Page 4: Typical Applications
The external probe (SE) solution is possible with most fluids circulating through metal or plastic pipes. Ultraflux offers a wide range of probes distributed in terms of frequency and signs to suit a multitude of applications on inside pipe diameters ranging from 10 mm to more than 3 meters. - Page 5 1-1 – Principle of measurement: The principle of measurement is detailed and commented on in our training manual NT 106. To summarize, note that it bears on the velocity difference (and therefore the ultrasound wave transit times) in a moving medium, depending on whether the movement is with or against the current.
- Page 6 1-3 – Speed of sound in fluids – Relation with density – Influence of P and T: The speed of sound in a fluid is a full-fledged physical characteristic which may be linked with others, such as density (d), pressure (P), temperature (T) or the % of two or several miscible products or with another magnitude having good analogy, like compressibility.

3 – ERGONOMICS AND DIMENSIONS OF MINI 600 & 2000 CONVERTERS 3-1: Industrial version for wall mounting (IP 67) The two stuffing boxes on the left-hand side are for the supply (top) and the outlets. The two stuffing boxes on the right are for probe cables. To open the MiniSonic *(cabling or other), undo the four corner screws and remove the cover by disconnecting the flat interconnection cable from the display on the display side. - Page 10 3-2 : Ex d CE ATEX Version (Ex d IIC T6) – IP 67: > See also NT 219-B - The keypad keys have the same functions as for the industrial version. - The two stuffing boxes on the porthole side are reserved for cables to the probes. - To carry out the internal cabling of the probe cables on the MiniSonic card, it is necessary to pull the support rack forwards: remove the three front panel screws.
- Page 11 4 – MINISONIC 600 & 2000 WIRING PLAN: (Low Voltage Supply) If the GP 01 Module for 90 to 230 V AC Supply is installed, see also NT 218 - Internal cables must be kept as short as possible. Cables are to enter through the stuffing box facing the terminals.
- Page 12 Attention! If this R loop is too high for the supply, the curent fall down to 4 mA Connection of two probes: BR 4 (BR 3 is reserved for the dual-channel versions) - Use preferably the twin-ax cables (ET1217) specified by Ultraflux. - For armoured cable (ET1217A), stop the foil wrap before or inside the gland.

Under header §2, we give some information about expected accuracy depending on available straight length and transducers mounting modes. When you will arrive in front a new pipe to be measured, you must have some good reflex, and your experience will help for.

Once the cabling has been carried out and verified, power up the system: > The MiniSonic must display its home screens: - Hardware version = MiniSonic 600 or 2000 or Ex d (2000) - Firmware version = 18.10-01 (e.g. - Page 16 8 - DETAILED REVIEW OF MENUS – MiniSonic Versions 600 and 2000 (+ Ex d) Here below we list the different menus with values and data as displayed by the LCD and what it is allowed to modify to do the setting. At the end of the chapter, we list some other functions or menu, which require the use of our LS_600W software on a PC.

However, it may be necessary to modify them to adjust them to the site. If most of the operations can be performed from the keyboard, some call for the LS_600W (be sure to choose the right version).
- Page 23 Each application has its priorities. Accordingly, the MiniSonic is particularly flexible and can be adapted to extreme situations, meaning that many applications are possible. Ultraflux fills in each value or text field 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.

If the fault persists, contact Ultraflux (Problem with the microprocessor). If the MiniSonic displays “Flow Rate Fault”, this message does not mean that the MiniSonic has failed, but that the ultrasound signals have not reached the expected level or are outside the window [Co +/- Delta C].
