1 Preparation
1.1 BOA-Control
1. Remove the protective nubs from the measuring cams.
2. Apply coupling grease to the measuring cams. Make sure to apply a sufficient
quantity of grease to prevent air pockets from forming when positioning the
sensor. Mineral oil-based greases without fillers, such as KlüberlubPHB71-461
or AddinolLM2EP, can be used as coupling grease.
3. Couple the ultrasonic sensors to the measuring cams, ensuring that the sensor
with the red marking is affixed "downstream" of the black sensor (on the right
in the direction of flow).
4. After the measurement has been taken, clean the measuring cams and re-affix
the protective nubs or leave the grease on the measuring cams for corrosion
protection.
NOTE
If the difference in temperature between the fluid and the environment is >20K,
insulate the valves to ensure optimum accuracy.
NOTE
When installing the BOATRONICMS-420 measuring computer, the connectors for
the sensor cable and the BOATRONICMS-420 must be firmly screwed together.
NOTE
For greater ease of handling, magnets are fitted in the transducers of the sensor
system. Direct contact with storage media or other electrical devices sensitive to
magnetic fields should be avoided.
1.2 BOA-Control IMS
The sensors for the BOA-ControlIMS valve are permanently bonded to the measuring
cams. BOATRONICMS and BOATRONICMS-420 measuring computers can be
connected.
1.3 BOATRONIC MS/MS-420
NOTE
For optimum measurement results with the highest possible degree of accuracy the
operating software must be up to date. To this end, KSB regularly provides the
latest software for updating the BOATRONICMS/MS-420 operating software at the
following link: http://shop.ksb.com/catalog/de/de/product/ES000464

2 Zero Point Calibration

BOATRONICMS/ BOATRONICMS-420
2 Zero Point Calibration
Manual zero point calibration is recommended for a more accurate measurement.1)
The valve must be closed for this purpose. The measuring computer can only calibrate
when the fluid is stationary. The nominal size and the fluid including concentration
must be entered.
NOTE
Only close the valve when the measuring computer specifically prompts you to do
so.

1. Select the "Setup" menu item with the keys in the main menu
and confirm with the
OK
key.

1. In the "Zero Point Calibration" selection menu, select "Start" with the
keys and confirm with the
OK
key.
2. In the following selection menus enter the nominal size DN, the fluid
and the concentration with the keys and confirm each with the
OK
key.
3. Follow the prompt on the display: Close the valve and confirm with the
OK
key.
4. To start the zero point calibration, choose "Run" in the "Zero Point
Calibration" selection menu and confirm with the
OK
key.
ðThe calibration starts.
ðWhen the calibration successfully concludes, the display reads
"Initialisation Successful" and the measuring computer goes back to
the main menu.
ðThe measurement procedure can now be started.
CAUTION
Zero point calibration still active
Incorrect measured values or no measurement possible!
▷Manual zero point calibration always applies exclusively to the valve it has been
performed on. For a different valve a new calibration is required. For safety
reasons the current calibration is always deleted if one of the measurement
parameters (DN, fluid, concentration) has been changed, if no sensor is
connected (F01), if the error message "No signal" has been displayed for more
than 20seconds (F02) or if a loss of voltage has occurred (BOATRONICMS only).
The error message F09 indicates that the calibration is not valid.
▷On BOATRONICMS-420 the manual zero point calibration is not deleted in the
case of loss of voltage (device switched off, power cut, etc). Once the voltage
returns, BOATRONICMS-420 re-starts in measuring mode with the manual zero
point calibration saved.
1) This procedure may take up to one minute.

3 Taking Measurements

3 Taking Measurements
üPower supply must be provided. For BOATRONICMS, insert four AAMignon
batteries (1.5 V); for BOATRONICMS-420, apply 24VDC.
üThe connection between the measuring computer and the ultrasonic transducer
must be established.
1. Briefly press the key.

3. Select the fluid with the keys in the "Select Fluid" menu and confirm
with the

ðIf the fluid is not known, "Unnamed liquid" can be selected. Lower
measurement accuracy is the consequence.
ðThe "Set concentration" step is not required for the "Unnamed liquid" or
"Water" selections.
4. Select the concentration with the keys in the "Concentration" selection
menu and confirm with the
OK
key.
ðThe specification in percent defines the percentage of the fluid selected in
water (e.g. 25% GlykosolN in the available water-glycol mixture).
5. Automatic zero point calibration starts automatically after the concentration
has been confirmed with the
OK
key. The display then shows "Calibration" and
a percentage as well as the loading symbol.
ðFollowing successful calibration (100%), the measurement starts automatically.
Unless configured otherwise, volume flow rateQ and temperatureT are
displayed in standard units Q=[m3/h] and T=[°C].
