INSTALLATION GUIDE

BSC Menu -- Basic Menu

The BASIC menu contains all of the configuration parameters necessary to make the
meter operational.

1. Units Selection

UNITS -- Programming Unit Selection (Choice): ENGLSH (Inches), METRIC
(Millimeters)

Installs a global measurement standard into the memory of the instrument. The
choices are either English or Metric units.

Select ENGLSH if all configurations (pipe sizes, etc.) are to be made in inches. Select
METRIC if the meter is to be configured in millimeters.

The ENGLSH/METRIC selection also configures the meter to display sound speeds in
pipe materials and liquids as either feet per second (FPS) or meters per second (MPS),
respectively.

Important!: If the UNITS value is changed, save the entry and reset the instrument
(power cycle or enter System Reset SYS RSET) to initiate the change in operating
units. Failure to save and reset the instrument causes improper transducer spacing
calculations and improper measurements.

2. Address

ADDRESS -- Modbus Address (Value): 1-126

Note: This is for the RS-485 connection only. The Modbus TCP/IP address is set via the integrated
HTML application in the Ethernet port

Each meter connected on the communications bus must have an unique address
number assigned.

3. Transducer Mount

XDCR MNT -- Transducer Mounting Method (Choice): V, W, Z (V-mount is factory
setting)

Selects the mounting orientation for the transducers. The selection of an appropriate
mounting orientation is based on pipe and liquid characteristics. See Part 2 -
Transducer Installation in this manual.

4. Flow Direction

FLOW DIR -- Transducer Flow Direction Control (Choice): FORWARD, REVERSE

Allows the change of the direction the meter assumes is forward. This feature allows
upstream and downstream transducers to be “electronically” reversed.

5. Transducer Frequency

XDCR HZ -- Transducer Transmission Frequency (Choice): 500 KHZ (500 Kilohertz), 1
MHZ (1 Megahertz), 2 MHZ (2 Megahertz)

Transducer transmission frequencies are specific to the type of transducer and the size
of pipe. In general, the FST5 500 kHz transducers are used for pipes greater than 24
inches (600 mm). FST4 1 MHz transducers are for intermediate sized pipes between 2
inches (50 mm) and 24 inches (600 mm). FST1, FST2, FST3 2 MHz transducers are for
pipe sizes between ½ inch (13 mm) and 2 inches (50 mm).

6. Pipe Outside Diameter

PIPE OD -- Pipe Outside Diameter Entry (Value): ENGLSH (Inches), METRIC
(Millimeters)

Enter the pipe outside diameter in inches if ENGLSH was selected as UNITS; in
millimeters if METRIC was selected.

7. Pipe Wall Thickness

PIPE WT -- Pipe Wall Thickness Entry (Value): ENGLSH (Inches), METRIC (Millimeters)

Enter the pipe wall thickness in inches if ENGLSH was selected as UNITS; in
millimeters if METRIC was selected.

Note: Charts listing popular pipe sizes are included in the Appendix of this manual. Correct entries
for pipe O.D. and pipe wall thickness are critical to obtaining accurate flow measurement readings.

This list is provided as an example. Additional pipe materials are added periodically.
Select the appropriate pipe material from the list or select OTHER if the material is not
listed.

9. Pipe Sound Speed

PIPE SS -- Speed of Sound in the Pipe Material (Value): ENGLSH (Feet per Second),
METRIC (Meters per Second)

Allows adjustments to the speed of sound value, shear or transverse wave, for the
pipe wall. 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).

When the pipe material is chosen from the PIPE MAT list (above), a nominal value for
speed of sound in that material is automatically loaded. Revise this value if needed
for a given application.

If OTHER was chosen as PIPE MAT, then a PIPE SS must also be entered.
