If any indication of mechanical damage is found, immediately contact the responsible transportation service and your local ARAD LTD. representative. 6.0 System Description and Measurement Method • The OCTAVE’s measurement method is based on an ultrasonic, transit-time, dual-beam sensors which determines the length of time it takes an ultrasonic sound wave to travel the distance between the two sensors located on the meter’s body. The sensors function as both the sender and the receiver, each one alternating these functions so that the ultrasonic wave travels both with and against the direction of the flow. Since the ultrasonic wave travels slower against the flow than with the flow, the time difference of two waves traveling with and against the flow leads to determining the velocity of the water. • The OCTAVE ultrasonic flow meter is a battery-powered precision flow meter designed for linear, bidirectional flow measurement of water. • Flow measurement values can be transferred through the standard comminucation - digital or analog output. • The OCTAVE can be set up for a wide range of applications. 7.0 Mechanical Data Maximum Working Pressure 16 bar Liquid Temperature 0.1 up to 50 º C Precision Class ISO 4064 rev.2005, Accuracy class 2 Configuration Compact - The display is built in to the unit Power Source 2 D size Li-battery: 10 years life time Environmental Protection IP 68, Ambient operation temp. -25°C up to +55°C Display Units Multi line 9 digit LCD display (Flow rate and volume units are programmable) Volume Display Options 1.

Not recommended: If this is the highest point in a system or if pipeline and/or flow meter is subject to being emptied between uses avoid this installation. The Following Examples are Arad’s Recommendations For Achieving Top Performance • When installing the Octave downstream of any hydraulic component (valve, pump) the recommended installation requirements are no less than the drawings recommendations. For upstream & downstream straight pipes please use as much as installation site will allow ( the longer the better) • When installing Pressure Breaker after the meter - the pipe length should be at least 2 pipe diameter (the longer the better). 2 DN 2 DN 2 DN 2 DN tion Flow c Dire tion c Dire Flow Minimum of two (2) pipe diameters before and after 2 pipe diameters before and after elbows (90°) 2 DN 2 DN N 10 D tion c Dire Flow tion c Dire Flow Minimum of ten (10) pipe diameters after pumps Minimum of two (2) pipe diameters before T connections tion c Dire Minimum of two (2) pipe diameters after strainers Flow Direction Flow 2 DN 2 DN 2 DN 2 pipe diameters before and after elbows (90°) in vertical installations 5 9.0 Polymeric Octave Installation – General Instructions Please follow the general instructions for water meters (Check Valve, upstream & down stream and system flushing on new installations). Existing and new installations: 1. It is recommended that the meter will NOT be installed in the middle of the system, so the meter will not suffer from the load of all the installed fixtures. 2. It is recommended that at least one side of meter will be connected to a PVC (or plastic) pipe. 3. Please make sure that the end connections are parallel and inline to each other. 4. When using standard tail piece, please use rubber gaskets only (not fiberglass)! After adding the gaskets the gap between the end connection and the meter should not exceed 1mm. Please unscrew the end connection in order to keep the recommended distance. • Please do not use force in order to close the gap. • Please don’t do any welding while the meter is connected to the pipe. Rubber gasket 1 mm max 6 5. If it is not possible to use plastic connections on one side of the meter, please consider the use of our flexible couplings. These couplings were especially developed for the polymeric Octave meters. You will need to use this coupling only on one side of the meter - please install the coupling on the outlet, if possible - as described in the below pictures. 5mm MAX 3mm MAX 6. Please start to tighten the end connections by hand. Final tightening will be with no more than 100Nm torque. 7. Please don’t do any welding while the meter is connected to the pipe. 8. In case it is not possible to use plastic end connections (at least on one side), please support the meter as shown in the drawing below. Support Plastic end connection 7 10.0 Notes • For proper flow measurements, the OCTAVE’s measuring tube should be completely full at all times. Non-wetted sensors show loss of signal. Though this will not cause damage to the meter, it will, however, not measure flow and display zero. • Flow direction: The OCTAVE is a bidirectional flow meter. Note the indicating arrow on the OCTAVE’s display for forward and backward flows. • In case of direct sunlight exposure, it is recommended to keep the lid closed, though no direct damage will occur with the lid open. • Do not expose the OCTAVE to excessive vibration. To avoid vibration, support the pipeline on both side of the meter • Ambient working temperature: -25 to +55°C. • Water working temperature: 0.1 to +50°C. • To avoid measuring errors due to air in the flow tube, observe the following precautions: • Since air collects at the highest point of the system, installation of the flowmeter should be at the lowest point. • Always install control valves downstream of the meter in order to avoid cavitation. • ever install the meter on a pump suction side in order to avoid cavitation. 11.0 Counter Flanges • Refer to the standard dimensional drawings for flange spacing, accommodating for the thickness of gaskets. • Install meter in line with the pipe axis. The flange faces must be parallel to each other. • Permissible length deviation: Lmax - Lmin 0.5mm (0.02”). 12.0 Start-up DDCheck that the meter has been installed correctly. DDCheck that the flow rate and volume units are correctly preprogrammed on the display. DDCheck that the output module is correctly attached. 13.0 Digital Display m3 m3/h Volume units Flow rate units Battery level Flow direction Alarm / No Water / Error Output Mode 8 14.0 Electrical Outputs The OCTAVE has several outputs options. 1.
