QUICK INSTALL
This manual contains detailed operating instructions for all aspects of the FSR Series.
The following condensed instructions are provided to assist the operator in getting
the instrument started up and running as quickly as possible. This pertains to basic
operation only. If specic instrument features are to be used or if the installer is
unfamiliar with this type of instrument, refer to the appropriate sec tion in the
manual for complete details.
Note: The following steps require informati on supplied by the meter itself, so it is necessary to
supply power to the unit, at least temp orarily, to obtain setup informatio n.
1 - Transducer Location
1. In general, selec t a mounting location on the piping system with a minimum of
10 pipe diameters (10x the pipe inside diameter) of straight pipe upstream and 5
straight diameters downstream. See Table 2.1 for additional congurations.
2. Select a mounting method for the transducers based on pipe size and liquid
characteristics. See Table 2.2. Transducer congurations are illustrated in Figure
Q.1 below. The V-mount conguration is usually the rst choice, with W-mount
and Z-mount used if needed to boost signal strength.
Note: All FST1xxxx, FST2xxx x, and FST3xxxx transducers use V-Mount congu ration.
3. Enter the following data into the meter via the integral keypad or the software
utility (if not entered by the factory)
INSTALLATION GUIDE
2 - Electrical Connections
Transducer/Power Connections
1. Route the transducer cables from the transducer mounting location back to the
enclosure. Connect the transducer wires to the terminal block in the enclosure.
Note: Do not cut transducer cables to alter length. This will void the
factory warranty. Cables are available in several lengths. Assess the
installation location prior to ordering to determine the optimum
length. If the wrong length is ordered, contact the factory.
2. Verify that power supply is correct for the meters power option.
AC units require 95 to 265 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz @ 17 VA maximum. DC units
require 10 to 28 VDC @ 5 Watts maximum.

INTRODUCTION
General
The Veris ultrasonic ow meter is designed to measure the uid velocity of liquid
within a closed conduit. The transducers are a non-contacting clamp-on or clamparound type that does not foul and is easy to install.
The Veris family of transit time ow meters utilize two transducers that function
as both ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. The transducers are clamped on
the outside of a closed pipe at a specic distance from each other. The transducers
can be mounted in V-Mount where the sound transverses the pipe two times,
W-Mount where the sound transverses the pipe four times, or in Z-Mount where the
transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe and the sound crosses the pipe
once. The selection of mounting method is based on pipe and liquid characteristics
that both have an eect on how much signal is generated. The ow meter operates
by alternately transmitting and receiving a frequency modulated burst of sound
energy between the two transducers and measuring the time interval that it takes
for sound to travel between the two transducers. The dierence in the time interval
measured is directly related to the velocity of the liquid in the pipe.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Because the transducers are non-contacting and have no moving parts, the ow
meter is not aected by system pressure, fouling, or wear. FST4 and FST5 transducers
are rated to a pipe surface temperature of -40 to +250 °F (-40 to +121 °C). FST1, FST2,
and FST3 small pipe transducers are rated from -40 to +185 °F (-40 to +85 °C).

PART 1 - MONITOR INSTALLATION
After unpacking, save the shipping carton and packing materials in case the
instrument is stored or re-shipped. Inspect the equipment and carton for damage. If
there is evidence of shipping damage, notify the carrier immediately.
Mount the enclosure in an area that is convenient for servicing, calibration, and
observation of the LCD readout.
1. Locate the monitor within the length of transducer cables supplied. If this is
not possible, it is recommended that the cable be exchanged for one that is of
proper length. If additional cable is added, utilize RG59 75 Ω coaxial cable and
BNC connections. Transducer cables that are up to 990 feet (300 meters) can be
accommodated.
2. Mount the monitor in a location:
• Where little vibration exists.
• That is protected from corrosive uids.
• That is within the monitor’s ambient temperature limits -40 to +185°F
(-40 to +85°C).
• That is out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may increase monitor
temperature to above the maximum limit.
3. Mounting - Refer to Figure 1.2 for enclosure and mounting dimension details.
Ensure that enough room is available to allow for door swing, maintenance and
conduit entrances. Secure the enclosure to a at surface with two appropriate
fasteners.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Transducer Connections
To access terminal strips for wiring, loosen the two screws in the enclosure door and
open.
Guide the transducer terminations through the monitor conduit hole located in the
bottom-left of the enclosure. Secure the transducer cable with the supplied conduit
nut (if exible conduit was ordered with the transducer).
The terminals within the unit are of a screw-down barrier terminal type. Connec t
the appropriate wires at the corresponding screw terminals in the monitor. Observe
upstream and downstream (+/–) orientation. See Figure 1.3.

PART 2 - TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION GUIDE
General
The FST transducers contain piezoelectric crystals for transmitting and receiving
ultrasonic signals through walls of liquid piping systems. FST transducers are
relatively simple and straightforward to install, but spacing and alignment of the
transducers is critical to the system’s accuracy and performance. Take care to ensure
that these instructions are carefully executed. FST1, FST2, and FST3 small pipe
transducers have integrated transmitter and receiver elements that eliminate the
requirement for spacing measurement and alignment.
Mounting of the FST4 and FST5 clamp-on ultrasonic transit time transducers is a
three-step process:
1. Select the optimum location on a piping system.
2. Enter the pipe and liquid parameters into either the sof tware utility or key the
parameters into the transmitter using the keypad. The software utility or the
monitor’s rmware calculates proper transducer spacing based on these entries.
3. Pipe preparation and transducer mounting.
BTU meters require two RTDs to measure heat usage. The ow meter utilizes 1,000 Ω,
three-wire, platinum RTDs in two mounting styles. Surface mount RTDs are available
for use on well insulated pipes. Mounting the RTD in an uninsulated area causes
inconsistent temperature readings. Insertion (wetted) RTDs should be sued in these
areas instead.
Step 1 - Mounting Location
The rst step in the installation process is the selection of an optimum location for
the ow measurement to be made. This requires a basic knowledge of the piping
system and its plumbing.

Diameters
An optimum location is dened as:
• A piping system that is completely full of liquid when measurements are
being taken. The pipe may become completely empty during a process
cycle, which results in the error code 0010 (Low Signal Strength) being
displayed on the ow meter while the pipe is empty. This error code clears
automatically once the pipe rells with liquid. It is not recommended to
mount the transducers in an area where the pipe may become par tially
lled. Partially lled pipes cause erroneous and unpredictable operation
of the meter.
• A piping system that contains lengths of straight pipe such as
those described in Table 2.1. The optimum straight pipe diameter
recommendations apply to pipes in both horizontal and vertical
orientation. The straight runs in Table 2.1 apply to liquid velocities that
are nominally 7 FPS (2.2 MPS). As liquid velocity increases above this
nominal rate, the requirement for straight pipe increases proportionally.
• Mount the transducers in an area where they will not be inadvertently
bumped or disturbed during normal operation.
• Avoid installations on downward owing pipes unless adequate
downstream head pressure is present to overcome partial lling of or
cavitation in the pipe.
• Note: Do not cut transducer cables to alter length. This will
void the factory warranty. Cables are available in several
lengths. Assess the installation location prior to ordering to
determine the optimum length. If the wrong length is ordered,
contact the factory.
Table 2.1 - Piping Conguration and Transducer Positioning
The ow meter system provides repeatable measurements on piping systems that do
not meet these requirements, but accuracy of these readings may be inuenced to
various degrees.
Step 2 - Transducer Spacing
Transit time ow meters can be used with two dierent transducer types. Meters
that utilize the FST4 and FST5 transducer sets consist of two separate sensors
that function as both ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. FST1, FST2, and FST3
transducers integrate both the transmitter and receiver into one assembly that xes
the separation of the piezoelectric crystals. These transducers are clamped on the
outside of a closed pipe at a specic distance from each other.
The FST4 and FST5 transducers can be mounted in:
W-Mount where the sound traverses the pipe four times. This mounting
method produces the best relative travel time values but the weakest signal
strength.
V-Mount where the sound traverses the pipe twice. V-Mount is a compromise
between travel time and signal strength.
Z-Mount where the transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe
and the sound crosses the pipe once. Z-Mount will yield the best signal
strength but the smallest relative travel time.

Table 2.2 - Transducer Mounting Modes — FST4, FST5
For further details, reference Figure 2.1. The appropriate mounting conguration is
based on pipe and liquid characteristics. Selection of the proper transducer mounting
method is not entirely predictable and many times is an iterative process. Table 2.2
contains recommended mounting congurations for common applications. These
recommended congurations may need to be modied for specic applications
if such things as aeration, suspended solids, out of round piping or poor piping
conditions are present. Use of meter diagnostics in determining the optimum
transducer mounting is covered later in this section.

Step 3 - Entering Pipe and Liquid Data
The system calculates proper transducer spacing by utilizing piping and liquid
information entered by the user. Enter this information via the keypad or via the
optional software utility.
The best accuracy is achieved when transducer spacing is exactly what the meter
calculates, so use the calculated spacing if signal strength is satisfactory. If the pipe is
not round, the wall thickness is not correct, or the actual liquid being measured has a
dierent sound speed than the liquid programmed into the transmitter, the spacing
can vary from the calculated value. If that is the case, place the transducers sat the
highest signal level obser ved by moving the transducers slowly around the mount
area.
Note: Transducer spacing is calculated on “ideal” pipe. Ideal p ipe is almost never found so the
transducer spacing distances may need to be altered. An eec tive way to maximize signal strength
is to congure the display to show signal strength, x o ne transducer on the pipe and then starting
at the calculated spacing, move the rema ining transducer small distances forward and back to
nd the maximum signal s trength point.
Important! Enter all of the data on this list, save the data, and reset the
meter before mounting transducers.

Before mounting the transducers onto the pipe surface, clean an area slightly larger
than the at surface of each transducer to eliminate all rust, scale and moisture.
For pipes with rough surfaces, such as ductile iron pipe, wire brush the surface to a
shiny nish. Paint and other coatings need not be removed unless aked or bubbled.
Plastic pipes typically do not require surface preparation other than soap and water
cleaning.
Properly orient the transducers and spaced them on the pipe to provide optimum
reliability and per formance. On horizontal pipes, when Z-Mount is required, mount
the transducers 180 radial degrees from one another and at least 45 degrees from
the top-dead-center and bottom-dead-center of the pipe. See Figure 2.2 Also see
Z-Mount Transducer Installation. On vertical pipes the orientation is not critical.
Measure the spacing between the transducers using the two spacing mark s on the
sides of the transducers. These marks are approximately 0.75” (19 mm) back from the
nose of the FST4/FST5 transducers. See Figure 2.3.
Mount FST1, FST2, and FST3 transducers with the cable exiting within ±45 degrees
of the side of a horizontal pipe. See Figure 2.2. On vertical pipes the orientation does
not apply.

V-Mount and W-Mount Installation
Application of Couplant
For FST4 and FST5 transducers, place a single bead of couplant, approximately ½
inch (12 mm) thick, on the at face of the transducer. See Figure 2.4. Generally, a
silicone-based grease is used as an acoustic couplant, but any grease-like substance
that is rated not to “ow” at the temperature that the pipe may operate at will be
acceptable. For pipe surface temperature over 130°F (55°C) Sonotemp® (P.N. D0022011-010) is recommended.

Transducer Positioning
1. Place the upstream transducer in position and secure with a mounting strap. Place
straps in the arched groove on the end of the transducer. A screw is provided to
help hold the transducer onto the strap. Tighten the transducer strap securely.
2. Place the downstream transducer on the pipe at the calculated transducer spacing.
See Figure 2.5. Apply rm hand pressure. If signal strength is greater than 5,
secure the transducer at this location. If the signal strength is not 5 or greater
then using rm hand pressure, slowly move the transducer both towards and
away from the upstream transducer while observing signal strength. Clamp
thetransducer where the highest signal strength is observed. Signal levels much
less than 5 may not yield acceptable data.
Note: Signal strength readings upd ate only every few seconds, so it is advisable to move
the transducer 1/8”, wait, see if signal is increasing or decreasing and then repeat unti l
the highest level is achieved.
3. If after adjustment of the transducers the signal strength does not rise to above 5,
then select an alternate transducer mounting method. If the mounting method
was W-Mount, then re-congure the monitor for V-Mount, move the downstream
transducer to the new spacing distance and repeat Step 4.
Small Pipe Transducer Installation
The small pipe transducers are designed for specic pipe outside diameters. Do not
attempt to mount a transducer onto a pipe that is either too large or too small for the
transducer.
FST1, FST2, and FST3 installation consists of the following steps:
1. Apply a thin coating of acoustic coupling grease to both halves of the transducer
housing where the housing will contact the pipe. See Figure 2.6.
1/16” (1.5 mm)
Acoustic Couplant Grease
Figure 2.6 - Application of Acoustic Couplant — FST1, FST2, FST3 Transducers
2. On horizontal pipes, mount the transducer in an orientation such that the cable
exits at ±45 degrees from the side of the pipe. Do not mount with the cable
exiting on either the top or bottom of the pipe. On vertical pipes the orientation
does not matter. See Figure 2.2.

3. Tighten the wing nuts or “U” bolts so that the acoustic coupling grease begins to
ow out from the edges of the transducer or from the gap between the transducer
halves. Do not over tighten.
4. If signal strength is less than 5, remount the transducer at another location on the
piping system.

Mounting Transducers in Z-Mount Configuration
Installation on larger pipes requires careful measurements of the linear and radial
placement of the FST4 and FST5 transducers. Failure to properly orient and place the
transducers on the pipe may lead to weak signal strength and/or inaccurate readings.
1. Place the transducers on opposite sides of the pipe. This distance around the pipe
is calculated by multiplying the pipe diameter by 1.57. The transducer spacing
along the pipe is the same as found in the Transducer Positioning section.
2. For FST4 and FST5 transducers, place a single bead of couplant, approximately ½
inch (12 mm) thick, on the at face of the transducer. See Figure 2.4. Generally,
a silicone-based grease is used as an acoustic couplant, but any good quality
grease-like substance that is rated to not “ow” at the temperature that the pipe
may operate at is acceptable.
3. Place the upstream transducer in position and secure with a stainless steel strap
or other fastening device. Place straps in the arched groove on the end of the
transducer. A screw is provided to help hold the transducer onto the strap. Tighten
transducer strap securely. Larger pipes may require more than one strap to reach
the circumference of the pipe.
4. Place the downstream transducer on the pipe at the calculated transducer spacing.
See Figure 2.7. Using rm hand pressure, slowly move the transducer both towards
and away from the upstream transducer while observing signal strength. Clamp
the transducer at the position where the highest signal strength is observed.
Signal strength of between 5 and 98 is acceptable. The fac tory default signal
strength setting is 5, however there are many application specic conditions that
may prevent the signal strength from attaining this level.
A minimum signal strength of 5 is acceptable as long as this signal level is
maintained under all ow conditions. On certain pipes, a slight twist to the
transducer may cause signal strength to rise to acceptable levels.
5. Certain pipe and liquid characteristics may cause signal strength to rise to greater
than 98. At this level, the signals may saturate the input ampliers and cause
erratic readings. To lower the signal strength, change the transducer mounting
method to the next longest transmission path. For example, if there is excessive
signal strength and the transducers are mounted in a Z-Mount, try changing to
V-Mount or W-Mount. Finally you can also move one transducer slightly o line
with the other transducer to lower signal strength.
6. Secure the transducer with a stainless steel strap or other fastener.

FSRxxxx SERIES
INSTALLATION GUIDE
General
The FSR1 is available in two congurations: the ow model and the energy model.
The ow model is equipped with a 4-20 mA output, two open collec tor outputs, a
rate frequency output, and RS-485 communications using the Modbus RTU command
set. The energy version has inputs for two 1,000 Ω RTD sensors in place of the rate
frequency and alarm outputs. This version allows the measurement of pipe input and
output temperatures for calculating energy usage calculations.
4-20 mA Output
The 4-20 mA output interfaces with most recording and logging systems by
transmitting an analog current signal that is propor tional to system ow rate. The
4-20 mA output is internally powered (current sourcing) and can span negative to
positive ow/energy rates.
For AC powered units, the 4-20 mA output is driven from a +15 VDC source located
within the meter, isolated from earth ground connections. The AC powered model
accommodates loop loads up to 400 Ω. DC powered meters utilize the DC power
supply voltage to drive the current loop. The current loop is not isolated from DC
ground or power. Figure 3.1 shows graphically the allowable loads for various input
voltages. The combination of input voltage and loop load must stay within the
shaded area of Figure 3.1.

The ow rate output permits output changeover at two separate ow rates allowing
operation with an adjustable switch deadband. Figure 3.5 illustrates how the setting
of the two set points inuences rate alarm operation.
A single-point ow rate alarm places the ON setting slightly higher than the OFF
setting, establishing a switch deadband. If a deadband is not established, switch
chatter (rapid switching) may result if the ow rate is very close to the switch point.

Totalizer Output for Energy Meter
Energy units can be ordered with a totalizer pulse output option. This option is
installed in the position where the Ethernet option would normally be; therefore,
the totalizer pulse output option and the Ethernet communications output cannot be

Optional totalizing pulse specications:
Signal 1 pulse for each increment of the totalizer’s least signicant digit

Totalizer mode congures the output to send a 33 mSec pulse each time the display
totalizer increments divided by the TOT MULT. The TOT MULT value must be a whole,
positive, numerical value.
Fir example, If the totalizer exponent (TOTL E) is set to E2 (×100) and the totalizer
multiplier (TOT MULT) is set to 1, then the control output pulses each time the display
totalizer increments or once per 100 measurement units totalized.
Signal Strength Alarm
The SIG STR alarm provides an indication that the signal level reported by the
transducers has fallen to a point where ow measurements may not be possible.
It can also be used to indicated that the pipe has emptied. Like the rate alarm
described previously, the signal strength alarm requires that two points be entered,
establishing an alarm deadband. The ON value must be lower than the OFF value. If a
deadband is not established and the signal strength decreases to approximately the
value of the switch point, the output may “chatter.”
Error Alarm Outputs
When a control output is set to ERROR mode, the output activates when an error
causes the meter to stop measuring reliably. See the Appendix of this manual for a list
of potential error codes.

Frequency Output [FSRxxx1x only]
The frequency output is an open-collector transistor circuit that outputs a pulse
waveform that varies proportionally with ow rate. This type of frequency output is
also know as a “Rate Pulse” output. The frequency output is proportional to the max
ow rate entered into the meter. The maximum output frequency is 1000 Hz.
In addition to the control outputs, the frequency output can be used to provide total
information by use of a K-factor that relates the number of pulses from the frequenc y
output to the number of accumulated pulses that equates to a specic volume.
This relationship is described by the following equation: K-factor = 60,000 / full scale
units. The 60,000 relates to measurement units in volume/min. Measurement units in
seconds, hours or days would require a dierent numerator.
If the frequency output is to be used as a totalizing output, then the meter and the
receiving instrument must have identical K-factor values programmed into them
to ensure that accurate readings are recorded by the receiving instrument. Unlike
standard mechanical ow meters such as turbines, gear or nutating disk meters, the
K-factor can be changed by modifying the MAX RATE ow rate value.
Note: For a full treatment of K-factors p lease see the Appendix of this manual.
There are two frequency output types available:
1.) Turbine meter simulation - This option is utilized when a receiving
instrument is capable of interfacing directly with a turbine ow meter’s
magnetic pickup. The output is a relatively low voltage AC signal whose
amplitude swings above and below the signal ground reference. The
minimum AC amplitude is approximately 500 mV peak-to-peak. To activate
the turbine output circuit, turn SW4 OFF .
To interconnect meters, utilize three-wire shielded cable such as Belden® 9939 or
equal. In noisy environments, connect the shield on one end to earth ground. Use a
USB to RS-485 converter to communicate with a PC running Windows 98, Windows
ME, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
For computers with RS-232C serial ports, use an RS-232C to RS-485 converter to
interconnect the RS-485 network to a communication port on a PC. If monitoring
more than 126 meters, use an additional converter and communication port.

a peak voltage equaling the instrument supply voltage when the SW3 is ON.
If desired, an external pull-up resistor and power source can be utilized by
leaving SW3 OFF. Set SW4 to ON for a square-wave output.

RS-485
The RS-485 feature allows up to 126 metering systems to be placed on a single threewire cable bus. Each meter is assigned a unique numeric address that allows all of the
meters on the cable network to be independently accessed. A Modbus RTU command
protocol is used to interrogate the meters. An explanation of the command structure
is detailed in the APPENDIX of this manual. Flow rate, total, signal strength and
temperature (if so equipped) can be monitored over the digital communications bus.
Baud rates up to 9600 and cable lengths to 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) are supported
without repeaters or “end of line” resistors.

Installation of Surface Mount RTDs
Only use surface mount RTDs on well insulated pipe. Installing the RTD in an
uninsulated area causes inconsistent temperature readings.
Select areas on the supply and return pipes to mount the RTDs. Remove or peel back
the insulation all the way around the pipe in the installation area. Clean an area
slightly larger than the RTD down to bare metal on the pipe.
Place a small amount of heat sink compound on the pipe in the RTD installation
location. See Figure 3.11. Press the RTD rmly into the compound. Fasten the RTD to
the pipe with the included stretch tape.

Installation of Insertion RTDs
Insertion RTDs are typically installed through ¼ inch (6 mm) compression ttings
and isolation ball valves. Inser t the RTD suciently into the ow stream such that a
minimum of ¼ inch (6 mm) of the probe tip extends into the pipe diameter. Only use
insertion (wetted) RTDs on pipes that are not insulated.
Mount RTDs within ±45 degrees of the side of a horizontal pipe. On vertical pipes the
orientation is not critical. Route the RTD cables back to the ow meter and secure the
cable so that it will not be pulled on or abraded inadvertently.
If the cables are not long enough to reach the meter, route the cables to an elec trical
junction box and add additional cable from that point. Use three-wire shielded cable,
such as Belden® 9939 or equal, for this purpose.
Note: Adding cable adds to the resistance the meter reads and may h ave an eect on absolute
accuracy. If cable is added, ensure that the same length is ad ded to both RTDs to minimize errors
due to changes in cable resistance.
Wiring to Meter
After the RTDs have been mounted to the pipe, route the cable back to the meter
through the middle hole in the enclosure. Connect to the meter inserting the RTD
connector into the mating connector on the circuit board.

PART 4 - STARTUP AND CONFIGURATION
Before Starting the Instrument
Note: Flow meter systems require a full pipe of l iquid before a successful start-up can be
completed. Do not at tempt to make adjustmen ts or change congurations until a full pipe is
veried.
Note: If Dow 732 RTV was used to couple the transducers to the pipe, the adhesive must be
fully cured before readin gs are attempted. Dow 732 requires 24 hours to cure satisfactoril y. If
Sonotemp® acoustic coupling grease was utilized as a coupla nt, curing is not required.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Instrument Startup
1. Verify that all wiring is properly connec ted and routed, as described in Part 1 of
this manual.
2. Verify that the transducers are properly mounted, as described in Part 2 of this
manual.
3. Apply power. The display briey shows a software version number and then all of
the segments illuminate in succession.
Important!: In order to complete the installation of the ow meter, the
pipe must be full of liquid.
To verify proper installation and ow measurement operation:
1. Go to the SER MENU and conrm that signal strength (SIG STR) is between 5 and
98. If the signal strength is lower than 5, verify that proper transducer mounting
methods and liquid/pipe characteristics have been entered. To increase signal
strength, if a W-Mount transducer installation was selected, re-congure for a
V-Mount installation (standard from factory); if V-Mount was selected, recongure for Z-Mount.
Note: Mounting conguration change s apply only to FST4, FST5 transducer sets.
2. Verify that the actual measured liquid sound speed is within 2% of the value
entered as FLUID SS in the BSC MENU. The measured liquid sound speed (SSPD
FPS and SSPD MPS) is displayed in the SER MENU. The pipe must be full of liquid in
order to make this measurement.
Keypad Programming
Congure units with keypads using the keypad interface or by using the Windows®
compatible software utility. Units without a keypad can only be congured using the
software utility. See Part 5 of this manual for software details. Of the two methods
of conguration, the sof tware utility provides more advanced features and oers
the ability to store and transfer meter congurations between meters. All entries
are saved in non-volatile ash memor y and are retained indenitely in the event of
power loss.
The four-key tactile feedback keypad interface allows the user to view and change
conguration parameters used by the operating system.

This list is provided as an example. Additional liquids are added periodically. Select
the appropriate liquid from the list or select OTHER if the liquid is not listed.
16. Fluid Sound Speed
FLUID SS -- Speed of Sound in the Fluid (Value): ENGLSH (Feet per Second), METRIC
(Meters per Second)
Allows adjustments to be made to the speed of sound entry for the liquid. If the
UNITS value was set to ENGLSH, the entry is in FPS (feet per second). METRIC entries
are made in MPS (meters per second).
If a uid was chosen from the FL TYPE list, a nominal value for speed of sound in that
media is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given application.
If OTHER was chosen as FL TYPE, a FLUID SS will need to be entered. A list of alternate
uids and their associated sound speeds is located in the Appendix located at the
back of this manual.
Fluid sound speed may also be found using the Target DBg Data screen available in
the software utility. See Part 5.
17. Fluid Viscosity
FLUID VI -- Absolute Viscosity of the Fluid (Value - cP)
Allows adjustments to be made to the absolute viscosity of the liquid in centipoise.
If a liner was chosen from the LINER MA list, a nominal value for speed of sound
in that media is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given
application.
14. Liner Roughness
LINER R -- Liner Material Relative Roughness (Value): Unitless Value
Provides ow prole compensation in its ow measurement calculation. The ratio of
average surface imperfection as it relates to the pipe internal diameter is used in this
compensation and is found by using the following formula.
Liner R = (linear RMS of the liner’s internal wall surface) / (inner diameter of liner)
Flow meters utilize pipe size, viscosity and specic gravity to calculate Reynolds
numbers. Since the Reynolds number inuences ow prole, the meter must
compensate for the relatively high velocities at the pipe center during transitional or
laminar ow conditions. The entr y of FLUID VI is utilized in the calculation of Reynolds
and the resultant compensation values.
If a uid was chosen from the FL TYPE list, a nominal value for viscosity in that media
is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given application.
If OTHER was chosen as FL TYPE, then a FLUID VI must also be entered. A list of
alternate uids and their associated viscosities is located the Appendix located at the
back of this manual.
If a liner material was chosen from the LINER MA list, a nominal value for relative
roughness in that material is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a
given application.

18. Fluid Specic Gravity
SP GRAVTY -- Fluid Specic Gravity Entry (Value): Unitless Value
Allows adjustments to be made to the specic gravity (density relative to water) of
the liquid.
As stated previously in the FLUID VI section, specic gravity is utilized in the Reynolds
correction algorithm. It is also utilized if mass ow measurement units are selected
for rate or total.
If a uid was chosen from the FL TYPE list, a nominal value for specic gravity in that
media is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given application.
If OTHER was chosen as FL TYPE, a SP GRVTY may need to be entered if mass ows
are to be calculated. A list of alternate uids and their associated specic gravities is
located in the Appendix of this manual.
19. Fluid Specic Heat Capacity
SP HEAT -- Fluid Specic Heat Capacity (Value): BTU/lb
Allows adjustments to be made to the specic heat capacity of the liquid.
If a uid was chosen from the FL TYPE list, a default specic heat will be

TOTL E -- Flow Totalizer Exponent Value (Choice): E(-1) to E6
Utilized for setting the ow totalizer exponent. This feature is useful for
accommodating a very large accumulated ow or to increase totalizer resolution
when ows are small (displaying fractions of whole barrels, gallons, etc.) The
exponent is a × 10n multiplier, where “n” can be from –1 (× 0.1) to +6 (×
1,000,000). Reference table 4.4 for valid entries and their inuence on the display.
Selection of E-1 and E0 adjust the decimal point on the display. Selection of E1, E2 and

RATE to the highest (positive) ow rate expected in the piping system.
27. Low Flow Cut-o
FL C-OFF -- Low Flow Cut-o (Value): 0-100%
A low ow cut-o entry is provided to allow very low ow rates (that can be present
when pumps are o and valves are closed) to be displayed as zero ow. Typical values
that should be entered are bet ween 1.0% and 5.0% of the ow range between MIN
RATE and MAX RATE.
28. Damping Percentage
DAMP PER -- System Damping (Value): 0-100%
Flow lter damping establishes a maximum adaptive lter value. Under stable
ow conditions (ow varies less than 10% of reading), this adaptive lter increases
the number of successive ow readings that are averaged together up to this
maximum value. If ow changes outside of the 10% window, the ow lter adapts
by decreasing the number of averaged readings, allowing the meter to react
faster. Increasing this value tends to provide smoother steady-state ow readings
and outputs. If very erratic ow conditions are present or expected, other lters
are available for use in the sof tware utility. See Part 5 of this manual for further
information.

mA Tes t)
The CH1 menu controls how the 4-20 mA output is spanned for all models and how
the frequency output is spanned for the non-BTU ow model.
The FL 4MA and FL 20MA settings are used to set the span for both the 4-20 mA
output and the 0-1000 Hz frequenc y output on the non-BTU meter versions.
The 4-20 mA output is internally powered (current sourcing) and can span negative
to positive ow/energy rates. This output inter faces with virtually all recording and
logging systems by transmitting an analog current proportional to the system ow
rate. Independent 4 mA and 20 mA span settings are established in rmware using
the ow measuring range entries. These entries can be set anywhere in the -40 to
+40 FPS (-12 to +12 MPS) range of the instrument. Resolution of the output is 12-bits
(4096 discrete points) and they can drive up to a 400 Ω load when the meter is AC
powered. When powered by a DC supply, the load is limited by the input voltage
supplied to the instrument. See Figure 3.1 for allowable loop loads.

FL 4MA -- Flow at 4 mA
FL 20MA -- Flow at 20 mA
The FL 4MA and FL 20MA entries are used to set the span of the 4-20 mA analog
output and the frequency output. These entries are volumetric rate units that are
equal to the volumetric units congured as RATE UNT and RATE INT.
This setting also sets the span for the frequency output. At the minimum ow rate,
the output frequency is 0 Hz. At the maximum ow rate, the output frequency is
1000 Hz.
The 4-20 mA output is factor y calibrated and should not require adjustment. If small
adjustments to the DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) are needed, use the CAL 4mA
and CAL 20 MA.
CAL 4 MA -- 4 mA DAC Calibration Entr y (Value)
CAL 20 MA-- 20 mA DAC Calibration Entry (Value)
The CAL 4MA and CAL 20 MA entries allow ne adjustments to be made to the “zero”
and full scale of the 4-20 mA output. To adjust the outputs, an ammeter or reliable
reference connection to the 4-20 mA output must be present.
Note: Calibration of the 20 mA setting is conduc ted much the same way as the 4 mA adjustments.
Note: The CAL 4MA and CAL 20MA entries should not b e used in an attempt to set the 4-20 mA
range. Utilize FL 4MA and FL 20MA, detailed above, for this purpose.
4 mA Calibration Procedure:
CH2 Menu -- Channel 2 Menu
The CH2 menu is used to congure model specic I/O options. The non-BTU meter
presents a dierent set of parameters than the BTU meter.
Note: Choose the correct menu type fo r the meter in use. The software does not prohibit se lecting
options pertaini ng only to the non-BTU meter when a BTU meter is present, and vice versa.
However, the outputs or meter readings will be u npredictable.
1. Channel 2 Options
CH2 Menu -- Channel 2 I/O Options (Choice): RTD -- Input Values for BTU Meters
(Values), CONTROL/HZ -- Output Options for non-BTU Meters
2. BTU Options
RTD -- Calibration Values (Value): RTD1 A (Calibration Value for RTD1 A), RTD1
B (Calibration Value for RTD1 B), RTD2 A (Calibration Value for RTD2 A), RTD2 B
(Calibration Value for RTD2 B)
Inputs from two 1000 Ω platinum RTD temperature sensors allow measurements of
heating or cooling usage.
The values used to calibrate the RTD temperature sensors are derived in the
laboratory and are specic to the RTD and to the electronic circuit it is connected to.
The RTDs on new units come with the calibration values already entered into the
meter. Field replacement of RTDs is possible using the keypad or the software utility.
If the RTDs were ordered from the manufacturer, they arrive with calibration values
to load into the meter.
1) Disconnect one side of the current loop and connect the ammeter in series
(disconnect either wire at the terminals labeled 4-20 mA Out or Signal Gnd).
2) Using the arrow keys, increase the numerical value to increase the current
in the loop to 4 mA. Decrease the value to decrease the current in the loop to
4 mA. Typical values range between 40-80 counts.
3) Reconnect the 4-20 mA output circuitry as required.
20 mA Calibration Procedure:
1) Disconnect one side of the current loop and connect the ammeter in series
(disconnect either wire at the terminals labeled 4-20 mA Out or Signal Gnd).
2) Using the arrow keys, increase the numerical value to increase the current
in the loop to 20 mA. Decrease the value to decrease the current in the loop to
20 mA. Typical values range between 3700-3900 counts.
3) Reconnect the 4-20 mA output circuitry as required.
2. 4-20 TST -- 4-20 mA Output Test (Value)
Allows a simulated ow value to be sent from the 4-20 mA output. Increment this
value to transmit the indicated current value.
New, non-calibrated RTDs require eld calibration using an ice bath and boiling water
to derive calibration values. This procedure is outlined in the Appendix of this manual.
Available RTD styles:
• Surface mount RTD temperature sensors: set of two, 130°C max.
temperature (20 feet of cable, other lengths available)
• Insertion RTD temperature sensors: single, 3 inch (75 mm), 0.25 inch O.D.
(other lengths available)

INSTALLATION GUIDE
SER Menu -- Service Menu
The SER MENU menu allows access to meter set up values that may need revision due
to application specic conditions and information valuable in troubleshooting.
SER MENU -- Service Menu:
1. SSPD MPS -- Liquid Sound Speed (Meters per Second) (Reported by Firmware)
2. SSPD FPS -- Liquid Sound Speed (Feet per Second) (Reported by Firmware)
The meter performs an actual speed of sound calculation for the liquid it is
measuring. This speed of sound calculation varies with temperature, pressure and
uid composition.
The meter compensates for uid sound speeds that vary within a window of ± 10%
of the liquid specied in the BSC MENU. If this range is exceeded, error code 0011
appears on the display and the sound speed entry must be corrected.
The value indicated in SSPD measurement should be within 10% of the value
entered/indicated in the BSC MENU item FLUID SS. (The SSPD value itself cannot be
edited.) If the actual measured value is signicantly dierent (> ± 10%) than the BSC
MENUs FLUID SS value, it typically indicates a problem with the instrument setup. An
entry such as FL TYPE, PIPE OD or PIPE WT may be in error, the pipe may not be round,
or the transducer spacing is not correct.
Table 4.5 lists sound speed values for water at varying temperatures. If the meter is
measuring sound speed within 2% of the table values, then the installation and setup
of the instrument is correct.

3. SIG STR -- Signal Strength (Reported by Firmware)
The SIG STR value is a relative indication of the amount of ultrasound making it
from the transmitting transducer to the receiving transducer. The measurement of
signal strength assists service personnel in troubleshooting the system. In general,
expect the signal strength readings greater than 5 on a full pipe with the transducers
properly mounted. Signal strength readings that are less than 5 indicate a need to
choose an alternative mounting method for the transducers or that an improper pipe
size has been entered.
Signal strength below the Low Signal Cuto (SIG C-OF) value will generate a 0010
error (Low Signal Strength) and require either a change in the SIG C-OF value or
transducer mounting changes.
Note: If the unit is congured to display totalizer values, th e display will alternate between ERROR
0010 and the totalizer value.
Signal strength readings in excess of 98 indicate that a longer path length between
the transducers is needed. For example, if transducers mounted on a 3 inch PVC
pipe in V-Mount cause the measured signal strength value to exceed 98, change the
mounting method to W-Mount for greater stability in readings.
Because signal strength is not an “absolute” indication of how well a meter is
functioning, there is no real advantage to a signal strength of 50 over a signal
strength of 10.
TEMP 1 -- Temperature of RTD 1 (Reported by Firmware in °C): When RTD is
selected from the CH2 menu and RTDs are connected to the BTU meter, the
rmware displays the temperature measured by RTD 1 in °C.
TEMP 2 -- Temperature of RTD 2 (Reported by Firmware in °C): When RTD is
selected from the CH2 menu and RTDs are connected to the BTU meter, the
rmware displays the temperature measured by RTD 2 in °C.
TEMPDIFF -- Temperature dierence (Reported by Firmware in °C): When RTD
is selected from the CH2 menu and RTDs are connected to the BTU meter, the
rmware displays the dierence in temperature measured between RTD 1
and RTD 2 in °C.
4. SIG C-OF -- Low Signal Cuto (Value): 0.0 - 100.0
The SIG C-OF is used to drive the ow meter and its outputs to the SUB FLOW
(Substitute Flow described below) state if conditions occur that cause low signal
strength. A signal strength below 5 is generally inadequate for measuring ow
reliably, so the minimum setting for SIG C-OF is 5. A good practice is to set the SIG
C-OF at approximately 60 -70% of actual measured maximum signal strength.
Note: The factory default “ Signal Strength Cuto” is 5.
If the measured signal strength is lower than the SIG C-OF setting, error 0010 appears
on the display until the measured signal strength increases to greater than the cuto
value.
A signal strength indication below 2 is considered to be no signal at all. Verif y that
the pipe is full of liquid, the pipe size and liquid parameters are entered correctly and
that the transducers are mounted accurately. Highly aerated liquids cause low signal
strength conditions.

5. SUB FLOW -- Substitute Flow (Value): 0.0 - 100.0
Substitute Flow (SUB FLOW) is a value that the analog outputs and the ow rate
display indicates when an error condition in the ow meter occurs. The typical setting
for this entry is a value that makes the instrument display zero ow during an error
condition.
Substitute ow is set as a percentage between MIN RATE and MAX RATE. In a
unidirectional system, this value is typically set to zero to indicate zero ow while in
an error condition. In a bidirectional system, the percentage can be set such that zero
is displayed in a error condition. To calculate where to set the substitute ow value in
a bidirectional system, perform the following calculation:
Substitute Flow = 100 - (100 × max. ow) / (max. ow - min. ow)
Table 4.6 lists some typical settings to achieve “Zero” with respect to MIN RATE and
MAX RATE settings.

0.0 1000.0 -5.0* -50.00
Table 4.6 - Sample Substitute Flow Readings
*The software utilit y is required to set values outside of 0.0-100.0.
7. D-FLT 0 -- Set Default Zero Point (Choice): NO, YES
If the ow in a piping system cannot be shut o, allowing the SET ZERO procedure
described above to be performed or if an erroneous “zero” ow was captured - like
can happen if SET ZERO is conducted with owing uid, then the factory default zero
should be utilized. To utilize the D-FLT 0 function, simply press ENTER, then press an
arrow ▲▼ key to display YES on the display and then press ENTER.
The default zero places an entry of zero (0) into the rmware instead of the actual
zero oset entered by using the SET ZERO procedure.
8. COR FTR -- Correction Factor (Value): 0.500 - 1.500
This function is used to make the meter agree with a dierent or reference ow
meter by applying a correction factor or multiplier to the readings and outputs. A
factory calibrated system is set to 1.000. The range of settings for this entry is 0.500
to 1.500. The following examples describe two uses for the COR FTR entry.
1) The meter is indicating a ow rate that is 4% higher than another ow
meter located in the same pipe line. To make the D(X)TFX indicate the same
ow rate as the other meter, enter a COR FTR of 0.960 to lower the readings
by 4%.
2) An out-of-round pipe, carrying water, causes the meter to indicate a
measured sound speed that is 7.4% lower than the Table 4.5 value. This pipe
condition causes the ow meter to indicate ow rates that are 7.4% lower
than actual ow. To correct the ow readings, enter 1.074.
6. SET ZERO -- Set Zero Flow Point (Choice): NO, YES
Because every ow meter installation is slightly dierent and sound waves can
travel in slightly dierent ways through these various installations, it is important to
remove the zero oset at zero ow to maintain the meter’s accuracy. A provision is
made using this entry to establish “Zero” ow and eliminate the oset.
Procedure:
1) The pipe must be full of liquid.
2) Flow must be absolute zero - securely close any valves and allow time for
any settling to occur.
3) Press ENTER, use the arrow ▲▼ keys to make the display read YES.
4) Press ENTER.

DSP Menu -- Display Menu
The DISPLAY menu parameters control what is shown on the display and the rate at
which displayed items alternate (dwell time).
1. Display Submenu -- Display Options
DISPLAY -- Display (Choice): FLOW, TOTAL, BOTH
With the DISPLAY set to FLOW, the meter only displays the ow rate. When set
to TOTAL, the meter only displays the total ow. By selecting BOTH, the display
alternates between FLOW and TOTAL at the interval selected in SCN DWL (see below).
2. Total Submenu -- Totalizer Choices
TOTAL -- Totalizer Options (Choice): POS - Positive Flow Only, NEG - Negative Flow
Only, NET - Net Flow, BATCH - Batch Mode
Select POS to view the positive direction total only. Select NEG to view the negative
direction total only. Select NET to display the net dierence between the positive
direction and negative direction totals. Select the BATCH to congure the totalizer to
count up to a value that is entered as BTCH MUL. After reaching the BTCH MUL value,
the display returns to zero and repeats counting to the BTCH MUL value.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
3. Display Dwell Time
SCN DWL -- Dwell Time (Value): 1 to 10 (in Seconds)
Adjustment of SCN DWL sets the time interval for the display to cycle between ow
rate and total ow when the DISPLAY value is set to BOTH. This adjustment range is
from 1 second to 10 seconds.
4. Totalizer Batch Quantity
BTCH MUL -- Batch Multiplier (Value)
If BATCH was chosen for the totalizer mode, enter a value for batch accumulation. This
is the value to which the totalizer accumulates before actuating the control output
pulse and repeating the accumulation. This value includes any exponents that were
entered in the BSC MENU as TOTAL E.
For example:
1) If BTCH MUL is set to 1000, RATE UNT to LITERS and TOTL E to E0 (liters ×
1), then the batch totalizer accumulates to 1000 liters, returns to zero and
repeats indenitely. The totalizer increments 1 count for every 1 liter that has
passed.
2) If BTCH MUL is set to 1000, RATE UNT to LITERS and TOTL E to E2 (liters ×
100), then the batch totalizer accumulates to 100,000 liters, returns to zero
and repeats indenitely. The totalizer only increments 1 count for ever y 100
liters that has passed.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
When using the Standard Congurations drop-down menu alternate, use the
following guidelines to make menu choices:
1) Select the transducer type and pipe size for the transducer to be used. The
rmware automatically enters the appropriate values for that pipe size and
type. Every entry parameter except for Units, Modbus Address, Standard
Congurations, Frequency, Flow Direction, and Specic Heat Capacity are
unavailable behind a “grayed out” entr y box.
2) Go back to the Standard Congurations drop-down menu and selec t
Custom. When Custom is chosen, the previously grayed out selections are
available for editing.
3) Make any changes to the Basic conguration deemed necessary, and press
Download.
4) To ensure that the conguration changes take eec t, turn the power o
and then back on again to the transmitter.
Also under the General heading is a eld for entering a Modbus Address. If the meter
is used on a multi-drop RS-485 net work, assign a unique numerical address in this
box.
Note: This address does not set the Mo dbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP™, BACnet® address. Th at is set via
the web page interface that is integrated into the Etherne t port.
Note: Do not confuse the Modbus Addre ss with the “Device Address” as seen in the upper left-ha nd
corner of the display. The Device Addr is included for p urposes of backward compatibility of rst
generation produc ts. The Device Addr has no function and will no t change when used with current
products.
2. Transducer
Transducer Type is selected from the drop-down list. If you are unsure about the type
of transducer to which the meter will be connected, consult the factory conguration
sheet or call customer support for assistance.
Note: A change of Transducer Type causes a System Conguration Error (1002: Sys Cong
Changed). This error clears when the microp rocessor is reset or power is cycle d on the ow meter.
Transducer Mount selects the orientation of the transducers on the piping system.
See Part 2 of this manual and Table 2.2 for detailed information regarding transducer
mounting modes for particular pipe and liquid characteristics. Whenever Transducer

Transducer Spacing is a value calculated by the rmware that takes into account
pipe, liquid, transducer and mounting information. This spacing adapts as these
parameters are modied. The spacing is given in inches for English units and
millimeters for Metric. This value is the lineal distance that must be between the
transducer alignment marks. Selection of the proper transducer mounting method is
not entirely predictable and many times is an iterative process.
Note: This setting only appl ies to transducers for pipe larger than 2”

Signal strength indication below 2 is considered to be no signal at all. Verify that the
pipe is full of liquid, the pipe size and liquid parameters are entered correctly, and the
transducers are mounted accurately. Highly aerated liquids cause low signal strength
conditions.
Substitute Flow is a value that the analog outputs and the ow rate display show to
indicate that an error condition in the ow meter has occured.
Substitute Flow is set as a percentage between Min Flow and Max Flow. In a
unidirectional system, this value is typically set to zero to indicate zero ow while
in an error condition. To calculate where to set the Substitute Flow value in a
bidirectional system, perform the following operation:
Substitute Flow = 100 - (100 × max. ow) / (max. ow - min. ow)
Entry of data in the Basic and Flow tabs is all that is required to provide ow
measurement functions to the ow meter. If the user is not going to utilize input/
output functions, click on the Download button to transfer the conguration to the
meter. When the conguration has been completely downloaded, power cycle the
meter to guarantee the changes take eect.
Filtering Tab
The Filtering tab contains several lter settings for the ow meter. These lters
can be adjusted to match response times and data “smoothing” per formance to a
particular application.
Min Flow is the minimum volumetric ow rate to establish ltering parameters.
Volumetric entries are in the ow rate units. For unidirectional measurements,
set Min Flow to zero. For bidirectional measurements, set Min Flow to the highest
negative (reverse) ow rate expected in the piping system.
Max Flow is the maximum volumetric ow rate to establish ltering parameters.
Volumetric entries are in the Flow Rate Units. For unidirectional measurements,
set Max Flow to the highest (positive) ow rate expected in the piping system.
For bidirectional measurements, set Max Flow to the highest (positive) ow rate
expected in the piping system.
Low Flow Cuto is provided to allow very low ow rates (present when pumps are o
and valves are closed) to be displayed as zero ow. Typical values that are between
1.0% and 5.0% of the ow range between Min Flow and Max Flow.
Low Signal Cuto is used to drive the ow meter and its outputs to the value
specied in the Substitute Flow eld when conditions occur that cause low signal
strength. A signal strength below 5 is inadequate for measuring ow reliably, so the
minimum setting for Low Signal Cuto is 5. A good practice is to set the Low Signal
Cuto at approximately 60-70% of actual measured maximum signal strength.
Note: The factory default “Low Sig nal Cuto” is 5.
If the measured signal strength is lower than the Low Signal Cuto setting, a “Signal
Strength too Low” highlighted in red appears in the text area to the left in the Data
Display screen until the measured signal strength becomes greater than the cuto
value.

Time Domain Filter (range 1-256) adjusts the number of raw data sets (the wave
forms viewed on the software Diagnostics Screen) that are averaged together.
Increasing this value provides greater damping of the data. Conversely, lowering this
value decreases the response time of the meter to changes in ow/energy rate.
Note: The meter completes a measurement in ap proximately 350-40 0 msec. The exact time is p ipe
size dependant.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Flow Filter (Damping) establishes a maximum adaptive lter value. Under stable ow
conditions, this adaptive lter increases the number of successive ow readings that
are averaged together up to this maximum value. If ow changes dramatically, the
lter adapts by decreasing the number of averaged readings and allows the meter to
react faster.
The damping value is increased to increase stability of the ow rate readings.
Damping values are decreased to allow the ow meter to react faster to changing
ow rates. The factory settings are suitable for most installations. Increasing this
value tends to provide smoother steady-state ow readings and outputs.
Flow Filter Hysteresis creates a window around the average ow measurement
reading, allowing small variations in ow without changing the damping value. If the
ow varies within that hysteresis window, greater display damping occurs up to the
maximum values set by the Flow Filter (Damping) entry. The lter also establishes a
ow rate window where measurements outside of the window are examined by the
Bad Data Rejection lter. The value is entered as a percentage of actual ow rate.
For example, if the average ow rate is 100 GPM and the Flow Filter Hysteresis is set
to 5%, a lter window of 95-105 GPM is established. Successive ow measurements
that are measured within that window are recorded and averaged in accordance with
the Flow Filter Damping setting. Flow readings outside of the window are held up in
accordance with the Bad Data Rejection lter.
Flow Filter MinHysteresis sets a minimum hysteresis window that is invoked at sub
0.25 FPS (0.08 MPS) ow rates, where the “of rate” Flow Filter Hysteresis is very small
and ineective. This value is entered in picoseconds (ρsec) and is dierential time. If
very small uid velocities are to be measured, increase the Flow Filter MinHysteresis
value to increase reading stability.
Flow Filter Sensitivity allows conguration of how fast the Flow Filter Damping
adapts in the positive direction. Increasing this value allows greater damping to occur
faster than lower values. Adaptation in the negative direction is not user adjustable.
Bad Data Rejection is a value related to the number of successive readings that
must be measured outside of the Flow Filter Hysteresis or Flow Filter MinHysteresis
windows before the ow meter can use that ow value. Larger values are entered
into Bad Data Rejection when measuring liquids that contain gas bubbles, as the
gas bubbles tend to disturb the ultrasonic signals and cause more extraneous
ow readings to occur. Larger Bad Data Rejection values make the ow meter less
responsive to rapid changes in actual ow rate.
Output Tab
The entries made in the Output tab establish input and output parameters for the
ow meter. Select the appropriate function from the drop-down menu and press
the Download button. When a function is changed from the factory setting, a
Conguration error (1002) will result. Clear this error by resetting the microprocessor
from the Communications/Commands/Reset Target button or by power cycling the
ow meter.

Channel 1 - 4-20 mA Configuration
Note: The 4-20 mA Output Menu applies to all mode ls and is the only output choice for Channel 1
The Channel 1 menu controls how the 4-20 mA output is spanned for all models and
how the frequency output is spanned for the non-BTU ow model. The ow at 4 mA
/ 0 Hz and ow at 20 mA / 1,000 Hz settings set the span for both the 4-20 mA output
and the 0-1,000 Hz frequency output. These entries are volumetric rate units that are
equal to the volumetric units congured as rate units and rate interval discussed in
Part 4.
The 4-20 mA output is internally powered (current sourcing) and can span negative
to positive ow/energy rates. This output inter faces with virtually all recording and
logging systems by transmitting an analog current that is proportional to system
ow rate. Independent 4 mA and 20 mA span settings are established in rmware
using the ow measuring range entries. These entries can be set anywhere in the
-40 to +40 FPS (-12 to +12 MPS) range of the instrument. Resolution of the output
is 12-bits (4096 discrete points) and can drive up to a 400 Ω load when the meter is
AC powered. When powered by a DC supply, the load is limited by the input voltage
supplied to the instrument. See Figure 3.1 for allowable loop loads.
For example, to span the 4-20 mA output from -100 GPM to +100 GPM with 12 mA
being 0 GPM, set the Flow at 4 mA / 0 Hz and Flow at 20 mA / 1,000 inputs as follows:
Flow at 4 mA / 0 Hz = -100.0
Flow at 20 mA / 1,000 = 100.0
If the meter were a non-BTU meter, this setting also sets the span for the frequency
output. At -100 GPM, the output frequency is 0 Hz. At the maximum ow of 100 GPM,
the output frequency is 1,000 Hz, and in this instance a ow of zero is represented by
an output frequency of 500 Hz.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Example 2 - to span the 4-20 mA output from 0 GPM to +100 GPM with 12 mA being
50 GPM, set the Flow at 4 mA / 0 Hz and Flow at 20 mA / 1,000 inputs as follows:
Flow at 4 mA / 0 Hz = 0.0
Flow at 20 mA / 1,000 Hz = 100.0
For the non-BTU meter, in this instance, zero ow is represented by 0 Hz and 4 mA.
The full scale ow or 100 GPM is 1,000 Hz and 20 mA, and a midrange ow of 50 GPM
is expressed as 500 Hz and 12 mA.
The 4-20 mA output is factor y calibrated and should not require adjustment. If small
adjustments to the DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) are needed, for instance if
adjustments due to the accumulation of line losses from long output cable lengths
are required, the Calibration 4 mA and Calibration 20 mA can be used.
Calibration 4 mA -- 4 mA DAC Calibration Entry (Value)
Calibration 20 mA-- 20 mA DAC Calibration Entry (Value)
The Calibration 4 mA and Calibration 20 mA entries allows ne adjustments to be
made to the “zero” and full scale of the 4-20 mA output. To adjust the outputs, an
ammeter or reliable reference connection to the 4-20 mA output must be present.
Note: Calibration of the 20 mA setting is conduc ted much the same way as the 4 mA adjustments.
Note: Do not use the Calibration 4 mA and Calibratio n 20 mA entries to set the 4-20 mA range.
Utilize Flow at 4 mA / 0 Hz and Flow at 20 mA / 1,000 Hz detailed above for this pur pose.
• 4 mA Calibration Procedure:
1) Disconnect one side of the current loop and connect the ammeter in series
(disconnect either wire at the terminals labeled 4-20 mA Out or Signal Gnd).
2) Using the arrow keys, increase the numerical value to increase the current
in the loop to 4 mA. Decrease the value to decrease the current in the loop to
4 mA. Typical values range between 40-80 counts.
3) Reconnect the 4-20 mA output circuitry as required.
Channel 2 - RTD Configuration [BTU model only]
Note: The Channel 2 Menu is used to congure model spe cic I/O options. The non- BTU meter
presents a dierent set of pa rameters than the BTU meter.
Note: Choose the correct menu type fo r the meter in use. The software does not prohibit se lecting
options pertaini ng only to the non-BTU meter when a BTU meter is present, and vice versa.
However, the outputs or meter readings will be u npredictable.
Inputs from two 1,000 Ω platinum RTD temperature sensors allow the measurement
of energy delivered in liquid heating and cooling systems.
The values used to calibrate the RTD temperature sensors are derived in the
laboratory and are specic to a specic RTD. The RTDs on new units come with the
calibration values already entered. Field replacement of RTDs is possible thru the use
of the keypad or the sof tware. If the RTDs were ordered from the manufacturer, they
will come with calibration values that need to be loaded into the meter.
RTD Calibration Procedure:
1) Enter the calibration values for RTD #1 A and B followed by RTD #2 A and B.
2) Double-click on the Download button to send the values to memory.

2. Modbus Register / Word Ordering
Each Modbus Holding Register represents a 16-bit integer value (2 bytes). The
ocial Modbus standard denes Modbus as a ‘big-endian’ protocol where the most
signicant byte of a 16-bit value is sent before the least signicant byte. For example,
the 16-bit hex value of ‘1234’ is transferred as ‘12’ ‘34’.
Beyond 16-bit values, the protocol itself does not specify how 32-bit (or larger)
numbers that span over multiple registers should be handled. It is very common
to transfer 32-bit values as pairs of two consecutive 16-bit registers in little-endian
word order. For example, the 32-bit hex value of ‘12345678’ is transferred as ‘56’ ‘78’
‘12’ ‘34’. Notice the Register Bytes are still sent in big-endian order per the Modbus
protocol, but the Registers are sent in little-endian order.
Other manufactures, store and transfer the Modbus Registers in big-endian word
order. For example, the 32-bit hex value of ‘12345678’ is transferred as ‘12’ ‘34’
‘56’ ‘78’. It doesn’t matter which order the words are sent, as long as the receiving
device knows which way to expect it. Since it’s a common problem between devices
regarding word order, many Modbus master devices have a conguration setting
for interpreting data (over multiple registers) as ‘little-endian’ or ‘big-endian’ word
order. This is also referred to as swapped or word swapped values and allows the
master device to work with slave devices from dierent manufactures.
If, however, the endianness is not a congurable option within the Modbus master
device, it’s important to make sure it matches the slave endianess for proper
data interpretation. The meter actually provides two Modbus Register maps to
accommodate both formats. This is useful in applications where the Modbus Master
cannot be congured for endianness.

Heating and Cooling Measurement
The FSR2xxxx energy meter is designed to measure the rate and quantity of heat
delivered to a given building, area or heat exchanger. The instrument measures the
volumetric ow rate of the heat exchanger liquid (water, water/glycol mixture, brine,
etc.), the temperature at the inlet pipe, and the temperature at the outlet pipe. Heat
delivery is calculated by the following equation:
Rate of heat delivery = Q × (Tin - T
Where:
Q = volumetric ow rate
Tin = temperature at the inlet
T
= temperature at the outlet
out
Cp = specic heat of the liquid
The RTD temperature measurement circuit in the meter measures the dierential
temperature of two 1,000 Ω, three-wire platinum RTDs. The three-wire conguration
allows the temperature sensors to be located several hundred feet away from the
meter without inuencing system accuracy or stability.
The energy meter allows integration of two 1,000 Ω platinum RTDs with the ow
meter, eectively providing an instrument for measuring energy delivered in liquid
cooling and heating systems. If RTDs were ordered with the ow meter, they have
been factor y calibrated and are shipped connected to the module as they were
calibrated.
Field replacement of RTDs is possible thru the use of the keypad or the software
utility. If the RTDs were ordered from the manufacturer, they will come with
calibration values that need to be loaded into the meter.
New, non-calibrated RTDs will need to be eld calibrated using an ice bath and
boiling water to derive calibration values. This procedure is outlined below.
In Field Calibration of RTD Temperature Sensors
Replacement RTD temperature sensors used in heat ow measurements must be
calibrated in the eld to ensure proper operation. Failure to calibrate the RTDs to the
specic BTU inputs will result in inaccurate heat ow measurements.
Equipment Required:

4. If “RTD” is not selected in the Channel 2 drop-down list, select it now.
5. Insert both RTD temperature sensors and the laboratory grade thermometer into
either the ice bath or the boiling water bath and allow about 20 minutes for the
sensors to come up to the same temperature.
Note: An ice bath and boiling water bath are used in th ese examples because their temperatures
are easy to maintain and provide known temperature reference points. Other temperature
references can be used as long as there is a minimu m delta T of 40 °C between the two references.

K-Factors Explained
The K-factor (with regards to ow) is the number of pulses that must be accumulated
to equal a particular volume of uid. You can think of each pulse as representing a
small fraction of the totalizing unit.
An example might be a K-factor of 1000 (pulses per gallon). This means that if
you were counting pulses, when the count total reached 1000, you would have
accumulated 1 Gallon of liquid. Using the same reasoning each individual pulse
represents an accumulation of 1/1000 of a gallon. This relationship is independent of
the time it takes to accumulate the counts.
The frequency aspect of K-factors is a little more confusing because it also involves
the ow rate. The same K-factor number, with a time frame added, can be converted
into a ow rate. If you accumulated 1000 counts (one gallon) in one minute, then
your ow rate would be 1 GPM. The output frequency, in Hz, is found simply by
dividing the number of counts (1000) by the number of seconds (60) to get the output
frequency.
1000 ÷ 60 = 16.6666... Hz. If you were looking at the pulse output on a frequency
counter, an output frequency of 16.666...Hz would be equal to 1 GPM. If the
frequency counter registered 33.333...Hz (2 × 16.666...Hz), then the ow rate would
be 2 GPM.
Finally, if the ow rate is 2 GPM, then the accumulation of 1000 counts would take
place in 30 seconds because the ow rate, and hence the speed that the 1000 counts
is achieved, is twice as great.
Calculating K-factors for Ultrasonic meters
Many styles of ultrasonic ow meters are capable of measuring ow in a wide range
of pipe sizes. Because the pipe size and volumetric units the meter will be used on
vary, it is not possible to provide a discrete K-factor. Instead the velocity range of the
meter is usually provided along with a maximum frequenc y output.
Example 2:
Known values are:
Full Scale Flow Rate = 85 GPM
Full Scale Output Frequency = 650 Hz
1) 650 Hz x 60 sec = 39,000 pulses per min
2) K-factor = 39,000 pulses per minute / 85 GPM = 458.82 pulses per gallon
The calculation is a little more complex if velocity is used because you rst must
convert the velocity into a volumetric ow rate to be able to compute a K-factor.
To convert a velocity into a volumetric ow, the velocity measurement and an
accurate measurement of the inside diameter of the pipe must be known. Also
needed is the fact that 1 US gallon of liquid is equal to 231 cubic inches.
Example 3:
Known values are:
Velocity = 4.3 ft/sec
Inside Diameter of Pipe = 3.068 in
1) Find the area of the pipe cross section.
Area = π * r2 Area = π * (3.068/2)2 = π * 2.353 = 7.39 in
2
2) Find the volume in 1 ft of travel.
7.3 9 i n2 * 12 in = 88.71 in2 / ft
3) What portion of a gallon does 1 ft of travel represent?
88. 71 in3 / 231 in3 = 0.384 gallons
The most basic K-factor calculation requires that an accurate ow rate and the output
frequency associated with that ow rate be known.
Example 1:
Known values are:
Frequency = 700 Hz
Flow Rate = 48 GPM
1) 700 Hz × 60 sec = 42,000 pulses per min
2) K-factor = 42,000 pulses per minute / 48 GPM = 8.75 pulses per gallon
So for every foot of uid travel 0.384 gallons will pass.
What is the ow rate in GPM at 4.3 ft/sec?
0.384 gallons × 4.3 FPS × 60 sec (1 min) = 99.1 GPM
Now that the volumetric ow rate is known all that is needed is an output frequency
to determine the K-factor.
Known values are:
Frequency = 700 Hz (By measurement)
Flow Rate = 99.1 GPM (By calculation)
1) 700 Hz × 60 sec = 42,000 pulses per gallon
2) K-factor = 42,000 pulses per minute / 99.1 GPM = 423.9 pulses per gallon
