Description

3.1 FUP1010 features

Description

The Siemens SITRANS FUP1010 Weatherproof IP67 Portable flow meters achieve highly accurate flow measurements using ultrasonic transit-time technology. The sensors are mounted on the outside of the pipe, preventing contact with the medium. This means no cavities or clogging by high paraffin liquids found in many hydrocarbon applications.

The sensors offer superior performance in terms of volumetric flow accuracy, density accuracy, and turn-down ratio. The sensor construction makes installation and commissioning of even the largest sizes very straight forward and easy.

The sensors deliver true multi parameter measurements i.e.: volume flow and temperature.

The flow meter has a degree of protection of IP67.

Note

This operating Instructions manual applies to the following FUP1010 IP67 (weather proof) operating systems: Version 3.02.00K and later and version 4.03.00 and later.

Portable Configurations

The FUP1010 weatherproof single and dual channel flow meters use a compact and rugged submersible, weatherproof case. The following portable models are available:

  • FUP1010 Weatherproof Single Channel Multi-Function Portable
  • FUP1010 Weatherproof Dual Channel/Dual Path Multi-Function Portable

3.2 Applications

Channel Functions

The system software allows simultaneous operation of one channel in the Transit-Time mode and the other in Reflexor mode.

Transit-Time Mode

All SITRANS F 1010 models use transit-time flow measurement technology varying only in functionality and environmental housing.

Reflexor Mode

The SITRANS F 1010 transit-time flow meter is highly resistant to the effects of liquid nonhomogeneity caused by the inclusion of air or solid particulate. However, sonic beam scattering may occur when mineral-based solids or gaseous content is a high percentage of the volume. This can cause difficulty in operation due to signal attenuation. Liquid conditions that may be unsuitable for transit-time operation can be measured using the Reflexor mode. Dual channel portable systems allow operation with one transit-time channel and one Reflexor channel measuring flow on the same pipe.

3.2 Applications

Measurement of Liquids

SITRANS F flow meters are designed for measurement of a variety of liquids and gases. The transmitters are multi-parameter devices offering accurate measurement of mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature.

Typical Applications

The typical applications of the flowmeter are:

  • Fuel Flow Measurement
  • Hydraulic Oil Leak Detection
  • Measurement of Additives
  • Oil & Gas: Filling of gas bottles, furnace control, CNG-dispensers, test separators
  • Crude Oil
  • Finished Hydrocarbon Products
  • Fuel Oil
  • Bunker Fuel

Description

3.3 Theory of Operation

Typical Industries Serviced

  • HVAC (Hotels, Airports, Government)
  • Power Generation (Nuclear, Fossil, and Hydro)
  • Chemical Processing
  • Food and Pharmaceutical
  • Aircraft Avionics and Ground Support
  • Water and Wastewater
  • Aerospace
  • Automobile Manufacturing
  • Hydrocarbon Industries

3.3 Theory of Operation

The liquid flow meter relies on the MultiPulse transit. Two WideBeam ultrasonic sensors per measuring path, alternating as transmitter and receiver, are used to interrogate the liquid flowing within the metering section. The resulting time of arrival for each direction of transmit (upstream and downstream) is then measured using a highly accurate and stable digital signal processing method.

Using this detection scheme, the flow meter is capable of resolving the relative transit-time difference (dT) to within ±100 psec. Considering typical liquid flow transit-time differences ranging from 1x104 to 1x106 psec, the flow meter is capable of providing an exceptional turn-down ratio. The flow meter also incorporates a correlation technique which enables the system to detect very high flow velocities with the same high degree of resolution. The ultrasonic sensors are designed with sufficient beam divergence characteristics to insure that the receive sensor will always have sufficient signal to maintain operation under conditions of high beam blowing associated with high flow velocities.

With accurate signal arrival time available, the flow meter can compute the raw flow velocity from the measured upstream and downstream transit times.

Page 18

Flow Profile Compensation

Another important consideration is that the ultrasonic flow meter has to compensate for the flow profile to maintain calibration accuracy. Shown below is a graphic of a "fully-developed" flow profile. Note that the fluid velocity increases toward the center (axis) of the flow stream.

(1) Fluid velocity near the axis of the flow stream tends to be greater.

Page 19

The Reynolds number is then computed as follows:

Rn = 645 * Pipe ID * VF Viscosity where viscosity = cS = cP/density cS = kinematic viscosity cP = absolute viscosity

The flow meter then uses this computation of Reynolds number to compensate the raw flow velocity for conditions of laminar or turbulent flow profile as defined by an internal Reynolds compensation table. The flow meter then converts the compensated flow velocity to volumetric flow rate.

Rate = VF * Comp(Rn) * Pipe area

Volume Correction Algorithm

The flow meter provides Standard Volume output by inferentially determining the liquid API @ 60°F (or the specified base temperature) and then applying the API standard (2540) algorithm as outlined below. Before describing API algorithm the steps required to obtain bulk or actual flow should be reviewed.

  • 1. Based on the measured transit time difference (Δt), average transit time (TN) and pipe dimensions, the RAW flow rate (FLOWRAW) and liquid sonic velocity (Vos) are computed.
  • 2. Using the liquid temperature input and the optional user provided pressure input, the measured Vos is then compensated to the value expected for base temperature and pressure conditions (i.e. 15.5°C and 1 bara or 60°F 14.7 psia). This compensated Vos is called Liguldent.

Liguldent = Vos + TempSlope * (t - base temp) + PresSlope * (p = base pressure)

where: t = measured temperature (°F)

TempSlope = change in liquid sonic velocity per °F (Linear for petroleum products.)

PresSlope = change in liquid sonic velocity per PSI (Linear for petroleum products.)

Liquident provides an output that identifies the liquid independent of the operating temperature and pressure.

  • Through optimization the LiquIdent values (for a wide range of different liquids) can then be associated with an API@60°F as well as Viscosity @ 60°F. This information can be keyed into a lookup table within the flow meter. This table then serves as a reference for dynamically inferring the liquid properties as different liquid batches enter the flow transducer. (The lookup function for this table will also interpolate and extrapolate for values between and outside the table values.)
  • 2. Based on FLOWRAW and the inferred Viscosity, the current Reynolds # is computed. The Reynolds # value is used to correct the raw flow for non-plug flow profile. The compensated actual flow rate is then computed (FLOWBULK).
  • 3. The volume correction can now be computed using API standard 2540. Note: 60°F is used for the base temperature value in the example below, but this can be altered within the flow meter menu.
Page 20

a) ρ60 = (141.5 *999.012) / (131.5 + API60)

  • where:p60 = density at 60°F (Kg/m3)
  • b) α60 = K0 / ρ602 + K1 / ρ60
  • where K0 and K1 are coefficients of thermal expansion.
  • c) ρt60 * EXP (- α60 Δt (1 + 0.8 α60 Δt))
  • where \Delta t = (t 60)°F and t = measured temperature
  • d) Therefore the volume correction factor (VCF) = pt / p60

The final volume compensated flow rate is then: Std Flow = FLOWBULK * VCF

Flow meter Types

The flow meter automatically conditions Installation Menu choices to suit the selected meter type. The following illustrates the 2-Channel and 2-Path flow meter types.

2-Channel

Dual Channel provides two independent measurement channels that operate simultaneously. Depending on the specific model, Dual Channel supports: Clamp-on Transit-time, In-line Transit-time and Reflexor.

Page 21
2-Path

2-Path flow meters use two measurement channels to achieve a single output via a "virtual" third channel. The resultant data is the average of the two channels. Only clamp-on or in-line transit-time operation is allowed. Benefits include highest available precision and enhanced immunity to distorted flow profile conditions.

WideBeam Transmission

As shown in the figure below, an ultrasonic sensor induces an axial sonic beam within the wall of the pipe. These vibrations spread along the pipe wall and then enter the liquid in the form of a WideBeam wave front traveling at an angle to the main pipe axis. The wide beam "rains" over the receiving sensor. The wide coverage of the receiver is necessary because the angle of the sonic beam is related to the liquid's sonic propagation velocity by Snell's Law.

According to this formula, it can be stated that as the liquid sonic propagation velocity changes so will the angle between the sonic beam and the flow stream.

Therefore, a significant liquid sonic velocity shift could deflect a "narrow" beam transmission away from the receiving sensor entirely. The upstream vs. downstream transit-time difference will also be affected by the changing (or refracting) beam angle. This makes it necessary for systems to continuously compute this angle, since it is subject to varying degrees of refraction. The flow meter derives the angle by knowing the fixed position of the sensors, the dimensions of the pipe and the measured transit-time. Therefore, the flow meter computes the beam angle relative to the axis of the pipe.

Page 22
low Calibration Factor

Normally, the flow stream is in line with the axis of the pipe. On this basis, the calibration factor of a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is proportional to the cosine of the beam angle relative to the pipe axis. However, this reveals that if the angle of flow stream is not in line with the pipe axis, the flow calibration factor could be compromised. This most often occurs when the sensor mounting location is within close proximity of a bend or other pipe obstruction. It is recommended that, whenever possible, mount sensors on the longest available straight run of pipe and also use Reflect Mode mounting (as shown below).

  • Flow Direction
  • WideBeam transmissions exchanged between the Upstream and Downstream sensors

Reflect mounting automatically corrects for non-axial flow or cross flow conditions. When the exchange of sonic signals occurs by reflection off the far pipe wall as shown above, the average beam versus stream angle will be equivalent to that of an axial flow stream

Installing/mounting

4.1 Installation safety precautions

ligh pressure hazard

In applications with working pressures/media that can be dangerous to people, surroundings, equipment or others in case of pipe fracture, we recommend that special precautions such as special placement, shielding or installation of a pressure guard or a safety valve are taken when the sensor is mounted.

4.2 Use according to specifications

"Use according to specifications" covers:

  • Use within technical limits.
  • Consideration of liquid specifications and references.
  • Consideration of specifications as to installation, commissioning and maintenance.
  • Operating pressure and temperature must be within the limits indicated on the product label.
  • Flow and density must be within the specified limits
Do NOT:

  • Use the flow meter as elastic equalization in pipe systems to compensate for e.g. pipe displacement, pipe vibration, expansion, etc.
  • Use the flow meter as footboard for installation purposes.
  • Use the flow meter as support of external loads like pipes, etc.
  • Change the flow meter in any way. For e.g. decomposition of material in connection with processing, welding and use of accessories and spare parts not approved by Siemens.
Note

If the flow meter is not used according to the specifications, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any resulting damage.

Page 24

4.3 Application Guidelines

4.3 Application Guidelines

Basic Requirements

  • Determine pipe material and dimensions.
  • Avoid vertical pipes flowing in a downward direction.
  • Avoid installation of sensors on the top and bottom of horizontal pipes, if possible.
  • Select a location with the longest straight run of pipe.
  • Identify upstream piping configuration (elbow, reducer, etc.).
  • Pipe surface should be smooth and, if necessary, free of paint.
  • Avoid pressure reduction components upstream.
  • Avoid mounting on or near weld seams.
  • Pipe must be full to achieve proper operation.

4.4 AC Battery Charger

The flow meter has an optional battery charger that operates from a 100, 110 or 220 VAC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) power source. It has a universal power input that requires no user switching. Optional cords can be provided for connection to AC outlets in most countries.

The 1015BCK-1 Power Adapter/Battery charger is NOT waterproof or water resistant. Do not allow it to become wet, or attempt to use it when wet. Exposure to a wet or submerged environment will result in damage to the unit that cannot be repaired and could expose the user to the risk of electric shock.

5.1 Transmitter Wiring

5.1.1 Forming the Internal Battery

Battery Operation

All portable systems include battery chargers that operate from an AC voltage source. We strongly recommend that you "form" and charge the battery before operating the system for the first time.

The Charge Indicator LED

A battery status indicator shows the status of its internal battery and charging circuits. The indicator LED color switches between red or green based upon the flow meter operation.

LED Battery Condition
Green Trickle charge in progress
Red Rapid Charge in progress (flow meter must be off)
Forming the Internal Battery

The flow meter uses an internal, rechargeable battery pack designed for a rapid charge cycle (NiMH, 12 VDC, 3200mAH). The batteries have to be "formed" to deliver their optimum operating time, which is approximately 7 hours. This is accomplished by performing a minimum of two complete discharge/charge cycles.

Note

To remove, replace or dispose of the internal battery pack refer to Maintenance and Service (Page 117) in the instruction manual.

Page 28

5.1 Transmitter Wiring

To Produce a Charge/Discharge Cycle:

  • 1. Press the ON keypad to turn the flow meter ON without connecting an external power source. Leave it ON until an automatic shutdown occurs.
  • Connect the AC charger (Page 27) and charge the internal battery with the meter power shut OFF. The charge indicator LED will turn RED (Rapid Charge) for approximately 1 to 2 hours, then turn GREEN (Trickle Charge). Charge the battery for an additional 8 hours or more.
  • 3. Repeat the charge/discharge cycle again. The battery should now be "formed" to provide its maximum operating time.

To maintain the battery "forming," whenever possible, discharge the battery completely before recharging. If the operating time during battery use appears to be unusually short, then a discharge/charge cycle should lengthen the operating time. If this does not correct a short operating time, then the internal battery should be replaced.

The transmitter recommends a mounting mode after analyzing your pipe and liquid data entries. However, you can install clamp-on sensors in the way that best suits your application and the sensor type you have purchased.

Figure 5-2 Reflect Mount (Pipe shown from above in 12 o'clock position)

Reflect mount is recommended whenever possible. This is the simplest way to mount the sensors. Also, Reflect mount resists abnormal flow profile conditions such as cross-flow within the flow stream. Reflect mount supports the AutoZero function, which zeroes the flow meter automatically without user-participation. In addition, Reflect mount may be the only possibility if conditions do not allow access to the opposite side of the pipe.

Page 31

Direct mount provides a shorter sonic beam path. This usually improves performance with sonically attenuative liquids or pipe materials. We recommend using Direct mount for plastic pipes. Compared to Direct mounting, Reflect mount requires almost double the amount of mounting length. Therefore, Direct mount may be the only option if the availability of mounting space is limited.

Figure 5-3 Direct Mount (Pipe shown from above in 12 o'clock position)

Mounting Supplies

The following items will be needed to mount the sensors (most are supplied):

  • Mounting Frames or Mounting tracks
  • Tape, chalk and a ruler or measuring tape
  • Spacer Bar
  • Mounting Guide (for Direct Mount)
  • Ultrasonic coupling compound and/or coupling pads
  • Sensors (matched set)

Selecting a location for the sensors

  • 1. Locate the sensors downstream from the center of the longest available straight run. A location ten pipe diameters or greater downstream from the nearest bend will provide the best flow profile conditions.
  • 2. Do not, if possible, install the sensors downstream from a throttling valve, a mixing tank, the discharge of a positive displacement pump or any other equipment that could possibly aerate the liquid. The best location will be as free as possible from flow disturbances, vibration, sources of heat, noise, or radiated energy.
  • 3. Avoid mounting the sensors on a section of pipe with any external scale. Remove all scale, rust, loose paint, etc., from the location.
  • 4. Do not mount the sensors on a surface aberration (pipe seam, etc.)
Page 32

  • 5. Do not mount sensors from different ultrasonic flow meters on the same pipe. Also, do not run the sensor cables in common bundles with cables from communication equipment, other Siemens systems, or any type of ultrasonic equipment. You can run these cables through a common conduit ONLY if they originate at the same flow meter.
  • 6. Never mount sensors under water, unless you order submersible units and you install them in accordance with factory instructions.
  • 7. Never mount sensors on the top or bottom of a horizontal pipe. The best placement on a horizontal pipe is either the ten o'clock and two o'clock position for Reflect Mode, or one sensor at nine o'clock and one sensor at three o'clock for Direct Mode. Mounting on a vertical pipe is recommended only if flow is in the upward direction. When mounting on a vertical pipe flowing in a downward direction make sure there is sufficient back pressure in the system to maintain a full pipe.

eparing the Pipe

  • 1. Pick a mounting location with the longest straight run. You must have easy access to at least one side of your pipe. The pipe at the mounting location must remain full, even at zero flow.
  • 2. Decide on your mounting mode (Direct or Reflect). Always use Reflect Mode whenever possible. You may only need to use Direct Mode if your pipe is plastic.
  • 3. After receiving the spacing dimensions from the Installation Menu, prepare the pipe surface. De-grease the surface, if necessary, and remove any grit, corrosion, rust, loose paint, etc. Use abrasive material provided to provide a clean contact surface for the sensors.
Page 33

5.2 Sensor Wiring

Note

Please note that the instructions show vertical mounting for clarity purposes only. Do not install sensors on the top of a pipe.

  • 4. Clean an area 13 mm (1/2-inch) on either side of the sensors.
  • 5. Clean an additional 13 mm (1/2-inch) along the length of the sensors.

5.2.2 Sensor Identification and Selection

5.2.5 Reflect Mount

Reflect Mount using E-Z Clamp and Spacer Bar

The EZ Clamp is a quick and easy way to securely mount sensors on any pipe. The spacer bar eliminates manual spacing measurements and provides rigidity for mounting the sensors while maintaining axial alignment.

Before beginning refer to the E-Z Clamp sensor installation diagram example below.

Figure 5-10 Reflect Mount with EZ-Clamp and Spacer Bar

Ltn Menu Cell

This view only menu cell shows the distance in inches or millimeters between the front faces of the sensors along the axis of the pipe. If you are mounting the sensors without a track or spacer bar, you have to space them according to this value. Note that Ltn may be a negative number for direct mount on very small pipes where the sensor spacing overlaps.

Page 44
5.2 Sensor Wiring
Installation Procedure

  • 1. After receiving the Number Index from the Installation Menu, prepare the pipe surface area where the sensors will be mounted. Check to ensure that you have a matched set of sensors. They both should have the same S/N number but marked with either an "A" or "B" (e.g., 100A and 100B).
  • 2. Degrease the surface and remove any grit, corrosion, rust, loose paint, etc.
  • 3. Assemble the sensors to the spacer bar, with the cable connectors facing away from each other as shown above. The spacer bar is attached to a sensor using a sensor index screw.
  • 4. One sensor is attached using the "REF" hole on the spacer bar. The second sensor is attached to the spacer bar at the index hole specified by the Number Index recorded in Step 1.
Note

In some cases, the sensors may have two sets of securing holes. When using the EZ Clamp assembly, use the lower set of holes when attaching the spacer bar.

  • Temporarily position the assembly (in the 10 o'clock position) at the location where it will be mounted. Ensure that this is a smooth area of the pipe without any raised spots (seams, etc.).
  • 6. With a pencil or chalk mark a generous area around each sensor where they contact the pipe. Remove the assembly.
  • 7. Prepare the two areas you marked by degreasing the pipe surface. Remove any grit, corrosion, rust, loose paint or surface irregularities with the abrasive pipe conditioning material provided.
  • 8. Remove the sensor from the spacer bar that was attached through the REF hole. Attach the EZ clamp to the sensor under the spring clip. The adjusting nut knob should be pointing up and on the side opposite the spacer bar. Unscrew the knob until it's at the stop.

5.2 Sensor Wiring

Note

To surround larger pipes, link multiple lengths of chain together by mating the Bit Snap and "S" hook.

9. Take sensor and apply a continuous lengthwise 3 mm (1/8-inch) bead of coupling compound across the center of the sensor emitting surface.

  • 10.Place sensor in the middle of one of the areas you have cleaned. Ensure that the cable connector is facing away from where the other sensor will be placed.
  • 11. While holding this sensor in-place, bring the chain around the pipe and attach the closest link onto the hook of the EZ clamp.

Page 46

  • 12. Tighten the adjusting nut until the chain is just snug around the pipe. Ensure that the chain is straight around the pipe and the sensor contacts the pipe at the white dot just under the front label. Ensure that there is equal space on either side of the dot between the edges of the sensor and pipe.
  • 13.Repeat Steps 7, 8 and 9 for the second sensor leaving it attached to the spacer bar. At the same time that you place it in the middle of the second prepared pipe area, secure the spacing bar to the previously mounted sensor by inserting the sensor index screw through the REF hole on the bar and into lowest hole on sensor (i.e. for those sensors that have two holes).
  • 14. Sight along spacer bar to ensure axial alignment to the pipe. Adjust if necessary. Tighten both chains and ensure that sensors did not move while tightening. Do not over tighten.
  • 15.Observing the upstream and downstream orientation, attach the UP (upstream) and DN (downstream) cables to the sensors and make snug. Attach the other ends to the UP and DN terminals of the flow meter (see figure below).

5.2.6 Direct Mount

Direct Mount - Installation with EZ Clamp and Spacing Guide

The combination of EZ Clamp and spacer guide is the recommended way to mount Direct Mode sensors. This method ensures that sensors will align exactly 180° from each other and remain spaced the proper distance apart.

For Direct Mode mounting, a spacer bar is used to establish the distance between sensors and a spacing guide is used to locate the sensors at the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions. Should the distance between sensors be beyond the span of a spacer bar, a measuring tape can be used. The Mylar spacing guide comes in various lengths and widths to accommodate most pipe sizes.

Spacing Guide Sizes
5.08cm x 66.04cm) (2" x 26")
5.08cm x 114.3cm (2" x 45")
10.16 cm x 205.7cm (4" x 81")
10.16cm x 393.7cm (4" x 155")
15.2cm x 497.8cm (6" x 196")

Figure 5-15 Mylar Spacing Guide

Installation Procedure

  • 1. Make a note of the Number Index displayed in the [Install Sensor] menu. Check to ensure that you have a matched set of sensors. They both should have the same S/N number but marked with either an "A" or "B" (e.g., 100A and 100B).
  • 2. Temporarily position one of the sensors on the pipe where you will be mounting it. Ensure that this is a smooth area without any raised areas (seams, etc.) With a pencil or chalk, mark a generous area around all sides of the sensor. Remove the sensor.
  • 3. Prepare the area you marked by degreasing the surface and removing any grit, corrosion, rust, loose paint or surface irregularities with the abrasive pipe conditioning material provided.

Note

In some cases the sensors may have two sets of holes for securing the spacer bar. When using the EZ Clamp assembly use the lower set of holes when attaching the spacer bar.

  • 11.Do not apply any couplant to the second sensor. First attach the spacer bar assembly, with the second sensor attached to it, to the mounted sensor by inserting an index screw through the REF hole and into the lowest hole on the sensor. Tighten the screw.
  • 12. Visually check that the spacer bar is axially aligned with the pipe.
  • 13.Hold spacer bar assembly in this position and draw a pencil or chalk line along the back edge of the sensor and a dot below the sensor label white dot. See "A" below.
  • 14.Disassemble the spacer bar and second sensor from the mounted sensor. Remove the second sensor from the spacer bar.
  • 15.Use the spacer bar as a straight edge, align the mounted sensor's white dot and the pencil dot and draw a line across the dots (see "B" below). Set spacer bar aside.

  • 17.Realign left edge of the guide with the sensor edge mark. Line up both vertical edges of the guide and, ensuring that it is snug around the pipe, mark along the overlapping edge.
  • 18.Remove Mylar spacing guide and lay it out on a flat surface. Either measure the exact distance half-way between the overlap edge and the mark at the overlap, or fold the guide from the overlap edge to the overlap mark and draw a line at the fold (halfway point).

  • 19. Reinstall the spacing guide; its left edge abutting the sensor's edge mark on the pipe and the overlapping edge in line with the dot (now a line) on the pipe (see "C above). Tape it in this position on the pipe. Take the second frame and place it against the edge of the guide with its tapered roller centered on the center mark on the guide.
  • 20. Temporarily position the sensor (in the 3 o'clock position opposite the mounted sensor see below) where it will be mounted. Ensure that this is a smooth area without any raised spots (seams, etc.). With a pencil or chalk, mark a generous area around all sides of the mounting frames. Remove the frame and the Mylar guide.

① Automatic selection of mounting track part number , mount mode and Number Index

The combination of two Model 1012TP Mounting Tracks and a spacer guide is the recommended way to mount sensors in the Direct Mode. This method ensures that sensors will align exactly 180° from each other and remain spaced the proper distance apart.

The Direct Mount configuration uses a set of two track rail assemblies; one for each sensor, installed 180° apart on the pipe. The set includes:

• Direct Mode Track Assembly - This track rail has number index holes for inserting an index pin to position the other sensor.

Positioning Track Assemblies

1. Wrap a length of the Mylar spacing guide around the pipe and against the end of the track assemblies. Ensure that the spacer guide edges on both sides align. Arrange so that one end overlaps the other by at least 8 cm (3 inches). Trim to fit if necessary, but in order to keep the end square, be sure not to trim at the overlapping end.

Figure 5-27 Wrapping the Mylar Spacing Guide around pipe (End View)

2. Remove the spacer guide. Measure or fold spacer guide to find its halfway distance. Mark a center line and then tape spacer guide to pipe.

Page 61

5.2 Sensor Wiring

3. Use the edge of the Spacer Guide as a stop for both tracks to keep them parallel. Adjust tracks as necessary.

4. Loosen the chains enough to allow you to rotate the track assembly until the center of one track aligns with the center line on the Spacer Guide and the center of the other track aligns at the point where the Spacer Guide ends meet. The tracks should now be 180° apart. Tighten both chains but not too tight.

Page 62
Sensor Installation

  • 1. Insert an index pin into the REF hole of the track marked "Reflect Mode Spacing."
  • 2. Take one of the sensors and insert it between the track rails and to the left of the index pin with the cable connector pointing away from the pin. Move the sensor until the pin stops it. Hold sensor in place. Move sensor clamping screw over the sensor and tighten.

③ Number Index hole

Figure 5-30 REF and Number Index Pin Locations

  • 3. Insert the other index pin into the correct Number Index hole on the other track marked "Direct Mode Spacing."
  • 4. Insert the second sensor into the track rail with its cable connector pointing away from the pin. Move the sensor until it's stopped by the pin. Move sensor clamping screw over the sensor and tighten.

Note

Remember to install the sensors with the cable connectors facing away from each other.

  • 5. Using a pencil or chalk, mark a generous area around where the sensors contact the pipe.
  • 6. Release the tension on the sensors and remove them.
  • 7. Loosen the chains and rotate the track assembly on the pipe so you can gain access to the areas marked.
Page 63

  • 8. Prepare the areas you marked by degreasing the surface, if needed, and removing any grit, corrosion, rust, loose paint or surface irregularities with the abrasive pipe conditioning material provided.
  • 9. Rotate the track assemblies into their original position on the pipe. Use the edge of the Mylar guide as a stop for both tracks and keep them parallel. Align each track with the "center line" you previously marked on the Spacing Guide. Tighten tracks securely.
  • 10. This time, before installing each sensor, apply a 3mm (1/8-inch) continuous bead of couplant compound along the center (the long way) of the contact surface of the sensor. Also, keep the sensors lifted slightly from the pipe when installing until the sensor is against the pin; then push down against the pipe.
  • 11.Once the sensors are in place, secure with its clamping screws. Do not over tighten.
  • 12.Observing the upstream and downstream orientation, attach the UP (upstream) and DN (downstream) cables to the sensors and make snug. Attach the other ends to the UP and DN terminals of the transmitter.
  • 13.Proceed to Commissioning (Page 67).

5.3 Zero Flow Adjust Menu

Zero Flow Compensation Methods

Unlike turbine flow meters ultrasonic transit-time flow 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 sensors. Consequently some flow offset (or zero offset) may be present in any installation. To eliminate this residual zero offset Siemens 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 1011HP sensors are mounted in the Reflect Mode configuration 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 offset 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.

Page 64

5.3 Zero Flow Adjust Menu

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 the line 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 sensors 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 sensors cannot be mounted in the Reflect Mode configuration. Flow must be stable during the entire process.

ZeroMatic

When ZeroMatic is invoked the flow meter first performs the same analysis as described above in the AutoZero routine. However, after this analysis is complete the flow meter continues to interrogate the pipe wall signal and update the zero offset value under normal operation, such that the flow meter dynamically compensates for changing conditions which would normally result in zero drift. ZeroMatic will only operate with the sensors 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. To disable ZeroMatic, invoke it again, but then press <Left 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.

Page 65
To invoke Actual Zero:

  • 1. Access the [Zero Flow Adjust] option list by pressing <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. Press <ENTER>. A pop-up window prompts you to set the current flow rate (in selected 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.

3. Press <ENTER> to start the Actual Zero process.

When you send the command, the flow meter 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 <ENTER> key. This controls the amount of data the flow meter averages to obtain a zero level.

Using ReversaMatic

If site conditions do not permit stopping the flow rate at the mounting location, and you do not know the current flow rate, then you can use the ReversaMatic routine to establish the zero flow level. You should perform the ReversaMatic procedure as quickly as possible to ensure that the flow rate remains constant throughout the procedure.

To invoke ReversaMatic:

  • 1. To access the [Zero Flow Adjust] option list press <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. Move the cursor to [ReversaMatic]. Press <ENTER> to invoke the routine.
  • 3. The flow meter begins to measure the positive flow rate. "Positive" flow refers to flow moving from upstream sensor location to the downstream sensor location. Note top prompt line shows: Reversamatic Action
  • 4. Upon completion, the flow meter beeps and the display screen shows: Reverse Sensors / Press <ENTER>
  • 5. Now remove then remount the upstream and downstream sensors in their reversed positions. Mount the Up sensor (without removing its cable) in the Down sensor/cable location. Mount Down sensor with its cable in the Up sensor/cable location. When remounting the sensors, couple them to the pipe properly. Press <ENTER> (after re-installing the sensors).
  • 6. The flow meter measures the negative flow rate briefly, then beeps and repeats the prompt:
  • 7. Now remount the sensors for normal operation (in their original orientation). When remounting sensors, couple them to the pipe properly. Press <ENTER> (after re-installing the sensors).
Page 66

5.3 Zero Flow Adjust Menu

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.

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 flow meter reads in the step during which the sensors 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.

ZeroMatic (optional function)
Note

ZeroMatic is used in the Reflect Mode only. Invoking ZeroMatic clears any existing fixed zero offset.

7.2 Span Data

The [Span Data] menu allows you to set 0% and 100% output limits for volumetric flow (Vfo), absolute flow (Vfab) and sonic velocity (Vs). Each menu cell shows appropriate rate units and time base. If you change flow rate units after spanning the system, the computer automatically updates the output data setup to reflect the change. Span limits apply to both the analog outputs and the on-screen strip chart. The flow outputs operate as follows:

Vfo
Spanned Volumetric::
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
4mA span will be -30 GPM, and the 20mA span
will be +10 GPM.
Vfab
Spanned Absolute Volumetric Flow Rate:
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

7.3 Logger Control

Logger Control Menu

The Logger Control menu in the [Meter Facilities] menu provides the Logger controls for the flow meter measurement channels and paths. It allows the user to select data items/alarm events, a logging interval and a destination for Logger reports. While the Logger Setup menu is measurement channel/path specific, this Logger Control menu provides global control functions. This means that the settings made here apply to all measurement channels/paths, meter types, operating modes, etc. This is possible because the flow meter stores logged data in a single file.

The [Est LogTime Left] menu view-only menu cell shows an estimate of the hours and minutes of logging time remaining. For convenience sake, the Display Logger command is essentially a duplicate of the menu cell in Logger Setup. It sends Logger data to the graphic screen with or without line wrapping. The Output Logger command sends data to an external device via the RS-232 serial port. The Clear Logger command erases the entire Logger file.

  • 1. From the Meter Facilities menu access the [Logger Control] menu by pressing the <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. Scroll down to [Logger Control]. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the [Logger Control] menu option list.

7.3 Logger Control

Display Logger

This menu cell allows you to send the Logger contents to the display screen. This command is effective only after a successful install. You can set the report to scroll on the screen with or without line-wrap. Selecting line wrap, forces a line feed after approximately 40 characters. In addition, you have to enable datalogging and then select items in the Logger Setup menu. Note that this command transmits the data from both channels/paths.

To send Logger contents to the display screen:

1. Press <Right Arrow> to access the [Display Logger] option list.

  • 2. Scroll cursor to either [Line Wrap] or [No Line Wrap] by pressing <Up/Down Arrow>.
  • 3. To view Logger contents press <ENTER>.
  • 4. To return to [Logger Control] press <MENU>.
Output Logger

This menu cell allows you to send the Logger contents to an external device (usually a computer or printer) via the flow meter's RS-232 Serial I/O port. This command is effective only after a successful install. In addition, you have to enable datalogging and select data items in the [Logger Setup] menu.

The flow meter interfaces with most serial printers or personal computers for Logger printouts. You must use the proper cabling between the flow meter and the external device. In addition, you must configure the RS-232 Setup correctly. You should turn off the Logger function before you transmit an extensive printout. This will avoid contaminating the printout with new Logger data. Logger reports are sequential ASCII text files.

To send Logger contents to the RS-232 Serial Port:

  • 1. Check the flow meter-to-external device connections and your RS-232 Setup parameters (see RS-232 Setup menu).
  • 2. To access the [Output Logger] option list press <Right Arrow>.
  • 3. Scroll the cursor to [Yes] by pressing <Up/Down Arrow>.
Page 87

  • 7.3 Logger Control
  • 4. To transmit Logger contents to external device via the serial port press <ENTER>.
  • 5. To stop printout press <Left Arrow>.
Circular Memory

In its default mode, the Logger collects data until its memory becomes full. At that time the flow meter suspends datalogging and cannot resume until the Logger memory is cleared (see Clear Logger command). Circular Memory allows the Logger to "'write over" its oldest records when memory reaches full capacity. If you enable [Circular Memory], you are assured of always collecting the most recent data. But also remember that you will lose the oldest Logger reports and that further invoking of [Circular Memory] deletes the current contents of the Logger.

To setup and enable Circular Memory:

  • 1. The Logger Mode menu must have the [Memory] menu cell selected.
  • 2. Logger items must be selected (e.g., Site ID, Date, Time, etc.).
  • 3. All active channels/paths in the Channel Setup menu must be disabled. To disable active channels, select the [Channel Enable] menu cell and then [No].
  • 4. In the Logger Control menu, select [Circular Memory].
  • 5. Press <Right Arrow> to access the [Circular Memory] option list.
  • 6. Move the cursor to [Yes] by pressing <Up/Down Arrow>.
  • 7. To store selection press <ENTER>.
  • 8. Lastly, re-enable the channels/paths that you disabled earlier to begin logging.
Est LogTime Left

Est LogTime Left is a "view-only" menu cell that shows an estimate of the amount of Logger time remaining in hours and minutes. This menu cell becomes active after you enable datalogging. Selecting [Circular Memory] and/or event-based datalogging (see Logger Setup), blanks the [Est LogTime Left] field and is based on the log interval and data selections made in the Logger Setup.

Clear Logger

If you use the Logger in its default mode, eventually you will use all the memory available for Logger storage. When this occurs, you will not be able to log more data until you free up the memory. The [Clear Logger] command erases ALL stored Logger data. Therefore, you should evaluate the currently stored data, and print any valuable information before using this command.

Note

Saved Sites also consume Logger RAM

7.4 Operation Adjust Menu Settings

Introduction

The [Operation Adjust] menu becomes available after picking a meter type and measurement channel. It is recommended that you use it after the sensors 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 flow 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 flow meter response to a continuous Fault condition.

Damping Control

The flow meter provides two different data output filter types, Time Average and SmartSlew. Time Average (recommended) integrates the instantaneous flow rate over a selectable time period. Use the Time Average function when stability in flow reading is essential. A value entered (in seconds) sets the time it takes the flow meter to respond to a rate change. The default is 10 seconds. Enter any amount of time up to 60 seconds maximum.

SmartSlew performs data scatter damping during steady flow periods while maintaining the ability to respond to changing flow rates. SmartSlew values range from [1 to 9]. Pick a higher number to slow flow meter response to a rate change.

Setting the Time Average (default):

  • 1. From the [Dual Path Flow] menu scroll to the [Operation Adjust] menu and press <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. At the [Damping Control] menu press the <Right Arrow> and move the cursor down to [Time Average].
  • 3. To enable Time Average entry press <Right Arrow>.

  • 3. To access SmartSlew option list press <Right Arrow>.
  • 4. Scroll the numeric list to the desired choice by pressing <Up/Down Arrow>.
  • 5. To register the new value press <ENTER>.
Deadband Control

Use the Deadband Control to instruct the flow 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.

To edit Deadband default setting (0.000):

  • 1. From the [Dual Path Flow] menu scroll to the [Operation Adjust] menu and press <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. Scroll to the [Deadband Control] menu
  • 3. Press <Right Arrow>to enable numeric entry.
  • 4. Use the numeric keys to type in the desired rate (using selected flow rate units).
  • 5. To register the new value press <ENTER>.
Page 90

7.4 Operation Adjust Menu Settings

Memory/Fault Set

Certain situations will interrupt data production (e.g., an empty pipe or excessive aeration). Use Memory/Fault Set to select the flow 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 flow meter offers a Memory operating mode to support such an application. Memory Mode suspends the flow meter 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 flow meter will maintain the last valid flow reading measured before the onset of the fault condition. The default Memory Delay is 60 seconds. You may select any duration from 3 to 604,800 seconds (one week).

Selecting Memory Mode

  • 1. From the [Dual Path Flow] menu scroll to the [Operation Adjust] menu and press <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. Scroll to the [Memory/Fault Set] and press <Right Arrow> to access option list.
  • 3. Move the cursor down to [Memory] by pressing <Up/Down Arrow>.
  • 4. To make selection press <ENTER>.
  • 5. This moves the highlight to [Memory Delay (s)].
Memory Delay (s)

Selecting [Memory Delay <s>] activates the suppressed [Memory Delay] menu cell. It allows you to specify the number of seconds that the flow meter maintains its last valid flow reading. When the memory delay expires, it triggers the fault alarm response described previously.

Setting Memory Delay

  • 1. To enable numeric entry press <Right Arrow>.
  • 2. Use the number keys to type the delay in seconds.
  • 3. To register the new value press <ENTER>.
Reflexor Zero/Fault Option (Reflexor Mode Only)
Note

The [Zero/Fault set] menu option only appears on the display if the selected channel is the Reflexor mode.

The 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:

Page 91

  • 1. FAULT When selected the system will declare the Reflexor channel to be in Fault and the flow meter 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.
  • 2. ZERO When selected the Reflexor channel will be declared to be at Zero Flow instead of in Fault and the flow meter will indicate 0.00 on the display screen.

7.5 Setting Relays

Relay Functions

Use the [Relay Setup] menu to assign a function to channel relays. The flow meter supports two 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 the alarm clears. The Pulse Relay output supports Totalizer and batch relay functions, with an output pulse width of 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.

Note

Using the <F1> key (Totalizer clear command) also clears all channel Totalizers plus the overflow register described in the last paragraph.

Relay 1 and 2 Function Assignments

The flow meter, depending upon the model, provides at least two alarm relays. Please refer to the Appendix (Page 143) for wiring details. Relays respond to any of the alarm conditions or data functions included on the Relay Option List.

7.6 Memory Control

7.6 Memory Control

Introduction

Memory Control is a reference menu that shows the amount of bytes of data memory left. The data memory capacity depends on the number and complexity of the site setups stored in memory and the size of the current Datalogger file.

The [Memory Control] menu is located in the [Meter Facilities] menu.

Table 7-5 Memory Control Menu

Log Memory Left

This view only menu cell shows the minimum remaining number of characters available for Datalogger and site storage. When the Datalogger is enabled for circular mode, the meter allocates all memory left except for two conventional empty sites required for Datalogger use.

To view the amount of data memory bytes available press <Right Arrow>.

Memory Map

Selecting [YES] for this item enables a snapshot display of current memory usage. In this display, the asterisk indicates a used memory block, a space indicates a free block, while a dash character indicates unused filler.

Defragment

Selecting [YES] for this item consolidates memory data blocks into contiguous storage; collapsing the filler regions. You may be able to use an additional block for site or Datalogger storage as a result. Use this command if you seem to be out of memory even though the [Log Memory Left] item indicates free capacity.

7.8 Analog Input Setup

Analog Input Setup

Note

Some versions of the FUP1010 portable flow meter have the ability to read analog input signals. The [Analog Inp Setup] menu cell is not displayed if the operating system of your model does not include this facility.

The optional Analog Input Setup function assigns an active analog input to a measurement channel/path. The flow meter provides two DC current (4-20mA) and two voltage (0-10V) input ports for single channel, Dual Channel and Dual Path units. The DC current input ranges from a zero level of 4mA to a full scale of 20mA and allows you to enable this port and then span it to any desired scaling.

Page 97

For example, when using the analog input Aux function, assigned numeric variables for temperature monitoring might be spanned as follows: 4mA=1 (0°C / 32°F) and 20mA=100 (100°C / 212°F). Temperature data sent to the Aux 1 input port will feed through the flow meter and report the scaling data to the Datalogger.

Although the flow meter receives these signals, the standard operating system will not use them as available in any of its operations. The analog input only acts as a convenient "feed-through" to add data to Datalogger reports.

Note

There will be no numeric units shown next to the output data. Be aware of the appropriate units when entering scaling data and when viewing the resultant output on the Datalogger report.

Note

Refer to the Installation Drawings or I/O Module markings for the locations of these inputs and wiring procedures.
