Page 9: Chapter 1. Introduction
Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction Overview Thank you for purchasing the PanaFlow LC ultrasonic flowmeter. The PanaFlow LC flowmeter is a one, two, or three channel ultrasonic transit time flowmeter that utilizes clamp on transducers on external pipe surfaces to allow for uninterrupted flow operation during flow measurement. -
Page 10: Theory Of Operation
Chapter 1. Introduction Theory of Operation The PanaFlow LC uses a procedure called Transit-Time Flow Measurement. In this method, the flowmeter transmits ultrasonic pulses through a moving liquid. The pulses that travel in the same direction as the fluid flow (downstream) travel slightly faster than the pulses that travel against the fluid flow (upstream). -

Chapter 2. Installation Chapter 2. Installation Installation Guidelines This section provides general information with respect to the mechanical and electrical installation, and should be thoroughly reviewed before the system is installed. To ensure safe and reliable operation of the PanaFlow LC, the system must be installed in accordance with the established guidelines. -
Page 12: Unpacking
Chapter 2. Installation Unpacking Before removing the PanaFlow LC from its box, please inspect both the box and the instrument carefully. Each instrument manufactured by Panametrics is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. 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. -
Page 13: Site Considerations
Chapter 2. Installation Site Considerations Proper installation of the PanaFlow LC is important to achieve optimum performance from the system. The following installation recommendations provide general guidelines of how this system should be installed. If the following recommendations cannot be met, please consult the factory for a more detailed review of the application to see what performance may be achievable. - Page 14 Chapter 2. Installation Figure 4: Recommended Installation Location and Orientation • If the clamping fixture is to be placed downstream of an elbow, the orientation of the clamping fixture must be placed in such a way that the transducer path is perpendicular to the plane of the piping to compensate for swirl.

Page 16: Determining Transducer Spacing
Chapter 2. Installation 2.4.2 Determining Transducer Spacing Transducer spacing is determined by programming the PanaFlow LC transmitter with process conditions as described in the programming menu section of the XMT1000 manual. Final spacing will be determined by the pipe specification, fluid, transducers, and traverses. Please refer to the XMT1000 manual determining transducer spacing. For installation of SCF Fixture, please go to Section 2.4.3. -

Installation Figure 15: Odd Number of Traverse SCF Installation without Transducer 2.4.3.3 Installation of Transducer For any of the fixtures above except for the SPCF, the last step in the installation is mounting the transducers into the clamping fixture. Although not all transducer models are installed the same way, the following information provides some general guidelines to help you. - Page 22 Chapter 2. Installation To mount the transducers into a clamping fixture, complete the following steps: To ensure that the minimum bend radius of the cable is met, the cable adapter is added in series with the transducer cable assembly and the transducer. Connect the transducer cables to the BNC connectors on the transducers, ensuring that the labels on the cables match with the transducers.
- Page 23 Chapter 2. Installation Figure 19: Transducer Mounting, Step 2 Panametrics supplies an ultrasonic couplant for your clamp-on installation. The purpose of the couplant is to provide reliable transmission of ultrasound between two adjacent solid surfaces. Couplants perform this task by excluding air from the space between the adjacent surfaces.
- Page 24 Chapter 2. Installation Determine the upstream and downstream ends of the pipe and place the appropriate transducer into the corresponding block on one of the sub-assemblies. Make sure the transducer cable connector faces away from the center of the installation.
