® ® A three-wire signal cable is used to connect ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 to the Kamstrup MULTICAL calculator. The cable supplies the flow sensor and also transfers the signal from sensor to calculator. A signal corresponding to the flow – or more correctly, a number of pulses proportional to the water volume flowing through – is transmitted.

® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 6 Pressure loss Pressure loss in a flow sensor is stated as max. pressure loss at q According to EN 1434 max. pressure loss must not exceed 0.25 bar unless the energy meter includes a flow controller or functions as pressure reducing equipment.
It is permitted to replace the supply and change the supply type. For battery supply a lithium battery with connector from Kamstrup A/S must be used. Lithium batteries must be correctly handled and disposed of (see Kamstrup document 5510-408, ”Lithium batteries - Handling and disposal”). Other repairs require subsequent re-verification in an accredited laboratory.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 ® 7.1 Installation angle of ULTRAFLOW ® ULTRAFLOW can be installed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle. ® ULTRAFLOW 54 is normally installed horizontally, with the lifting rings oriented vertically. The ultrasound paths in the flow sensor tube will thus be vertical, which is optimal in connection with possible stratification of the medium.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 ® 7.2 Mounting of ULTRAFLOW 54 electronics box At medium temperature below 90°C (T < 90°C) and at medium temperature less than 5°C below ambient temperature (T > T - 5°C) the electronics box can be mounted directly on the flow sensor housing via the factory mounted fitting.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 ® If ULTRAFLOW 54 is mounted horizontally, the electronics box can be mounted on the distance piece by means of the collar band. The distance piece can then be turned upwards until the cable connections on the electronics box are in a higher position than the cable connection on the flow sensor housing.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 7.3 Straight inlet ® ULTRAFLOW 54 requires neither straight inlet nor outlet in order to fulfil the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2004/22/EC and EN 1434:2007. A straight inlet section will only be necessary in case of heavy flow disturbances before the meter.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 7.5 Connection to calculator ® ® 7.5.1 ULTRAFLOW 54 and MULTICAL , galvanically coupled ® ® ® If ULTRAFLOW 54 and MULTICAL are connected via output module (Y=1), ULTRAFLOW is galvanically coupled ® with the MULTICAL calculator and is powered by this via the three-wire signal cable (cable length up to 10 m).

The battery cannot and must not be charged and must not be short-circuited. The battery supply may only be replaced by a corresponding lithium battery with connector from Kamstrup A/S. Used batteries must be handed in for approved destruction, e.g. at Kamstrup A/S. (See Kamstrup document 5510- 408, ”Lithium batteries - Handling and disposal”).

When the transformer is used, the total power consumption of the meter incl.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 General information Work on the fixed installation, including any intervention in the group panel, must be carried out by an authorized electrician. It is not required that service work on equipment comprised by this message as well as connection and dis- connection of the equipment outside the panel is carried out by an authorized electrician.
® TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ULTRAFLOW 54 DN150-250 ® ® 7.7 Example of connection of ULTRAFLOW 54 for MULTICAL ® ULTRAFLOW 54 with galvanically coupled output module ® (Y=1), powered by MULTICAL . See paragraph 7.5.1 for electrical wiring. Note: Installed plug in the unused rightmost connector of the electronics box.
Electric welding must always be carried out with the earth pole closest to the welding point. Damage to meters due to welding is not comprised by Kamstrup’s factory guarantee. Testing the function Carry out an operational check when the complete meter (flow sensor and calculator) has been installed and connected.
Flow sensor manufacturers have been working on alternative techniques to replace the mechanical principle. Research and development at Kamstrup has proven that ultrasonic measuring is the most viable solution. Combined with microprocessor technology and piezo ceramics, ultrasonic measuring is not only accurate but also reliable.
