3.3 Transducer
Figure 1: deltawaveC-F/P –measuring converter and mounted ultrasound transducer;
left: deltawaveC-F, right: deltawaveC-P
Your deltawaveC-F / P essentially consist of the ultrasonic transducers mounted on
your pipeline and the transmitter. The transmitter performs the signal processing and
provides the user with the measurement results. The ultrasonic transducers transform
the electrical energy into kinetic energy (acoustic wave). The ultrasonic transducer
can also receive acoustic waves and convert these into electrical energy. Anoverview
of the available converters can be found in the appendix.
The ultrasonic transducers will be mounted on the pipeline, theygenerate and receive
the ultrasonic signals, by means of which flow rate will calculated in the transmitter.
As a result of the measuring principle, each transmitter is equipped with a
pair of ultrasonic transducers (A & B). Make sure ultrasonic transducers
are aligned with the direction of flow. Pay attention with the deltawaveC-
F (screw terminals), the loop has to be at the correct position and correct
polarity:
( + ) = red cable (core)
( –) = black cable (shield)
UP-Transducer (upstream positioned transducer):
The ultrasound transducer, which the flow passes first, is connected at the UP-
contacts.
DOWN-Transducer (downstream positioned transducer):
The ultrasound transducer, which the flow passes second, is connected at the
DOWN-contacts.

3.4 Safety instructions
The operating temperature of the transmitter from -20°C to 60°Cmust
not be exceeded!
The ultrasonic sensors are sensitive to strong mechanical impacts
(irreparable damage possible)!
The transmitter and ultrasound transducers are generally not
approved for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres (request
documents for ATEX equipment).
The ultrasonic sensors must not exceed the specified operating
temperatures.
Protect the transmitter from impacts.
Avoid cable kinks on the sensor cables.
Make sure that the power supply is suitable.
The power supply unit of the deltawaveC-P is not protected against
moisture. Use it only in dry rooms.
Before connecting the deltawaveC-F to your power supply, make sure
that it is deactivated (e.g. fuse off).
3.5 Important instructions for the use of
deltawaveC-P
The plug-in power supply is only suitable for indoor use! In the case of mechanical or
electrical damage to the plug-in power supply unit or the 230V power supply cable,
these must be completely replaced!
DeltawaveC-P is equipped with a lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion 6000 mAh). This battery
power is sufficient for approximately 22 hours of network-independent operation.
If the deltawaveC-P is not used for a long time, recharge the battery at least
once every 3 ... 6 months.
The deltawaveC-P is equipped with a deep discharge protection. A pop-up
message informs you before the device switches off automatically.
To avoid unnecessary stress to the battery avoid connecting the
deltawaveC-P to a power supply if it is already charged completely. A
permanent connection to the power supply unit in the case of long-term
measurements is possible, however.
DeltawaveC-P is equipped with a quick-charge function. The function is
automatically activated after the deltawaveC-P is connected to the power
supply unit until a charge level of 80 % is reached.
This means that the unit can be operated again without connection to the
power supply within a very short time.

General information about the charge states:
The exclamation point in the battery indicator appears if the charge is too
low, or if deltawaveC-P is busy determining the current charge status.
Determining the charge level might take up to one minute.
If the exclamation mark persists, the battery actually has a capacity <10%.
If "x" appears in the battery symbol, this means that the battery is defective
or there is a fault in the charging circuit. If the symbol is also displayed
after a restart of the deltawaveC-P, please contact systec Controls.
4 Measuring principle
Measuring principle: Ultrasonic transit time difference method (Clamp-On)
For this purpose two ultrasonic transducers are mounted on the pipeline from outside
and connected to the evaluation electronics.
The ultrasonic transducers work alternately as transmitters and receivers and send
ultrasonic signals at each other. These signals are accelerated or decelerated by the
medium flow. The resulting difference in the two signal propagation times is
proportional to the flow rate and is used together with the pipeline geometry for the
precise calculation of the flow rate.
Signal evaluation by means of cross-correlation:
The signal processing operates on the basis of a cross-correlation-based method,
which enables signal detection even at a low signal-to-noise ratio. On the basis of the

high-quality signal evaluation, measurements with gas input or solid load of the
medium are also possible within certain limits.
Calculation of the flow velocity [m/s]:
Calculation of the volume flow:
Integrated Reynolds-compensation (kRe):
The transit time difference method provides to determine the mean flow velocity along
the measuring path. The mean flow velocity over the tube cross-section can be
determined by means of a compensation factor which is dependent on the Reynolds
number.
The Reynolds number is determined iteratively from the current flow rate, the pipe
diameter and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. For fluids of the device-internal
material database the data is provided.
The configuration of a user-defined medium is possible. For this purpose, the sound
velocity (can be practically determined by iterative approximation, see 14.2) and the
kinematic viscosity of the medium must be parameterized. The input of density and
heat capacity is additionally required for determining the heat quantity.
Re… Reynolds number,
v… flow velocity,
D… diameter,
ρ… density,
µ… dynamic viscosity,
υ… kinematic viscosity,
Integrated temperature compensation / Automatic Fluid Control (AFC):
Changes to the sound velocity of the liquid (temperature-dependent or when the
medium changes) cause changes of signal path angles and path length. These
deviations from the ideal path and the resulting measurement uncertainties are
compensated automatically by a correction factor (qp factor) determined by
deltawaveC-F / P without mechanical displacement of the transducers.
Standard:
The basis for the calculation is the VDI/VDE directive 2642: "ULTRASONIC FOW-
RATE MEASUREMENT OF FLUIDS IN PIPES UNDER CAPACITY FLOW
CONDITIONS" (12/1996)

4.1 2-channel device applications
The deltawaveC-F 2-channel transmitter enables the realization of exceptional
measurement requirements for special applications. These are briefly described
below.
Two measuring paths can be operated separately at two different measuring points.
In addition to the separate results of measuring points (CH1 or CH2), the sum, the
difference as well as the mean value of both measuring paths are provided
additionally (CH1 + CH2, CH1 - CH2, (CH1 + CH2) / 2).
The mean value calculation is intended in particular for the use of both measuring
paths at one measuring point. This utilization makes it possible to increase the
accuracy and to reduce the effects of cross currents.
The heat quantity determination is limited to the use of two measuring
paths at one measuring point (only one pair of Pt100 can be connected).
The calculation is performed only for (CH1 + CH2) / 2.
A separate calculation only for CH1 and/or CH2 is not provided.

5.3 Connection notes
To access the deltawaveC-F cable space, please detach the four screws and
remove the cover plate:
Figure 2: Remove cover from cable compartment
Please always make sure to put the correct voltage to your deltawaveC-
F. Improper supply voltage might seriously damage the flow transmitter.
You can check the type of power supply at the name plate, printed
on right side of enclosure of flow transmitter.
All in- and outputs (except relay) have defined potential on the
internal devices ground. For potential free operation of the in- and
outputs additional hardware is needed (with galvanic isolation). With
the normal in- and output it is not possible!
The analogue in- and outputs are active exworks 24V/DC (could
be set in passive mode by systec controls)
The maximum permitted load of the relay is 45V, 0,25A
