Ni-H battery can work continuously for more than 10 hours without recharge. The TDS-100H has also a built-in data-logger, which allows storage of 2,000 lines of data. The stored information can be downloaded to a PC through its RS232 connection port. The TR- 100H also provides digital output such as frequency output or pulsed totaliser output.

Typical Applications Applications The TDS-100H flow meter can be applied to a wide range of pipe flow measurements. The pipe size ranges 0.5”-240” (15mm-6000mm). A variety of liquid applications can be accommodated: ultra-pure liquids, potable water, oil, chemicals, raw sewage, reclaimed water, cooling water, river water, sea water, plant effluent, etc.
MEASUREMENT MEASUREMENT MEASUREMENT Built Built in in in Battery Battery Built Battery The instrument can operate either from the built-in Ni-H rechargeable battery, which will last over 10 hours of continuous operation when fully charged, or from an external AC/power supply from the battery charger.

Transducer Installation Transducer Transducer Installation Installation The transducers used by the TR-100H series ultrasonic flow meter are made of piezoelectric crystals both for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic signals through the wall of liquid piping system. The measurement is realized by measuring the travelling time difference of the ultrasonic signals.

SHOOTING Power-on errors When powered on, the TDS-100H series ultrasonic flowmeter automatically starts the self- diagnosis process to find if there are any hardware and software problems. If a problem is identified, an error message will be displayed. The following table shows the possible error messages, the corresponding causes and their solutions.
The TDS-100H series ultrasonic flowmeter will show an Error Code (a single letter like I, R, etc.) in the lower right corner on menu windows M00 , M01, M02, M03, M90 and M08. When any abnormal Error Code shows, counter-measures should be taken.
