LiquIdent™ routine that identifies positively any liquid monitored by the 1010PVN system. Since a temperature change will affect the sonic velocity of the liquid, a method to balance the measured sonic velocity to a fixed reference temperature (60ºF/15.6ºC) is provided.
LiquIdent™ factor and liquid tempera- ture vary. The 1010PVN has the ability to accept a 4-20 mA input for pressure. If used, the 1010PVN will process pressure data based on the analog input. This is recommended for pipelines that have wide pressure variances.
1010PVNFM-3A Setting the LiquIdent™ Index A Liquid Class must have an associated LiquIdent™ Index Scale. The 1010PVN uses this scale to compensate its outputs for variations in liquid type. A LiquIdent™ Index is the sonic velocity for the liquid at the Base Temperature, generally 60ºF (15ºC).

Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A verifies your site data, records the sonic characteristics of the pipe and liquid and then ad- justs internal parameters to optimize flow measurement. Please remain patient. This process can take several seconds or several minutes to complete. There is no relationship between the length of an Initial Makeup and the meter’s subsequent performance.

(or zero offset) may be present in any installation. To eliminate this residual zero offset Controlotron has developed several different methods to insure proper zero flow com- pensation. The following paragraphs describe each method and when they should be used.
Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A ZeroMatic (not present in MultiPulse operation) When ZeroMatic is invoked the flowmeter first performs the same analysis as described above in the AutoZero routine. However, after this analysis is complete the flowmeter contin- ues to interrogate the pipe wall signal and update the zero offset value under normal opera- tion, such that the flowmeter dynamically compensates for changing conditions which would normally result in zero drift.
Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A The meter begins to measure the positive flow rate. “Positive” flow refers to flow moving from upstream transducer location to the downstream transducer location.

Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A 2.5.1 DAMPING CONTROL System 1010 provides two different data output filter types, Time Average and SmartSlew™. Time Average (recommended) integrates the instantaneous flow rate over a selectable time period. Use the Time Average function when stability in flow reading is essential. A value entered (in seconds) sets the time it takes the meter to respond to a rate change.
Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A (default) will zero the flow rate output and declare an alarm on a flow display screen, Datalog- ger report and an assigned relay output. For some applications, occasional temporary Fault conditions may be a normal part of the process and would not require an alarm response.

Aeration % The 1010PVN surpasses all other transit-time systems in its ability to operate with substan- tial aeration (caused by entrained gases, mixing condition or cavitation). Some applications may require an alarm indication if aeration exceeds a particular level. The meter detects this aeration level and provides this data as an output.

To store your selection press 2.9.4 DATALOGGER EVENTS The 1010PVN offers “event-based” data logging that operates concurrently with “time inter- val” based data logging. The event-based function generates a Datalogger report upon the triggering of any of the alarms. This is useful for recording transient alarms (e.g., a liquid interface, or a short aeration alert).
Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A NOTE: An Alarm Event report will be generated immediately after the transition from a non-alarm to an alarm event. The reverse situation (alarm state to non-alarm state) does not trigger the event-based Datalogger. Event-based Datalogger messages conserve memory. However, if you use this feature to moni- tor a level such as Flow Alarm, set the alarm threshold high enough to avoid repetitive trig- gering.
Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A NOTE: In single channel 1010PVN meters the Datalogger uses a compression scheme that precludes backward scrolling. Important point about Datalogger resources and dual path systems. When logging data on both measurement channels simultaneously, the Datalogger stores reports in a single common file.

Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A Entering the Diagnostic Graph Screen Before you can view the Diagnostic Graph Screen the 1010 flow channel must first be properly installed and operating in a non-empty condition (refer to the appropriate 1010 Field manual). If a previously installed channel is in a “Fault” condition, but not reporting “Empty”, you can still access the Graph Screen to aid in troubleshooting the cause of the failure to measure flow.
Section 2 1010PVNFM-3A Return to the graph screen and observe the relative position of the up and down waveforms. In a properly correlated receive signal the two images should be nearly superimposed on top of each other, even during high flow conditions. In the unlikely situation where the two im- ages appear to be offset by one or more receive cycles then the flow readings should be consid- ered questionable.

Section 3 1010PVNFM-3A HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE PREPARING TO MOUNT THE TRANSDUCERS Installing the transducers is fairly straightforward. However, careful planning will avoid any snags that may delay the installation. Previously, based on the input you fed into the meter’s computer, it had recommended the transducers size, mounting option and spacing. With the transducers at hand, we are now ready to mount them.
Controlotron systems, or any type of ultrasonic equipment. You can run these cables through a common conduit ONLY if they originate at the same flowmeter.
Section 3 1010PVNFM-3A We recommend Reflect mount whenever possible. This is the simplest way to mount the trans- ducers. Also, Reflect mount resists abnormal flow profile conditions such as cross-flow within the flow stream. Reflect mode supports the AutoZero™ function, which zeroes the meter au- tomatically without user-participation.
1010PVNFM-3A Section 3 3.1.5 REFLECT MODE WITH EZ CLAMP AND SPACER BAR ONLY The EZ Clamp is a quick and easy way to securely mount transducers on any pipe. The spacer bar eliminates manual spacing measurements and provides rigidity for mounting the trans- ducers while maintaining axial alignment.

5.3.1 PIPE DIMENSIONS Controlotron manufactures transducer assemblies to service pipes from 0.25" to 360" in outer diameter. During the transducer install procedure, the flow computer will recommend trans- ducer sizes based on the site data that you enter. Pipes with OD-to-Wall thickness (OD/W) ratios greater than 10 to 1 are ideal applications.
Section 5 1010PVNFM-3A 5.3.4 OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM PERFORMANCE Our system performance specifications are based on acceptable liquid sonic conductivity and other pertinent application conditions. The diversity that characterizes liquid flow, makes it impossible for us to cover all possible application conditions that have the potential to reduce performance.
1010PVNFM-3A Section 5 Data Drift Drift is a defined as a long-term cyclical flow deviation resulting from the variation of liquid temperature or liquid sonic velocity. Drift may be more noticeable when combined with a poor signal-to-noise ratio. System 1010 is carefully designed to minimize the effects of drift. There are no drift-prone analog phase-locked loop devices in the primary detection circuits.
The viscosity of the liquid is an important factor. It governs the degree of Reynolds Number compensation that the flow computer applies to the final rate output. Therefore, flow data errors could result if you enter an inaccurate viscosity value. Controlotron’s Technical Service Department can provide reliable viscosity data for most liquids.
450°F. Please refer to Section 6 for flow tube pressure and temperature rat- ings. OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM 1010PVN MEMORY RESOURCES The System1010PVN memory resources include both Read-Only-Memory (ROM) and battery- backed Random Access Memory (RAM). The ROM memory contains the system operating in- structions, on-line help text, default data, and the pipe, transducer and liquid tables.
Section 5 1010PVNFM-3A reactivate an inactive Site Setup is to recall it back into to Active Memory. However, be aware that this action over-writes ALL the data residing in the Active Memory area. The Datalogger logs data collected at preset intervals during operation. It uses the system RAM resources independently of Active Memory and Site Storage Memory.
