Page 4: General
General The Atrato range represents a new generation of through bore time of flight ultrasonic flowmeters that uses breakthrough technology to offer a wide ranging yet accurate meter. It is ideal for many process control, instrumentation and laboratory applications. The user must make sure that the flowmeter selected is suitable for the application and that the chemical compatibility, temperature and pressure requirements are within the Atrato’s operating range. -
Page 5: Installation
Installation • Locate the flowmeter in a sheltered position away from falling water. • Care must be taken to ensure that the end fittings on the meter are not stressed during use. Ideally, flexible tubes should be used. • Ideally the meter should be installed with straight lengths of tube either side for a distance of 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 downstream. -
Page 6: Electrical
Electrical The Atrato can be operated entirely from a computer using the USB connection but this may not be acceptable in many situations where remote operation or further functions are required. The unit will work with systems from Windows XP onwards. The maximum connector cable size is 2.5mm (22-14AWG), for ease of assembly we recommend 1mm maximum. -
Page 7: Setup
Setup Before use, download and install Atrato software from memory stick or website. The Atrato low-flow ultrasonic flowmeter should be setup using the USB interface and a suitable computer. Below is a screen shot of the Configuration screen. The panel below shows the functions of the panel on the top left of the screen. Control buttons to apply the settings and recover previously set parameters. - Page 8 MULTIPLE WINDOW DISPLAY To aid set up whilst operating the meter it is possible to detach the Flow Details and Advanced windows by dragging and dropping the bottom tabs away from the main window. This allows the user to view those tabs whilst adjusting the User Settings. The Flow Details window may be further reduced or expanded using the minimise and maximise icons respectively in the top right hand of the window.
- Page 9 Scale Factor Adjustment: This is a fine tune adjustment on the signal to compensate for errors introduced by erratic flow or other system irregularities DENSITY: The flowmeter is fundamentally a volumetric device but a density figure can be entered here if one of the mass units are selected.
- Page 10 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS PIN 6 (PNP): Pin 6 can be configured as either an output or an input but not both simultaneously. If one input and one output is required the user must determine whether they require a NPN or PNP output and use the appropriate terminal for each action.
- Page 11 PULSE: Enter the number of pulses per unit volume required. This figure can be adjusted to suit the application and the flow range required from the meter. The maximum output frequency is 1000 Hz. So care must be taken to ensure that this pulse rate is not exceeded.
- Page 12 DUAL FLOW ALARM: Checking this will enable a range of flow to be entered. When the flow is outside/inside of this range the alarm will be triggered. The remaining settings in the input box are the same as for Single Flow alarms. •...
- Page 13 Because of the potential for conflict should the PNP output be activated accidentally, Titan Enterprises Ltd recommend a resistor so that the sink current cannot exceed 5mA. An example circuit is given below:...
- Page 14 RELAY RELAY MODE: If the relay is required for a flow switch check the flow switch box and a further set of options for set point and hysteresis will appear. THRESHOLD: Set the required flow rate for the flow switch. The Reset Offset (%) (Hysteresis) is either negative or positive depending on whether a falling...
- Page 15 FLOW DETAILS TAB The large display reflects the meter readings showing on the Atrato LCD Display, if fitted and will mimic that display. The buttons either side have the functions selected on the ‘Configuration’ screen and also work in parallel with the buttons on the Atrato flowmeter unit itself.
- Page 16 The chart below shows the various display messages for various operating functions. During operation only one message will be shown for each parameter. Parameter Value Notes Function Flow rate 2.5000 Litres per minute Units selected in configuration Filtered flow rate 2.4981 Litres per minute This will lag flow rate Total...
- Page 17 PIN 7: The display for “Pin 7” will function the same as “Pin 6” (see page 13). RELAY: If no function is set for the relay the Value column will show “Off” otherwise it will display the function and its operating parameters. BATCHING If Batch is selected in the “Display mode”...
- Page 18 PIN protection. There are 2 possibilities for the PIN protection:- To use these features it is first necessary to create a PIN. This is a four digit number in the range 0001 to 9999. Setting a value of 0000 tells the software there is no PIN and this is how to remove the PIN.

This could have been a small bubble passing through the 710 meter which has a 1mm bore which could completely absorb the ultrasound.
- Page 20 DATALOGGING (not available on all meters) For general diagnostic purposes it is possible to log the meter performance using the Data logging Tab function. The logging is not internal to the flowmeter, but stored to the connected PC and therefore only occurs whilst the PC is connected to the meter. Simply tick the relevant parameter you wish to log, choose a sensible sampling period (i.e.
