1 Introduction
This manual provides instructions for replacing the system on module (SoM) using the
SoM Upgrade Kit, located on the Ultrasonic Meter Control Board (UMCB) of the
following meters:
lUltra Series C Liquid Ultrasonic Flowmeter
lMPU Series C Ultrasonic Gas Flowmeter
This procedure assumes the appropriate Ethernet or fiber-optic communications
cabling are accessible in a safe area for connection between a PC and the sealed
UMCB enclosure that is mounted in the hazardous area.
1.1 Weights and Measures Requirements
TechnipFMC's Ultra and MPU series of ultrasonic meters are used in a global market.
Requirements regarding weights and measures may vary depending on the region of
installation and type of installation. In the majority of cases in which the meter is
controlled by a weights and measures certificate, the software version is defined and
controlled.
In the case of a controlled measurement application, users are required to verify that
the TechnipFMC Ultrasonic meter is configured and operated in a manner consistent
with the controlling certificate and local codes, and that proper notification (permit for
use) or registration has been filed with the local authority or jurisdiction. This
requirement also pertains to software updates of the meter.
Weights and measures authorities rely on either physical sealing or electronic sealing
with password protection to secure metrological parameters for use in legal trade
applications. For instructions on setting a passwords for metrological parameters and
information about physically sealing the electronic enclosure and specific meter
components, refer to the Ultra Series C Liquid Ultrasonic Flowmeters Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual (MNLS005) or MPU Series C Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual (MNKS025).

environment or hazardous location. This manual only provides information pertaining
to the installation of the SoM replacement.
To maintain equipment safety, it is required to keep the front cover of the enclosure
bolted tightly while power is applied when operating in a hazardous location. The
closing and sealing of the enclosure is the key to maintaining explosion protection. It is
imperative that servicing be performed by a qualified individual who is familiar with
associated risks involved with the operation and maintenance of electrical equipment
in hazardous (classified) locations. This individual must have knowledge of local and
national electrical codes, in addition to ordinances concerned with hazardous location

safety requirements. It is recommended (and may be required in some jurisdictions)
that the final installation be verified and inspected by the authority having jurisdiction
before placing the equipment back into service. Electrical installations in hazardous
areas have features specifically designed to make them suitable for use in such
locations and it is the operator’s responsibility to maintain the integrity of those special
features.
Warning: The electronics inside the explosion-proof enclosure are not suitable for
exposure in a hazardous area while power is applied. Proper precautions must be
taken before opening the enclosure when the meter and its electronics are
installed in a hazardous area. The area must be verified that hazardous gases or
vapors are not present, and all power to the equipment has been removed.
1.5.2 Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
The UMCB printed circuit board assembly is susceptible to damage by static
discharge. To minimize the risk of damage, the following precautions should be
followed:
lBefore touching a circuit board with hands or tools, personnel and tools should be
grounded using a wrist strap.
lAvoid touching components or traces on the circuit boards and handle by the
edges or mounting holes.
lCircuit boards should be kept in static control packaging, such as static shielding
bags, when not installed.
