and has been prepared for the express purpose of assisting in installation, operation, and
maintenance of the instruments described herein. Publication of this information does not convey
any rights of use or reproduction other than in connection with the installation, operation and

USING THIS MANUAL
In order to use this manual, you will need the model code that can be found on the nameplate of
the flowmeter, as shown on the example below (see MODEL CODES). The Model Code allows you
to determine minimum and maximum flow capabilities, as well as pressure drop for various sizes.

50 pipe diameters are required upstream as distance from a valve.
No use of Teflon tape please. (See detailed piping instructions.)
CONFIGURATION OF METER
At start up , display shows 1.888.8.8 showing that its digits are all functional

INSTALLATION
For best results, the meters may be installed in any position as long as proper piping installation
requirements are observed. This includes sufficient support of adjacent piping to minimize the
system’s inherent vibration. Unions of the same pipe size and full port isolation ball valves may be
installed for ease of removal and servicing of equipment, if necessary. Meters should be placed in
horizontal, slightly ascending runs or vertical runs to prevent trapped air from accumulating in the
meter. Furthermore, the meters should not be placed at the highest point in the piping. The
piping system should be filled slowly to prevent water hammer from damaging the flow sensor.
Please note that reverse flow can also damage the flow sensor.
In order to achieve the stated accuracy, a straight pipe run of 10 pipe-diameters (minimum) is
required upstream of the meter, as well as 5 pipe-diameters downstream. Isolation ball valves,
when used, should be in the full open position. Throttling valves should always be placed
downstream of the meter. A minimum straight run of 50 pipe-diameters is required between an
upstream valve and the flowmeter.
If Teflon® tape or pipe sealant is used, the user must ensure that no loose parts become
wrapped around the bluff or the flow sensor when flow starts.
Use of diaphragm or piston pumps affects the meter’s performance unless they are installed with
a properly sized pulsation dampener and pressure control. The piping system must create some
backpressure on the meter to allow vortex formation and to prevent cavitation, especially at full
flow. Minimum required backpressure is 10 PSIG at maximum flow and at 70 °F (21 °C). Higher
backpressures are required at elevated temperatures and occasional surges to 125% of maximum
flow.
In rare situations, the user may notice an intermittent flow display that drops off while the flow is
held steady. In this case, please contact UFM to discuss the backpressure requirements.

OPERATION
CoolPoint is an inline flowmeter that utilizes the vortex shedding principle. The fluid strikes a
bluff body, generating vortices (eddies) that move downstream. The vortices form alternately,
from one side to the other. A piezoelectric sensor housed in a sensor tube directly downstream of
the bluff senses the pressure zones created by the vortices. The sensor generates a frequency
directly proportional to the vortices (flow). The pulses are then amplified by the circuit board and
converted to an output, which is also linear with flow. Flow is displayed on the LEDs in either GPM,
LPM or CMH. Selection of the preferred units of measure is made by using the MENU pushbutton.
APPLICATIONS
CoolPoint can be used on low viscosity, clean or dirty water-like liquids that are compatible with
brass, PVDF and Viton. Metered fluids should not include long fibers or a significant level of
abrasive solids. Should abrasive wear occur over time, bluffs as well as the sensors are
replaceable. Typical applications include cooling loops using water, 50% solutions of glycol, and
water-soluble machine coolant (up to 10%). These applications are found in most process
industries, including rubber, steel, fabrication, manufacturing, refining, paper, chemical, food,
petrochemical and power. They cannot be used on gases (including air), or on flammable liquids.
Note: If used outside the parameters specified in this manual, the proper operation of the
flowmeter cannot be guaranteed.
Cleaning: These meters do not require any special cleaning of the external surfaces. If cleaning is
deemed necessary, strong solvents, detergents, or chemicals should not be used. A damp cloth
may be used to wipe off dirt or debris.
