Keypad Functions
The InnovaSonic 210i keypad offers 12 dual-function keys for operation of the menu system plus six quick-setup keys. For quick setup
of your InnovaSonic, simply press any of the keys across the top to get the desired menu parameter instantly.
Follow these guidelines when using the InnovaSonic 210i menu system:
 Keys to and are the menu codes to input
information required for flow measurement.
 Use to delete characters to the left.
 Use and to return to the last menu or open the next menu.
These keys acts as "+" and "-" when used to enter numbers.
 is used to select a menu using two digit numbers from the menu. To
enter a selected menu, press key first then press your selected digit
numbers. Hit enter to save the selected menu. For example, to input a pipe
outside diameter, press keys, where “11” is the
window ID to display the parameter for pipe outside diameter.
 After all data is selected use to confirm your choices.
 Use to enter / exit the SD card storage
interface.
 , , , , , are
shortcuts to the windows for Flow Rate, Velocity,
Signal Quality, POS Totalizer, Graph, and Diagnosis.
Installation Steps
1. Plug in the transducers (See Figure 2). Open the hinged top
cover of the electronics. Figure 2 shows the downstream
transducer connector, upstream transducer connector, the
battery recharge port (charge the transmitter or connect to a
standby power supply), and the 4-20mA output connector.

2. Select the mounting method depending on the pipe diameter.
V Method: Pipes 50mm to 400mm (2 inches to 16 inches); signal bounces off pipe wall
Z Method Pipes: 400mm to 1200mm (16 inches to 48 inches); signal is directly transmitted
3. Turn on the meter.
4. Enter the pipe setup parameters.
Note:
a) The distance (spacing) between the upstream and downstream transducers is calculated using the pipe
parameters you enter.
b) Metrics or English units are selected in Menu 30.
Example: Let us assume you have a 168 mm (6.61 inches) outside diameter pipe measuring water. The material is carbon
steel with no liner. These parameters should be entered as follows:
Step 1. Pipe Outside Diameter
Press or , to enter the pipe outside diameter,
and then press the key.
Note 12:01:00 is the time, Q is the Quality, and R is a diagnostics code.
Don’t worry about these for now.

Step 2. Pipe Wall Thickness
Press or then to enter the pipe wall
thickness (wall thickness for various pipe schedules can be found in the
210i Instruction Manual, Appendix 1).
Step 3. Pipe Material
Press or then . Use the or
keys to select pipe material from the drop-down menu, and then
press the key.
Step 4. Fluid Type
Press or then . Use the or
keys to select fluid type from the drop-down menu, and then
press the key.
Step 5. Transducer Mounting Methods
Press or then . Use the or
keys to select transducer-mounting method from the drop-
down menu, and then press the key. See 210 Instruction
Manual, Chapter 4 of instruction manual for details.
Step 6. Transducer Spacing
Press the keys to enter Menu 25. Accurately install the transducer according to the displayed
transducer mounting spacing and the selected mounting method. Note: The spacing should be face to face. (See 210
Instruction Manual, Chapter 4 for details.)

5. The transducer mounting racks have a convenient scale. Slide the transducers in the rack to the correct spacing. Put the
transducers on the pipe with an ample amount of coupling compound. If the pipe is magnetic, the racks will stick to the pipe.
If the pipe is non-magnetic use supplied pipe straps. The pipe must be 100% full of fluid before proceeding.
6. Press the button. It will show the signal strength, quality and state. A “System
Normal” state indicates good strength of >60 and good quality >50.
7. Press , this display the TOM/TOS. This is the ratio of the measured
transit-time and calculated transit time. An acceptable ratio is 100±3%. If this is out
of range, check the spacing, pipe parameters, and fluid sound velocity. Flow
measurements will not be accurate unless this is in range.
8. If the diagnostics and TOM/TOS are good, press the button or
to look at the flow and totalizer.
NOTE: The information presented is for a quick start-up for the InnovaSonic 210i. Other parameters are referenced in the 210
Instruction Manual.
