2) Double-click on the ULTRALINK icon. The  rst screen is

the “RUN” mode screen (see Figure 4.2), which contains

real-time information regarding  ow rate, totals, signal

strength, communications status, and the  ow meter’s

serial number. The COMM indicator in the lower right-

hand corner indicates that the serial connection is

active. If the COMM box contains a red ERROR, click

on the Communications button on the Menu bar and

select Initialize. Choose the appropriate COM port and

the RS232 / USB Com Port Type. Proper communica-

FIGURE 4.2  DATA DISPLAY SCREEN

Configuration

The Con guration drop-down houses six

screens used to control how the TFXL is set up

and responds to varying  ow conditions. The

 rst screen that appears after clicking the Con guration

button is the Basic screen. See Figure 4.3.

BASIC TAB

GENERAL

The general heading allows users to select the measurement

system for meter setup, either English or Metric and choose

from a number of pre-programmed small pipe con gura-

tions in the Standard Con gurations drop-down. If pipe

measurements are to be entered in inches, select English. If

pipe measurements are to be entered in millimeters, select

Metric. If the General entries are altered from those at instru-

ment start-up, then click on the Download button in the

lower right-hand portion of the screen and cycle power to

the TFXL.

When using the Standard Con gurations drop-down menu

alternate, menu choices can be made by using the following

guidelines:

1) Select the transducer type and pipe size for the trans-

ducer to be used. The  rmware will automatically enter

the appropriate values for that pipe size and type. Every

entry parameter except for Units, Standard Con gura-

tions, and Speci c Heat Capacity will be unavailable

behind a “grayed out” entry box.

2) Go back to the Standard Con gurations drop-down

menu and select Custom. As soon as Custom is chosen,

the previously grayed out selections will become avail-

able for editing.

3) Make any changes to the Basic con guration deemed

necessary and press Download.

4) To ensure that the con guration changes take e ect,

turn the power o and then back on again to the

transmitter.

TRANSDUCER

Transducer Type selects the transducer that will be

connected to the TFXL  ow meter. Select the appropriate

transducer type from the drop-down list. This selection

in uences transducer spacing and  ow meter performance,

so it must be correct. If you are unsure about the type of

transducer to which the TFXL will be connected, consult the

shipment packing list or call the manufacturer for assistance.

NOTE: A change of Transducer Type will cause a System

Con guration Error (1002: Sys Con g Changed) to occur. This

error will clear when the microprocessor is reset or power is

cycled on the  ow meter.

Transducer Mount selects the orientation of the transducers

on the piping system. See Part 2 of this manual and Table

2.2 for detailed information regarding transducer mounting

modes for particular pipe and liquid characteristics. When-

ever Transducer Mount is changed, a download command

and subsequent microprocessor reset or  ow meter power

cycle must be conducted.
