Description
Pulsar MicroFlow Velocity Sensor accurate and repeatable velocity flow measurement, either as a stand-alone device or as part of a complete area velocity flow meter system.
Velocity x area calculation using MicroFlow provides a cost-effective flow measurement option compared to the installation of a primary measurement device, such as a flume, and provides a viable alternative where the hydraulics of the site do not allow for a restriction in the channel.
Pulsar MicroFlow Velocity Sensor Features
- Operational Cost Saving by high energy cost avoidance, pre-blockage detection, automatic resets and the selection of the most efficient pump
- Capital Cost Saving by combining HMI, PLC, RTU and level control with no costly logic programming
- Remote monitoring of flow and level with picture verification for Compliance
- Modular and expandable to suit simple and complex applications
- With convenience and safety in mind, the power monitor can be mounted away from the ICA section
- Patented Asset Management data calculated by the Ultimate which can be displayed locally and remotely
- Blockage detection
- Pump Reversing
- WITS Procotol
