SONIC-PRO d Series S4 Ultrasonic Flow Meter Installation and Operating Manual ProSeries 2 TWO-YEAR WARRANTY ProSeries by Blue-White Industries, Ltd. Industries,Ind. Ltd.
Page 1 Sonic-Pro Safety Precautions Thank you for purchasing the Sonic-Pro series S4 ultrasonic flowmeter. This instruction manual provides important information regarding the safe installation, operation and maintenance of the flowmeter. Please read it carefully before attempting to install or operate the meter. A copy of this manual should be kept by the operator. Extra copies of this manual are available from your supplier or directly from the manufacturer.
Page 2 Sonic-Pro 1.0 Product Overview The Sonic-Pro series S4 Ultrasonic Flow Meter can measure fluid flow in water and many other clean fluids with sound speeds that are similar to water. The meter measures fluid flow using the Transit Time method. The S4 ultrasonic sound transducers do not touch the process fluid and there are no moving parts. This method of flow measurement is safe, nonintrusive and requires little to no maintenance.
Page 3 Sonic-Pro 2.0 Flowmeter SPU Installation 2.1 Unpacking The Sonic-Pro Flowmeter is shipped with the following items: ! ! ! ! Sonic-Pro Flowmeter SPU (Signal Processing Unit) Sonic-Pro Inline Pipe Fitting Enclosure Mounting Hardware (not included in sensor mounted units) 2 mounting plates 4 mounting plate screws (10-32 x .50”) 2 wall mounting screws (#10 x 1.
Page 4 Sonic-Pro 3.0 Ultrasonic Transducer Installation Minimum Straight Pipe Length Requirements The Sonic-Pro’s sound wave beam is only affected by fluid that actually passes through the beam and therefore, the meter will not measure with high accuracy if the fluid velocity is not consistent across the entire pipe diameter.
Page 5 Sonic-Pro 4.0 Wiring Installation 4.1 Electrical Connections The meter must be powered by 15 to 28 volts DC. Depending on the model ordered, an AC/DC plug-in transformer may have been be supplied for this purpose. See the diagram below for wiring of output signals, communications signals and process control relays. The transducer cable length is factory fixed. Do not attempt to modify the length of these cables. Various cable lengths are available from the factory.
Sonic-Pro 4.4 Wiring Terminals Page 6 The terminal blocks are plug type capable of accepting 14 to 30 AWG wire.
Page 7 Sonic-Pro 5.0 Operation 5.1 Power On 1. If power is present on Terminal T1 pins 1 & 2, the meter is always powered on. 2. If power is removed from Terminal T1 pins 1 & 2, and 4 D-Cell batteries are installed on Terminal T1 pins 4 & 5, the meter will stay on (battery back-up). Under these conditions, the meter can be turned on/off by pressing and holding the front panel ENTER button for three seconds. 3.

The following menu will be displayed: Ÿ Press up arrow p or down arrow q to select menu items. The selected item will be highlighted. Ÿ Press right arrow u or ENTER to enter the selected menu. Ÿ Press left arrow t to go back one menu. Ÿ Notice the gray area.
Page 9 Sonic-Pro 6.0 Configuration The S4’s SPU can be used with a Paddle Wheel type sensor that outputs an AC Sine wave or an Ultrasonic type sensor. 6.1 Configure the SPU for a Paddle Wheel Sensor When using an AC Sine wave Paddle Wheel type flow sensor and pipe fitting, the installer must input the pipe fitting K-factor. The K-Factor is the total number of pulses output by the sensor per gallon of fluid flow for a specific pipe fitting. The K-factor is different for each pipe fitting.

Select METRIC when entering pipe the Outside Diameter and Pipe Wall Thickness dimensional data in millimeters. Note that the factory default units is INCHES. These dimensions are shown on the Calibration Detail label affixed to the pipe fitting: Meas. Units ENGLISH METRIC CALIBRATION DETAIL LABEL 6.2.
Page 11 Sonic-Pro 6.2.2.4 Fluid Flow Direction The relative flow direction is shown on the Calibration Detail label affixed to the pipe fitting. Transducer Model Mount Method Cable Length(ft) Flow Direction 6.2.2.5 Fluid Flow Direction Direction A -> B B -> A Each of the flow directions (A to B and B to A) have a Scaling Factor and either a positive or negative Zero Factor associated with it.
Sonic-Pro 6.2.4 Fluid Menu Page 12 The sound transducers are located in the S4 pipe fitting. They are carefully positioned at the factory for use with water at 68 degrees F which has a SOS (Speed Of Sound) of 1481 meters per second. (see page 28 for water SOS chart). The transducer placement cannot be adjusted in the field. As the fluid’s sound speed moves away from the target Fluid SOS, measurements become more difficult.

Sonic-Pro 6.3.1 Logging Menu Page 14 Data logs are stored in the meter’s internal memory in a space delimited .TXT file that can easily be copied to a removable USB flash drive located on the main circuit board. Each log file includes the date and time, the flow rate (FR) and the flow total (TL). A total of 191,800 logs can be stored. 2013/12/29 09:15:00 FR 0.0000 TL 0.00 The Log Interval determines the number of seconds from 1 - 999,999 that the meter will wait between logs.

Page 17 Sonic-Pro 6.3.2.9 Sleep Timer To conserve power, the S4 can be configured to “sleep” from 3 to 268 seconds per cycle. At the end of each sleep cycle, the meter will “wake” for the number of seconds (from 2 to 10 seconds) as configured in the Flow Average feature, record data, and then return to sleep. During the “wake” period, the display will remain blank.
