Quick Start Guide
Welcome to SoundWater Orcas SPTM.
This guide shows you how to download the mobile application and helps
you set it up and pair it with the Orcas SP Sensor to start taking readings.
Let’s get started.
Begin by wiring power—use the wire color codes shown below (for your supplied connecting cable).
After your owmeter is powered, download the SoundWater Orcas app to your iPhoneTM or other
bluetooth enabled mobile device from the App StoreTM or Google PlayTM.
Launching the app lands you
on the locations screen. Begin
by tapping on the add location
(+) button.
The app always begins with
this screen at launch making
it easy to access previously
saved location settings.
Add your location.
Drill-down through the param-
eter selections and choose from
the pre-loaded pipe types, pipe
dimensions and uid databases.
Don’t see the right option? Add
your custom values!
Give your location a name, then
save. Each location’s settings
can be stored in the Orcas app,
ready for reuse.
Set-up your location.
Pipe and liquid parameter selection and input screens:
Units
Toggle between
metric and
Imperial units of
measure.
Select Flow Rate,
Volume and
Velocity from
our pre-loaded
parameter values
or add custom
values.
Display
Drag and drop
the outputs that
you rely on most
to display on the
main screen.
Pipe & Liner
Select Pipe Type
and Wall Clas-
sications from
our pre-loaded
values or add
custom values.
Liquid
Select Liquid Type
from our pre-loaded
parameter values or

your best guess will
help the owmeter
calculate transducer
spacing.

Parameters all set! Now you have
your transducer spacing.
With your location parameters dened you are now getting
the transducer spacing from the app. Use this value to set
the position of transducers on the Orcas SP Sensor.
Transducer spacing
Indicates the
strength of the mea-
surement ultrasound
signal in the uid.
Tap to access data-
logging features.
Displays that the app
is connected to a
owmeter as well as
the meter name.
Adjust the
rulers on the
device using the
apps transducer
spacing.
Your ow informa-
tion will display
once the transducer
rulers have been
properly set on
the device.
Preparing and mounting the sensor.
Now the conveneint all in one design allows you
to mount the sensor on the pipe in just one or
two minutes. Bi-directional readings are transmit-
ted wirelessly to your mobile device for display.
Take your readings.
Refer back to the
Orcas App for ow
readings.
Or, wire the pulse
or 4-20 mA output
to any PLC/SCADA
system to record
ow.
Begin by gently rotat-
ing and retracting
the silver knobs until
they stop.
Cover the entire bottom
face of each transducer
with the coupling gel.
Rest the transducer on the pipe
—it self aligns!

Now thread the provided stainless straps
through the access ports located on either side
of the sensor. Wrap the straps around the pipe
and secure with a socket or at head driver.
Rotate the silver knobs clockwise
to press the transducers rmly
against the pipe.
