Page 4: Typical Applications
The detection time corresponds to the end of the passed sphere or pig. When MiniSonic-ISD is connected to an Ultraflux digital correcting unit (M 1189-N …), it is possible to repeat a sphere or pig passage from this correcting unit if they are connected by R/S serial link . -
Page 5: Measurement Principle
These numerous echo phenomena can make necessary to reduce the measurement rate of the MiniSonic ISD or PSD so that the echo phenomena generated by the preceding transmission can be completely absorbed before a new transmission. - Page 6 1-2: Sound velocity in petroleum products – Relation with density : The sound velocity in any fluid can be related to some other physical characteristics such as density but also fluid pressure (P) and temperature (T) , mixture ratio if two or many products …and another data which presents a good analogy for liquids : the compressibility.

- Page 8 Effect of Pressure ( P ) and Temperature ( T ) on sound velocity : We remind that P and T are also influencing actual density. Pressure influence: Naphta 100 bars Global Coefficient varies with density range. Here we have from + 0.4 up to 0.7 m/s per bar.
- Page 9 Same, when temperature can vary fast, as it is when the detection is just by a refinery with successive pumping of cold or hot product, it is recommended to do a correction from a reliable temperature information, with a the sensor closed to our ultrasonic probe. But, when the temperature varies only with seasons, it is not absolutely necessary to do a correction until end user accepts that the equivalent density display can show some deviation.

MINISONIC LIMITATIONS: MiniSonic ISD & PSD are designed for pipes from 100 mm ( 4”) up to 1500 mm (60”) MiniSonic ISD follows up with accuracy the product quality through its sound speed characteristics up to 2000 m/s. -

3 - ERGONOMICS AND DIMENSIONS OF THE MINI ISD & PSD CONVERTERS Wall-mounted industrial version (IP 67): The two glands on the left side are for the supply cable (upper one) and the outputs. The two glands on the right side are for probe(s) cable(s). To open the MiniSonic for wiring operations, unscrew the cover and disconnect the flat cable from the display. - Page 12 Version Ex d ATEX (Ex d IIC T6 ) – IP 67 : See also NT 219B - Each touch of the keypad has the same function as above. - The two glands near the front are reserved for probe cable(s). When only one is used, please keep he other one closed and tight.

4 – WIRING DIAGRAM FOR MINISONIC ISD & PSD : (Low Voltage Supply). If the GP 01 module for 90 to 230 V AC supply is installed, see also NT 218 The internal cables must be kept as short as possible. The cable connections must use the adjacent gland. - Page 14 > Connection to probe(s): BR 4. BR 3 is normally not mounted and reserved to dual-channel MiniSonic versions - Use Twin-ax cables (ET1217 & ET1217A) specified by Ultraflux. - For standard applications, only one cable is used. Connect it to terminals 1, 2, 3.

– General Procedures. 6 - PROBES INSTALLATION The MiniSonic ISD & PSD accept all standard or special transducers of Ultraflux catalogue with frequency from 250 KHz up to 2 MHz : clamp-on , insertion or wetted… Unless specified and instructed otherwise in the order, refer to the probe data sheet of the model used . - Page 16 7 - COMMISSIONING AND PARAMETERING OF MINISONIC ISD & PSD 1. Once the cabling has been carried out and verified, power up the system: > The MiniSonic must display its home screens: - Hardware version = MiniSonic ISD or PSD - Firmware version =10.01 -01 (e.g.

- Page 23 Each value or text field is filled in by Ultraflux before the final tests and delivery. Nevertheless, it is advisable to verify them by running through the various menus, comparing them with files given at the time of order, or with your instructions or particular choices.
- Page 24 Has it failed? If yes, the only solution is to call in our after-sales service. If the MiniSonic displays INIT constantly, attempt a power cutoff, then re-energize. If the fault persists, contact Ultraflux (Problem with the microprocessor). If the fault disappears, it may come back and could be due to excessively high impedance in the supply source.
