1 Introduction
1.1 General

This document provides detailed information about wiring an ultrasonic flowmeter series 6.
For general information about the ultrasonic flow meter series 6, please read the quick start
manual (doc. code: 22.100.200.000.02/2 latest valid version). Before performing any activity
on the ultrasonic flowmeter, please familiarize yourself with the safety instructions (doc.
code: 22.100.200.001.02/2 latest valid version).

1.2 Overview SPU

The SPU box contains 2 separated compartments; a main and a rear compartment (see
Figure 1 and Figure 2). The main compartment can be opened from the side of the SPU
and contains the most important circuit boards. All connections herein are factory set and
shouldn’t be adjusted on site. Therefore it is strongly advised to only open this compartment
after consultation with Elster NV/SA.

Figure 1: SPU compartments Figure 2: Rear Compartment

All connections on the meter should be made at the rear compartment (see Figure 2). Five
connection holes are provided; the thread type can be either M20 or ½” NPT. Unused holes
shall be equipped with certified stopping plugs; non-certified plugs (e.g. used for transport
or storage) shall also be replaced by certified plugs. The client is responsible to provide
suitable glands and stopping plugs, with regards to e.g. thread type, hazardous area
certification, ingress protection.

The rear compartment is equipped with the field terminal board (see Figure 3). On this PCB
all connections for external wiring are placed, therefore connecting to a flow computer only
the connection on this PCB should be used.
Optional a DSL modem is placed behind the field terminal board. This is for a long distance
network connection.

1.3 Overall instructions

For wiring the meter suited armoured shielded cables must be used (communication cables
should also be twisted), whereby the cables are protected from mechanical damages as
well as electrical interference. In addition ensure length, diameter, core and resistance of
the cables provide a most optimal match for the particular application.

Be aware!

Special attention needs to be taken when the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Series 6 has
to be installed in accordance with MID (see quick start manual (doc. code:
22.100.200.000.02/2 latest valid version).
For FM Approved Ultrasonic Flowmeter series 6 see also the control drawing
and installation remarks in the Safety Instructions (doc. code:
22.100.200.001.02/2 latest valid version).

For wiring reliable and durable connection it is highly recommended to use

insulated wire end terminals.
To avoid cables ‘hanging’ in the glands; all cables must be ‘’clamped and
cleated’ properly and close to the UFM connections.
The SPU can rotate almost 360°, keep this in mind for the length of the cables.
Ensure they can rotate as well, if needed.

* Be aware!

In case the ultrasonic flow meter body is connected to a cathodic protection system, leave pin number 1
unconnected; as in that case the ‘earth’ of the external power supply should NOT BE CONNECTED.

Table 1: Power connections (TB1)

For choosing the correct cable for wiring the power connection, please refer to the general
instruction in chapter 1.3 and specific instruction in Table 2. When wiring the meter ensure all
requirements are fulfilled. In case of accidental overvoltage the UFM contains a built-in surge
protection.

Nominal power consumption 20 Watt
Table 2: Power connection, wire specification

To prevent the ending of the flow measurement as result of a power failure; it is recommended to
connect the UFM to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If MID applies, the UFM needs to be
powered by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

Warning!

For compliance with EN-IEC 61010 (also harmonized under EU Low Voltage
directive 2006/95/EC) the SPU requires an external power supply, limited-
energy (< 30 Vdc max. 8A), reinforced insulation is provided between input and
output by safety transformer and distances on PCB.
Disconnecting means from supply source shall be provided in the end use.

Depending on the switch ‘SW4’ it is also possible to power the meter through the ethernet
connections, for more detailed information please see chapters 3.1.1 and 4.1.3.

3 Communication connections
This chapter provides detailed information on communication wiring of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter
Series 6. For choosing the correct cables, do not only follow the specification of this chapter, but
also refer to the general instruction in chapter 1.3.

3.1 Network (TB2 and J4)

Only with Elster software package ‘SonicExplorer’ it is possible to perform any

parameterization on the meter. Both software packages can only connect with the meter
through a network connection. This network connection can be either Ethernet or DSL.

It is only possible to connect through DSL when the field terminal board is equipped with
the optional DSL modem print board (see Figure 4). With DSL it is possible to get a network
communication over a total maximum length of 1 km.

Figure 4: Optional DSL modem print board

When connecting through DSL, certain switches on the field terminal board need to be
aligned, see chapter 4.1.2. With the switches on the DSL modem itself, it’s possible to fine
tune the quality of the communication, see chapter 5.

4 Switches and LED indication

4.1 Switches on the field terminal board

The field terminal board contains four switches, SW1 to SW4 (see Figure 5), to control
communication lines and power input.

Figure 5: switches on the flied terminal board

4.1.1. SW1

This switch is placed for the line termination of the serial communication lines (see Table 5).
Every transmission line has to be terminated with the right impedance. Certainly with long
lines, like with RS 485 connections, a correct line termination is important. In transmission
lines without termination, the signal reflects at the end of the cable. This reflection interferes
with the original signal so a cacophony of signals is seen at the receiver.

In practice the line is terminated at the last meter in the RS485 multidrop network with a
resistor. The ‘SW1’ switch has two separate line terminations, one for each RS 485 port.
• ‘SW1-1’: is the line termination of port 1: (pin number 1-3 of TB3, see Table 5).
• ‘SW1-2’: is the line termination of port 2: (pin number 4-6 of TB3, see Table 5).

The line termination is enabled when the switch is placed to the ‘ON’ position.

4.1.2. SW2 and SW3

‘SW2’ and ‘SW3’ are both used to switch the communication of the meter from Ethernet to
DSL. ‘SW2’ consists of 2 separate switches; together with ‘SW3’ they all should be aligned
the same (either up or down).
• For communication through DSL: ‘SW2’ and ‘SW3’ should be up. Communication
should now be taken at pin number 9 -10 of TB2, see Table 3.
• For communication through ethernet: ‘SW2’ and ‘SW3’ should be down.
Communication should now be taken at TB2 or J4, see Table 3 and Table 4.

Please keep in mind, that it is not possible to have communication with the Ultrasonic
Flowmeter Series 6 through ethernet and DSL at the same time.

4.1.3. SW4

This switch controls if the meter needs to be powered through TB1 or through the ethernet
connection.
• If the switch is up: the power should be foreseen through TB1 connector (see Table 1).
• If the switch is down: the power should be foreseen through the ethernet connection
(see Table 3 and Table 4).

4.2 LED indication at the display

The display at the front of the SPU contains LED’s to visualize the status of the power,
connection and performance of the meter. Detailed information can be found in the quick
start manual (doc. code: 22.100.200.000.02/2 latest valid version).

5 Optional DSL modem

For DSL communication the SPU must be equipped with the optional DSL modem (Figure 4)
behind the field terminal board (see Figure 3). Wiring of the DSL communication at the UFM
should be done as described in Table 3.
At the ‘control room’, it’s recommended to use Elster NV/SA own designed VDD DSL modem.
Detailed information about this modem can be found in doc: 03.302.101.050.07/2 (latest valid
version).

5.1 Switches

The DSL modem contains 4 DIP switches (see Figure 6), whereby the DSL communication
can be fine-tuned and aligned. The external VDD DSL modem also contains these 4 DIP
switches. For optimal communication ensure both modems are aligned, as described
below.

Figure 6: Switches on optional DSL modem

5.1.1. DIP switch 1

This switch is to set the modem configuration:

• ON, RT/CPE: DSL modem acts as Remote type / Customer premise equipment side
(slave).
• OFF, OT/CO: DSL modem acts as Office type / Central office side (master).

The setting of this switch must be the opposite as on the modem on the

other side of the communication line.

5.1.2. DIP switch 2

This switch is to set the data transmission mode:

• ON, Fast mode: Direct data transmitting with latency less than 1 ms.
• OFF, Interleave mode: Provides communication protection for up to 250 ms impulse
noise with latency less than 6 ms.
