1.0 PRODUCT DESCRiPTiOn 1.1 Function The 6600 Series is a low cost, Electromagnetic Flowmeter that combines ease of use and reliability to accommodate a wide range of applications. In the standard 6600 Series of Magnetic flowmeters, the SENSOR and the ELECTRONICS form one mechanical entity.
These meters offer an obstructionless, maintenance free alternative to mechanical flow devices. The 6600 series of electromagnetic flowmeters offer the user economical flow monitoring using pulsed DC technology. The design allows quick and easy installation without the need for skilled personnel and is virtually maintenance free.
