The equipment is capable of accommodating an SD memory card of capacity up to 8GB. An
SD memory card of capacity 256MB is provided as an option.
Compatible media
• SD memory card
Speed class: Class2, 4, 6
• SDHC memory card
Speed class: Class4, 6

4.3.1 Precautions for handling of SD memory card

(1) Use an SD memory card or SDHC memory card that has been formatted based on a standard.
(2) Make sure to format the SD memory card or SDHC memory card based on its standard.
(3) Firmly insert the SD memory card (or SDHC memory card; hereinafter the same) in the appro-
priate direction, and assure that it has been properly mounted.
(4) Do not remove the card during data read/write operation. Data may be broken or erased.
It is recommended that data stored on the card is periodically backed up.
Important data is lost if the SD memory card is broken. Make sure to back up the data on the
SD memory card.

4.3.2 Formatting forms

For formatting an SD memory card, use dedicated formatting software the memory card manu-
facturer provides. Data read/write is not permitted if the card is not property formatted.

 (3) Recording capacity
The recording capacity depends on the capacity of the SD memory card.
One logger file is composed of a configuration file and a data file.
The data file is stored as divided by 65,500 lines for permitting high-speed access and due to
restrictions in the maximum number of lines of CSV display of Microsoft Excel.
The maximum number of data files in a logger is 20 files in case of a continuous logger, and
is 550 files in case of an appointed time logger. If the capacity becomes short during logging
operation, logging operation terminates with the following screen displayed.
Replace the SD memory card immediately, if this screen is displayed.
Press the key, or remove the memory card, the message will be cleared.

Note) After reaching the maximum data file, the logging will stop.

Recording capacity in case an SD memory card of 256 MB is used with continuous logger
In case where the preservation period is 30 seconds and where logger data of all of 14 types is
stored, it is possible to store measured data for about a year.
In the case stated above, the measured data is divided into 16 files, and the capacity of a file is
about 15 MB.

See “10.2.1 Setting of data logger function” for the continuous logger and appointed time logger.
See “16.5.1 Types of measured data to be logged” for logger data types.

5.1 Operating power supply

There are two methods available for energizing this instrument; by the built-in battery or with
the power adapter.
(1) Energizing with built-in battery
(1) To charge the battery
Turn OFF the instrument power and
connect the AC power adapter. The
“CHARGE” LED is lighted in red, and
“DC IN” LED is lighted in green.
When the instrument is fully charged,
"CHARGE” LED goes out.
* About 3 hours will be required for charging..
* In the fully charged condition, the instrument can measure for about 12 hours.
(On condition that the display backlight is turned off and the printer is unused Do not use
current output. the ambient temperature is near normal temperature (20°C).)
Note) The charging time of the built-in battery is 0 to +40°C. If the charging is operated beyond
that range, that will cause fever, leak, performance deterioration, short-life battery.
(2) To energize by built-in battery
When turning on the power supply without connecting the power adapter, the instrument
will be energized by the built-in battery.
Before use, the battery should be fully charged.

(2) Energizing by power adapter

CAUTION
• Use the exclusive power adapter only. Don’t use other adapters, or it may result in
an accident.
• Except the main unit (printer, power adapters, etc.), it is not protectes for dust or
waterproof.
Avoid using the product in a place where it will be exposed to water or humidity.

5.3 Power OFF
(1) Power OFF by [OFF] switch
Keep pressing the [OFF] switch on the main unit for 3 seconds or
longer, to turn OFF the power.
In case where measured data is being logged to an SD memory
card, execute logging interrupt processing before turning OFF the
power.

(2) Power OFF caused by drop in capacity of built-in battery

If the flowmeter is operated by the internal buttery, the power is
turned off after a shut down message appears when the buttery
runs down.
In case where measured data is being logged to an SD memory
card, execute logging interrupt processing before turning OFF the
power.

(3) Precautions for parameter setup change

When parameter setup is changed, parameters are stored in the internal non-volatile memory at
upon return to the measurement screen.
The stored parameters are held even when the power is turned OFF.
Caution: If the power is turned OFF without returning to the measurement screen after param-
eter setup changes, the parameters are not stored, and setup is required again.

CAUTION
Do not operate the main unit using an AC power adaptor in the state where the built-
in battery is removed from the main unit.
• If the power cable is disconnected from the power outlet or if power failure arises
while measured data is being logged to the SD memory card, the data written to
the SD memory card may be broken.

10.2.1 “Logger Operation” mode
There are two logging modes, i.e., quick logger that permits operation from the measurement
screen and logger that is set from the menu screen. Logger is of two different modes, i.e.,
“CONTINUOUS” mode and “SET TIME” mode.
• Quick logger
• Logger
(1) “CONTINUOUS” mode
(2) “SET TIME” mode

(1) Quick logger

The quick logger starts when quick logger start button in the measurement screen is pressed.
The quick logger exits when a period of an hour has elapsed since it was started or when quick
logger stop button is pressed.
• Logging time: 1 hour, fixed
• Cycle: 10 seconds, fixed
• Measured data type: 3 types (unit and number of digits after decimal point are the same) dis-
played in measurement screen and status display
In the case of 3-line or 2-line display, only the flow rate on the first line
is stored.

(2) Logger
(1) “CONTINUOUS” mode
“CONTINUOUS” mode is the mode to perform logging in a fixed period from start date and
time to exit date and time.
Exit occurs upon elapse of exit date and time or when the stop button is pressed. As the exit
time varies by the start time and period, there are cases where it is different from the set exit
time.
• Logging time: Start date and time to exit date and time
• Cycle: 10 seconds to 24 hours
• Measured data type: 14 measured data types and status display

78 INF-TN1FSC-E
 Example) Case of setup of logging from 9/1 9:00PM to 9/8 4:00AM
• Start date and hour: 2008/09/01 21:00
• Exit date and hour: 2008/09/08 04:00
: Logging
9/1 9/2 9/3 9/4 9/5 9/6 9/7 9/8
: PM9:00
: AM4:00

(2) “SET TIME” mode

“SET TIME” mode is the mode to perform logging in a fixed period only during a certain time
zone of a day between the start date and exit date.
Exit occurs upon elapse of exit time of exit period or when the stop button is pressed. As the
exit time varies by the start time and period, there are cases where it is different from the set exit
time.
The difference between start time and exit time is one hour at minimum. If the start time is
earlier than the exit time, logging is performed over 0 o’clock.
• Logging period: Start date to exit date
• Logging time: Start time to end time
• Period: 10 seconds to 23 hours
• Measured data type: 14 measured data types and status display

Example) Case of setup of logging for one week from 9/1, from 9:00PM to 4:00AM
• Period: 9/1 to 9/8
• Start date and hour: 21:00
• Exit date and hour: 04:00

10.2.2 Logger data file format
One logger file is composed of files of two types indicated below. The data file is stored as
divided by 65,500 lines for permitting high-speed access and due to restrictions in the maximum
number of lines of CSV display of Microsoft Excel.
File type File name Remarks
Configuration file (Logging name)_(date)_(hour).ini Means logger start time and relevant logger
data files.
Data file (Logging name)_(date)_(hour).csv Logging data in a specific period

The maximum number of data files in a logger is 20 files in case of a “CONTINUOUS” logger,
and is 550 files in case of a ”SET TIME” logger. The appointed time logger is of one file per
day.
Note) After reaching the maximum data file, the logging will be stopped.

The logger data list shows the following names excluding extension (.ini) of logger configura-
tion files.
• Logger … “Logger name_(start date)_(start hour)”
• Quick logger … “QUICK__(start date)_(start hour)”

 Explanation of measurement data
• Signal power
Displays the intensity of received signals.
The larger the value, the larger the intensity of received signals.
Normal measurement values fall in 35% or more.
For 0%, there is no received signal.
Ultrasonic waves may not be transmitted because of insufficient water volume or rust of piping.
• Trigger level
Displays the detection level of received waveform.
• Signal peek
Displays the peak value of received waveform.
Normal values stably fall within the range from 5528 to 6758.
If the value fluctuates significantly, objects that constitute barriers against ultrasonic wave trans-
mission such as air bubbles or foreign matter may be contained in the fluid.
Stop the flow, and the measurement is found to be normal. If so, there is a possibility that air
bubbles are contained.
• Fluid sound velocity
Displays the calculated value of the fluid sound velocity.

Check the pipe setting and sensor mounting di-
mensions.
When ultrasonic receiving signal waveform is
weakened by the effect of rust in the pipe, abnor-
mal waveform may result. Raise the transmission
voltage and perform measurement. (See page 36).

(3) No received signal

The waveform is free of the received waveform, and
this is the waveform to which the noise is expanded.
The equipment cannot measure.
Ultrasonic waves may not be transmitted because of
insufficient water volume or rust of piping.

(1) Cleaning of converter and detector
Wipe off contamination, dust, etc. from the keyboard and main frame of the converter unit oc-
casionally with soft cloth or the like. If contaminants cannot be removed by wiping with dry
cloth, moisten cloth with water, wring it adequately and wipe again.
When putting the detector in the carrying case after use, wipe off the grease completely.Note)
Do not use volatile agents such as benzene and paint thinner for cleaning.

(2) When instrument unused

Put the instrument in the furnished carrying case and store it at a place which meets the follow-
ing conditions.
• Not exposed to direct sunlight, rain, etc.
• Free from extremely high temperature and humidity (away from a heater)
Storage temperature: −10 to 45°C
• Absence of excessive dust and other contaminants.
Note: Detectors that can be put in the carrying case: only FSD12 and FSD22.

(3) Replacement of clock backup battery

In normal usage, the battery has a service life of about 10 years.
When the battery has reached the end of its service life, the clock will be cleared.
For replacement, contact Fuji Electric.

(4) Replacement of LCD

LCD has a lifetime of 5 years or longer when used continuously. When display becomes dif-
ficult to be read or the backlight does not come on, the LCD should be replaced with a new one.
For replacement, contact Fuji Electric.

(5) Replacement of built-in battery

If it cannot be charged, it is an indication that the battery life is terminated and it needs to be
replaced.
For replacement, be sure to use the battery specified by Fuji Electric (Dwg. No.

16.4 Q & A
I. Q & A about pipes
1. How is piping setting made when piping specifications are unknown ?
Flow rate can be measured within the range of the specifications of PORTAFLOW C by enter-
ing the standard value, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
* Outer diameter can be confirmed by measuring the outside circumference.
* Thickness can be confirmed by using a piping thickness gauge available optionally.

2. What is the effect of coating outside the piping ?

In general, when the outside wall of the piping is rusted and contaminated with deposits of
foreign objects, coating materials, etc., so the sensor is not fitted firmly to the piping, measure-
ment cannot be made if there is an air gap which prevents the passage of ultrasonic waves.
In this case, the sensor should be mounted after removing the contamination.
Measurement at a point with uniform coating can be made without problems.
There are no problems with a thick coating (more than several mm), but the measurement ac-
curacy can be improved by adding the lining thickness to the coating thickness and entering it
prior to measurement.
When wrapped with jute, the jute should be removed before measurement.

3. What is the effect of scales in the piping ?

Measurement can be made even when there are scales in the piping, but the amount of reduc-
tion of the sectional area due to scaling will become an error.
Therefore, the flow indicated is a little larger than the actual flow.
When the scale thickness is known, it can be compensated by adding it to the lining thickness
and entering it for measurement. In general, the state of deposit of scales in old piping is not
uniform, and shows an uneven surface. Therefore, an accurate cross-sectional area of flow
passage cannot be measured.
Also, the flow profile is not uniform, and an accurate measurement of flow cannot be expected,
strictly speaking.

II. Q & A about fluids

1. What is homogenious fluid through which ultrasonic waves are transmitted ?
Municipal water can be measured over the range from raw water to clean water without prob-
lems. Sewage flows can be measured up to return sludge.
If the flow contains many air bubbles, it cannot be measured. In general, the less foreign ob-
jects (including air bubbles) the flow contains, the more easily can it be measured.

2. Is it possible to measure the flow in piping that is not full?

In horizontal piping, if the pipe is filled with liquid up to 2/3 of inside diameter D as shown
below, the flow velocity can be measured. In this case, the flow rate indicated is the assumed
one under filled pipe conditions.
Therefore, the flow indicated is larger than the actual flow.
If sludge is accumulated on the bottom of the piping, the flow velocity can be measured up to
1/3 of inside diameter D. In this case, the flow rate indicated is the assumed one under filled
pipe conditions without any sludge.

(Note) The flowmeter indicates volume flow containing air bubbles.

* Example of measured data

When liquid contains excessive air bubbles, no measurement can be made because of transmis-
sion failure of the ultrasonic waves. When air bubbles enter the liquid momentarily, the output
is retained by the self-check function, thereby causing no problems. Air bubbles easily enter
liquid in the following cases.
(1) Suction of air due to low liquid level of pump well
(2) Occurrence of cavitation
(3) Pressure in the piping becomes negative and air enters from piping connection.

Negative pressure

III Q & A about measuring conditions at locations

1. What about mounting the sensor on horizontal piping ?
The sensor should be mounted in the horizontal direc- Upper
Sensor Sensor
tion on the piping circumference to prevent the effects
of accumulated sludge (lower) and air bubbles (upper).

Lower

2. What about mounting the sensor on vertical piping ?

The sensor can be mounted on any external position of vertical piping.
The recommendable flow direction is upward to avoid the interference of bubbles.

3. When the length of straight piping is short and a pump, valve, orifice, etc. is
present, what is required for measurement ?
In general, the length of straight piping on upstream side should be longer than 10D, and that
on downstream side should be longer than 5D. When a pump, valve, orifice, etc. is present,
measurement should be made at a location greater than 30D away on the upstream side and
greater than 5D away on the downstream side.

4. How far can the sensor extension cord be extended ?

Extension cords can be connected and extended up to 100m.
(Special cable with BNC connector: 10m × 2 or 50m × 2 available optionally)

INF-TN1FSC-E 173
IV. Q & A about accuracy
1. What is the approximate accuracy of measurement ?
Specifications:
Inside diameter Flow velocity Accuracy
φ15 to φ25 or less 2 to 32m/s ± 2.5% of measured flow
0 to 2m/s ± 0.05m/s
φ25 to φ50 or less 2 to 32m/s ± 1.5% of measured flow
0 to 2m/s ± 0.03m/s*1
φ50 to φ300 or less 2 to 32m/s ± 1.0% of measured flow
0 to 2m/s ± 0.02m/s
φ300 to φ6000 1 to 32m/s ± 1.0% of measured flow
0 to 1m/s ± 0.01m/s
*1: Example of calculation
Error at 2m/s? → ± 0.03 × 100/2 = ± 1.5%
Error at 1m/s? → ± 0.03 × 100/1 = ± 3.0%

Formerly, the expression „% of full scale was often used. But, in the recent age of digital
system, it is more frequently expressed in % of the displayed value. Under the condition of
low flow velocity, the absolute value of error is used as a standard of accuracy in consideration
of the threshold of device performance.

2. What about error factors ?

On PORTAFLOW C, ultrasonic waves are emitted from the outside of the piping and the time
is measured while the waves are passing through the piping material - fluid - piping material.
The following points become the error factors to be considered when evaluating the measured
values.

(1) Piping size

When the value set for piping size is different from the actual size of piping, and if the
difference from the inside diameter is about 1% in size, the error is about 3% of deviation
obtained by flow conversion.
(The following shows an example of 1mm deviation in inside diameter)

(2) Difference in sensor mounting length

As a general standard, when the error in mounting length is ±1mm, the error of flow is
within 1%.

174 INF-TN1FSC-E
 (3) Flow in piping is deviated
When the straight piping is short (particularly upstream side), the flow has become skewed
and some deviation error will occur, or fluctuation of indicated value will occur when the
flow is swirling.

(4) Inside diameter different from set value due to deposits of scales inside the piping
The error is the same as noted in (1). If scales are badly deposited, receiving waves are not

(5) Change in water temperature

Sound velocity of the water is calculated in real time and change in fluid temperature is
compensated (new sound velocity measuring system), but there is a slight error.

(6) Weak received wave due to improper mounting condition and piping condition
Measurement may be possible. But, if received wave is weak, it may result in a large error
due to the effect of external noise.

(7) Output when the liquid contains air bubbles

When the amount of air bubbles contained in the liquid is lower than the allowable value
indicated before, PORTAFLOW C indicates volume flow containing air bubbles.

3. What about comparison with other flowmeters ?

Although thermometers and pressure gauges can easily be calibrated at a site, flowmeters are
generally very difficult to calibrate at a site.
Therefore, PORTAFLOW C is often used for checking other flowmeters. After checking,
the result of comparison of flowmeters should be evaluated with care while considering to the
following points.

(1) Consideration of error of each flowmeter

Evaluate the calibration error in consideration for accuracy indication (percentage in FS or
percentage of the rate)

(2) Study data systematically, if an error is found.

Do not compare values only at 1 point of flow. Draw many samples on a graph and ar-
range them systematically for clear evaluation.

(3) Thoroughly check the piping system.

If fluid flows into or out of a branch pipe in the middle of a piping system, the comparison
data of each side of such a pipe-junction may not match each other.
When there is storage in the middle of piping system and it becomes a buffer for the flow,
the liquid level of the storage area should be taken into consideration.

(4) Comparison of 2 different sets of flowmeters is difficult.

When there is a difference between 2 sets of flowmeters, it is difficult to judge the correct
one. So, another judgement criteria needs to be considered.

1. Life span of LCD
The life span of LCD is considered to be about l0 years under general operating conditions, ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s catalogue. Generally, it is about 5 to 6 years in actual service.
The life span is not so much related to the number of displaying operations.

2. Printer roll sheet

(1) Supplied printer roll sheet is 28 meters long.
The roll sheet is fed at 0.125 mm/dot.
Setting the paper feed at a cycle of 1 second uses a roll of paper in 224,000 sec. (about
62.2 hours) = 28 m /0.125 mm.
(2) In case of TEXT mode
A single printing consists of the following:
1) Date (1 line),
2) Flow velocity, flow rate, and total (several lines),
3) Measuring conditions (1 line)
4) Paper-feed (4 mm)
A printer has a paper fed at 4 mm/line.
For example, if you select flow rate (m3/h), flow velocity and +total, the paper feed totals
5 lines (24 mm). If a printing cycle is assumed to set to 1 minute, a roll of paper will be
used for 1167 minutes (about 19.4 hours) = 28 meters/24 mm
