RoHS
The AquaTrans™ AT600 fully complies with RoHS regulations (Directive 2011/65/EU).
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It
may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on
the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse
or recycle most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local or
regional waste administration.
The AT600 consists of the new AT600 electronics, a metal enclosure, the field proven AT transducer system,
and a clamp-on transducer fixture (see Figure 1 below).

Electronics
Power Cable

Fixture
In operation, each transducer functions as a transmitter, generating a certain number of acoustic pulses, and
then as a receiver for an identical number of pulses (see Figure 2 and Figure 3 below). The time interval
between transmission and reception of the ultrasonic signals is measured in both directions. When the
liquid in the pipe is not flowing, the transit-time downstream equals the transit-time upstream. However,
when the liquid is flowing, the transit-time downstream is less than the transit-time upstream. The
difference between the downstream and upstream transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing
liquid and its sign indicates the direction of flow.
WARNING! The AT 600 flow transmitter can measure the flow rate of many fluids, some of which
are potentially hazardous. The importance of proper safety practices cannot be overemphasized.
WARNING! Be sure to follow all applicable local safety codes and regulations for installing electrical
equipment and working with hazardous fluids or flow conditions. Consult company safety personnel
or local safety authorities to verify the safety of any procedure or practice.
ATTENTION EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS! To meet CE Marking and UL Marking requirements, all cables
must be installed as described in “Wiring Cable Specifications and Requirements” on page 177.
Please note that the AT600 system (see Figure 4 below) is available in a variety of configurations to meet your
needs, so the packing list will vary for each system. As an example, a typical packing list is:
1. One AT600 electronics enclosure
2. Two clamp-on fixtures
3. Two transducers (installed in one of the two clamp-on fixtures)
4. One transducer cable (installed on fixture with transducers)

• Locate the transducers on a common axial plane along the pipe (see Figure 8 below). The transducers
should be mounted on the side of the pipe, rather than the top or bottom, because the top of the pipe
tends to accumulate gases and the bottom tends to accumulate sediment. Either condition may cause
excessive attenuation of the ultrasonic signal. There is no similar restriction with vertical pipes, as
long as the flow direction is upward to prevent free falling of the fluid in a partially filled pipe.

The AT600 clamp-on fixture and AT6 transducer system can be installed on pipe sizes 2 in. (50 mm). For
optimum performance in any specific application, either a two-traverse or one-traverse installation can be
chosen. Because the maximum pipe size for a single clamp-on fixture is 250 mm for 2 MHz transducers or
320 mm for 1 MHz and 0.5 MHz transducers, the detailed installation requirements differ based on the
calculated transducer spacing and the chosen number of traverses. Refer to Table 2 below to find the
parameters for your specific configuration.
IMPORTANT: See “Sensor Setup” on page 66 to calculate the required transducer spacing. A two traverse
installation is recommended for most applications.
IMPORTANT: If there is any type of coating or protective layer on the outer pipe surface, it must be removed at
the locations where the transducers and couplant contact the pipe surface.

The best way to illustrate this process is with the following example calculation:
• The parameters set on the previous page are the Pulse Value (PV = the volume of flow per pulse) and
the Pulse Time (PT = the width of each pulse).
• Program the Pulse Measurement as a Forward Batch Totalizer.
• Consider a process where the volumetric flow rate (VR) fluctuates near 4.6 liter/sec.
• Then, the duration of each pulse is PV/VR = 0.23/4.6 = 50 ms. As the Pulse Time (PT) is defined as half
the pulse duration, then the correct PT = 25 ms.
• Program the AT600 frequency output with PV = 0.23 liters/pulse and PT = 25 ms. If your frequency
counter correctly reads the AT600 pulse output, then these settings are appropriate. If not, you need
to try different calculations for PV (instead of VR/20) until you find a set of values that can be
properly read by your frequency counter. In general, the smallest PV value that is within the
resolution specification for your frequency counter will provide the best accuracy for the batch
totalizer.

Cause: When the SNR is less that the value of Signal Low Limit or the signal cannot be found when the
flow is started, the Low Signal error is displayed. Poor signal strength may be caused by a
defective cable, a flowcell problem, a defective transducer or a problem in the electronics console.
A signal that exceeds the programmed limits is probably caused by the entry of an improper
value in the menu Program > Advanced > Error Limits > Signal Low limits.
Action: Refer to “Diagnostics” on page 93. Also, check the programmed value in the Program > Advanced >
Error Limits> Signal Low Limit menu.
Cause: When the measured sound speed exceeds the programmed sound speed limit, this error is
displayed. The error may result from incorrect programming, poor flow conditions, and/or poor
transducer orientation.
Action: Correct the programming errors. Refer to “Diagnostics” on page 93, to correct the flowcell and/or
transducer problems. Also, check the value programmed in the Program > Advanced > Error Limits
> SNSD +- Limit menu.
Cause: When the measured velocity exceeds the programmed velocity limit, this error is displayed. The
error may be caused by improper programming, poor flow conditions, and/or excessive flow
turbulence.
Action: Make sure the actual flow rate is within the programmed limits. Also, check the value
programmed in the Program > Advanced > Error Limits > Velocity Low/High menu. Refer to
“Diagnostics” on page 93, to correct the flowcell and/or transducer problems.
Cause: The peak of the upstream or downstream correlation signals has fallen below the correlation
peak limit programmed in the Program > Advanced > Error Limits > Correlation Peak menu. This may
be caused by a flowcell or electrical problem.
Action: Check for sources of electrical interference and verify the integrity of the electronics console by
temporarily substituting a test flowcell that is known to be good. Check the transducers and
relocate them, if necessary. See “Diagnostics” on page 93, for instructions.
Cause: Solid or liquid particulates may be present in the flowcell. Also, poor coupling for the clamp-on
transducers can cause this problem.
Cause: This condition is usually caused by poor flow conditions or improper transducer alignment.
Action: Refer to “Diagnostics” on page 93, to correct any flowcell and/or transducer problems.
5.2 Diagnostics
5.2.1 Introduction
This section explains how to troubleshoot the AT600 if problems arise with the electronics enclosure, the
flowcell, or the transducers. Indications of a possible problem include:
• Display of an error message on the LCD display screen, Vitality PC software, or HART.
• Readings of doubtful accuracy (i.e., readings that are not consistent with readings from another flow
measuring device connected to the same process).
If any of the above conditions occurs, proceed with the instructions presented in this section.
If the physical installation of the system meets the recommended specifications, it is possible that the fluid
itself may be preventing accurate flow rate measurements. The fluid being measured must meet the
following requirements:
• The fluid must be homogeneous, single-phase, relatively clean and flowing steadily.
Although a low level of entrained particles may have little effect on the operation of the AT600,
excessive amounts of solid or gas particles will absorb or disperse the ultrasound signals. This
interference with the ultrasound transmissions through the fluid causes inaccurate flow rate
measurements. In addition, temperature gradients in the fluid may result in erratic or inaccurate
flow rate readings.
• The fluid must not cavitate near the flowcell.
Fluids with a high vapor pressure may cavitate near or in the flowcell. This causes problems resulting
from gas bubbles in the fluid. Cavitation can usually be controlled through proper installation
procedures.
• The fluid must not excessively attenuate ultrasound signals.
Some fluids, particularly those that are very viscous, readily absorb ultrasound energy. In such cases,
an E1 error code message appears on the display screen to indicate that the ultrasonic signal strength
is insufficient for reliable measurements.
The AT600 will tolerate relatively large changes in the fluid sound speed, as may be caused by
variations in fluid composition and/or temperature. However, such changes must occur slowly. Rapid
fluctuations in the fluid sound speed, to a value that exceeds the limit programmed into the AT600,
will result in erratic or inaccurate flow rate readings. Refer to Chapter 3, Initial Setup and
Programming, and make sure that the appropriate sound speed limit is programmed into the meter.
The accuracy of the flow rate measurements is no better than the accuracy of the programmed pipe
dimensions. For a flowcell supplied by GE, the correct data will be included in the documentation.
For other flowcells, measure the pipe wall thickness and diameter with the same accuracy desired in
the flow rate readings. Also, check the pipe for dents, eccentricity, weld deformity, straightness and
other factors that may cause inaccurate readings. Refer to Chapter 3, Initial Setup, for instructions on
programming the pipe data.
In addition to the actual pipe dimensions, the path length (P) and the axial dimension (L), based on
the actual transducer mounting locations, must be accurately programmed into the flow meter. For a
GE flowcell, this data will be included with the documentation for the system. If the transducers are
mounted onto an existing pipe, these dimensions must be precisely measured.
• The inside of the pipe or flowcell must be relatively clean.
Excessive buildup of scale, rust or debris will interfere with flow rate measurement. Generally, a thin
coating or a solid well-adhered build up on the pipe wall will not cause problems. Loose scale and
thick coatings (such as tar or oil) will interfere with ultrasound transmission and may result in
incorrect or unreliable measurements.
Chapter 6. Communication
6.1 MODBUS
6.1.1 Introduction
The AT600 flow meter generally follows the standard MODBUS communications protocol defined by the

A.4 General
A.4.1 Wiring Cable Specifications and Requirements
• Cable diameter range for PWR connection: 7 to 12mm, refer to Gland Hole 1 on Figure 24 on page 24
• Cable diameter range for Hart, Modbus and I/O connection: 5 to 8mm, refer to Gland Hole 2,3 and 4 in
Figure 24 on page 24
• Temperature range of cable for PWR, Hart, Modbus and IO connection: 14° to 185°F (-10° to 85°C)
To make a reliable IP67 sealing performance of the enclosure during cabling, the gland must be tightened
well, below torque value is a reference to make a reliable NEMA 4X/IP67 sealing between cable and gland:
• Operation torque for Gland Hole 1 and 5: 2.7 N.M
Note: The instructions in this appendix are also available in BHGE document p/n 714-1418.
C.1.2 Preparation
To ensure a successful firmware update, be prepared for the following:
• Allow about 10 minutes for the firmware update to complete.
• Before starting the firmware update, make sure that the AT600 is in normal measurement mode.
• The AT600 main power must remain ON throughout the firmware update. DO NOT turn the main power
OFF until the firmware update has been completed.
• Because the firmware update uses the AT600 Modbus/Service Port, you must NOT allow any other AT600
Modbus activity during the firmware update.
• During the firmware update, the AT600 will attempt to validate the new firmware image file. At the
end of the update process, if the validation was successful, the AT600 will reboot with the updated
firmware installed. However, if the validation was not successful, the original firmware will still be
installed after the reboot.
Main Menu > Program > Advanced > Flow Meter Data > Main Board > SW Version
SW Version
01.02.23
Note: As indicated on the previous page, the current version of your AT600 firmware must be 01.02.23 or later.
If your version is older than this, you cannot use this update method. Software versions 01.02.24,
01.03.xx, 02.xx.xx are examples of acceptable versions.
4. Click on the COM Port button and enter the specific com port on the PC that is connected to the AT600
Modbus/Service Port.
5. Click on the Open Image File button, and open the BHGE image file to be used for the AT600 firmware
update.
6. Click on the Start To Upgrade button. After verifying that the selected image file and Com port are
correct, click the OK button to start the update process.
7. After the progress bar indicates that the firmware update is 100% complete (about 10 minutes), the
message shown in Figure 38 below will be displayed. Note that the AT600 will automatically reboot in
30 seconds.
8. After the reboot is complete, refer to “Check the Current Firmware Version” on page 184 and confirm
that the new firmware version has been installed. If the original firmware version is still installed,
the AT600 was not able to validate the image file that was used - contact BHGE for assistance.
C.4 Support
If the firmware update was unsuccessful, reboot the AT600 and repeat the procedure described in this
appendix. If there is still a problem, send an email to mstechsupport@ge.com and describe the problem in
detail.
