NOTICE
Notice
The meter must be installed in compliance with the requirements of ISO 4064 and the EC Type Examination
Certificate. Medium: Water without additives.
REFERENCE
Reference
Detailed instructions can be found in the enclosed "Installation guide", which are enclosed with every pack-
age of the product.
4. 1. Installation the RUBIN® SONICSmart
1. Thoroughly flush out the pipes before installing the meter.
2. The meter has to be installed so that the direction of the arrow on the meter housing corresponds to the direction of flow.
1-320-UM-EN-03 5/13

3. The installation of the meter should not be done with force or strain, make sure that the meter is aligned.
4. Remove old seals and clean sealing faces.
5. Site-provided seals must be suitable for the purpose and comply with the local guidelines and directives.
Only fit the new seals (the seals should not intrude into the pipeline).
6. Thinly grease sealing faces (use acid-free, potable-water approved grease).
7. Put the screws and nuts in their places.
8. Tighten in a crosswise fashion (order image below) to a minimum torque of 30 Nm, maximum torque 50 Nm.
9. Slowly fill the pipeline with water on completion of the installation. Avoid the collection of air bubbles in the meter during
the installation process.
10. Check that the screen turns ON after 30 sec to 1 minute (depending on the amount of ain in the network).
CAUTION
Caution
When the connector output is used (Pulse acquisition, M-Bus connection), the following requirements apply:
lThe cable must be unroll.
lThe maximal cable length is 25m. INTEGRA Metering provides adapted cables with various length.

4. 2. Check the correct installation of RUBIN® SONIC Smart
4. 2. 1. Environment
The RUBIN® SONIC Smart must not exceed extreme conditions: max 70°C / 158°F (no more than 2 weeks at 35°C / 95°F);
min -20°C / -4°F (2 weeks below 0°C / 32°F).
4. 2. 2. Installation
lWater temperature: max 55°C / 131°F; min +0.1°C / +32°F.
lThe pressure should not exceed 16 bar.
lRefer to the arrow on the side of the meter for the correct installation location (water must flow in the direction of the
arrow).
4. 3. Maintenance and cleaning
CAUTION
Caution
Do not clean it with solvents or abrasives as these may damage the plastic cover. If necessary, use a damp
cloth or sponge.

5. Understanding the interface RUBIN® SONIC Smart
5. 1. Understand the face plate
5. 2. Screen display information
5. 2. 1. Display sequence
To show the data read by the meter in the display, various windows have been created as functions that can display the assigned
system information.
The LCD screen changes automatically to display the following information: net or forward volume, reverse volume, flow rate,
events, firmware version, flow direction, meter state.
The basic display sequence is defined in two cycles, one main cycle and a secondary which launches after 120 seconds.
The basic display sequence: The second sequence of the display every 120s:
LCD screen Description Display time
