NCM 603 HAND HELD CLAMP ON ULTRASONIC TRANSIT TI ME FLOWMETER Ouick Start Operation Manual Rev 8 27 08 This Ouick Start is provided solely to help you get the flowmeter up and running as guickly as possible Step 1 Power On Charge the battery fully before using the instrument The charging system is provide within your starter kit Press the ON button The meter will go through a self checking process to make sure all is within normal working conditions After a second the screen similar to the figure on the right will appear If it does not please write down the error message and contact us Step 2 Configure the Measurement Settings 2 1 Enter transducer info skip this if you have only one transducer pair Change the Scale Factor Press keys M45 e g press MENU 4 and 5 keys orderly Then press the ENT key Key in the new scale factor of the transducer 2 2 Enter pipe info M11 Pipe OD press keys M11 e g press MENU 1 and 1 M11 keys orderly and then ENT The display should be Outer Diameter similar to the figure on the right Now enter the pipe outer 4 500 in diameter and press the ENT key to confirm ENT and gt enter the pipe wall thickness value Press ENT again to confirm M12 Wall Thickness Press to scroll down to the next menu M12 Press ENT and enter the pipe wall thickness value Press ENT to conform M13 Pipe ID Press Lito scroll down to the next menu M13 The correct ID
2. If you believe your entries are correct and the three numbers are still off their ranges you may need to check your installation Here are some tips Moving transducers closer to or away from each other will increase or decrease the transit time ratio R The sound speed information in menu M92 might also be useful for debugging The displayed value should M92 be close to the one you have entered in step 2 3 Fluid Sound Vel M15 If you have entered fluid type in step 2 3 0 0000 f s instead and you do not know the fluid sound speed you can find this information in the Appendix If all the three parameters are good your installation is done You are ready to look at your measurement results on menu window MOO You should see an R in the low right corner of the main screen M01 M05 This R indicates normal running Conditions Appendix Transducer Installation Guide A 1 Find the mounting site A Pipe must be full of liguids at the measurement site B No heavy corrosion of deposition inside of the pipe C Must be a safe location D The straight run of the pipe must not be shorter than 15D as a general guideline where D isthe pipe diameter Insufficient straight pipe length will degrade the accuracy of the results E The transducer mounting site should be 10D straight run upstream and 5D straight run downstream see the following drawing F If there are flow disturbing parts such as pumps valves etc on
