TM
The Smith Meter Model Universal Pulse Transmitter
(UPT) is an infra-red, quad-channel, high-resolution pulse
generator driven by the output shaft of a positive displace-
ment meter. It provides high-integrity pulse transmission
and verification of signal and power for custody transfer
measurement applications.

Features
Dual-Pulse (Quadrature) Output for signal integrity
checking and direction sensing.
Complementary Pulse Output for power check.
Verification Pulse (Pulse per Revolution) for inde-
pendently checking signal transmission. Universal Pulse Transmitter (UPT)

tity, typically between 0 and 100, alarm functions built into
the comparator device will be actuated when used with
Principle of Operation appropriate receiving equipment.
Complementary Pulse Output
The UPT Transmitter incorporates a state-of-the-art infra-
red emitter coupled through a rotating disk to a receiver The dual (A and B) complementary pulse output provides
array. This guarantees pulse tracking capability as the a check to compatible instrumentation for power off con-
infra-red emitter ages. The array detects the passage of ditions. With electrical power to the UPT Transmitter, the
slots on the disk, supplying the information to an applica- logic on voltage and frequency of A and B will be a
tion-specific integrated circuit board that converts them,
by means of the self-contained electronic circuitry, into
positive square wave output signals. Circuit design is such
that the high-resolution pulse signals generated are ap-
proximately 90 degrees electrically out of phase. The pulse
trains are compatible with all Smith MeterTM electronics. A Etc.
As a normal function of the array, a verification pulse
output is generated to provide one pulse per revolution of
the input shaft.

CAUTION: To prevent ignition of hazardous atmo-
spheres, disconnect from supply circuit before open-
ing. Keep tightly closed when circuits are in opera-
tion.
A) A female NPT conduit thread entry is provided on the
housing. The entry will have a thread protector that
must be removed. A minimum of 12 inches of flexible
conduit and a conduit union fitting should be used to
join the housing to rigid conduit. This will facilitate later
removal and replacement of the UPT Transmitter.
Important: Cut shield back to insulation and tape. Termi-
nate shield at receiving instrument.
B) Double check all field wire connections before opera-
tion. Incorrect wiring may damage or destroy the cir-
cuitry in the UPT Transmitter.

A) Cable entry must be in accordance to EN 50018:2000
Section 13.1. For systems utilizing cable glands, the
gland and/or the thread adaptor must be EEx certi-
fied. The cable end must be securely installed and,
depending on the cable type, be properly protected
from mechanical damage.
B) Conduit entry must be in accordance to EN
50018:2000 Section 13.2. For systems utilizing con-
duit, an EEx certified sealing device must be used
immediately at the entrance of the enclosure.
