CONNECTIONS:
POWER INPUT: 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz. No adjustments are necessary for voltages within this
range. Connect L (Live) N (Neutral) and AC Ground.
Optional DC: 9-32 VDC. Connect to + and -terminals.
Optional Thermostat and Heater modules are available rated for 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: AC power input and relay connection wires must have conduit entry to the
instrument enclosure. Installation requires a switch, overcurrent fuse or circuitbreaker in the building (in
close proximity to the equipment) that is marked as the disconnect switch.
Risk of electric shock. Loosen cover screw to access connections. Only qualified personnel
should access connections.
Note: Use of instrumentation over 40°C ambient requires special field wiring.
Note: User replaceable fuse is 2 Amp 250V (T2AL250V).
FUNCTION TEST:
Connect the sensor to the TDCR terminals as shown below, then apply
power. Allow 30 seconds for the UF AV5000 to initialize.
A. Place QZ02L sensor (flat to the bottom) in a bucket of water
about 6” deep and select Level mode (from UNITS/MODE
menu) to see a level reading.
B. Select Velocity mode and stir the water to see a velocity
reading.

KEYPAD SYSTEM
The UF AV5000 uses a menu system. Arrows show the four directions to leave a menu box. Pressing a
corresponding keypad arrow will move to the next item in the direction shown. Move the cursor
(underline) under numerals and increase or decrease numerals with the ©and ªkeys.
To store calibration values permanently (even through power interruptions), press 9.

RUN
The main display shows the units selected from the Units/Modemenu, Flow
orVelocity rate being measured, TOTALIZER and RELAY states. The
UF
AV5000 will start-up with thisdisplay and will return to this screen after a timeout
if keys are not pressed in other menus.

STATUS
Press from the RUN display to view instrument status.
Velocity Will be displayed in ft/secorm/sec.
Level Is displayed in the selected units.
TotDisplays the current totalizer reading.
Signal Cutoff Adjust the setting in percent to suppress flow readings
at zero flow when fluid swirling or pipe vibration may
cause the instrument to continue reading. Example:
Signal Cutoffat 5% will force the display and outputs to
zero when signal strength drops below 5%.
Signal Strength Displays percentageof signal being received by
theultrasonic sensor.
EC Displays level measurement Echo Confidence
