2.3 Wiring
The wiring must be carried out by a person with electrical accreditation. The flow meter must be powered
off before installing or uninstalling. The sectioning devices must be locked and tagged. The wiring must
respect the diagrams provided in the appendix for the power supply and for the inputs/outputs.
The protective cover must be fixed in place using a tool before powering on. The sectioning device must be
locked and tagged before dismounting this cover. The cover can be identified by the marking series printed
on its surface (symbol described later).
The flow meter must be powered off before dismounting the power connector. To do this, use the sectioning
device provided for this purpose.
It is sometimes necessary to protect the inputs/outputs, the power supply and the ultrasonic chords. It is
highly recommended to contact Ultraflux to obtain a diagnosis on this point. Ultraflux accepts no
responsibility in the event of the incorrect use of the flow meter, and in such cases, the Ultraflux guarantee
would not be valid.
2.4 Using the flow meter
The flow meter, equipped with ultrasonic measuring probes, is used to measure the flow of a fluid in open
channels (channel or river).
It is important to correctly configure the flow meter for its measurement results to be correct. It is
recommended that interventions be carried out by qualified staff from Ultraflux to ensure this is the case.
This is highly recommended if your equipment is used to regulate an installation, intervene in a monitoring
system, or in the case of other applications for which an incorrect flow measurement would lead to risks.
The heating surface of the flow meter must not be visible, since it is liable to cause burns. It is not
necessary to take any particular precautions to allow it to cool. Should the temperature of the cabinet rise
abnormally, it is recommended to power off the flow meter and call Ultraflux for expert advice. In the event
of a fire inside the flow meter, power it off without opening or touching it, then call the services concerned
in order to secure the premises.
The flow meter must not be used beyond the possibilities and specifications given in this manual. The flow
meter must be stored in a dry place, with the packaging provided by Ultraflux in order to protect the parts
liable to be damaged by a collision. The use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) adapted for the
handling and installation of the flow meter (safety boots, protective gloves) is recommended.
The flow meter must only be modified or disassembled by Ultraflux personnel. Ultraflux accepts no
responsibility should this rule not be respected. No consumables are used for the operation of the flow
meter.
