Transducers UFA and UVA are instruments for measuring flow velocity and flow rate: UFA for use with vane wheel flow sensors FA or FAR and measuring tubes FA Di or FAR Di and UVA for use with vortex flow sensors VA40 and measuring tubes VA Di. These instruments are designed for industrial application.
: behind the front cover Technical Specifications Conformity with Standards Transducers UFA / UVA are manufactured according to the best available technology, are safe and reliable and comply with the relevant regulations, EU directives and standards. Storage Conditions Storage temperature: -30 to +70 °C...
The UFA replaces the U2a transducer with FA / FAR input. All Höntzsch vortex probes VA and all Höntzsch vortex measuring tubes VA Di (without integrated trans- ducer) can be connected to the UVA transducer. The UVA replaces the U2a transducer with VA input. Housing and Connectors The LDG16 housing is designed for snapping on to 35mm DIN rail according to DIN EN 60715 and SN EN 50022 or for screwed connection.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.3 Tips on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) all connecting cables are to be kept as short as possible with cable routes longer than 30 m or with strong electromagnetic disturbance along the cable route between sensor and evaluation unit, the use of a double-shielded cable is recommended: to do this lay inner shielding to one side of the evaluation unit and lay outer shielding on both sides over a large area with low-impedance connection on the sensor and evaluation unit or on the control cabinet ...
FA Di and FAR Di (directional sensing) for measuring flow velocity or flow rate of air/gases and water/liquids. UVA transducers are designed for connecting to vortex probes VA and vortex measuring tubes VA Di for measuring the flow velocity or flow rate of air/gases.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________ Settings The following setting parameters can be read using the PC software UCOM and are also alterable. The customer-specific settings are shown on the parameter print-out, which is included in the documents. Please find operation instructions PC software UCOM in document U385. Performance Test sensor not connected (pay attention to 6.2.1 Power supply and 6.2.3 Analog output)
Calibration The UFA and UVA transducers have an excellent long-term stability. However, it makes sense to have the instruments calibrated at certain intervals. The period between two calibrations depends on the individual operational conditions and the tolerable measurement error. Therefore, as a precaution, shorter calibra- tion cycles should be chosen at the beginning.

________________________________________________________________________________________ 17 Returns No special measures necessary for UFA and UVA transducers. When returning sensors, these should be cleaned thoroughly according to the instructions. A hazard warn- ing or declaration of no objection must be supplied for substances which have been in contact with the sensor or possibly infiltrated the cavities in the sensor.
