Quick Start Guide
1. Before you begin
2. Unpack
Make sure the transmitter is installed by qualied personnel and in accordance with the
applicable code of practice.
Disconnect the power before servicing, to prevent ignition of ammable or combustible
atmospheres.
Turn o the main power source to the Tek-Clamp 1200A -100H band ensure lines to any other
external power sources are disconnected, or not powered while wiring the ow meter.
Make sure only qualied personnel perform the installation.
Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless qualied.

4. Mountings
The transducers of the Tek-Clamp 1200A-100H Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter mounted by V method.
The V method is a standard installation method and convenient to use for precise measurement of ow. While
installing the two transducers, they are horizontally aligned. The transducers center lines are parallel with the
pipe axis line. They are suitable for pipe diameter range ½” to 16”(DN 15mm to DN 400mm).
The wider the pipe diameter, due to suspended particles, scaling thickens resulting in to weaker signal
transmission in the V type mounting installation pulse without any reaction required, which is required in V
method and therefore has less signal thinning.

7.Conguration
7. Installation of the Transducers
The Tek-Clamp 1200A-100H can be con¬gured with the help of a 16 key keyboard monitor. Below, some of
the keyboard uses are outlined:
• ‘0-9’ and‘. ’ are used to input numerical values and menu numbers receptively.
• ‘ ’ key is used to left backspace or delete left characters.
• ‘< /+>’ and‘< /- >’ are used to shift to the Upper and Lower menu. When inputting the digits, these are
equal to the “+” or “-” keys.
• The ‘Menu’key brings up the main menu.
• The ‘Enter’ key is mainly used to ensure the digit and chosen content has been input the other function is
to press it to enter and modify the status before setting parameters.
To ensure measurement accuracy and stability, the installation point of transducers should be on the
straight pipe full of well-distributed uid (when installing, the pipe must be full of liquid), and should follow
the points below:
• The pipe must be full of uniform liquid that is easy for the ultrasonic pulse to travel through (vertical pipe
or horizontal pipe).
• Avoid installing the transducer at the highest point of the pipe system or on the vertical pipe with free
exit (down ow).

The top of pipe system
• For an open pipe or half full pipe, transducers should be installed at the bottom of the U pipe.
• The temperature and pressure on the installation point should be within the workability of the transducers.
• Please ensure the pipe’s inner wall and check for pollution build-up. Select a pipe without any or very
compact build-up of sediment because it may interfere with the signal.
• In cases of horizontal piping, mount the detector within ±45° of the horizontal plane. Otherwise, the
measurement may be impossible if bubbles stay in the upper part of piping or if deposits are accumulate
in the lower part of piping. In cases of vertical piping, the detector may be mounted at any position on it
periphery provided that the ow is upward.
