- Page 14 Before permanently mounting a Doppler sensor onsite testing is recommended to determine optimum mounting position. Use the sensor coupling compound (supplied with each Micronics flow meter, or petroleum gel, acoustic compound or electrocardiograph gel). Take several readings around the axis of the pipe and then at several points upstream and downstream from the selected position, checking for consistent readings.

Page 15: Sensor Mounting
The objective of site preparation is to eliminate any discontinuity between the sensor and the pipe wall, which would prevent acoustical coupling. A PC4 Sensor Mounting Kit is supplied with each Micronics flow meter. It includes recommended coupling compound in a plastic applicator and a stainless steel mounting bracket with adjustable pipe straps. - Page 16 Additional supply: order Micronics Option CC b) High Temperature compound (supplied with Sensor Option SE3H) Additional supply: order Micronics Option AP-1W c) Water-based sonic compound: Order Micronics Option CC30 d) Electrocardiograph gel e) Petroleum gel (Vaseline) The above are arranged in their order of preferred application.

Page 20: Common Questions And Answers
COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The pipe vibrates. Will it affect the flow meter? Common vibration frequencies are far lower than the sonic frequencies used by the Micronics flow meter, and will not normally affect accuracy or performance. However, applications where very weak Doppler signal is present (when sensitivity is adjusted to maximum and signal strength is low), accuracy may be affected by pipe vibration, or the flow meter may show readings under no-flow conditions. - Page 21 The solid state sensor has no moving parts to wear PF D550 and affect calibration. The Doppler flow technique generates an ultrasonic signal proportional to the velocity of flow. All Micronics timing/counting circuits use crystal-controlled frequency references to eliminate any drift in the processing circuitry. Page 21...
