UltraFlo ® 2000 SERIES Ultrasonic Flow Meter Installation Instructions Note : The housing of UltraFlo is labeled with an arrow symbolizing the direction of the flow measurement. The flow meter has to be installed in a way so that the flowthrough is in the same direction as the arrow symbol. The housing of Flowmeter is labeled with an arrow symbolizing the direction of the flow.
UltraFlo ® 2000 SERIES Ultrasonic Flow Meter Assembly of the Flowmeter Note : The flow meter is mounted into a pipe system by using the mechanical connection. UltraFlo should be mounted vertically into the pipe for the best measuring performance. Do not install the flow meter after a dosing valve where the flow meter can run empty. Placing the flow meter after a dosing valve and allowing it to run empty will cause a measuring deviation at the next measurement.
UltraFlo ® 2000 SERIES Ultrasonic Flow Meter Electrical Wiring Serious injury or death from electric shock may occur if wiring, installation, disassembly or remove of wires is performed while electrical power is energized. Always shut off or disconnect electrical power at service panel and lock switch or breaker and tag to prevent energizing electrical power during work or while Flowmeter is not assembled and installed.

UltraFlo ® 2000 SERIES Ultrasonic Flow Meter Commissioning NOTE : If Flowmeter is used for a fluid other than water the "basic trim" has to be carried out during commissioning. Therefor the device has absolutely be filled with medium. The basic trim can be done on the device display (alternatively Programmtool). During the adjustment the medium may not flow as it affects the function Operation If Flowmeter is used as volume flowmeter for water or water-like liquids, it will not require on-site calibration.

UltraFlo ® 2000 SERIES Ultrasonic Flow Meter 10. Creeping Flow Suppression The creeping suppression excludes flow measurements that result from convection in a narrow band around zero, even with a closed valve. At the factory, the creeping suppression is set at a standard value in relation to the cross-section of the flowmeter. There are higher tolerances below the Standard Default Settings.
