FLOW
UNIVERSAL FLOW TRANSMITTER
MODEL UFT-1
DESCRIPTION
The
Model UFT-1 Universal Flow Transmitter
is a
solid-state, digital signal converter designed to operate
with Data Industrial 200 Series flow sensors. Both ana-
log (4-20 mA) and pulse outputs are available. The
Model UFT-1
may be mounted in an optional NEMA 4X
enclosure or with digital display of gpm or totalized flow
(in a non-watertight enclosure).

APPLICATION
Analog Output (rate)
The
Model UFT-1
analog transmitter converts a Data
Industrial digital flow signal into a precalibrated 4-20 mA
signal. It must be calibrated for each Data Industrial flow
sensor installation. The pipe type, size, and maximum
flow rate must be specified at the time of order if 4-20
mA output is to be used.
Pulse Output (totalization)
The
Model UFT-1
pulse output divides the Data
Industrial digital flow signal by a jumper-selectable 10 or
100 position to provide a more usable digital pulse. The
pulse output is normally used where flow totalization is
required. A simple conversion formula, using the flow
factors for Data Industrial flow sensors on the next page,
can convert the digital pulses to totalized gallons.
The pulse output is an optoisolated transistor switch that
can be wired to source or sink pulses to totalizer equip-
ment.
Note: This unit is not intended for field setup or
field calibration.

INSTALLATION AND CALIBRATION
The
UFT-1
transmitter can be mounted in any position. The
optional watertight enclosure provides a watertight seal
against contaminants. While field calibration is not required
with the
UFT-1,
flow conversion must be accomplished at the
monitoring computer. The information below is provided for
making the conversion calculations.

Maximum gpm is the flow rate at 20 mA output on the trans-
mitter and must be specified at the time the
UFT-1
is ordered
for proper calibration.
TOTALIZED FLOW
Totalized Gallons
= (Flow Factor) x (Output Divider) x (Total

For totalized m3, multiply the above by 0.00379.
Output Divider = 10 or 100 depending on jumper-selection.
