4. Istruzioni per l'installazione
4.1 Disimballaggio e ispezione iniziale
- Carefully remove all components from the aluminum carrying case.
- Inspect each item for any signs of damage during transit. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
- Familiarize yourself with the main unit, transducers, cables, and accessories.
4.2 Installazione del trasduttore
The TL-1 transducers are designed for clamp-on installation. Proper installation is crucial for accurate measurements.
- Select Measurement Point: Choose a straight section of pipe, free from valves, pumps, or other flow disturbances. Ensure the pipe surface is clean and smooth.
- Applicare l'agente di accoppiamento: Apply a generous amount of silica gel (or a suitable ultrasonic coupling agent) to the contact surface of both transducers and the pipe surface where they will be mounted. Nota: Coupling agent is essential for signal transmission. Without it, the device will not register a signal.
- Mount Transducers: Use the provided metal clamp fixture to securely mount the TL-1 transducers onto the pipe. Ensure they are positioned correctly according to the flow direction and the specified distance for your pipe diameter. Refer to the detailed user manual for specific spacing and mounting configurations (Z-method or V-method).
- Secure Transducers: Stringere la clamp fixture to ensure firm contact between the transducers and the pipe, expelling any air bubbles from the coupling agent layer.

4.3 Cavi di collegamento
- Connect the signal cables to the TL-1 transducers. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect the other end of the signal cables to the corresponding input ports on the main host unit. The ports are typically color-coded (e.g., red and blue) to match the transducer cables.
- If using external power, connect the power adaptor to the main unit and then to a suitable power outlet.
- For data transfer, connect the RS232 data line to the main unit's serial port and to your computer.


5. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1 Powering On and Basic Measurement
- Press the 'ON' button on the main unit to power it on. The LCD will display startup information and then the main measurement interface.
- Ensure the transducers are correctly installed and coupling agent is applied.
- The display will show real-time flow data, including instantaneous flow rate (Flow), velocity (Vel), and accumulated flow (POS).
5.2 Navigazione nel menu e impostazioni dei parametri
- Use the 'MENU' button to access the main menu.
- Navigate through menu options using the arrow keys (up/down).
- Press 'ENTER' to select an option or confirm a setting.
- Key Parameters to Set:
- Diametro del tubo: Input the exact outer diameter of the pipe.
- Materiale del tubo: Select the material of the pipe from the predefined list.
- Materiale del rivestimento: If the pipe has a liner, select its material.
- Tipo liquido: Choose the type of liquid being measured.
- Tipo di trasduttore: Confirm TL-1 is selected.
- Transducer Spacing: Adjust the spacing based on the calculated value provided by the meter or manual calculation.
- After setting parameters, exit the menu to return to the measurement screen.
5.3 Data Logging and Transfer
The flow meter supports data logging and transfer to a computer.
- Access the data logging menu to configure logging intervals and start/stop logging.
- To transfer data, connect the RS232 data line to a computer and use the provided software (or compatible terminal software) to download logged data.
6. Manutenzione
6.1 Pulizia
- Wipe the main unit and transducers with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the display or casing.
- Ensure no moisture enters the device's ports.
6.2 Conservazione
- When not in use, store the flow meter kit in its aluminum carrying case to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Conservare in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e dalle temperature estreme.
6.3 Coupling Agent
- The coupling agent (silica gel) is crucial for proper operation. Ensure you have an adequate supply.
- Replace the coupling agent if it dries out or loses its effectiveness during prolonged measurements.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| No signal or unstable readings | Lack of coupling agent (silica gel) Improper transducer installation Air bubbles between transducer and pipe Incorrect parameter settings | Apply sufficient silica gel to transducers and pipe. Re-position transducers according to manual. Ensure firm contact to remove air bubbles. Verify pipe diameter, material, and liquid type settings. |
| Il display non si accende | Batteria scarica Cavo di alimentazione non collegato correttamente Guasto del dispositivo | Charge the device or connect to external power. Controllare i collegamenti del cavo di alimentazione. Se il problema persiste, contattare l'assistenza clienti. |
| Letture di flusso imprecise | Incorrect pipe parameters Turbulent flow conditions Transducer misalignment | Double-check all pipe and liquid parameters. Relocate transducers to a longer straight pipe section. Ensure transducers are perfectly aligned and spaced. |
