Transducer
Setup The Transducer Setup branch of the
Configuration Edit Menu allows you to
establish the fundamental parameters of the
flow meter, including the ultrasonic
transducers, the pipe to which they are
mounted, the liner inside the pipe, if any,
and the fluid flowing in the pipe.
Using information entered here, the
flowmeter calculates many “engineering”
parameters that are critical to accurate
measurement. This is done when a

Configuration Set is “activated”, but not when a user exits Setup Mode by “escaping”
(for example, after the five minute timeout). Note that changes in this area of
configuration followed by an escape from Setup Mode may cause the flowmeter to
display incorrect flow information.
Under the Transducer Setup branch, the following actions are available:
Measurement Units allows you to specify
whether dimensions will be entered in
inches (English) or dimensions will be
entered in millimeters (Metric). This choice
and all entered numbers must be consistent
when a Set is activated. If, for example, the
pipe diameter is entered as 2.00 when
English units are selected but the choice is
then changed to Metric, it is necessary to go
back and enter 50.8 as the pipe diameter or
the flowmeter will attempt to configure
itself for a pipe which is only 2 millimeters
across (and will fault).
Transducer --> Model Number allows you to
specify the model number of the transducer
type used (fifth letter in the model number).
You should not change this setting unless
you use a different transducer pair from
that originally supplied. The model number
(A thru K) is printed on the transducer.
Transducer --> Mount Method allows you to
specify the transducer mount method used
when the meter is set for Transit Time
measurement mode. The options are “Z”
mount (transducers on opposite sides of the pipe, no reflections of the sound wave on the
pipe wall),
“V” mount (transducers on the same side of the pipe, one
reflection from the far wall),
See section 6.0.
Pipe Outside Diameter allows you to specify the outside diameter of the pipe.
Pipe --> Wall Thickness allows you to specify the thickness of the pipe wall. From this
and the outside diameter, the flowmeter calculates the inside diameter and hence the
cross-sectional area of the pipe. This is critical to converting the measured velocity of the
fluid to a volumetric flow.
“N” mount (transducers on opposite sides of the pipe, two reflections of the
sound wave on the pipe wall),
“W” mount (transducers on the same side of the pipe, two
reflections from the far wall).
