Page 6: Introduction
Introduction Congratulations! You purchased the easiest to use and most complete compressed air measurement tool in the world. With the VPFlowScope M, you can monitor flow, pressure, temperature, and total air consumption, simultaneously. The optional data logger enables you to record all 4 parameters. -
Page 7: Product Overview
Product overview VPFlowScope M transmitter Meet the transmitter, the 'brains' of the VPFlowScope M. The transmitter is one part of the VPFlowScope M which needs to be combined with a VPSensorCartridge and a safety system. The transmitter features various outputs. Modbus, 4..20 mA, pulse, USB, Ethernet, alarm are all standard. -

VPSensorCartridge Configuration The VPFlowScope M needs only one step to be ready for basic operation. It needs to know the exact inner pipe diameter for accurate measurement, wrong inner diameter will lead to very significant misreadings. The pipe diameter can be programmed with the keypad on the display module, via the built-in Web interface or with the VPStudio configuration software. -

Page 13: Mechanical Installation
VPInstruments hot tap saddle can be used. Use a 1/2" full bore ball valve to insert and retract the VPFlowScope M when you want. Warning: Make sure that the hole is at least 16 mm | 0.63 inch, and completely clear for insertion. - Page 14 VPFlowScope M Installation procedure Insertion depth Generally the insertion depth of the VPFlowScope M is 0.5 times the inner pipe diameter, where the bottom of the sensor tip must be in the middle of the pipe (see picture). Position Install the VPFlowScope M upwards in an angle between 1 and 2 o'clock (see picture).

VPFlowScope M. The upstream length is the length between the last non-straight object and the VPFlowScope M. If the upstream length is straight, and the distortion is downstream of the VPFlowScope M, you can use the column "downstream length" as a guideline. In very complex situations, with multiple up- and downstream objects, you should consider another location. -

These voltage drops have to be taken into account when designing and implementing the electrical installation. The VPFlowScope M continuously monitors available input voltage and will automatically turn into power save mode when the supply voltage drops below 11.8 Volt. For maximum power reliability under all circumstances, we recommend to use 24 VDC. -
