Product overview

The portable velocity system is used in the field, laboratory and municipalities. Turbulent, noisy and

low flows can be measured with this system.

When the sensor is placed in flowing water, a magnetic field around the sensor creates a voltage

proportional to the flow velocity. This voltage amplitude, which represents the rate of water flow

around the sensor, is detected by electrodes in the sensor and processed by the sensor

microprocessor. The processed signal is digitally transmitted through the sensor cable to the portable

meter and the information is shown on the meter display. The system includes a portable meter,

sensor with cable and accessories.

The meter and sensor get velocity information in conduits and streams. These measurements are

important for calibration in municipal wastewater industries, as well as for developing and maintaining

stage discharge relationship curves.

Two types of sensor are available: velocity-only and velocity plus depth. This manual covers both

types of sensors. If information applies to a specified type of sensor, this fact is noted in the text.

System overview

An overview of an assembled system is shown in Figure 1. Refer to the documentation supplied with

1. Real time—Select this option to get real-time velocity and depth information. (A sensor with

depth capability is necessary to read depth). An example of a Real Time screen for sensors with

velocity only is shown in Figure 8. Real time screens for sensors with both velocity and depth is

shown in Figure 9. The format of the information and options shown depends on the type of

sensor used. In Real Time mode, the Quick Jump key toggles between digital and graphic views

of Real Time information. The velocity is updated in FPA filter mode according to fixed period

averaging time. In RC filter mode, the velocity is updated continuously on the screen every

250 ms.

Option Description

Capture Stores the depth and velocity information shown in memory. The information is saved until

power is cycled, the memory is saved to a non-volatile real-time file, or the user exits from real-

time mode.

Save Saves captured measurements in the volatile memory to a non-volatile real-time file. A

message will show if the number of files is greater than the maximum possible. Files are

stored in tab delimited (.tsv) format.

Done or OK Exits the real-time mode and returns to the Main Menu. If there is unsaved data in volatile

memory, a confirmation message asks the user to confirm the exit without saving the data.

Clear Clears captured measurements from the volatile memory buffer. The user can choose from

Clear Last, Clear All or Cancel options.

Setup Allows the user to modify the main filter parameters and enable and program the Maximum

Depth sensor positioning feature. The Maximum depth feature allows a user to enter system

parameters for depth measurement in Real Time mode. The user can choose to enter a

maximum depth value taken directly with a ruler measurement (manual), or taken indirectly

with the depth measurement (automatic). Both methods enable the Maximum Depth sensor

positioning feature.

In automatic mode setup, the user directly enters the distance from the bottom of the channel

to the bottom of the sensor mount (offset). The setup interface will continuously show the

current depth value returned by the sensor plus the offset. The meter stores this value as the

Maximum Depth when the OK button is pushed. In all other cases, the depth values shown do

not include the offset.

The Maximum depth feature requires a sensor with velocity plus depth.

the expanded version of the manual for more information.

English 17

Option Description

Filter

parameters

Applies a data acquisition filter (Main filter or Pre-filter). The user can select the filter

parameters.

Main filter

• Fixed Period Averaging (FPA)—Fixed Period Averaging averages data over a user

selectable fixed period of time (1 to 480 seconds). The default is 30 seconds. If the FPA

value is 5, the velocity value shown in the display is updated once every 5 seconds.

• RCA time constant—The RC filter helps smooth out turbulence through the use of a

selected time constant in the filter algorithm. This mode is useful when searching for a

maximum velocity, for example in the common 0.9 x Vmax profile method. High RC filter

time constants give higher degrees of smoothing. The time constant can be set from 2 to

20 seconds, with a default value of 6. At 1 time constant, the filter settles to

approximately 60% of the final value. At 5 time constants, the filter settles to 99.9% of

the final value. Thus, if the RC value is set to 2, the final value shows after 10 seconds.

Pre-filter

• Median filter—The filtering process is done in the sensor. The feature can be disabled.

However, the recommended (default) value is 5. Enable the feature to enter or change

this value.

Wet/dry

threshold

Sets the sensor submersion threshold for wet and dry conditions. The default value is 20%.

Refer to the appendix in the expanded version of the manual for more information.

Auto zero

depth

Sets the Auto Zero feature to On or Off.

If set to On, the instrument does an air calibration when the sensor is removed from the

water and is in the air. To do the air calibration, the instrument automatically zeroes the

sensor.

If set to Off, the user can manually zero the sensor. To do this, remove the sensor from the

flow, then push and hold the Quick Jump key for five seconds.

When the sensor has been in the flow for 30 minutes, the green circle in the upper right

corner goes from green to red. This is a prompt to the user to remove and zero the sensor

again.

EMI Sets the local line frequency for ambient noise rejection to 50 Hz (default) or 60 Hz .

Clock Sets the date and time of the portable meter in 24-hour format. Daylight savings time is not

supported.

USB Sets the USB mode.

• Mass Storage (default)—This mode operates like a memory stick or hard drive. Files are

read-only.

• CDC—This mode is used to update firmware.

Language Selects the language used in the menus.

Units Sets the units for velocity, flow and depth measurements. Options are Metric (default) or

English .

Beeper On (default) or Off. If set to On, the meter makes an audible tone when:

• The sensor is at the correct depth for applicable profile methods.

• 95% of the measurement time is complete (profiler mode).

• An inactive button is pushed in any menu.

This feature is available only with the optional depth sensor.

Flow

calculation

Selects the method of flow calculation for open water segment (stream profiles only).

Options are Mean-section or Mid-section. Refer to the appendix in the expanded version of
