Test Block

A test block is included with the Portaflow 220 equipment to 
allow the transducers and inter-connecting cables to be 
functionally checked.

1.

Switch 

ON

 the instrument.

2.

Select 

Quick start

 and enter the parameters shown 

in the table below for the appropriate transducer type 
(A or B):

3.

When the above data is entered, the 

SENSOR SEPARATION

 screen will be displayed. 

4.

Use the 

UP/DOWN

 scroll key to go to the 

SENSOR SELECTION

 menu. Select the appropriate sensor (the 

default will be "

A

") and press 

ENTER

 to return to the 

SENSOR SEPARATION

 menu. 

5.

Select 

Sensor mode

 and position the cursor at 

Diagonal

 and press 

ENTER

 to return to the 

SENSOR 

SELECTION

 menu.

6.

Select 

Exit

 and press 

ENTER

 to return to the  

SENSOR SEPARATION

 screen. 

7.

Check that the parameters displayed are correct.

8.

Apply acoustic couplant to the sensors and attach them to the test block with the connectors positioned 
towards the centre of the test block as shown, and temporarily secure them in place using elastic bands 
or tape.

9.

Connect the sensors to the Portaflow 220 instrument using the cables provided.

10. Press 

ENTER

 to go to the

 FLOW READING

 screen. 

11. Select the 

Options

 key to go to the 

FLOW READING OPTION

 menu and set the 

Damping

 to at least 

10

 

seconds. 

BATTERY ERRORS 

Battery Low

Interpretation:

 The battery has discharged to below 30% remaining. This leaves the 

instrument with approximately 4 hours remaining, depending on power usage, 
before it needs recharging.

Response:

 Recharge the internal battery at the earliest opportunity. Do not leave 

the instrument for a prolonged period with a fully discharged battery.

Battery Exhausted

Interpretation:

 The battery is approaching a fully discharged state and the 

instrument is about to store the internal data and shut-down. 

Response:

 Recharge the battery.
