■ Lithium batteries are a high energy power source and might become a potential hazard if handled improperly. ■ Raphael by Talis is not responsible for any battery failures due to user mishandling. ■ Lithium batteries are non-corrosive. However, extreme heat (contact with open flame or system shorting) causes the battery to rupture, leading to severe injury and damaged equipment.

2 Introduction Ultraf is an ultrasonic hydrometer valve for water metering and hydraulic control. Ultraf Configuration Ultraf can be modified to a large variety of hydraulic applications such as On/Off, pressure reducing, pressure sustaining, flow control, etc. Ultraf control output can be modified according to the required control application. Ultraf functionality changes according to installed control output thus, the installation and operation instructions varies according to the installed control output.
Page 4 Ultraf with Analog Output Ultraf reads the water flow. The readings are (see monitored on the Ultraf local control panel Local Monitoring on page 25) or via a dedicated (see Setup and mobile device application Configuration on page 15). Ultraf transmits the flow rate via its analog 4-20mA 4-20 mA output to an external monitoring device such as a 4-20mA input counter or an analog input controller...
Page 5 System Overview Ultraf system consists of the following components: ■ Valve (1) – Ultraf is compatible with a wide range of valve hydraulic applications. The appearance of the valves differs according to the model ordered. ■ Meter and controller unit (2) – installed on the valve, measures the flow and performs optional controls (see Ultraf Main Components...
Page 6 Product Serial Number and Data The label located on the control panel cover indicates the product serial number (1). The serial number is the Ultraf default identification on the mobile device application. This serial number is used to identify the device. NOTE: The serial number is also located on the valve body as a permanent name plate tag.

Page 10 Recommended Installation Examples The following examples provide recommendations for Ultraf optimal performance. A minimum of two pipe diameters after elbows (90°). A minimum of two pipe diameters after an isolating valve. A minimum of ten pipe diameters after pumps. A minimum of two pipe diameters after strainers. A minimum two pipe diameters after elbows (90°) in vertical installations.
Page 11 Wiring Instructions Ultraf is delivered with one of the following control outputs. Each control output requires different wiring. The following sections provide wiring instructions for each control output: Ultraf Basic ■ Pulse Output ■ Analog Output ■ Solenoid Valve Output ■...
Page 12 Pulse Output Ultraf Pulse Output sends a signal each time a pre-determined amount of water passes. The meter units and the (see Pulse Output Control on page amount (volume) are configured through the Raphael Ultraf mobile application 20). Pulse output is ideal when flow indication is delivered to: ■...
Page 13 Analog Output Ultraf analog output provides a linear analog signal in a predefined flow spectrum. Analog output is ideal when flow indication is delivered to a reading device with analog input. Output specifications 4-20 mA current, requires external 12-36 VDC power supply. Wiring instructions 1.
Page 14 Solenoid Valve Output This output type operates a solenoid valve and is used for pressure management applications. In this (see Pulse Output on page 12). configuration Ultraf is delivered with an additional pulse output Output specifications ■ Solenoid type – 12-18 VDC, latch ■...
