1. Introduction
1.1 Preface
Welcome to use new generation transit-time ultrasonic flow meter, please read the user manual
carefully before using. The wall-mount ultrasonic flow meter is designed to be installed in a fixed
location for long-term flow measurement.

Powerful Recording Function, record the totalizer data of the last 64 days/64 monthes/5 years.
1.3 Flow measurement principle
The TUF-2000S ultrasonic flow meter is designed to measure the fluid velocity of liquid within a closed
conduit. The transducers are a non-contacting, clamp-on type, which will provide benefits of
non-fouling operation and easy installation.
The TUF-2000S transit-time flow meter utilizes two transducers that function as both ultrasonic
transmitters and receivers. The transducers are clamped on the outside of a closed pipe at a specific
distance from each other. The transducers can be mounted in V-method where the sound transverses
the pipe twice, or W-method where the sound transverses the pipe four times, or in Z-method where
the transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe and the sound crosses the pipe once. This
selection of the mounting method depends on pipe and liquid characteristics. The flow meter operates
by alternately transmitting and receiving a frequency modulated burst of sound energy between the two
transducers and measuring the transit time that it takes for sound to travel between the two transducers.
The difference in the transit time measured is directly and exactly related to the velocity of the liquid in
the pipe, show as follows:

2.3 Menu Windows
The user interface of this flow meter comprises about 100 different menu windows that are numbered
by M00, M01, M02 … M99.
There are 2 methods to enter certain menu window:
1. Direct going/entering. The user can press the MENU key followed by two-digit number keys. For
example, the menu window M11 is for the entering of pipe outer diameter. The display will go to the
M11 menu window after the user presses MENU 1 1 .
2. Pressing ▲/+ and ▼/- keys. Each time of the ▲/+ key pressing will proceed to the
lower-numbered menu window. For example, if the current window is on M12, the display will go to the
number M11 window after pressing the ▲/+ key.
There are three different types of menu windows:
1. Menu windows for number entering, like M11 for the entering of pipe outer diameter.
2. Menu windows for option selection/selecting options, like M14 for the selection of pipe materials.
3. Displaying windows only, like M00 to display Velocity, Flow Rate etc.
For number entering windows, the user can directly press the starting digit key when the user is going
to modify the value. For example, when the current window is on M11, and the user is going to enter
219.2345 as the pip e outer diameter, the user can get the numbers entered by pressing the following
serial keys: 2 1 9 . 2 3 4 5 ENT.
For the option selection windows, the user should first press the ENT key to a selection modification
mode and then select the relevant options by pressing the ▲/+ and ▼/- keys or the digit keys to select
the option with a number antecedent to the option. In the end, the ENT key must be pressed to make
the selection. For example, with menu window M14 for the selection of pipe material selection, (the
MENU 1 4 should be pressed first to enter this menu window if the current menu window is on a
different window. The pipe material is stainless steel which has a number “1” antecedent to “stainless
steel” on the display, the user should first press the ENT key to enter into a selection modification mode,
then either make the selection by pressing the ▲/+ and ▼/- keys to make the cursor on the line that
displays “1. Stainless Steel”, or make the selection by pressing the 1 key directly.
Generally, the ENT key must be pressed to enter a modification mode. If the “Locked M47 Open’
message is indicated on the lowest line of the LCD display, it means the modification operations is
locked out. In such cases, the user should go to M47 to have the instrument unlocked first before any

further modification can be made.
2.4 Steps to Configure the Parameters
The following parameters need to be configured for a proper measurement:
(1) Pipe outer diameter
(2) Pipe wall thickness
(3) Pipe materials (for non-standard pipe materials*, the sound speed for the material must be
configured too)
*Standard pipe materials and standard liquids refer to those with the sound parameters that have
already been programmed into software of the flow meter, therefore there is no need to configure
them
(4) Liner material and its sound speed and thickness, if there is any liner.
(5) Liquid type (for non-standard liquids, the sound speed of the liquid is also needed)
(6) Transducer type adapted to the flow meter. Generally the Standard M1 clamp-on transducers will
be the selected option.
(7) Transducer mounting methods (the V-method or Z-method is the common option)
(8) Check up the Space displayed on M25 and install the transducers accordingly.
(9) Store the parameter setup
For standard pipe materials and standard liquids, the following detailed step-by-step setup is
recommended.
(1) Press keys MENU 1 1 to enter M11 window to input the digits for the pipe outer diameter,
and then press ENT key.
(2) Press key ▼/- to enter M12 window to input the digits for the pipe outer diameter and then press
ENT key.
(3) Press key ▼/- to enter M14 window, and press ENT key to enter the option selection mode. Use
keys ▲/+ and ▼/- to scroll up and down to the intended pipe material, and then press ENT key.
(4) Press key ▼/- to enter M16 window, press ENT key to enter the option selection mode, use
keys ▲/+ and ▼/- to scroll up and down to the liner material, and then press ENT key. Select “No
Liner”, if there is no liner.
(5) Press key ▼/- to enter M18 window, press ENT key to enter the liner thickness and then press
ENT key (if there is liner)
(6) Press key ▼/- to enter M20 window, press ENT key to enter the option selection mode, use keys
▲/+ and ▼/- to scroll up and down to the proper liquid, and then press ENT key.
(7) Press key ▼/- to enter M23 window, press ENT key to enter the option selection mode, use keys
▲/+ and ▼/- to scroll up and down to the proper transducer type, and then press ENT key.
(8) Press key ▼/ - to enter M24 window, press ENT key to enter the option selection mode, use keys
▲/+ and ▼/- to scroll up and down to the proper transducer mounting method, and then press
ENT key.
(9) Press key ▼/- to enter M25 window and check up the installation space.
(10) Press MENU 2 6 to store the parameter setup (refer to M26)
(11) Press MENU 9 0 to check up signal strength and quality, the bigger of the value the better.
Generally the signal strength should be better than 60.0, and signal quality should be better than 50.0.

to check up time ratio, the ratio value should be in the range of 100 ± 3%
to check up the working status, “R” means work well
to check up the measuring data.
Note: 1. For heat measurement, please connect PT100 which installed in water supply and water back
pipe to T1, TX1, T2, TX2, GND terminal.
2. After setting parameter, remember to store parameter in MENU 26, to avoid parameter lose
after turn off.
2.5 Transducers Mounting Allocation
The first step in the installation process is the selection of an optimum location in order to obtain a more
accurate measurement. For this to be completed effectively, a basic knowledge about the piping and its
plumbing system would be advisable.
An optimum location would be defined as a straight pipe length full of liquid that is to be measured. The
piping can be in vertical or horizontal position. The following table shows
