2.2 General device description
The ALTOSONIC 5 flowmeter consists of a flow sensor and a signal converter.
2.2.1 Flow sensor
A series of ultrasonic transducers are installed in the measuring tube of the flow sensor. Each
pair of intrinsically safe ultrasonic transducers forms an acoustic measurement path. The
acoustic measurement path consists of one (direct) chord.
The chords in the horizontal plane are used for flow measurement, the chord in the vertical
plane is used for diagnostics only.
The transducers are electrically connected to the connection box on top of the flow sensor with
coaxial cables.
Acoustic signals are transmitted and received by means of ultrasonic transducers. The active
part of an ultrasonic transducer is a small disk of piezo electric ceramic in the front of the
transducer. It is packaged (sealed) in a construction of metal parts and installed behind a metal
acoustic window. The transducer itself is not exposed to the measured liquid. The window is
designed to achieve the best efficiency for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signal through
the liquid.
When servicing the transducers, no special retraction tool is used.
For the ALTOSONIC 5 Generation 1 flow sensor only the inner parts of the transducers need to be
replaced, therefor the complete transducer housing can stay pressurised. Normal toolbox pliers
to release inner parts for removal are used. However, to install a new transducer inner part a
special install tool is recommended and a specific service procedure should be followed. Note
that the meter should not be extremely cold or hot during such a replacement of inner parts.
For the ALTOSONIC 5 Generation 2 flow sensors the complete transducer can simply be
removed using Allen hex keys, but the pipe must be empty and depressurised. This should be
done by KROHNE personnel only.

2.2.3 Cable glands and cables
The flow sensor and signal converter are installed mostly in a hazardous area. To achieve
compliance with the certifications, it is mandatory that the flow sensor and the signal converter
are installed with the supplied cables, cable glands and blanking elements. If other cable glands
or blanking elements are used, then they must be similar with the removed ones. This means
that the cable glands and the blanking elements must be explosion proof (Ex d) approved with Ex
approval certificates and suitable for braided and armed cable.
2.2.4 Monitoring, Configuration and Diagnostic tool
The KROHNE flowmeter Monitoring, Configuration and Diagnostics Tool (MCD) is a software
package to support the application of the ALTOSONIC 5 flowmeters. It is designed for a PC with a
Windows operating system and can be downloaded from www.krohne.com.
Individual parameters are classified according to “roles” in order to define differentiated access
rights. Each “role” is associated with a “typical” user or operator having specific responsibilities
and/or duties. Users must be registered with a username and a password, when registered the
role of the user is also defined, and by consequence also the access rights of that user.
The following roles have been defined, listed in according to the rank in the hierarchy.
Roles and authorisation
Above mentioned roles can be authorised to multiple users with specific usernames and
passwords. Each specific user can be recognized and his actions are better recognized in the
internal loggings of the UFC5.
In addition to restrictions depending of the defined role of a user, a physical “overwrite disable”
contact with dipswitches protects the configuration parameters, please refer to
Digital
Processor Board (DPB) connections
on page 56. This disables any user from making
modifications to parameters that would influence the measured flow or volume value. This
prevents unintentional or unauthorised changes to the parameters and possibly invalidation of
the calibration.
LEGAL NOTICE!
The parameters are stored in a configuration file. Configuration parameters are password
protected in order to prevent unauthorised modification. Access in order to read, view and
inspect parameter values is restricted by the type of user.
Operator restricted to personnel acting on behalf of the owner/ operator of the meter (for day
to day operation), to the discretion of the owner/operator of the meter.
Supervisor restricted to personnel acting on behalf of the owner/operator of the meter
(administrator function), to the discretion of the owner/operator of the meter.
Service restricted to authorised service personnel, to the discretion of KROHNE.
Service2 restricted to authorised service personnel, to the discretion of KROHNE with time
based password access. The time based password can be requested from KROHNE.
Calibrator restricted to personnel acting on behalf of a legal calibration station.
Factory restricted to KROHNE factory employees, to implement factory settings in the
meter.

Normally the flowmeter is delivered as a calibrated instrument. Therefore the configuration
parameters are meter specific and cannot be changed. Other parameters such as IO parameters
on frequency outputs and communication are application specific and can be changed if needed.
Any change in configuration is logged with time/date/user/previous value. This information can
be retrieved afterwards for auditing and verification purposes.
