UF AV5000 Area-Velocity Flow Meter OPTIONAL PZ12-LP LEVEL SENSOR MOUNTING Mount the PZ12-LP non-contacting ultrasonic level sensor in an unobstructed position at least 203.2mm (8”) above the high water level. Install the stainle ss steel mounting bracket in a horizontal position (check with a level) and then insert the PZ12-LP sensor.
UF AV5000 Area-Velocity Flow Meter ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION Locate the enclosure within 6 m (20 ft) of the sensor (up to 150 m - 500 ft optional). The enclosure can be wall mounted with the four mounting screws (included) or panel mounted with Option PM Panel Mount kit from Micronics Limited.
UF AV5000 Area-Velocity Flow Meter FIELD TROUBLESHOOTING The UF AV5000 uses an ultrasonic level sensor to determine channel AREA and an ultrasonic Doppler sensor to measure flow VELOCITY. The QZ02L transducer combines both sensors in one housing. An optional configuration uses the PZ12-LP “down-looking” level sensor and a QZ02L-DP velocity sensor.
