  • Page 16: Section 3 - Operation

    505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter SECTION 3 OPERATION Modes of Operation When using the 505-1302 Open Channel Flowmeter, there are two modes of operation: flow or distance mode. • • • • • In the flow (or level) mode, the current output (4-20 mA) increases as the liquid level rises.
  • Page 17 505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter Indicators & Controls —Alarm Relays Outputs for Near Zone and Lost (continued) Echo are provided to activate external relays or alarms. These are separate relay packages purchased as an option. —Step Gain Switch Changes the gain of the ultra- sonic transmitter to lessen any effect due to noise or obstruction.
  • Page 18: Time Delay

    505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter Time Delay Increasing time delay to either 15 or 45 seconds will smooth out a jumpy output signal caused by wave action or turbu- lence. Step Gain Switch The step gain switch can be used to decrease the acoustic signal and avoid noise interference.
  • Page 19: Section 4 - Calibration

    505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter SECTION 4 CALIBRATION The 505-1302 Series transmitter must be set for the type and size 4.1 Introduction of the primary device and the actual zero and span values for the specific application. This procedure is outlined in Sections 4.1 through 4.3.

  • Page 21: Standard Calibration

    505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter Standard Calibration Use this procedure to set the Zero and Span values. a. With the power off, set the Zero switches in inches (to the nearest 0.1 inch) to equal the distance from the transducer face to the level that represents 0% flowrate (4mA).
  • Page 22: Secondary Calibration

    505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter Secondary Calibration CAUTION Secondary calibration procedure permanently overwrites factory calibration. a. Perform the standard calibration per Section 4.3. b. Record the Zero switch settings. c. Measure the distance from the transducer face to the liquid level as accurately as possible (to the nearest 0.1 inch).
  • Page 23: Setpoint Calibration

    505-1320 Series Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeter Setpoint Calibration a. Refer to Figure 4-1 for location of relay switches. (only for those units equipped with optional b. Alarm points are set directly in tenths of inches 24 Vdc output) from zero point. As an example, an alarm point could be set 6 inches from the zero point or minimum level.
