1. General
The Atrato range represents a new generation of through bore,time of flight ultrasonic
flowmeters that uses breakthrough technology to offer a wide ranging yet accurate meter. It is
ideal for many process control, instrumentation and laboratory applications. The user must
make sure that the flowmeter selected is suitable for the application and that the chemical
compatibility, temperature and pressure requirements are within the Atrato’s operating range.
Please check the model number before proceeding.
All meters can be programmed and monitored via the USB connection.

2. Installation
•The Atrato must be installed in a positive pressure system. Ensure that
there is sufficient back pressure on the flowmeter to keep any gas in
solution.
Back Pressure >500mbar plus two times the liquid vapour pressure
backpressure
•Locate the flowmeter in a sheltered position away from falling water.
•Care must be taken to ensure that the end fittings on the meter are not
stressed during use. Ideally, flexible tubes should be used.
•Ideally the meter should be installed with straight lengths of tube either
side for a distance of 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 downstream.
•Install the device well away from valves, regulators, bends and other
components that could cause excessive turbulence on the fluid
entering or leaving the meter.
•If necessary, use spacer blocks and mounting clips to raise the pipe
work centre line 58mm above the surface.
•It is good practice to use upstream and downstream isolating full bore
ball valves to facilitate easy meter installation or removal.
•If push-in 3/8” John Guest fittings are used, clip the pipes to the
mounting surface 300mm upstream and 150 downstream.
•If there is any chance of air passing through the system, mount the
Atrato in a vertical pipe with the flow in an upward direction. Otherwise,
air can remain trapped in the meter and affect its performance.
•The Atrato is not recommended for pulsating flow. Any pulsations must
be damped to less than 10Hz to prevent aliasing of measurement.

Using suitable fixings, mount the connection box onto a rigid surface with the cable entry
preferably at the bottom.

9 Titan Enterprises Ltd ©2021 Atrato_Instruction_Manual_0322
®
The flowmeter should be clipped into place with the terminal screws positioned at the lower
edge. Note that the rubber strip covering the terminals on the meter will not seal if water is
persistently present in this area. Ensure the meter is not pressure washed. The Atrato can
easily be dismounted by inserting a screwdriver under the mounting clip and gently unclipping
it to release the main body. The PG9 thread can be either connected to suitable flexible conduit
or may be fitted with the supplied cable gland.
Position flow meter to prevent gas lock in measurement tube

3. Electrical
WARNING:
The Atrato is designed to be powered from either USB or external DC power.
When connected to both supplies, there is potential for damage to the flow meter
from ground loops or direct shorting of any non-isolated power supplies. The user
must ensure the 0V from the USB and the negative terminal of the DC supply are not
at different voltages, by correct earthing or isolation.
The Atrato can be programmed using the USB connection via a computer.
The Atrato can operate solely on USB power via the computer or a high quality USB2 power
supply (e.g. RS 9076255 5V 5W supply), the meter display will function, as will the relay and
pulse outputs (require target power).
For full functionality, including the analog outputs, 15-24VDC external power is required.
The unit will work with systems from Windows XP onwards.
The maximum connector cable size is 2.5mm (22-14AWG); for ease of assembly we
recommend 1mm maximum. Care should be taken when terminating the wires as the
conductors should be stripped to 4 to 5mm maximum and the wire ends must be pushed fully
into the connector before tightening. These cables pass through a slot cut in the aluminium
housing. Please ensure that no bare conductors are in contact with the surface of the
connector strip prior to closing the housing.
NOTE: The Titan Interface Software allows the user to test the outputs from the flow meter.
