1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The HydraScan software is a PC-based program that interfaces with the Hydra SX series of flowmeters.The software’s on-line functions allow the user to perform system configurations, view flowmeter capabili-ties, view and edit system parameters, and collect historical data.

This manual was written utilizing the Hydra SX50. Note that not all functions/features apply to each Hydramodel, and a particular function/feature may vary slightly from one model to another. Also note that if youare operating the Hydra SX30 or SX40, the software screens may vary slightly from the screens used inthis manual.

3. CONFIGURING THE FLOWMETER

Once the opening screen is displayed, click Unit Setup (bottom left corner of the Flow screen). This opensthe Pipe page (Figure 3, below) which requires you to enter necessary application parameters.

FIGURE 3

3.1 Obtaining Pipe Inside Diameter

You must know the pipe inside diameter (ID) to ensure reliable flow measurements,and there must be flow in the pipe when you start the meter.

If you do not know the pipe ID, try to obtain the pipe outside diameter (OD) using one of the followingmethods:

• Read the pipe OD and schedule on the pipe.• Read the OD and schedule from system drawings.• Measure the pipe circumference with a tape measure, and divide the measured circumference

by 3.14.

6

...3.1 Obtaining Pipe Inside Diameter continued

Use the OD with the charts in Appendix A: Pipe ID Charts (pages 34-36) to obtain an approximate pipe ID.

For a more accurate pipe ID use Thermo Fisher’s Ultrasonic Pipe Thickness Gauge (part number 0704-0187),and perform the following calculation:

pipe ID = pipe OD – (2 x pipe thickness).

3.2 Entering Pipe Parameters

FIGURE 3.2

1. Click inside the Pipe I.D. text box, andenter the pipe ID.

2. Click the arrow in the box next to PipeWall Material. Select the appropriateoption for your application.

3. Repeat step 2 for the Pipe Units, FlowRate Units, and Timebase selections.

4. After entering all required information, clickSend.

Once you send the information, the meter displays the new information. For example, if the information inFigure 3.2 above is sent to the meter, the meter then displays the flow in G/MIN.

3.3 Entering Other Application Information

FIGURE 3.3

Reference this figure for Sections 3.3.1 through 3.3.6(below through page 7).

3.3.1 Low Flow Cutoff

When a zero flow condition occurs, internal sloshing and otherfluid movement can prevent the flowmeter from reading totalzero. This can result in totalizer errors. Minimize these errorsby setting a low flow cutoff which drives the flowmeter to zerofor flow rates at or below specified value. Also refer to Section3.3.4.

7

3.3.2 Damping

The damping coefficient suppresses short-term fluctuations in the indicated flow rate. Increasing thecoefficient increases the response time to changes. Damping should be kept at a minimum unless the flowrate fluctuates wildly. If this is the case with your application, increase the damping just enough to reducethe fluctuation to an acceptable degree.

The meter uses a Smart Filter which allows the damping function to smooth smallfluctuations without diminishing the meter’s response to large flow changes, evenat high damping settings.

3.3.3 Flow Conversion Factor

The flow conversion factor is the current conversion factor that adjusts from ft3/s to the operator’s selectedrate, e.g. gal/s. This value is displayed for diagnostic purposes only.

3.3.4 Velocity Cutoff

Velocity cutoff is available for display purposes only when a low flow cutoff is set.

3.3.5 Site Calibration

1. Determine the flow using another source, and calculate the site calibration adjustment by dividing theactual flow by the meter flow.

2. Click in the text box to the right of Site Cal. and enter the site calibration adjustment.

3.3.6 Remote Zero

This feature enables the meter to read zero flow until signaled by an external control system (e.g., a pumpturning on or a valve opening) to begin reading actual flow. This feature is ideal for systems requiringpump-activated flow readings only and not back flow or flow from possible valve leaks.

Activate the remote zero feature by selecting On; deactivate the feature by selecting Off.

To read flow, open the POSZERO-GND/RELYCOM connection via the externalswitch.

The required switch contacts are usually available in a pump motor controller orvalve controller.

8

3.4 The Totalizer

FIGURE 3.4-A

9

3.4.4.b For the Hydra SX40

This feature is designed to send a pulse each time a preset rate of total flow occurs.

The pulse totalizer multiplier is not independent of the totalizer multiplier.

While Totalizer Relay 1 is active, relay 1 cannot be configured/reconfigured.

1. From the SX40 Pipe page, locate Tot Relay 1.

2. To activate Totalizer Relay 1, click the arrow to the right of Tot Relay 1 to display the multiplier options.

6. THE MISC. PAGE

The Misc. page allows you to access to various overrides, adjust the LCD contrast, and perform a MasterErase.

FIGURE 6

6.1 Accessing the Overrides

6.1.1 Fast Learn

This option provides you with the ability to increase flowmeter response time by disabling some automaticfunctions. Complete the following steps to reduce learn time (while in normal operation) when the flowduration is not long enough to complete the learning process:

1. Click the circle to the left of Yes in the Fast Learn box.

2. Click the Learn Application button, and the meter goes into Learn mode.

23

6.1.2 Range Mode

Enabling this override allows a faster reaction time when needed on a start/stop application; it also allowssemi-manual operation.

1. Click in the circle to the left of Man in the Range Mode section.

2. Select the lowest range in which the maximum expected flow velocity does not exceed 50% of therange.

3. Click in the Signal Strength Cutoff text box, and enter a value above zero but below the signalstrength indicated during flow.

6.1.3 Tx Power

In applications where the signal strength is low, the meter automatically selects high transmit power. Youcan manually select regular or high power in applications where the signal strength is marginal or whereyou feel increased or decreased power output may improve signal quality.

6.1.4 4088XQ Mode

Utilize this option when fast reaction time is required. This override deactivates the Learn mode, and allsettings must be manually entered.

1. Click in the circle to the left of Yes in the 4088XQ mode section.

2. You must enter all settings manually (range, signal strength cutoff, etc.).

3. Click in the Signal Quality Cutoff text box, and enter a value approximately half the signal qualityindicated during flow.

6.1.5 Other Overrides

There are three additional overrides you can access on this page–Signal Strength Override (SSO), LowFlow Override (LFO), and Both.

• SSO: When the signal is less than 1% of full scale in normal operation, the output is automaticallyforced to zero and Learn mode is disabled. Activate this override to enable the meter to read flow inthis situation.

• LFO: The meter’s specified operating range is 0.2 ft/s to 32 ft/s, causing the meter to read zero flow atvelocities below 0.2 ft/s. Selecting this override allows you to manually enter any low flow cutoff (zerois NOT recommended).

• Both: Select this override to activate the SSO and LFO.
