Page 6: Introduction
VPFlowScope in-line Introduction Congratulations! You purchased the easiest to use and most complete compressed air measurement tool in the world. With the VPFlowScope in-line, you can monitor and record flow, pressure, temperature, and total air consumption, simultaneously. Great products deserve great user manuals. We have done our best to make this user manual as complete as possible. -
Page 7: Product Overview
The instruments are pre programmed and ready to use. For configuration of the outputs and data logger, the VPStudio configuration software is used. This software can be downloaded from our website. www.vpinstruments.com/downloads © 2017 Van Putten Instruments BV | MAN-VP-SINL-UK | Revision:1701 | Date:22-03-2017... -
Page 8: Vpflowscope In-Line D0 (No Display)
VPFlowScope in-line VPFlowScope in-line D0 (no display) The D0 model can be used in applications where local read-out and data logging is not required. With it's various outputs the VPFlowScope in-line can be connected to remote data loggers. VPFlowScope in-line D10 & D11 (display version) The D10 and D11 models add a 3 row display with keypad to the VPFlowScope in-line. -
Page 9: Quick Start
Quick start This chapter contains the basic steps to start using your VPFlowScope in-line flow meter. Additional information on all subjects can be found in the next chapters. 1. Unpack Unpack the meter and check if all items are there and in good shape. A checklist with all items is available on the box. -
Page 10: Measurement
VPFlowScope in-line Measurement For all parameters the update interval is 1 second. Within this second, multiple samples are taken and averaged to provide a stable and reliable output. Flow The VPFlowScope in-line uses our proprietary insertion type thermal mass flow sensor. There is no bypass flow, which results in a high robustness and less sensitivity for dirt or particles. -
Page 11: Totalizer
Totalizer The totalizer keeps track of the total consumed amount of compressed air in normal cubic meters, or in scf depending on which unit you choose to read out. The refresh interval is 1 second, actual measurement data will be available on the display and by Modbus. For back up reasons, the totalizer value is written to it's internal memory with an interval of 15 minutes. -
Page 12: Mechanical Installation
In very complex situations, with multiple up- and downstream objects, you should consider another location. This table is a practical guideline and is not exact science. Practical situations can have multiple sources of distortion, therefore VPInstruments does not take any responsibility for the correctness. -

Apply a little O-ring grease to ease the mounting process. Screw both pipes into the VPFlowScope in-line. Gently screw the pipes into the flow meter inlet. Turn it all the way in, until the end of the pipe reaches the bottom of the inlet hole You can install the VPFlowScope in-line directly between two threaded pipe ends.

VPFlowScope in-line Multiple sessions can be recorded. When a session is started, a separate session will be recorded. It's not possible to append to an existing session. When a power failure occurs during recording, the session will be stopped. When power is restored, a new session will start automatically. - Page 17 1 Settings The settings menu can be used to change both functional parameters as display settings. 1.1 Display The main screen of the display contains 3 rows to display measurement values. Via this menu measurement values can be assigned to these rows. Available options in the menu are: Measurand Available units Description...

RS485 B Black RS485 A Grey * Wire colors for standard VPInstruments cables M12 5-pin female connector Cabling Shielded twisted pair cabling must be used for proper communication and measurement. Connect shield to safety ground on one point. The thickness of the wires depends on the cable length. For cabling below 300 meter | 1000 ft, use 20 awg. - Page 21 For scaling purposes, the zero and span matching 4 and 20mA can be modified. This will not effect the original measurement range. The zero and span are only used to increase or narrow the resolution. For bi-directional measurement, the zero value needs to be set negative. See below table for factory defaults.

Page 22: Pulse Output
VPFlowScope in-line Electrical scheme: The current meter is placed in between the current output and the power supply ground. You can also use a digital multimeter to test the current output. Pulse output The VPFlowScope in-line features a low-frequency active pulse output. The pulse is a ‘non potential’ free output as it acts like a controlled current output. -

Pulse output Electrical scheme: Modbus interface Introduction to Modbus For a complete introduction on the Modbus standard can be found on www.modbus.org. See the document Modbus_over_serial_line_V1_02.pdf, which can be downloaded from their website. We strongly recommend to download and read this information carefully before installing Modbus communication. - Page 24 VPFlowScope in-line Register map The actual measurement data is placed in holding registers.

The VPInstruments junction box features a jumper that can be used to enable a 120 Ohm resistor. When using the VPInstruments Modbus Junction boxes make sure that the 120 Ohm resistor is only enabled in the last Modbus Junction box in the daisy chain.

Page 27: Usb Interface
USB interface The VPFlowScope in-line D10 and D11 model offer a built-in USB interface for configuration and data log session retrieval. The USB interface is protected by an IP65 rated nylon cap. IMPORTANT: the IP65 rating may be compromised when this cap is damaged or not placed back in a proper manner. To ensure proper sealing, the cap must be greased with a little o-ring grease or vaseline grease. -
