Transducer
Setup
The
Transducer Setup
branch of the
Configuration Edit Menu
allows you to
establish the fundamental parameters of the
flow meter, including the ultrasonic
transducers, the pipe to which they are
mounted, the liner inside the pipe, if any,
and the fluid flowing in the pipe.
Using information entered here, the
flowmeter calculates many “engineering”
parameters that are critical to accurate
measurement. This is done when a

is “activated”, but not when a user exits
Setup Mode
by “escaping”
(for example, after the five minute timeout). Note that changes in this area of
configuration followed by an escape from
Setup Mode
may cause the flowmeter to
display incorrect flow information.
Under the
Transducer Setup
branch, the following actions are available:
Measurement Units
allows you to specify
whether dimensions will be entered in
inches and the speed of sound in feet-per-
second (English) or dimensions will be
entered in millimeters and the speed of
sound in meters-per-second (Metric). This
choice and all entered numbers must be
consistent when a Set is activated. If, for
example, the pipe diameter is entered as
2.00 when English units are selected but the
choice is then changed to Metric, it is
necessary to go back and enter 50.8 as the
pipe diameter or the flowmeter will attempt
to configure itself for a pipe which is only 2
millimeters across (and will fault).
Transducer --> Model Number
allows you to
specify the model number of the transducer
pair used. You should not change this
setting unless you use a different transducer
pair from that originally supplied. The
transducer model number (A00 through
A20) is printed on the transducer housing.
Transducer --> Mount Method
allows you to
specify the transducer mount method used
when the meter is set for Transit Time
measurement mode. The options are “Z”
mount (transducers on opposite sides of the
pipe, directly facing each other),and “V”
mount (transducers on the same side of the
pipe, one reflection from the far wall). See
section 4.3.
