Introduction
Chapter 1
Product Overview
Thermo Fisher Scientific’s SX40 dedicated Doppler flowmeter generates
two independent ultrasonic signals at different frequencies. By correlating
these frequencies, the instrument automatically identifies and eliminates
noise errors from sources such as variable frequency drives.
In addition, operation of the instrument is enhanced by an Expert System
that allows the flowmeter to automatically ‘‘learn’’ the application
parameters. As a result, the flowmeter can be easily commissioned in a
fraction of the time required to configure competitive ultrasonic
flowmeters.

Installation & Wiring
Inssttaalllliinngg the
Transducers
1. Select an installation site:
Keep the following questions in mind when choosing a proper
installation site:
●
Is the chosen section of pipe always full of liquid?
●
Are there at least 5 pipe diameters upstream and 3 pipe diameters
downstream from any directional changes, pipe joints, or
narrowing/widening of the pipe?
Figure 2–1. Recommended installation locations
Conditions at locations A, B, C, D, and E can interfere with the
transmission of the ultrasonic wave and yield inaccurate or unreliable
flow readings:
●
A: Pipe may not be full
●
B: Down flow
●
C: Too close to elbow
●
D: Air collects at the top of the horizontal pipe
●
E: Sediment collects at the bottom of the horizontal pipe
Note Selecting the proper installation location is essential to flow
measurement reliability. Each application is unique and may require a
variation of installation locations. ▲

Installing the Transducers
2. Select a transducer orientation:
Refer to Figure 2- -- 2. If your application allows, install the transducers at
the 3 and 9 o’clock locations. Ensure the transducers are parallel to
each other along the pipe circumference.
Figure 2–2. Recommended transducer orientations
3. Attach the transducers to the pipe strap:
a. Use a screwdriver to loosen the mounting screw and slide the lock
back on each transducer.

b. Place the pipe strap across the mounting, and slide the lock back
into place.
Figure 2–4.
c. Tighten the screws.
Figure 2–5.
4. Mount the transducers, ensuring the transducers face the same
direction (as shown in Figure 2- -- 6):
a. Wrap the pipe strap around the pipe, and slide the end of the pipe
strap through the tension nut assembly.
b. Pull the strap tightly, and clamp the tension nut down to secure the
strap to the pipe.
c. Loosen the mounting screw of a transducer, and move the
transducer to the 3 o’clock position on the pipe. Tighten the
mounting screw to secure the transducer.
d. Loosen the mounting screw of the second transducer, and move the
transducer to the 9 o’clock position. Tighten the mounting screw
to secure the transducer.
e. Remove the strap from the pipe, and apply sonic coupling
compound to each transducer surface.
f. Reposition the strap on the pipe, placing the transducers in the
proper positions.

Warning To prevent the possibility of electrical shock and/or damage to
the meter, do not mount the enclosure where it can be submerged or
partially submerged. ▲
SX40 User Guide
1. Locate a sturdy, vertical mounting surface.
2. Remove the meter access cover, and locate the 4 mounting holes (1 in
each corner of the cover).
3. Attach the enclosure to the wall using the mounting screws.
4. Replace the meter access cover.

Installation & Wiring
Warning Prevent possible electrical shock and/or damage to the meter:
Disconnect power to the meter PRIOR TO wiring. ▲
Caution Connecting AC power to a DC power meter may damage the
meter. ▲
Note CE certifications require that a switch or circuit breaker be installed
in close proximity to the instrument and be labeled as the instrument
disconnect. ▲
Refer to the following instructions and Figure 2- -- 7 when wiring the
instrument for AC power.
Wiring
1. Remove the meter access cover.
2. Locate the AC input voltage selector, and turn the switch to 110 or 220
V to match the power line voltage.
3. Locate the L1, L2/N, and GND connections within power input block.
4. Turn the terminal screws on top of the input block counterclockwise to
fully open the wire connections.
5. Make the following connections:
a. Ground wire to GND (CE certification requires less than 1 ohm
between terminal and ground)
b. Hot wire to L1
c. If the input voltage is 110 V, neutral wire to L2/N
d. If the input voltage is 220 V, second hot wire to L2/N
6. Turn the terminal screws clockwise to close them connections.
7. Ensure the wires are securely connected to the input block, and replace
the meter access cover.
