Page 6: About This Manual
The fields identified with the “i“ contain supplementary and helpful information. The instruction manual describes the function of both deltawaveC-P and deltawaveC-F in 1-channel and 2-channel version. In addition to the chapters you will find the corresponding pictograms. This indicates which of the devices the chapter applies to.
Page 7: Deltawavec-F/P & Components
Manual 3 deltawaveC-F/P & components deltawaveC-F/P key points:  deltawaveC-F/P is a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter for liquids in completely filled pipelines.  deltawaveC-F/P works based on the transit time method.  deltawaveC-F/P provides heat measurement by default. Clamp-on Pt100 temperature sensors are available as an optional.
Page 8: Scope Of Delivery Deltawavec-F / P Basic Package
Other ultrasonic transducers for smaller or larger pipe dimensions, as well as clamp-on temperature sensors, are available on separate order. Every deltawaveC-F can be retrofitted with a serial interface board (optional). It can be connected either to an RS232 serial interface board or to a RS485 interface.

A high level of electrical noise (EMC problems) In any case, an improvement in the signal quality can be achieved either by an improvement in the acoustic useful signal or by avoiding interference signals. 99 systec Controls Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH 14.02.2023...
Page 100 Use a different transducer (lower frequency) The following is a list of some measures to avoid interfering signals:  For the deltawaveC-F/P, ensure that the shield and core of the converter cables are connected correctly (see 3.3).  Check whether your media is sufficiently vented and does not contain too many solids.
Page 101: Signal Sharpness
Manual 15.2.2 Signal sharpness The signals from deltawaveC-F / P are coded to reliably identify the ultrasonic signals even in the case of very poor signal-to-noise ratios. For this purpose deltawaveC-F / P uses phase shifts in the transmit signals. The more clearly these phase shifts can be seen in the receive signal, the more stable your measurement will be under unfavourable measuring conditions.
Page 102: Signal Decoupling On Small Pipelines
Figure 26: Signal decoupling through higher transducer frequency The deltawaveC-F/P has very powerful signal unbundling algorithms. These are applied when you enable the Auto-Window function. Nonetheless, signal superimposition may occur in particular in the case of very small pipelines and / or unsafe pipe dimensions.
Page 103: The Auto Window Function / Afc-Technology
This, albeit to a small extent, is caused by changes in sound velocity. The algorithms of deltawaveC-F / P take into account the currently evaluated sound velocity for the calculation. This means that changes in the sound velocity as well as the invariable position of the ultrasonic transducers are iteratively taken into account in all subsequent calculations.
Page 104 An activated auto window function always tries to keep the measurement windows at the position calculated by deltawaveC-F/P as the ideal position. If you want to manually position the measurement window using the arrow keys in the OSZ window, you must deactivate the auto window function.

Encoding of the send signal. The send code can be changed manually. Following codes are available: „Burst9-9“, „Burst4“, „Barker5“, Barker7“, Barker8“, Barker11“ and ,,Barker15“,. By default, the deltawaveC-F/P uses Barker7 signal coding (factory setting). 105 systec Controls Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH...
