Product Description - INTEGRA Metering AMFLO SONIC UFA-280 Mounting And Operating Instructions

Battery operation:
• For all battery versions the transmitter of the flowmeter
should be mounted vertically! Otherwise the lifetime of
the battery will be reduced. Therefore, the battery compact
versions should not be installed in vertical pipelines -
see figure.
• When battery-operated, AMFLO
installation can be considered in conformance with LVD, only when the AMFLO
equipment conforming to LVD.
• Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content. They are designed to meet the highest
possible safety standard. They may, however, present a potential hazard if they are abused electrically or mechani-
cally. This is in most circumstances associated with the generation of excessive heat, where increased internal
pressure may cause the cell to rupture.
• Thus the following basic precautions should be observed when handling and using lithium batteries:
- Do not short-circuit, recharge, overcharge or connect with false polarity.
- Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate the battery.
- Do not crush, puncture or open cells or disassemble battery packs.
- Do not weld or solder to the body of the battery.
- Do not expose contents to water.
• Lithium batteries are regulated under United Nations Model Regulations on Transport of Dangerous goods,
UN document ST/SGAC.10-1,12
with or inside the equipment. UN no. 3090 class 9 covers transportation of batteries on their own.
Thus the following basic precautions should be taken when transporting lithium batteries:
- Transport only in special packaging with special labels and transportation documents.
- Exercise caution in handling, transportation and packing in order to prevent short circuiting of the batteries.
- The gross mass of the package is limited according to the type of transportation. In general, a gross mass below
5 kg is acceptable for all forms of transportation.
• Remove battery from transmitter before returning the flowmeter to the Manufacturer for service or warranty claim.

Product description

The 2-track ultrasonic flowmeter AMFLO
flow in district heating plants, local stations, substations, chiller plants and other general water applications including treated water and
irrigation applications.
AMFLO SONIC UFA-280 is available in either compact or remote versions and electrical wiring and operation are identical for both types.
®
The maximum permissible distance between sensor and transmitter is 30 meters.
The flowmeter comes as a transmitter and a sensor part. For both systems the sensor part cannot be ordered without a transmitter.
Maximum temperature (compact version)
Maximum temperature (remote version)
No settings on installation are required as all parameters are set from factory (plug and play).
