QUICK SETUP Screw pipe into meter with flow going into port marked “IN”. Teflon tape or pipe dope discouraged PIPING WIRING Wire must be in accordance with all local and national codes. Wire size and insulation ratings should support actual loads. In all cases, wire must be, as a minimum, 20 AWG Teflon insulated rated at 600 V and 200 ˚C.
WIRING of TRANSMITTER WITH OR WITHOUT HART WARNING: ELECTRICAL HAZARD - DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE REMOVING COVER. This instrument was made for the specific use stated at time of order. Any other use may cause injury. Read instructions before using. AVERTISSEMENT: RISQUE ÉLECTRIQUE - DÉBRANCHEZ L'ALIMENTATION AVANT DE RETIRER LE COUVERCLE.
MAXIMUM DIMENSIONS INSTALLATION For best results, the meters may be installed in any position as long as proper piping installation requirements are observed. This includes sufficient support of adjacent piping to minimize the system’s inherent vibration. Unions of the same pipe size and full port isolation ball valves may be installed for ease of removal and servicing of equipment, if necessary.

INTRODUCTION TO HART ®FIELD DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS Scope The Universal Flow Monitors water flow transmitter, model ME Transmitter complies with HART Protocol Revision 7.0. This document specifies all the device specific features and documents HART Protocol implementation details (e.g., the Engineering Unit Codes supported).
UFM flowmeters: MN/MM/MH and PI model flow meters as manufactured by Universal Flow Monitors, Inc. The analog output of this device is linear with flow over the working range of all supported flowmeters.
HOST INTERFACE ANALOG OUTPUT 1: PROCESS FLOW The two-wire 4-20mA current loop is connected to two terminals on the transmitter circuit board. Depending on the product used, one of the two configurations are offered for field wiring. A secondary terminal strip away from the PCB (mounted in a separate compartment of the flowmeter) and is marked (+) and (–). The red wire connects the (+) terminal on the PCB to (+) and the black wire connects the (–) terminal on the PCB to (–).
This is the only output from this transmitter, representing the process flow measurement, linearized and scaled according to the configured range of the instrument. This output corresponds to the Primary Variable. HART Communication is supported on this loop. A guaranteed linear over-range is provided. Device malfunction can be indicated by the up-scale current of 24mA. Current values are shown in the table below.

COMMON-PRACTICE COMMANDS SUPPORTED COMMANDS The following common-practice commands are implemented: Read Device Variables Write Range Values Perform Master Reset Write PV Units Read Device Variable Information In command 54 the acquisition period is unused. Values are typically updated every 100ms. BURST MODE This Field Device does not support Burst Mode.

TABLES FLOW UNIT CODES (Subset of HART Common Table 2, Unit Codes) Gallons Per Minute (GPM) Liters Per Minute (LPM) Cubic Meters Per Hour (CMH) UNIT CONVERSION Internally, the transmitter uses Gallons per Minute. Conversions are made using a floating point factor. Values are directly converted from GPM when possible, however Alarm values changed between units are converted from stored unit value: New Unit Previous Unit...
PERFORMANCE SAMPLING RATES Typical sampling rates are shown in the following table. PV digital value calculation 10 per second SV digital value calculation 10 per second Analog output update 10 per second POWER-UP The device is typically ready within 1 second of power-up. Totalizer is initialized to zero.
BUSY AND DELAYED-RESPONSE Device busy is not used. Delayed-response is not used. LONG MESSAGES The largest data field used is in the response to Command 21: 34 bytes including the two status bytes. NON-VOLATILE MEMORY EEPROM is used to hold the device’s configuration parameters. New data is written within 100ms of command receipt. MODES Fixed current mode is not implemented.

COLLECTOR ALARM (AVAILABLE WITH LCD) Alarms Disconnect power before removing cover. Remove the cover to set the switch settings. NOTE: the threads between the body and the cover are very fine, so it will take multipa1le turns to remove the cover. Be very careful not to cross thread the threads. Ensure the cover is properly re-installed and tightened prior to placing in an explosive operating environment.

3. Use A1 to change the blinking digit. The setpoint is changed one digit at a time. A1 increments each individual digit (9 rolls over back to 0), while A2 is used for recording the new digit value and selecting the next digit. 4.
