3.1 Intended use
The OPTISONIC 6300 is an ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter that can be fitted on the outside of the
pipeline to measure the flow rate of liquids.
The clamp-on flowmeter is a combination of one or two OPTISONIC 6000 clamp-on sensor(s) and
one UFC 300 ultrasonic flow converter.
The overall functionality of the clamp-on flowmeter is the continuous measurement of actual
volume flow, mass flow, flow speed, velocity of sound, gain, SNR and diagnosis value.
3.2 Pre-installation requirements
Make sure that you have all necessary tools available:
• Allen key (4 and 5 mm)
• Set of screwdrivers
• Wrench for cable glands and for pipe mounting bracket (remote version only); refer to

3.4 Installation and safety instructions
Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.
To assure a quick, safe and uncomplicated installation, we kindly request you to make provisions
as stated below.
The following precautions must be taken to ensure a reliable installation.
•
Make sure that there is adequate space on the sides.
•
Protect the signal converter from direct sunlight and install a sunshade if necessary.
•
Signal converters installed in control cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or heat
exchanger.
•
Do not expose the signal converter to intense vibrations and mechanical shocks.
To avoid measuring errors and malfunctioning of the flowmeter due to gas or air inclusions or an
empty pipe, please observe the following precautions.
Since gas will collect at the highest point of a pipe, installation of the flowmeter at that location
should be avoided at all times. Also, installation in a down going pipe should be avoided since a
completely filled pipe may not be guaranteed due to cascading effects. Additionally, flow profile
distortion is possible.
If you program the diameter, please note that you use the outer diameter of the pipe.
