2 About this productThe flow meter DulcoFlow® is intended for usein measuring pulsing volume flows in the rangefrom 0.1 to 80 l/h. All parts coming into contactwith flow media are made from PVDF. Thisensures that aggressive media can also bemeasured without problem. The device isinstalled approximately 30 cm after the pump inthe metering line. Interfering influences, suchas air bubbles, are identified and forwarded tothe analysis unit as an error message. With thedelta, it can only be used with the fast meteringstroke version.
The DulcoFlow® flow meter can not only beused for recording and measurement of volumeflows, but also for monitoring individualmetering strokes. In this case the pump is cali‐brated to the lifting volume set at the pump. Alower and upper limit can be entered, which ifexceeded or undershot, results in no feedbackto the pump. This creates an error message.The connection to the pump takes place via theinput for the "Flow Control" dosing monitor
The device is designed for wall mounting.

6 Functional descriptionThe DulcoFlow ® flow meter measures thevolume flow of pulsing flows. The ultrasonic,time of flight measurement method is used. Forthe time of flight measurement, a sound signalis alternately transmitted in and against thedirection of flow. The time difference is then ameasure of the mean flow velocity. Use of theultrasound measurement method automaticallycompensates any temperature inducedchanges in the medium. Operation withoutmoving parts guarantees a long service life andwear-free operation.
The DulcoFlow® calculates the mass flow fromthe volume flow and the density of the feedchemical.
Additionally the DulcoFlow® can measure thepressure surges of the metering pump andhence replace a dosing monitor such as theFlow Control. A metering pump such as thegamma/ L or delta® can use these signals asacknowledge pulses for its individual strokes. Ifthe acknowledge pulses are missing or if thecapacity exceeds the specified limit values, themetering pump stops after an adjustablenumber of missing pulses and goes into faultmode - see metering pump operating instruc‐tions.
The DulcoFlow® gives the flow reading, strokefeedback, or error messages via the variousoutput types.

puls/freq. (frequency output)
Firstly the type of the output („Open-Collector“)can be selected so that it is suitable for the con‐nected device (NPN / PNP).
The K factor can be set via the „signal output“menu, and is then used by the DulcoFlow® toconvert the instantaneous flow prior to outputvia the counter output to an external device.
In the „error output“ menu a setting can bemade to determine whether the DulcoFlow®outputs an error signal via the counter output toan external device. It works like a relay instatus NO.
stroke feedback
For stroke feedback, e.g. to a Prominentmetering pump, as with a Flow Control® dosingmonitor, the cable must be fed from the counteroutput to the "dosing monitor" terminal of themetering pump.
Then the „stroke feedback“ must be calibratedunder „calibration“, see chapter "Calibration".

The desired setpoint can also be entered, without having to use the stroke adjustment dial orthe pump having to be running, directly under „volume (stroke)“ using the [arrow keys] .
8.4.3.1.2 For "mass"The permitted range for the mass per stroke m/H can be specified in this menu. If the mass perstroke moves outside of this range, e.g. due toa changed back pressure, the DulcoFlow® nolonger gives any stroke feedback to themetering pump and the right LED now illumi‐nates as a steady red instead of green. ProMi‐nent metering pumps such as the gamma/ L ordelta® go into fault mode after a series of defec‐tive strokes (pump set up).

10.1 Maintenance
Interval Maintenance work
Regularly Check whether the correct flow value is displayed.
If this is not the case, recalibrate the flow - see chapter "calibrate".
If stroke feedback is used: Adjust the stroke length with the metering pump run‐ning and set just above the programmed upper limit - the flow identifier at thepump should no longer flash.
Adjust the stroke length with the metering pump running and set just below theprogrammed lower limit - the flow identifier at the pump should no longer flash.
If this is not the case, check for the cause and as necessary readjust the Dulco‐Flow® - see Ä Chapter 8.4.3.1 „Calibrate "stroke feedback"“ on page 29
If stroke feedback is used: Check whether the stroke feedback LED (right-handside of the device) illuminates in time with the strokes.
If this is not the case, check for the cause and rectify as necessary.
Check whether feed chemical is coming out.
If necessary, carefully wipe the device with a soft cloth and soapy water.
