Chapter 1. General installation instructions Chapter 1. General installation instructions Introduction Thank you for purchasing the AT600 ultrasonic flow meter. The AT600 is a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter for the measurement of liquid products. It is designed for the industrial applications, including water, wastewater, steel, campus energy, and others.
Chapter 1. General installation instructions Theory of operation The AT600 flow meter uses a procedure called transit-time flow measurement. In this method, two transducers, which are in acoustic communication with each other, serve as both ultrasonic signal generators and receivers. That is, the second transducer can receive ultrasonic signals transmitted by the first transducer and vice versa.
Chapter 1. General installation instructions Safety guidelines To ensure safe and reliable operation of the AT600, the system must be installed in accordance with the guidelines discussed in this manual. This chapter includes the following topics: • dasda • “Unpacking the AT600 system” on page 4 •...
Chapter 1. General installation instructions Unpacking the AT600 system Before removing the AT600 system from the crate, please inspect the flow meter. Before discarding any of the packing materials, account for all components and documentation listed on the packing slip. The discarding of an important item along with the packing materials is all too common.
