1 Introduction
This manual provides instructions for replacing the system on module (SoM) using the
SoM Upgrade Kit, located on the Ultrasonic Meter Control Board (UMCB) of the
following meters:
l
Ultra Series C Liquid Ultrasonic Flowmeter
l
MPU Series C Ultrasonic Gas Flowmeter
This procedure assumes the appropriate Ethernet or fiber-optic communications
cabling are accessible in a safe area for connection between a PC and the sealed
UMCB enclosure that is mounted in the hazardous area.
1.1 Weights and Measures Requirements
TechnipFMC's Ultra and MPU series of ultrasonic meters are used in a global market.
Requirements regarding weights and measures may vary depending on the region of
installation and type of installation. In the majority of cases in which the meter is
controlled by a weights and measures certificate, the software version is defined and
controlled.
In the case of a controlled measurement application, users are required to verify that
the TechnipFMC Ultrasonic meter is configured and operated in a manner consistent
with the controlling certificate and local codes, and that proper notification (permit for
use) or registration has been filed with the local authority or jurisdiction. This
requirement also pertains to software updates of the meter.
Weights and measures authorities rely on either physical sealing or electronic sealing
with password protection to secure metrological parameters for use in legal trade
applications. For instructions on setting a passwords for metrological parameters and
information about physically sealing the electronic enclosure and specific meter
components, refer to the Ultra Series C Liquid Ultrasonic Flowmeters Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual (
) or MPU Series C Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual (
).
