Open Channel Monitoring (OCM)
[6 relay model]
An OCM installation is defined one of three ways, based on the Primary Measuring
Device (PMD):
1.
Dimensional (P600 = 2,3,6,7)
For some common weir and flume types. PMD dimensions (P602) are entered directly.

•
BS-3680 / ISO 4359 Rectangular Flume on page 74
•

•
H Flume on page 76
2.
Exponential (P600 = 1)
For most other weir and flume types. PMD exponents provided by the manufacturer are
entered. Flow is calculated using the exponent (P601) and the maximum values (P603 and
P604).

3.
Universal (P600 = 4,5)
For all other PMDs, the head-to-flow curve can be plotted based on known breakpoints,
usually supplied by the PMD manufacturer.
