Configure the
SPU for an
Ultrasonic
Inline Pipe
Fitting When using Ultrasonic Transducers (XDCR), if the SPU and the Ultrasonic Inline Pipe
Fitting was shipped from the factory as a single model number, the SPU is pre-configured
with the proper model number and calibration constants shown on the calibration label
attached to the pipe fitting. If the pipe fitting was sold separately, the SPU will need to be
configured with the following data shown on the calibration label:
1. Measurement Units. The default value for all inline fittings is ENGLISH.
2. Model. The default value for all inline fittings is “C”.
3. Mount Method. The default value for all inline fittings is “V”.
4. Cable Length. Enter the length in feet. The available cable lengths are: 1 foot (SPU
mounted directly on the pipe fitting), 10, 25, 50 or 100 feet.
5. Flow Direction -> Direction. The default value for all inline fittings is “A -> B”.
6. Flow Direction -> Settings. Each flow direction has a unique SCALING and ZERO
VALUE number shown on the pipe fitting calibration label. Note that the ZERO number
may be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE.
7. Pipe Outside Diameter. Shown on the pipe fitting calibration label. Do not use your
inlet/outlet pipe size.
8. Pipe Wall Thickness. Shown on the pipe fitting calibration label. Do not use your
nominal pipe size.
9. Pipe Material. Shown on the pipe fitting calibration label. Do not use your inlet/outlet pipe
material.
10. Fluid Type. Select WATER or CUSTOM.
11. Fluid SOS. If WATER is selected, it is not necessary to input a fluid SOS. If “CUSTOM”
fluid type is selected, the Speed of Sound (SOS) for the custom fluid must be entered
manually. Note that the SOS must be within the pipe fitting’s SOS range.

Configure the
SPU for a
Paddle Wheel
Sensor
The S4’s SPU can be used with a Paddle Wheel type sensor that outputs an AC Sine wave or
an Ultrasonic type sensor.

Paddle Wheel K-Factor Enter Value
0.0000
When using an AC Sine wave Paddle Wheel type flow sensor and pipe fitting, the installer
must input the pipe fitting K-factor. The K-Factor is the total number of pulses output by the
sensor per gallon of fluid flow for a specific pipe fitting. The K-factor is different for each pipe
fitting. See the paddle wheel sensor’s instruction manual for a list of pipe fitting K-factors.
