Section 2
1010NFM-3J
The table is built by inputting a series of data points—two inputs and two outputs each:
zInput data consists of sonic velocity (Vs) and temperature.
zOutput data consists of specific gravity (S.G.) and viscosity (cS) at the specified Vs and tem-
perature.
Ideally , each point contains four empirically derived values. However , when enough data exist s to permit it, the table editing routine interpolates missing values based on prior user-entered data.
The UniMass feature expands the basic utility of the flowmeter by synergistically combining its ability to
measure sonic velocity and temperature with user-provided data regarding the process liquid or family
of liquids. The resulting instrument is virtually a liquid analyzer , in addition to measuring mass flowrate
and automatically compensating for viscosity variation.
UniMass Table operations are most successfully employed when the application liquids or family of
liquids are fairly well-controlled. Basic table data can be obtained by a variety of means:
zFrom handbooks of physical or chemical data.
zDirectly measured in the laboratory using your 1010, its RTD temperature sensor and a non-
flowing measurement cell (standpipe).
zAfter installation on the process pipe if specific gravity and/or viscosity data regarding the liquid
can be locally obtained via samples or from on-line instrumentation.
Although the UniMass Table is designed to permit both temperature and sonic velocity to be active
input variables, UniMass provides Constant Vs and Constant Temp table editing capabilities as well.
The resulting lookup function then associates specific gravity and/or viscosity with either temperature
or sonic velocity only .
APPLICATION DATA MENU EXPLANATIONS FOR UniMass TABLE
The UniMass Table resides within the Application Data menu, however, in Flow Tube (FT) instrument s
it resides within the [Liquid Data] menu.
[UniMass Table] - Press the <Right Arrow> to access the UniMass data point editor.

[Constant Temp] - Press the <Right Arrow> to access. The [Constant Temp] UniMass Table can be
used for multiple liquid applications with tightly controlled constant temperature or single liquid applications with varying temperature (ideal if temperature is not measured).
This function simply associates changes in liquid sound velocity with changing SG and Viscosity.

zCreate/Edit Table Point [New Point + Points List (1-32)]
You may Create or Edit up to 32 points. If you need support for multiple liquid classes, you may
create additional identical flow sensing sites to accommodate them, altering only the UniMass
Table entries. Then each site may be called up as needed for each liquid.
zVs [Vs Value]
This is the sonic velocity at which the S.G. and Viscosity were measured for this class of liquids.
This data may be obtained from tables of physical constants, measured with your 1010 in a test
cell standpipe while also measuring temperature, or directly measured in the monitored process
line if S.G. and viscosity can also be obtained.
zS.G. [Specific Gravity]
This is the specific gravity of the process liquid at the Vs and Temperature for this table entry. The
specific gravity is defined as the density of the sample divided by the density of water at 20º C (68º F).
zViscosity [Liquid Viscosity (cS)]
This is the viscosity of the process liquid in centistoke units at the Vs and Temperature for this table
entry.
zClear Table [Yes/No]
Use this item to remove all table points. You will need to re-enter all table data if you answer [Y es]
to this menu item.
zT able Active [Yes/No]
Use this item to tell the 1010 meter whether to use the UniMass Table as the source of S.G. and
Viscosity parameters for the currently active site.
[Constant Vs] - Press the <Right Arrow> to access. The [Constant Vs] UniMass Table can be used for
single liquid applications where temperature is directly measured. A vailability of liquid properties relative to temperature greatly simplifies the implementation of this table.
Contains the same menu option list as the [Constant T emp] menu cell above but allows Temperature
input data instead of the Vs (Sonic V elocity).
Alternate Data Entry Method
If you wish, you may input the data table via the meter’s serial port. To accomplish this, the meter must
be in Direct Command Mode (not Menu Mode or Data Display Mode). You can recognize this mode by
noting that the meter responds to a <CR> input with a “? for menu” prompt. The meter will accept a text
file of the correct format into the UniMass table data structure directly.
An example of the format for a four point data file is as follows:
MT ABLE 1 4
1510.0 30.0 1.1 2.7
1520.0 40.0 1.5 3.4
1530.0 50.0 1.9 5.5
1540.0 60.0 2.2 6.8
2-16
Section 2
MTABLE is the special keyword indicating that UniMass data follows, 1 stands for the channel
number where the data is being installed, and 4 indicates the number of lines (data points). The
last number must match the number of lines or else the table will not be correctly formed.
Each line corresponds to each point. Sonic velocity is first, followed by temperature (the input
variables). Then comes specific gravity followed by viscosity (the output variables). Do not use
commas between the items, only single spaces. A carriage return is expected after each line,
EXCEPT for the last one.
For example, line 1 of MT ABLE 1 4 (1510.0 30.0 1.1 2.7) shown above is read as follows:
You may save this file by using a name suggested by the liquid in question. Once the file is saved
use HyperTerminal to send it as a simple text file to the PC serial port of the 1010 flowmeter. It is
suggested that a moderate data rate be used (1200 baud) for this function since the meter is fairly
busy computing and interpolating during the installation of the table.
[Changing Temp & Vs] - Press the <Right Arrow> to access.
1010NFM-3J
The [Changing Temp & Vs] lookup table must be serially loaded using the HyperT erminal “Send Text”

and temperature data into a uniform 10x10 grid array and formats it appropriately for serial download.
Below is a sample input data file for gasoline and diesel fuel that was empirically derived from sound
velocity data obtained using a 1010 flowmeter installed on a fuel pipeline. The task of obtaining sound

2.3.4 PIPE CONFIGURATION
The [Pipe Configuration] menu cell in the Application Dat a menu presents a list of descriptions of piping
configurations that could affect the flow profile characteristics (such as “Single Elbow”). Examine the
option list. Selecting a piping configuration that closely approximates conditions at or near your mounting location allows the flow computer to compensate for the effect of upstream piping on flow profile.
The number of diameters between the upstream configurations and the transducer installation can be

Use this menu after creating a new site setup in the Channel Setup menu, and defining the pipe
parameters in the Pipe Data menu.
Based on pipe data (and optionally application data) entries, the Pick/Install Xdcr menu automatically
identifies the most suitable transducers for the application. It recommends the appropriate mounting
mode (direct or reflect) and lists the Spacer Bar or Mounting Track part number and spacing index.
Ideally , you will be able to use the primary recommendations. However , you can edit the menu entries
as required to accommodate different transducers or mounting configurations.
The flow computer will adjust its parameters to optimize performance based on your selections. The
Ltn menu cell shows the required spacing distance (in inches or millimeters) between the upstream
and downstream transducers. Use the [Install Completed?] menu cell to inform the flow computer that
you completed the physical mounting of the transducers. You can define the empty pipe and zero flow
values once the transducers are operational.

Use the [Transducer Model] menu cell to define the type of transducer for use with your application.
This allows the flow computer to adjust its transmit/receive functions accordingly. You can choose
from either the [101 1 Universal] or [101 1H High Precision] transducer lists, or from a list of [991 Universal] models.
You should consider using high precision transducers for extremely critical applications. We usually
recommend these transducers for custody transfer, leak detection or nuclear power applications. The
system default is [1011 Universal]. If this suits the application, bypass this menu cell by pressing the
<Down Arrow>.

2.4.2 HOW TO SELECT A TRANSDUCER SIZE
When you move the cursor to T ransducer Size, the highlighted prompt at the top of the display screen
shows a list of recommended transducer sizes. For example [Recommended Xdcrs:D3,D2,D1,C1,C3]. The flow computer generates this list automatically based on your pipe and your
application data entries. The left-most transducer size (e.g., D3) is the primary (most appropriate)
choice. The right-most transducer (e.g., C3) is still acceptable (but the least desirable) choice. Since
these are simply recommendations not requirements, you can override the flow computer and use any
size, as long as the mounting method accommodates the pipe’s diameter. The flow computer shows
that your selection is acceptable if it is able to calculate transducer spacing (Ltn).

2.4.3 HOW TO SELECT A TRANSDUCER MOUNT MODE
The flow computer recommends the transducer mounting mode [Direct or Reflect]. In almost all cases
it will be Reflect, since this is the most desirable configuration. Reflect mode allows you to mount the
transducers on pipes that do not permit back or side access. Reflect mode provides inherent compensation for flow profile distortion (crossflow) that could be the result of unfavorable application conditions
such as an insufficient upstream straight run. In addition, Reflect mode supports the AutoZero function,
which sets the zero flow velocity automatically.
Direct mounting may produce a stronger transducer signal and requires less mounting length than
Reflect mounting. This can be important if the liquid or pipe material exhibits high sonic attenuation,
thereby preventing operation in the Reflect configuration.
NOTE: We recommend using Direct Mount with Plastic pipes.

2.4.4 REVIEWING THE SPACING METHOD
The flow computer analyzes your transducer selection, mounting mode and pipe size to determine the
best way to install your transducers. It will recommend the use of either a mounting track, a spacer
bar, or independent mounting. The flow computer will list the part number of a mounting track or spacer
bar. If it decides upon independent mounting, it will report the dist ance required between the two transducers. In this case, you have to make sure that when you mount the transducers, the space between
them equals the length specified in the Ltn menu cell. See Section 3 for details on how to accomplish
this.
2.4.5 HOW TO USE THE SPACING OFFSET
After you select the mounting method, the flow computer checks your entries for pipe size, transducer
type etc. and then recommends a spacing offset. This is the first step in establishing the correct
distance between the transducers. S pacer bars and mounting tracks
simplify transducer placement. One transducer is located at the Reference position, while the other
one is located at the Number Index position. The Number Index cannot be directly edited. However , the
Spacing Offset can be changed via its option list. Changing the Spacing Offset will alter the reported
Number Index. Maximum spacing offset provides moderately greater signal levels but, in some cases,
slightly decreased zero flow stability.
utilize number indices (labels) to
If the flow computer reports “Use Ltn,” you have to measure the distance between the upstream and
downstream transducers. The flow computer issues the actual distance between the transducers in
inches or millimeters (See Ltn). Please consult Section 3 for details on how to use the Ltn measurement. Note that, even though using Ltn does not call for the physical use of the Number Index, you can
still change the Spacing Offset to influence the strength of the transmit signal.
System 1010 uses a pair of precisely matched transducers. Therefore, you can select either one for
the Reference position. You must connect the Up transducer cable to the transducer mounted on the
upstream side of the mounting track. This lets the meter display the flow direction correctly.
It is important that you note each transducer’s serial number and its Index position during the original
installation because to reinstall the flowmeter successfully, you must remount each transducer in its
original position. Transducer pairs have matching serial numbers except for the appended letters “A”
and “B.” This helps you to identify each transducer.

Section 2
1010NFM-3J
2.4.6 THE NUMBER INDEX MENU CELL
Selecting the Spacing Offset allows the flow computer to calculate the Number Index. The Number
Index establishes the spacing between a pair of transducers. You cannot override this recommendation. To complete the transducer installation, you must accept the Number Index by mounting the
transducer at that point on your spacer bar or mounting track. Initially, the flow computer bases its
Number Index selection on the pipe diameter and estimated liquid sonic velocity (Vs) you entered in the
Application Data menu. When you invoke the [Install Completed?] routine, the flow computer actually
measures the liquid sonic velocity (Vs). In some cases, it may prompt you to re-space the transducers
to another number index.
2.4.7 THE Ltn MENU CELL
This view only menu cell shows the distance in inches or millimeters between the front faces of the
transducers along the axis of the pipe. If you are mounting the transducers without a track or spacer
bar, you have to sp ace them according to this value (see Section 3 for details). Note that Ltn may be a
negative number for direct mount on very small pipes where the transducer spacing overlaps.
2.4.8 HOW TO USE [INSTALL COMPLETED?]
Use the [Install Completed?] menu cell to inform the flow computer that you have mounted the transducers according to the selected mode and spacing requirements and are ready to start operation.
To start the [Install Completed?] routine for an original inst allation:
Select any transit-time mode (e.g., Clamp-On or Flow Tube) and press the <Right Arrow>.
Press <Down Arrow> and scroll to the [Pick/Install Xdcr] menu cell. Press <Right Arrow>.
Install transducers as required (refer to Section 3 for procedures).
NOTES
zMount the transducers using the selected mode (direct or reflect). Please refer to the trans-
ducer mounting procedures detailed in Section 3.
zWhen using a mounting track or a spacer bar in reflect mode, locate the first trans-
ducer at the Reference Index and the second transducer at the recommended Number Index.
zIf you are mounting the transducers independently , you must use the recommended dist ance;
Ltn to space the transducers.
zYou must use the proper sonic coupling compound. See “Recommended Sonic Coupling
Compounds” in Section 5 for appropriate type and part number.
zThe pipe must be completely filled with a liquid, which can be either flowing or at zero flow .

Force Transmit Procedure
This diagnostic software routine allows the user to “force” a transmitting condition that can be use to
search for an amplitude level (ALC) when Detection Fault or Low Signal alarms are present. The
routine forces the flowmeter to generate constant transmit bursts while reporting current receive signal
strength for the user. To initiate the Force Transmit function, refer to the example shown below.
1. After [Install] is selected press <ENT>. While the flowmeter is going through the drives (see menu
screen below), press the <ALT> and <MENU> keys simultaneously.

To complete the Install process after mounting the transducers press <ENT>.
Immediately after you press <ENT>, the computer starts an internal process called an Initial Makeup.
The current Initial Makeup activity, for example:Drive 14 m 10 [—] appears at the top of the display
screen. During the Initial Makeup, the flow computer verifies your site data, records the sonic characteristics of the pipe and liquid and then adjusts internal parameters to optimize flow measurement.
Please remain patient. This process can take several seconds or several minutes to complete. There
is no relationship between the length of an Initial Makeup and the meter’s subsequent performance. An
Initial Makeup for larger pipes (and more demanding application conditions) simply takes a little longer .
Upon sucessful completion of the initial makeup, the 1010 will show you a pop-up window with the
measured Vs as shown below.
Measured Vs m/s
1470
This means that the flow computer was able to complete the Initial Makeup and is now actively measuring flow. This pop-up window allows you to “fine-tune” the Measured Vs by pressing the <Right
Arrow> to activate numeric entry. You can then use the numeric keys to type a different value. However, only edit the Measured Vs when you are cert ain of your liquids actual sonic velocity. If, however ,
there is a large discrepancy between the “measured” Vs and the “actual” Vs, then consider that an
accurate Vs measurement depends on certain parameters that the flow computer cannot sense directly (e.g., pipe dimensions or transducer placement). In other words, entering incorrect pipe parameters or not using the recommended spacing could result in an erroneous Vs measurement.
The meter is now ready to report flow. Press the <MENU> key to display flow.
In cases where the actual Vs differs noticeably from the estimated Vs, the computer may issue a respace command. This requires that you re-space the Number Index transducer at the new Number
Index, then press <ENT> again. Repeat the initial makeup process. You can override a re-space
command by simply keying the [Down Arrow]. However, after the meter completes operating, you
must confirm that the sonic velocity (Vs) of the liquid falls between the [Vs max] and [Vs min] items in
[Diagnostic Data/Site Setup Data].
Therefore, only consider editing the measured Vs after you remove all the primary causes for an
inaccuracy. Check your pipe dimensions and pipe material entries. Re-check the transducer spacing
and part numbers. Large Vs discrepancies are almost always due to erroneous pipe data or incorrect
transducer placement.

2.4.10 ZERO FLOW ADJUST MENU
Unlike turbine meters ultrasonic transit-time meters provide active flow measurement right down to
zero flow, however , the measurement of the transit-time delta is dependent on the similarity or “match”
of the electronics, cables and ultrasonic transducers. Consequently some flow offset (or zero offset)
may be present in any installation. To eliminate this residual zero offset Controlotron has developed
several different methods to insure proper zero flow compensation. The following paragraphs describe each method and when they should be used.
AutoZero
When the 101 1 transducers are mounted in the Reflect Mode configuration (see paragraph 3.1.5) the
AutoZero routine is automatically invoked at the end of the Initial Makeup. Flow does not have to be
stopped to perform AutoZero since only the pipe wall signal is used in determining the zero of fset and
not the liquid component. The AutoZero routine performs a one-time analysis of the pipe wall component of the ultrasound signal to quantify any residual mismatch in the hardware. Once the AutoZero
routine is complete, the system memorizes this measured zero offset and subtracts this value from
the flow reading.
2-30
Section 2
1010NFM-3J
Actual Zero
The “Actual Zero” function simply averages the indicated “zero flow” readings (over a user defined time
period) then stores this average value in memory . Under normal operation the indicated flow reading is
zero compensated by simply subtracting this memorized value from the uncompensated flow reading.
Actual Zero is the most positive method for zeroing the system, however, flow must be stopped with theline blocked (if possible) before invoking this function. If stopping flow is not possible then an alternate
zeroing method should be selected.
ReversaMatic
This routine involves swapping the UP and Down transducers on the pipe (while keeping the cables
attached) such that the difference in the transit-time change represents the zero offset. The fixed zero
offset value is stored in memory in the same manner as described in Actual Zero. This routine would
generally be used whenever flow cannot be stopped and the transducers
cannot be mounted in the
Reflect Mode configuration. Flow must be stable during the entire process.
ZeroMatic (not present in MultiPulse operation)
When ZeroMatic is invoked the flowmeter first performs the same analysis as described above in the
AutoZero routine. However, after this analysis is complete the flowmeter continues to interrogate the
pipe wall signal and update the zero offset value under normal operation, such that the flowmeter
dynamically compensates for changing conditions which would normally result in zero drift. ZeroMatic
will only operate with the transducers mounted in the Reflect Mode configuration and is recommended
for applications which experience large temperature extremes.
NOTE: Invoking ZeroMatic will clear any existing “fixed” or memorized zero offset. If any zero
offset remains after flow is stopped, an Actual Zero can be performed without interrupting ZeroMatic operation. T o disable ZeroMatic, invoke it again, but then press <Lef t
Arrow> to abort the installation.
NOTE: The ZeroClr command only resets the memorized zero offset registers not those set
when the AutoZero routine is invoked.
Using Actual Zero
NOTE: Flow must be stopped with the line blocked (if possible) before invoking this function.
To invoke Actual Zero:
Access the [Zero Flow Adjust] option list by pressing
Press . A pop-up window prompts you to set the current flow rate (in selected
ENT
rate units) to equal zero (0.000).
NOTE: If a flow offset is desired (i.e., to test analog outputs) then press <Right Arrow> to
enable numeric entry.
Press to start the Actual Zero process.
ENT
2-31
1010NFM-3JSection 2
When you send the command, the flow computer analyzes the current flow rate for up to sixty seconds, integrating (averaging) the data for the best zero correlation. During this time, the menu prompt
at the top of the display screen shows a timer that counts from zero to sixty. You can allow zero
averaging for the entire period, or cancel the process at any time by pressing the <ENT> key. This
controls the amount of data the meter averages to obtain a zero level.
Using ReversaMatic
If site conditions do not permit stopping the flow rate at the mounting location, and Reflect Mount is not
possible, then use the ReversaMatic routine to establish the zero flow level.
To invoke ReversaMatic:
zTo access the [Zero Flow Adjust] option list press
zMove the cursor to [ReversaMatic]. Press to invoke the routine.
zThe meter begins to measure the positive flow rate. “Positive” flow refers to flow moving from
ENT
upstream transducer location to the downstream transducer location. Note top prompt line shows:
Reversamatic Action
zUpon completion, the meter beeps and the display screen shows:
Reverse Xdcrs / Press ENT.
zNow remove then remount the upstream and downstream transducers in their reversed positions.
Mount the Up transducer (without removing its cable) in the Down transducer/cable location. Mount
Down transducer with its cable in the Up transducer/cable location. When remounting the transducers, couple them to the pipe properly. Press <ENT> (after re-installing the transducers).
zThe flow computer measures the negative flow rate briefly, then beeps and repeats the
Reverse Xdcrs / Press ENT prompt.
zNow remount the transducers for normal operation (in their original orientation). When remounting
transducers, couple them to the pipe properly. Press <ENT> (after re-installing the transducers).
This completes the ReversaMatic procedure. The system’s zero accuracy will be very close to that
obtainable using the Actual Zero method, providing flow remained constant during this procedure.
Important Note: A caution on the use of upper and lower flow limits (used to prevent flow mis-registration) prior to using the Reversal Zero technique (Reversamatic): If the negative flow rate that the meter
reads in the step during which the transducers are reversed is more negative than the lower flow limit,
the meter will re-register positive and the Reversal Zero cycle will thus be corrupted.
Therefore, postpone the installation of upper and lower flow limits until the reversal zero procedure is
executed successfully . For pipes that combine large diameters with very high flow velocities, it may be
necessary to move the upper and lower flow limits out of the way until the reversal zero is completed.
Moreover, pipes of this size frequently have excellent intrinsic zero performance and may not even
need zeroing.

2.5THE OPERATION ADJUST MENU
This menu becomes available after picking a meter type and measurement channel. We recommend that you use it after the transducers are installed and operating to “fine-tune” the meter’s
output characteristics.
Each application presents different data display and output requirements due to unique pipe and liquid
conditions. Use the Operation Adjust menu to match meter operation to the site. You can set damping
controls for the primary flow rate output. You can define a Deadband, (usually a very low flow rate),
below which, the flow output will be forced to zero. You can also select the meter response to a
continuous Fault condition.

System 1010 provides two different data output filter types, SmartSlew and Time Average (recommended). SmartSlew provides the best combination of data smoothing and quick response to sudden
rate changes. It performs data scatter damping during steady flow periods while maintaining the ability
to respond instantaneously to changing flow rates. SmartSlew values range from [1 to 9]. The default
is [6]. Pick a higher number to slow meter response to a rate change. Time Average integrates the
instantaneous flow rate over a selectable time period. You enter a value (in seconds), which sets the
time it takes the meter to respond to a rate change. The default is 10 seconds. Enter any amount of
time up to 60 seconds maximum.

2.5.2DEADBAND CONTROL
Use Deadband Control to instruct the meter to report zero flow if the flow rate falls below a specified
level (usually a very low rate). It will prevent the possibility of data scatter (a natural result of digital
computation) from causing false totalizer accumulation during long non-flowing periods. Inspect the
actual data scatter during zero flow conditions to find the proper deadband setting for your application.

2.5.3 MEMORY/FAUL T SET
Certain situations (e.g., an empty pipe or excessive aeration) will interrupt data production. Use Memory/
Fault Set to select the meter response to such an interruption. The Fault setting (default) will zero the
flow rate output and declare an alarm on a flow display screen, Datalogger report and an assigned
relay output.
For some applications, occasional temporary Fault conditions may be a normal part of the process
and would not require an alarm response. The system offers a Memory operating mode to support
such an application. Memory Mode suspends the system’s Fault response by preventing the flow
outputs from dropping to zero for the interval specified in the [Memory Delay] menu cell. During the
Memory duration, the meter will maintain the last valid flow reading measured before the onset of the
fault condition. The default Memory Delay is 60 seconds. Y ou may select any duration from 3 to 604,800
seconds (one week).

The System 1010 Reflexor declares a Fault when the receive signal drops below the Doppler detection
threshold. To change the Reflexor response to a Zero Flow indication rather than a Fault, select [Zero]
in the [Zero/Fault Set] menu option. Note the following:
a. FAULT – When selected the system will declare the Reflexor channel to be in Fault and the
flowmeter will indicate “F” on the display screen. Note that when a new Reflexor channel is created
the [Fault] option is the default mode. Also note that the sum (or difference) channel will also be
declared to be in Fault.
b. ZERO – When selected the Reflexor channel will be declared to be at Zero Flow instead of in
Fault and the flowmeter will indicate 0.00 on the display screen.

ENT
2.6.7 TOT AL RESOLUTION
The meter assigns multiplier prefixes for the flow total units you selected (e.g., MGPM). It provides
three resolution (or capacity) levels. Therefore, actual Totalizer display units depend on the selected
multiplier. Check the tot al units by accessing the [Totalizer Scale] menu cell.
If you use the totalizer (TOTCNT) relay output, take into account:
a) The TOTCNT relay output pulses at a maximum rate of .5 pulses per sec. (.5 Hz).
b) The meter sends a totalizer output pulse for every advance of the rightmost visible
totalizer digit.
It is possible for a high flow rate to persist long enough to exceed the relay output’s .5 Hz rate. If this
occurs, the meter will store excess pulses in an overflow buffer , and route them back to the relay when
the flow rate drops enough to allow the TOTCNT output to catch-up. Exceeding the .5 Hz rate for long
periods could cause an excessive accumulation of buffered pulses and continue to trip the relay after
the flow rate lessens, or even stops. If this occurs, the meter will be unable to indicate the current flow
total. Therefore, select a resolution to ensure that, even at the maximum expected flow rate, the TOTCNT
pulse will not be activated more than .5 times per second for any appreciable length of time. Note that
resetting the Totalizer also clears the overflow buffer.

2.6.9 BATCH/SAMPLE TOTAL
The meter maintains a separate totalizer register for Batching or Sampling applications. Unlike the
Flow Total registers, you cannot access this register directly. It is used for relay control only. If you
assign the system relay to this function, a momentary (200 mS) relay pulse occurs whenever the
BA TCHTOT register accumulates a specified liquid quantity . You enter the total flow volume required to
activate the relay in the Batch/Sample Total menu cell. The numeric entry must reflect the selected
flow total units. The Totalizer Display Scaling menu cell shows the applicable flow total units. The sign
of the Batch/Sample Total determines positive or negative accumulation.
NOTE: The Batch/Sample total relay requires the same consideration for exceeding the
maximum pulse rate as the TOTCNT relay (see Total Resolution).

The minimum and maximum flow rate entries establish the Vfo span.
The [Max Flow] menu cell sets 100% of span. The [Min Flow] menu cell
sets 0% of span. Use signed numbers for bi-directional spanning. Note
that negative (reverse) flow always is lower than positive flow, whatever
its absolute magnitude. For example, for a flow measurement range of 30 GPM to +10 GPM, the 4 mA span will be -30 GPM, and the 20 mA
span will be +10 GPM.
Vfab is the absolute magnitude of the volumetric flow rate (Vfo). There
are no menu cells provided to span this output. Vfab shares the Vfo
span entries. The Vfab minimum span is always zero. The maximum
span for Vfab is the largest absolute value of either the min. or the max.
flow rate (Vfo) entries. For example, a span between +10 GPM and -30
GPM, spans the Vfab output from 0 GPM to 30 GPM.
Vs is the sonic velocity in meters-per-second (m/s) of the flowing liquid.
The min. and max. Vs entries establish the Vs span. Max Vs (m/s)
defines 100% of span. The Min Vs (m/s) defines 0% of span.

Aeration %
The System 1010 surpasses all other transit-time systems in its ability to operate with substantial
aeration (caused by entrained gases, mixing condition or cavitation). Some applications may require
an alarm indication if aeration exceeds a particular level. The meter detects this aeration level and
provides this data as an output. The aeration percentage triggers the alarm relay whenever it meets or
exceeds the threshold you set in this menu cell. The aeration percentage (Vaer %) appears in the
Liquid Data section of the Diagnostic Menu. The digital display screen also shows the current aeration
percentage.

Makeup Latch
A fault condition (caused by an empty pipe or a transient loss of power , etc.) could temporarily interrupt
operation. Af ter recovery from the fault, the meter executes an in-process makeup to restore operating
parameters. During the makeup, the meter sets a Makeup Alarm flag, which clears upon completion.
Therefore, unless you were monitoring the unit continuously , you could miss the fact that an In-process
Makeup occurred. The Makeup Alarm Latch alerts you that the system implemented a Makeup by
holding the Makeup Alarm active until you reset it manually by the simultaneous keystrokes: <Fn>6
(where “n” represents the measurement channel). In addition, if the Datalogger is active with Status
Alarms selected, generating a Datalogger report will reset the Makeup Alarm Latch. This ensures that
the Alarm does not appear on succeeding Dat alogger reports. A Makeup Alarm appearing on a subsequent report indicates that an In-Process Makeup must have occurred since the last Datalogger report.

2.7.3 CALIBRATE FLOW RATE
The 1010’s intrinsic calibration is excellent as confirmed by numerous laboratory and field trials under
diverse application conditions. We thus can confidently say that in any given application, the majority of
conventional flowmeters can not match the system’s measurement range or its linearity. Some applications may require an output adjustment to match an official external reference. The Calibrate Flow
Rate menu allows you to select a calibration mode. The right-hand column shows the active calibration
mode. You can select Intrinsic (factory), Kc (Slope Correction) or Multipoint (Non-linear) Calibration.
Selecting either of the external calibration modes will not eliminate the Intrinsic (factory) calibration. Y ou
can use this menu cell to switch between Intrinsic, Kc or Multipoint at any time.
Kc Calibration
For most applications, the measured flow range produces a linear meter response. Therefore, the Kc
(slope correction) calibration is the preferred method since it only requires a single correction factor for
all the flow rates encountered. Changing the calibration can cause profound changes in a flowmeter’s
operating characteristics. Use only the most respected flow standard to obtain a correction factor . The
percentage you enter must provide an accurate and consistent shift across the entire flow range
anticipated for the application.
To obtain the Kc factor, compare flow total data taken simultaneously from the 1010 and a reference
meter whose accuracy meets the required standard. Allow both meters to accumulate flow total data
long enough to average out any differences due to flow fluctuation between the two meter locations.
Compare outputs of the two totalizers to determine percentage increase (+) or decrease (-) that is
necessary to produce the best average correlation between System 1010 and the reference standard.
For example, entering [-0.29] will produce a reduction of 0.29% in the calibration at all flow rates.
NOTE: Always enter the + or - sign first.

MultiPoint calibration serves applications that require a non-linear meter calibration. You can enter
correction factors for up to ten significant points over the entire measurement range. This is accomplished by:
(a) Selecting up to 10 separate calibration points by entering a raw (un-calibrated) flow rate.
(b) Entering a negative or positive correction for each calibration point that you select.
2-48
Section 2
1010NFM-3J
Like the Kc slope correction described in the previous section, you locate critical flow rate points by
comparing flow total data taken simultaneously from the 1010N and a reference meter whose accuracy meets the required standard. Again, it is important to note that you must allow both meters to
accumulate flow total data for long enough to average out any differences due to flow fluctuation between the meter locations.
Compare the two flow total readings to identify up to ten separate points (termed raw flow rates) where
there are significant deviations between System 1010N and the reference meter. Calculate correction
factors (either negative or positive percentages) for up to ten points along the flow range. For example,
entering [-0.1] for point 1 produces a negative 0.1% change in the meter output whenever the system
measures the raw flow rate specified for point 1, etc. The valid range for each percent correction is
from -50% to +50%. If you enter a value outside of this range, the flow computer will set the calibration
factor to the nearest limit.
Use these to match System 1010N’s output with the reference meter’s response curve. Selected
calibration points must increase in magnitude from point 1 to point 10 (or the last point that you wish to
calibrate).
NOTE: You must enter the raw flow rates in ascending order.

P ......Pig ...................... Pig passage detected (optional)
Z.......ZeroMatic ............ ZeroMatic signal fault
NOTE: The time interval-based Datalogger records the state of all the alarms at the selected
report time only. Therefore, if an alarm condition resets before the report time, it
would not appear on the report. Use Datalogger Events to log transient alarms. This
mode generates a report upon the detection of an alarm event.

2.9.3 LOG TIME INTERVAL
The Datalogger records a “snapshot” of conditions at each log time interval. Datalogging uses a considerable amount of RAM, so only select short log intervals if it is fully justified.
NOTE: The meter maps the first Datalogger report time to an even division of its clock. Sub-
sequent reports will conform to the selected interval.

2.9.4 DATALOGGER EVENTS
System 1010 offers “event-based” data logging that operates concurrently with “time interval” based
data logging. The event-based function generates a Datalogger report upon the triggering of any of the
alarms. This is useful for recording transient alarms (e.g., a liquid interface, or a short aeration alert.)
2-55
1010NFM-3JSection 2
NOTE: An Alarm Event report will be generated immediately after the transition from a non-
alarm to an alarm event. The reverse situation (alarm state to non-alarm state) does
not trigger the event-based Datalogger.
Event-based Datalogger messages conserve memory. However, if you use this feature to monitor a
level such as Flow Alarm, set the alarm threshold high enough to avoid repetitive triggering. You must
select Site ID (Name) and Time to “time-st amp” the alarm event s. Note that on the Dat alogger report,
a [-] represents a reserved letter code space (inactive alarm) and a letter code represents an active
alarm.
To select Datalogger Event items:
To access the [Datalogger Events] option list press . Move cursor to desired item by
pressing then press to select it. Note that a plus sign(+) appears before the

Important point about Datalogger resources and dual-channel systems.
When logging data on both measurement channels simultaneously, the Datalogger stores reports in
a single common file. It is important that you select Site ID to appear on each line of data so that you

2.10.2 RELAY SETUP
Use this menu to assign a function to channel relays. System 1010 supports 2 types of relay outputs,
Alarm Relay and Pulse Relay . Alarm Relay outputs operate in “fail-safe” mode. The relay(s) are energized under normal conditions - an alarm condition causes the relay(s) to de-energize until alarm
clears. The Pulse Relay output supports totalizer and batch relay functions. Output is a pulse width
approximately 200 ms; maximum activation rate is 2.5 pulses per sec. If totalizer pulses exceed this
rate, excess pulses are stored in an overflow register. This allows the relay to “catch up” when flow
decreases enough.
