Page 25: Functional Principle
NivuFlow 550 Functional Principle 12 Operating Range The NivuFlow 550 is a non-portable measurement system for flow measurement. The equip- ment is conceived preferably for measurements in clear to heavily polluted aqueous liquids with various compositions. The system can be used in part filled flumes, channels and pipes featuring various shapes and dimensions. -
Page 26: Level Measurement
(e. g. by using an i-Series sensor). It is possible to directly connect 2-wire sensors supplied by the NivuFlow 550 (e. g. NivuBar, NivuCompact, i-Series sensor). A 4…20 mA signal provided by an external transmitter (such as 4…20 mA from NivuMaster) can be used as well. -

Page 53: Channel Profiles
Instruction manual NivuFlow 550 23.1.2 Channel Profiles The transmitter provides a great number of standard canal profiles mainly used in practice to choose from. Since special shapes can be found particularly in older channel systems the transmitter moreover allows entering the dimensions of symmetric and asymmetric channels specifying height/area figures into a table. - Page 54 Setting Parameters Fig. 23-3 Example of a channel profile menu Pipe This shape is suitable for round pipes. The selection can be used for half shells featuring a filling level of 50 % as well. Deformed pipes featuring an asymmetric height/width ratio can be set using the ellipsoid shape.
- Page 55 Programming water bed parameters requires thorough knowledge and experience in oper- ating the NivuFlow 550 as well as in hydrological conditions. We recommend programming to be implemented by the NIVUS commissioning service or an expert company authorised by NIVUS. For this profile the reference point/zero point must be defined by the user. Mostly the maximum filling level or the water surface on one side of a bank or a canal is determined as zero point.
- Page 56 Setting Parameters Fig. 23-4 Profile Parameters with Height-Width (sym.) Note A scale drawing is required to set the parameters of the channel. Ü Â Procedure: 1. Draw a vertical auxiliary line through the channel centre on the scale drawing. 2. Draw horizontal auxiliary lines through the distinctive points where the profile changes.
- Page 57 Instruction manual NivuFlow 550 Ü Â Procedure: 1. Draw a vertical auxiliary line from the lowest point of the channel to the top on the scale drawing. 2. Use this line as start to draw horizontal auxiliary lines through the distinctive points where the profile changes to the left and to the right.

Radar: • Average value • COSP Default setting: "COSP". NIVUS strongly recommends to maintain the setting since it provides the most accurate results. Remarks on Options COSP: • COSP denotes a correction factor for flow measurements and considers the channel parameters set as well as the resulting changes of the flow behaviour. -
Page 59: Low-Flow Suppression
Instruction manual NivuFlow 550 23.1.5 Low-Flow Suppression This parameter is to suppress very low movements or apparent flow volumes. The main area of use is the measurement of discharge volumes in permanently filled structures. Ü Â Tick >Active<. One more input option opens. Enter here the positive value you wish to suppress in case of lowest discharge. -
Page 60: Damping
Setting Parameters 23.1.6 Damping This menu permits to modify the damping of display and analog output in seconds. The damping relates to all level and flow velocity values available as input values. Individual values cannot be selected and damped differently. All measurement values are saved covering the selected period and a floating average value is created for each individual measurement value. - Page 61 Possible 0/4...20 mA-signals from an external transmitter such as NivuMaster or MultiRanger can be activated here too. i-Sensor • Connect ultrasonic i-Series sensors by NIVUS here. Connection is carried out via the HART interface. • NIVUS Air-Ultrasonic Level measurement from top down using an air-ultrasonic sensor type OCL-L1 or DSM-L0.

Page 62: Definition Of Measurement Ranges
Setting Parameters • Fixed Value This selection is conceived for permanently full pipes and channels. Level measure- ment is not required for such applications. The constant filling level is set as fixed value and then used by the system to calculate the flow rate. This parameter can be used as support for initial start-up or for test purposes without having level values available. - Page 63 Instruction manual NivuFlow 550 Fig. 23-11 Representation of programming sections A level sensor can be assigned to each one of the programming sections (see Fig. 23-9). The transmitter will assign the sensors to the appropriate programming section automatically. The assignment depends on the channel shape set before.

Setting Parameters 23.4 Inputs and Outputs (analog and digital) This menu is to define the functions of the analog as well as digital inputs and outputs. Fur- ther parameters such as measurement ranges and output spans, offsets, limit values, error responses etc. - Page 69 Instruction manual NivuFlow 550 Currently the analog inputs can be used only for external readings (such as temperature in °C). The transmitter hence can be utilised as an extra data logger for readings from other systems. This, however, does not affect the transmitter’s functionality as flow meter.
