Environmental Compliance Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive GE Measurement & Control is an active participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative, directive 2002/96/EC. The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
It is designed for the industrial market, including water, wastewater, steel, campus energy and other markets. AT600 utilizes a new electronics platform and industrial design to make it extremely simple to install and use in the field.
The difference between the downstream and upstream transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing liquid and its sign indicates the direction of flow. Figure 2: Flow and Transducer Paths (Dual Traverse) Figure 3: Flow and Transducer Paths (Single Traverse) AT600 User’s Manual...

If anything is missing or damaged, contact GE Customer Care immediately for assistance. Please note that your AT600 system may come in different configurations based on your selection, so the packing list could be a little different. Below is the typical packing list: 10.
Chapter 2. Installation 2.3 Installing the Electronics Enclosure The AT600 electronics is housed in a powder-coated, aluminum, NEMA type 4X/IP67 enclosure suitable for indoor or outdoor use, See Figure 5 below for the mounting dimensions and weight of the AT600 electronics.
Page 18
Installing the Electronics Enclosure (cont.) The installation base of AT600 electronics can also be rotated by 90 degrees to keep a horizontal view of the user interface in a horizontal or vertical mounting condition. See Figure 6 below for AT600 mounting of the installation base.
2.4 Installing the Clamp-on Fixture And Transducer System 2.4.1 Clamp-on Fixture and Transducer Location For a given fluid and pipe, the accuracy of AT600 depends on the location and alignment of the transducers. In addition to accessibility, when planning for transducer location, adhere to the following guidelines: •...
The AT600 clamp-on fixture and transducer system can support pipe size ranges from 2 inch to 24 inch.The customer can choose either dual traverse installation or single traverse installation for transducer mounting on the pipe.

2.5 Installing C-RS Fixture and Transducer System 2.5.1 Installation Guide for C-RS transducer Refer to GE document 916-077, the C-RS Installation Guide, for C-RS transducer installation onto the pipe (Section 6, Installing General Clamping Fixture). 2.5.2 Install Cable Adaptor for C-RS transducer and AT6 cable To match the BNC type connector on the C-RS transducer with the SMA type connector on the AT6 cable, one BNC to SMA adaptor is needed for C-RS transducer cabling.
Once the AT600 is completely wired, proceed to Chapter 3, Initial Setup, to configure the unit for operation. Figure 22: Wiring Diagram Note: HART or MODBUS communication are optional selections for the AT600 electronics and must be chosen at the time of ordering.
Appendix D, CE Mark Compliance The AT600 may be ordered from operation with power inputs of 85-264 VAC, or 12-28 VDC. The label on the shroud inside the electronics enclosure, lists the required line voltage. Be sure to connect the meter only to the specified line voltage.

Chapter 2. Installation 2.6.4 Wiring Analog Output/HART Communication The standard configuration of the Model AT600 flow meter includes one isolated 0/4-20mA analog output. Connections to this output may be made with standard twisted-pair wiring. The current loop impedance for this circuit must not exceed 600 ohms.
Chapter 2. Installation 2.6.5 Wiring Modbus Communication The AT600 is equipped with an optional Modbus communication port. The port is a two-wire, half-duplex RS485 interface. The standard AT600 disables the Modbus communication. Proceed to the appropriate configuration for menu instructions to activate the Modbus communication.
2.6.7 Wiring Gate Input The AT600 provides a Gate Contact Input port. This port is designed to start/stop the totalizer. During normal measurement mode, an operator can start the totalizer functionality by clicking the switch. And if the operator wants to stop the totalizer, another switching ON/OFF action stops the totalizer.
Chapter 3. Initial Setup and Programming 3.1 Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the AT600 flowmeter to place it into operation. Before the AT600 can begin taking measurements, the User Preferences, Inputs/Outputs, and Sensor setup must be entered and tested.

1. The fluid must be homogeneous, single-phase, relatively clean and flowing steadily. Although a low level of entrained particles may have little effect on the operation of the AT600, excessive amounts of solid or gas particles will absorb or disperse the ultrasound signals. This interference with the ultrasound transmissions through the fluid will cause inaccurate flow rate measurements.
4. The fluid sound speed must not vary excessively. The AT600 will tolerate relatively large changes in the fluid sound speed, as may be caused by variations in fluid composition and/or temperature. However, such changes must occur slowly. Rapid fluctuations in the fluid sound speed, to a value that is considerably different from that programmed into the AT600, will result in erratic or inaccurate flow rate readings.
Listed below are two limits of this implementation: 1. The AT600 supports only four of the standard function codes. These are Read Holding Registers (0x03), Read Input Registers (0x04), Write Multiple Registers (0x10), and Read File Record (0x14). 2. The flowmeter needs a 15 ms gap between Modbus requests. The prime objective of the flowmeter is to measure flow and drive the output, so the Modbus server has a low priority.
