Page 7: Installation
® 2. Installation • The Atrato must be installed in a positive pressure system. Ensure that there is sufficient back pressure on the flowmeter to keep any gas in solution. Back Pressure >500mbar plus two times the liquid vapour pressure backpressure •... - Page 8 ® Using suitable fixings, mount the connection box onto a rigid surface with the cable entry preferably at the bottom. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322...
- Page 9 Note that the rubber strip covering the terminals on the meter will not seal if water is persistently present in this area. Ensure the meter is not pressure washed. The Atrato can easily be dismounted by inserting a screwdriver under the mounting clip and gently unclipping it to release the main body.

The Atrato can be programmed using the USB connection via a computer. The Atrato can operate solely on USB power via the computer or a high quality USB2 power supply (e.g. RS 9076255 5V 5W supply), the meter display will function, as will the relay and pulse outputs (require target power). - Page 11 ® = Operates on External Power or USB = Operates on External Power only Atrato Connector Assignments Label Function Relay NO Isolated relay contact; normally open contact 24V 100mA Relay Isolated relay contact; change over contact 24V 100mA Common Relay NC Isolated relay contact;...

® 4. Interface Setup 4.1. Connecting Meter to PC Before use, download and install the Titan Interface Software from memory stick or the Atrato website: Atrato Technical / Atrato Downloads www.atratoflowmeters.com The Atrato low-flow ultrasonic flowmeter should be set up using the USB interface and a suitable windows-based computer. -
Page 13: Connecting Multiple Meters
If more than one meter is connected to the same PC, when starting, the Interface Software will open the window to choose which you wish to connect: By opening another copy of the Titan Interface Software you can connect and modify multiple meters from the same computer. -

Caution must be used however, as there is no temperature/density correction. Cut Off: Flow values below this level will be set to zero. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... -
Page 18: Display Appearance
• Both – The display can be cycled from rate to total using the Left-Hand button on the Atrato or the left button in the “Flow Details” window. The Total can be Reset at any time on the display model by pressing the Right-Hand Button when the Total is being displayed. -

This filter affects the Flow LCD display and the analog outputs only. Flow Switch alarms operate using the Filtered Flow It has no effect on the NPN and PNP outputs which report the unfiltered flow reading. 4.3.4. External Connections: Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... -
Page 20: Pin Assignments
The maximum output frequency is 1000 Hz so care must be taken to ensure that this pulse rate is not exceeded. Example Wiring for NPN and PNP pulse outputs: NOTE: Best practice is to place Pull Resistor up near target device Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... - Page 21 HIGH THRESHOLD will cause an alarm signal to Latch on when flow is seen above the set value. • LOW THRESHOLD will cause an alarm signal to Latch on when flow is seen below the set value.

- Page 22 The INVERT checkbox will reverse the action of the alarm output. For details for each PIN see the Alarm Logic Table or hover mouse over the set point to see the action of the output with the chosen settings. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322...
- Page 23 Choosing the Reverse flow option allows the user to send a signal from the assigned PIN when reverse flow is seen. Selecting INVERT will reverse the action of the signal to transmit when a positive flow is detected. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322...

Page 24: Alarm Logic Table
The NPN and PNP have different outputs when used due to their wiring. • Using the NPN: OFF =Powered +VDC and ON = Unpowered 0VDC • Using the PNP: OFF=Unpowered 0VDC and ON = Powered +VDC NOTE: Alarms use Filtered Flow Values! Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... -
Page 25: Input
(zero to 24V for PIN 7/NPN output). Because of the potential for conflict should the PNP output be activated accidentally, Titan Enterprises recommend a resistor so that the sink current cannot exceed 5mA. Example circuits: PIN 6: Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... - Page 26 Equivalent to the display right button press in batch mode. Additionally, the input can be configured to act on a rising or falling edge or both types of edge of the pulse as the trigger. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322...

Relay Resets when Threshold met: Flow Drops <1.00 = Relay OFF Batch Control: • Total required (Litres): the volume that can pass through the meter before the batch is considered complete and the relay is triggered. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... -
Page 28: Analog Outputs
® The Atrato has a simple Batch Control operation with the inbuilt relay. The operation is based on a relatively constant flow being seen by the meter during the batch fill. An internal algorithm predicts when the target flow level will be seen and shuts off the relay accordingly. -
Page 29: Flow Details Tab

When logged on the PIN can be changed or removed. A PIN can be removed either by setting it to zero (0000) or by de-selecting the “Advanced Tab protected with PIN” option. If you forget the PIN please contact your supplier for resetting instructions. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... -
Page 33: Median Filter
The median filter completely ignores this reading and for the zero reading returns the value of 3 from the results either side. This filter is particularly useful at low flows where a small dip in value could drop a result below the internal cut off levels. Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322... -
Page 34: Special Options: Limit Gain
The Atrato flowmeter has an automatic gain which will increase in order to find a signal. The more this is increased above calibration, the weaker the signal is in the liquid. - Page 35 “Slower” button to adjust the signal to the left of the measurement window. If required, the user can then enter a simple scaling factor on the User Settings tab, to adjust the water calibration to that of the liquid being measured.
