2 Product Description This section covers the reference and specification data, as well as ordering information. 2.1 Introduction Tek-Clamp 1200A-100H Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a completely non-invasive Ultrasonic Flow Meter. The flow meter uses the ultrasonic signal to measure the flow rates with the transit time method.
The sound passes through the pipe or liquid diagonally. The selection of the right method depends on the characteristics of the liquid. 2.3 Specifications 2.3.1 Technical Specifications for Hand-Held Device ±1% of reading at rates >0.2 mps Accuracy 0.03 to 100ft/sec Velocity Range 0.2% Repeatability...

3.3 Installation Condition 3.3.1 Sensors 3.3.1.1 Selection Of Sensor Position The first step before installation should be finding a suitable position to place the sensors. This is a requirement for accurate measurement results. Some basic knowledge about the pipes / the plumbing system is necessary. The ideal location would be an infinitely long, straight pipe, whereas there must be no entrapped air (air bubbles) in the liquid.
The following should be considered when looking for a good measuring position: 1. Install the sensors on a preferably long, straight pipe filled with the liquid and does not contain any air bubbles. 2. Make sure that the liquid and thus the pipe is not too hot for the sensors. The temperature should be as similar to the room temperature as possible.
3.3.1.3 Spacing Between the Sensors The distance between the upstream and the downstream sensor can be seen in window M25. The window states the inner distance between the two sensors, which you should stick to as accurately as possible. The information in M25, however, must only be considered a coarse adjustment.

4 Electrical Installations • Please cut off power supply before connecting the device • Check the cable model before connecting the cable. • Follow the procedure for cable into lead collar: - • At first, loosen the gland nut on lead collar and take off blind, secondly, put gland nut and rubber ring on cable, make the cable through lead collar;...
4.1 Signal Strength • Signal strength indicates the amplitude of receiving ultrasonic signals by a 3-digit number. [000] means there is no signal detected and [999] refers to the maximum signal strength that can be received. • The following methods are recommended to obtain stronger signals: 1.
CAUTION • Make sure the sensor connected to the earth. • Make sure the liquid is still when regulating instruments. • The electrode and the liquid should be in contact for about 48 hours. 4.3.2 Key’s Function • Key’s function in self- testing way Down button cycles through data displayed on “Down”...
• Correct the password with one of the new passwords that are provided by manufacturer. Finally, press the “Compound” +” Enter” keys to work in Parameters Setting Way. • There are 6 Passwords in design and among them 4 for deferent operators in secret and 2 are fixed passwords for system operation.
4.3.5 Menu Windows The user interface of this flow meter comprises about 100 different menu windows that are numbered by M00, M01, M02 … M99. There are two methods to get into certain menu window: • Direct jump in. The user can press the MENU key followed by a 2-digit number. For example, the menu window M11 is for setting up pipe outer diameter.
4.3.6 Menu Window List • M00~M09 windows are suitable for viewing the instantaneous flow rate, net totalizer value, positive totalizer value, negative totalizer value, instantaneous flow velocity, date time, battery voltage and estimated working hours for the battery. • M10~M29 windows have to be used for entering system parameters, such as pipe outer diameter, pipe wall thickness, liquid type, transducer type / model, transducer installation method, etc.
4.3.7 Steps to Configure the Parameters 1. Pipe outer diameter. 2. Pipe wall thickness. 3. Pipe materials. 4. Linear material and its sound speed and thickness shows half sentence what any linear. 5. For non-standard liquids, the sound speed of the liquid is also needed. 6.
The following tips will facilitate the operation of this instrument. • When the current window is one between M00 to M09, pressing a number key x will enter into the M0x window directly. For example, if the current window display is M01, pressing 7 leads to window M07. •...
