Measuring Preparations
Prerequisites for Balancing with TA-SCOPE
TA-SCOPE is one of the components in the powerful IMI TA methodology for balancing of hydronic systems.
The ultimate goal of every heating and cooling installation is to provide the desired indoor climate at the lowest
possible energy cost. This requires a fully controllable hydronic system. Achieving full hydronic control depends on
meeting three key conditions:
• Design flow must be available at all terminals.
• Differential pressure (∆p) across control valves must not vary too much.
• Flows must be compatible at system interfaces.
The best way to attain these conditions is to perform a balancing procedure using TA-SCOPE. Balancing ensures
that the plant actually performs as specified by the designer and operates the way the designer intended.
Switch on/off the units
The Handheld and Dp Sensor units are switched on and off individually.
The Handheld Information bar displays details on intensity of wireless signal and battery status for the connected
units.
Handheld
Press on the keypad during 1 second to switch on/off.
Dp Sensor
Press during 1 second to switch on/off.
Sleep Mode
Once the screen has dimmed and been set to sleep mode the Handheld unit is still active, touch any key to return
directly to the last screen used.
If a unit is switched off whilst in sleep mode and then started again the start position is the main menu and
previous actions are interrupted.
If a Dp Sensor is actively performing a logging function, it will automatically go into sleep mode after 15 minutes.
The logging process will then continue whilst in sleep mode.
If a Dp Sensor is not actively performing a logging function, the unit will automatically switch off if it does not
detect its paired handheld within 30 minutes.
Adjustments of display settings and sleep mode are performed in the Settings menu, see page 37.
Wireless Communication
On delivery TA-SCOPE is prepared for wireless communication.
No adjustments of settings or other actions are required.
If required the Handheld and Dp Sensor units can be connected via cable.
Wireless communication uses radio frequency and is therefore not
allowed in areas where other vital electronic devices can be disturbed,
i.e., near medical equipment and implanted cardiac pacemakers, in health
care facilities, aircrafts, blasting areas, areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres and other areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.
Cut the wireless connection from the Settings menu. is displayed on the
antenna icon in the Information bar and the antenna led of the Dp Sensor
stops flashing.
When reactivating the wireless function the units should initially be
connected with the cable to establish radio communication. If wireless
communication stops due to the units being out of radio range, they will
automatically reconnect when back within radio range as long as the
Wireless Signal option is set to On.
Measuring Preparations

TA-SCOPE

Connect Alternative Dp Sensor
Any Handheld and Dp Sensor can become a wireless pair. This may be particularly useful in companies with
several TA-SCOPE instruments. Establish communication between your Handheld unit and the Dp Sensor you
currently wish to work with.
1 Connect the units with the cable and check that wireless option in Settings menu is set to On.
2 Wait until the wireless icon is displayed on the Information bar.
3 Disconnect the cable and wireless communication is established.
Connect / Disconnect Measuring Equipment
The measuring equipment is colour coded to ensure valid data is collected, red indicates high pressure and blue
indicates low pressure.
First – connect the Safety Pressure Probes (SPP) to the measuring hoses which shall be connected to the Dp
Sensor, pay attention to the colour indications.
Second – connect the Safety Pressure Probes to the measuring points on the valve,
which are also colour coded.
Make sure the safety catches lock behind the thread on the measuring point.
When disconnecting, press the safety catches at the Safety Pressure Probe and pull to
release.
Each hydronic function in TA-SCOPE requires a specific set-up of
measuring hoses and temperature sensors.
On screen diagrams will be displayed on the Handheld for guidance.
The Dp Sensor can either be hanged by the hoses or by the accessory
(15) chain in the pipes.
Tips! Wireless range Handheld – Dp Sensor. Range in open space – approximately 70 meters.
Range inside a building – approx. 20-30 meters.
!
Measuring Preparations
Note! When using the combined Safety Pressure and Temperature Probe (SPTP), do not forget
to connect the data cable to one of the two temperature probe connections on the Dp Sensor.
Warning! Beware of hot fluid in the valve. Always follow the sequence described here when
connecting and disconnecting the measuring equipment.
!
Warning! The surface on the Dp Sensor can be hot
while measuring on hot media. Always use suitable safety
equipment.
!

Calibration of Dp Sensor
To achieve correct measuring values calibration of the Dp Sensor is always required prior to measurements of
flow and differential pressure (∆p).
Air pockets might be left in the hoses and these are vented through calibration to maintain optimal accuracy.
TA-SCOPE automatically performs calibration when needed.
Handwheel
Each IMI TA balancing valve has a handwheel for determining valve
opening. The digital read out displays the number of turns.
Below the valve to the left is completely shut and displays 0.0 and
the valve to the right is open by 2.3 turns.

Hydronic Functions
Overview of Hydronic Functions
TA-SCOPE enables various alternatives for exploring and diagnosing hydronic systems. On screen diagrams will
guide you through the physical set up of the measurement equipment as required for the hydronic function you
would like to perform.
The hydronic functions then enable the system data to be used effortlessly in many flexible and useful ways.
The main hydronic functions of TA-SCOPE, where system data can be collected and applied, are as follows:
Quick Measure – Straightforward function to measure flow, differential pressure (∆p), temperature and
power. To be used when only one or a few valves are of interest. The function does not require any
predefinition of network or module.
Hydronic Networks – Complex networks created in HySelect are easily downloaded to TA-SCOPE.
Use a network for measuring and balancing at any time; during commission, for control and inspection.
All hydronic functions can be applied to a selected valve from a Hydronic Network.
Balancing – The powerful TA-Wireless and TA-Diagnostic methods for balancing hydronic systems.
TA-Wireless makes use of two Dp Sensors with wireless technology to easily perform balancing of a
hydronic module. With TA-Diagnostic, you measure all valves in a module. The method calculates a Dp
diagnostic for the module and correct valve openings to attain design flows.
Troubleshooting – Software wizards take you step-by-step through the process of locating and
diagnosing problems and errors in hydronic systems, e.g., Dp (∆p) analysis.
Data Logging – Measurement during a predetermined period of time to analyse any fluctuations in flow,
differential pressure (∆p), temperature and power. The logged data is stored and listed or displayed as a
graph, both in TA-SCOPE and HySelect.
