    Special Programming Instructions for UTXDR Transducers

    Introduction our UTXDR ultrasonic flow transducers.


    Thank you for your recent purchase of 913-332A
    June 2006
    The UTXDR transducers have been used in hundreds of customer applications
    since their introduction in 2005 for use with our AquaTrans™ UTX878 ultrasonic
    liquid flow transmitter. The UTXDR transducers are now compatible with our
    complete line of dedicated ultrasonic liquid flowmeters (AquaTrans™ AT868,
    DigitalFlow™ DF868 and DigitalFlow™ XMT868i) and with our portable
    Transport® PT878 ultrasonic liquid flowmeter.

    Transducer Spacing There are two different versions of the UTXDR transducers, and you must identify
    your version in order to properly set the transducer spacing during installation.
    Refer to Figure 1 below, which shows a top view of both transducer designs, and
    determine if you have the “Rounded Top” or “Squared Top” transducer design.

    Rounded Top Squared Top

    Figure 1: The Two UTXDR Transducer Designs

    Refer to your flowmeter User’s Manual for instructions on navigating to the


    programming screen for the transducer spacing. Then, based on your transducer
    design, install the transducers with the following spacing:

    • Rounded Top - use the transducer spacing calculated by the meter

    • Squared Top - add 0.2” to the transducer spacing calculated by the meter

    Special Programming Instructions for UTXDR Transducers April 2008

    Transducer Parameters We are in the process of updating the user program software for each of the
    ultrasonic liquid flowmeters mentioned on page 1, so that the UTXDR transducers
    are included as a standard selection in the programming menus. If your current
    meter software does not include the UTXDR option among the standard transducer
    types, complete the following steps to correctly program your meter:

    1. Refer to the User’s Manual that was supplied with your flowmeter to navigate
    through the programming menus until you reach the screen for entering the
    transducer parameters.
    2. Select the option: Transducer Number 91 (Special)
    3. Find your transducer model number in Table 1 below.
    4. Using the data in Table 1 below, program your Transducer Type, Tw,
    Frequency, Wedge Soundspeed and Wedge Angle values into your meter.
    Note: For portable flowmeters, the above steps need only be completed once.
    The programmed information is permanently stored under Transducer 91
    until the parameters are modified.

    Table 1: UTXDR Transducer Parameters


    Transducer Transducer Tw Frequency Wedge Wedge
    Number Type (μsec) (MHz) Soundspeed* Angle (deg.)
    407 Shear 8.8 2 8150.3 ft/s 42.0
    408 8.0 4 (2484.2 m/s)
    409 20.3 0.5
    410 17.3 1.0
    * The listed Wedge Soundspeed is for a default wedge temperature of 20°C. To calculate the correct value
    for other wedge temperatures use the following formula:

    Wedge Soundspeed = [ 2516 – ( 1.59 • wedge temp in °C ) ] m/s

    Note: If you have any difficulty programming your meter or have any other questions about GE Sensing flow
    products, please contact our local office for assistance.
