Preface

These instructions contain
SITRANS F US ultrasonic flowmeter transmitter type FUS060 HART with sensor type SONO
3100, SONO 3300, SONOKIT 1- and 2-tracks.
These instructions are intended to assist personnel performing mechanical installation,
electrical connection and commissioning of the device, as well as service and maintenance
engineers.
1.2 Introduction
This manual describes only the installation of the FUS060 HART transmitter (with HART
interface). The transmitter FUS060 with a sensor (SONO 3100, SONO 3300 or SONOKIT) is
designed for measuring the flow velocity of liquids in full pipes. Satisfactory function of the
ultrasonic flowmeter depends on a low sound attenuation of the medium and a well-defined and
stable flow profile.
The installation of an ultrasonic flowmeter system with transmitter type FUS060 is divided into
5 steps:
1. Selection of the measuring site
2. Installation of the sensor in the pipe (see separate sensor manual)
3. Mechanical installation of the transmitter (e. g. wall mounting)
4. Electrical connection of the transmitter
5. Electrical connection of the sensor transducers to the transmitter
To ensure optimum performance of the measuring equipment it is essential that the
following instructions are followed.
Siemens Flow Instruments SITRANS F US ultrasonic flowmeters are designed for measurement
of:
• Volume or mass flow rate
• Limit monitoring
• Total volume or mass
• Sound velocity in the media
SITRANS F US ultrasonic flowmeters measure flow in standard volumetric and mass flow units.
Measurement is independent of changes in liquid temperature, density, pressure, and
conductivity.
Potential Hazards
Both transmitter and sensor must be grounded for optimal performance.
According to the "Ex-requirements", the 'PE-terminals' on the FUS060 and on the sensors
(SONO 3200 transducers or SONO 3300 sensor) must be potential equalised (min. 4 mm
