Table of Contents

Notice : Is used to lead users to helpful information not related to personal injury.
Indicates a potential hazard. Failure to follow all
warnings may lead to equipment damage, injury,
or death.
Warning | Caution | Danger
Use of tool(s) may damage produced beyond
repair and potentially void product warranty.
Do Not Use Tools
Please always observe the following safety instructions!
Please pay attention to the safety instructions with the following pictograms and signal words in these operating instructions :
The Truflo®UF-500 Series clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters are easy to install with exceptional long life performance and they
require no alteration to current piping configurations.
The sensor sends over 50 pulses/sec in order to provide accurate measurement of liquid flow rates in full pipes and can be used
in low pressure systems.
The Flow Meter UltraFlo®should only be used for measuring the flow of pure, homogeneous liquids.
The UltraFlo®is not intended for use in medical applications.
The volume flow meter UltraFlo®is built in accordance with industry standard EN 61010 regulations (corresponds to VDE
0411 "Safety specifications for electrical measurement, control and laboratory devices").
The manufacturer is not liable for any injury, damage or harm due to inappropriate or unintended use or modifications of
the flow meter. Conversions and/or changes to the flow meter may only be made, if they are expressly performed in
accordance with the operating instructions in this operating manual.
Intended Use
Assembly, electrical installation, commissioning and maintenance of the flow meter must be carried out by
qualified, trained personnel. The qualified personnel must have read and understood the operating
instructions in this operating manual and must follow the operating instructions in this manual.
The installer has to ensure that the flow meter is correctly connected according to the electrical connection
diagrams in this operating manual.
Serious injury or death from electric shock may occur if wiring, installation, disassembly or removal of wires
is performed while electrical power is energized
Personnel for Installation, Commissioning and Operation
The manufacturer reserves the right to revise, alter, or modify the flow meter to the most current technology without special
prior notice. Further information about the latest updates and potential additions to these operating instructions are available
from Truflo.

Follow these Guide Lines when using the Flow Meter Keypad:
SQ value is short for Signal Quality. It indicates the level of the signal detected. SQ value is indicated by
numbers from 0~99. 00 is the minimum signal could be detected and 99 represents the maximum.
Normally, the transducer position should be adjusted repeatedly and coupling compound should be
checked frequently until the signal quality detected is as strong as possible.

Refers to the ratio between the “actual value” and “

is 2.00, and it is indicated at 1.98 on the instrument,
the scale factor reading is 2/1.98.
This means that the best scale factor constant is 1.01.

This function can prevent that when the pump stops working and the
liquid flows at a low speed in the pipe, data accumulation error
caused by continuous reading of flow meter. Input is generally
recommended 0.05f/s as the low flow cut-off point. The low flow
cut-off value is independent of the measurement results.
After setting, return to the main interface and the flow is "0".
If you return to the main interface, the flow is not "0", the setting is
unsuccessful. Check whether the installation is correct or not.

output displayed values. It is necessary to re-calibrate the current
loop, if over the permitted tolerance.
The displayed value has no meaning, but is only used for internal

Pulses are cumulative output, and the equivalent of each pulse is
0.01L~ 100m3, It can be set through the menu.
The maximum number of pulses output per second is 40.
To select OCT output, an external 5-10K pull-up resistor shall be
