  • Page 23: Sensor Mounting

    UF D5500 Doppler Flow Meter SENSOR MOUNTING LOCATION The position of the sensor is one of the most important considerations for accurate flow measurement. The same location guidelines apply to Doppler as most other types of flow meters. VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL PIPE - Vertical pipe runs generally provide evenly distributed flow.
  • Page 24 The objective of site preparation is to eliminate any discontinuity between the sensor and the pipe wall, which would prevent acoustical coupling. A PC4 Sensor Mounting Kit is supplied with each Micronics flow meter. It includes recommended coupling compound and a stainless steel mounting bracket with adjustable pipe straps.
  • Page 25 Over time temporary coupling compounds (e.g. Petroleum Gel) may gradually sag away from the sensor resulting in reduced signal strength and finally complete loss of signal. Warm temperatures, moisture and vibration will accelerate this process. Super Lube ® as supplied with the UF D5500 (and available from Micronics Limited) is recommended for semi-permanent installations.

  • Page 27: Enclosure Installation

    UF D5500 Doppler Flow Meter ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION Locate the enclosure within 20 ft (6 m) of the sensor (500 ft -150 m optional). The enclosure can be wall mounted with the four mounting screws (included) or panel mounted with Option PM Panel Mount kit from Micronics Limited.

  • Page 31: Common Questions And Answers

    COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The pipe vibrates. Will it affect the flow meter? Common vibration frequencies are far lower than the sonic frequencies used by the Micronics flow meter, and will not normally affect accuracy or performance. However, applications where very weak Doppler signal is present (when sensitivity is adjusted to maximum and signal strength is low), accuracy may be affected by pipe vibration, or the flow meter may show readings under no-flow conditions.
  • Page 32 Does the UF D5500 require periodic recalibration? UF D5500 calibration does not drift over time. The solid state sensor has no moving parts to wear and affect calibration. The Doppler flow technique generates an ultrasonic signal proportional to the velocity of flow.
