1          INTRODUCTION

1.1        General Description
This manual describes the installation and use of the UFM2 flow meter and UBT energy meter:
•      UFM2 is an ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter for measuring flow rate and total flow with a volume
       pulse output and optional Modbus or 4-20 mA flow proportional output. It can be used as a
       standalone meter or as part of an integral management system.
•      UBT is an ultrasonic clamp-on thermal, heat/energy meter. It uses ultrasound to measure flow
       rate and is also equipped with PT100 temperature sensors to measure flow and return
       temperatures. The energy meter displays energy rate and totalised energy with pulse output
       and communication options, so it can be used as a standalone meter or as an integral part of
       Automatic Monitoring & Targeting (aM&T) or a Building Energy Management System (BEMS).
The electronics and sensor housings form an integral unit which attaches to the pipe using the
supplied hose clips. Power to the unit is provided by an external 12-24 VDC / 24 VAC power supply
(7 W / 7 VA minimum). The unit operates on steel, stainless steel, copper and plastic pipes with
internal diameter in the range 0.8” (20 mm) to 6.5” (165 mm) depending on the product purchased.
The models can also be supplied with Modbus digital communication options.
Typical applications:
    UFM2                                             UBT
    Hot water metering and flow measurement          Hot water metering and flow measurement
    Flow measurement for heat metering               Flow measurement for Energy Metering
    Chilled water metering and flow measurement      Chilled water metering and flow measurement
    Potable water metering and flow measurement
    Process water metering and flow measurement
    Ultra-pure water metering and flow
    measurement.


           NOTE:

The UBT default configuration is:
•      Instrument Type: Heating
•      Installation Side:   Return
•      Fluid:               Water
Return refers to the location of the flow measurement relative to flow circuit.

1.2      How Does It Work?
The UFM2 and UBT meters use a cross correlation transit time algorithm to provide accurate flow
measurements.
An ultrasonic beam of a given frequency is generated by applying a repetitive voltage pulse to the
transducer crystals.…
