This pressure vessel is intended to measure fluid flow under normal operation. There are no moving parts. The
transmitter will make continuous measurements of the flow along with ancillary inputs of temperature and pressure for
density compensation. The transmitter will output readings through any of several available output options (4-20mA,
pulse out, Modbus, HART, etc.). If any errors occur they will be reported out as well.
1.4.7c Shutdown
While the Sentinel LCT4 is intended for continuous service there are occasions where shutdown is required. There are
