Communication is established via digital signal Monitor FTMU using Modbus. Design The monitor consists of a sensor body with Lindab Safe gaskets. Two flow sensors are mounted on the sensor body and connected to a display unit. The display unit is mounted ontop of a shelf on the sensor body.
Planning The longer distance to disturbance, i.e. the longer straight duct before the Monitor, the higher the measurement accuracy will be. However this is not the only factor which affects the accuracy of the measurement. The rotation of the Monitor and hence the positioning of the first flow sensor has an impact on the uncertainty of the measurement.

Mount the Monitor into the air duct system according to the mounting instructions for Lindab Safe. Do not use the flow sensors as handles when you mount the Monitor since this may cause damage and changes in their posi- tions might effect the measurement accuracy.

Digital connection Connect A on the RTU to -A on the display unit and B to +B. When connecting more than one Monitor in series it is impor- tant to keep connecting A to A and B to B since crossing them will stop Modbus from working. The shield in the RS485 cable should be continuous over the entire bus, it should ne connected to ground before or at the first UltraLink and at ®...
Power supply Transformer sizing Power consumption The needed size of 24 V AC transformer(s) can be defined The power consumption for dimensioning supply cables by adding up the dimensioning power consumption [VA] for an UltraLink Monitor is 0,5 VA. ® of all the components.
Display The display can show useful information both with the green diode (status light) and with parameters in the LCD. By short pressing the mode button you can change the displayed parameter. If the button is pressed for more than 5 seconds (long press) then the configuration menu will be visible.

Configuration menu structure The settings that are related to RS485 communication can also be set via the display. The configuration menu is activated by long pressing the button (5 sec). After long pressing the button the first menu option appears in the display. Toggle to the next menu tag by short pressing the button.
