HEATMETER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Installation
Connect the flow transducers to the instrument as described in the HARDWARE section of this
manual. Note that the Ultraflo must read positive flow otherwise the energy displayed will read zero.
Attach the temperature probes to the outside of the flow and return pipes. Use the stainless steel
banding to attach the temperature probe. Heat sink compound should be applied between the probe
and pipe for better heat transfer. Lagging should then be wrapped over the temperature probe itself
to stabilise the temperature.
One temperature probe should be attached to the feed pipe as the HOT SENSOR and the other is
attached to the return pipe as the COLD SENSOR.

Remove the terminal lid and connect the temperature probes’ making sure the power is turned off.
Connect the HOT sensor to the terminal marked HOT (Pins 5,6,7) and the COLD sensor to the
terminal marked COLD (Pins 8,9,10). A reversed temperature connection will make the
measured energy zero.

The WHITE core from each temperature probe must always be connected to the negative (Pins 6
and 9). The other two cores on each temperature probe connect to either of the positive terminals
(Pins 5, 7and Pins 8,10). Always remember to earth the PT100 probes using the screen core.
The PT100 are subject to interference from power sources such as, pumps and invertors and
any electrical equipment. The interference will cause an error in the measurement of
temperature.
2. Operation
Connect power to the instrument and wait for a few seconds.
1. Follow the Quick Start menu on page 8 to read flow. Note that if the fluid selected is not water,
the user will be prompted for the SHC (specific heat capacity) and the density relative to water
3 3
(specific gravity). For water @ 20°C the SHC is 4.2 kj/m and the density is 996kg/m . To
calculate the SHC figure to enter into the unit find the SHC of the liquid being measured in kJ/kg
K and divide by 4.2 kJ/kg K. Now enter this figure into the unit.

2. To calculate the relative density, find the density in kg/m and divide by the density of water @

20°C (996 kg/m ). Now enter this number into the unit. The SHC and Density figures are usually
available from your supplier.
3. Select the Energy units required when setting up the display or outputs from the FUNCTION
menu on page 13. Scroll through the options and press ENTER to select.
4. It is now possible to set either of the two 4-20mA outputs for Flow/Energy or Temperature

CE MARKING
The Ultraflo 2000 has been tested and found to conform to EN50081 - 1 Emission Standards and EN50082 -
1 Immunity Standards.
The tests were conducted by AQL - EMC Ltd, of 16 Cobham Road, Ferndown Industrial Estate, Wimborne,
UK BH21 7PG.
The unit was tested with all cables as supplied of a maximum length of 3m. While the operation of the unit
may not be affected by the use of longer cables, Micronics can make no statement about conformance to the
above standards when these cables are in use.
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY
The Ultraflo 2000 Ultrasonic liquid flow meter is guaranteed by MICRONICS to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of shipment to the original customer,
provided that the equipment has been installed and used in the manner described in this User’s Manual.
Fuses and sensor cables are not included in this warranty.
Repair or replacement, at MICRONICS option, will be made without charge at its factory during the warranty
period.
If any problems develop, take the followings steps:
1) Notify MICRONICS or the Distributor from whom you purchased the meter giving full details of the
problem. Be sure to include the model and serial numbers of your flow meter. You will then receive
service data and/or shipping instructions, depending on your problem.
2) If you are instructed to send your meter back to the factory, please send it prepaid to the authorised
repair station, as indicated in the shipping instructions.
The warranty of the ULTRAFLO 2000 Ultrasonic Liquid Flow meter by MICRONICS is limited to those
stated above and MICRONICS will not be liable for anything beyond this.
