Page 3: Checklist
Use the checklist to ensure that you have received everything needed to operate the Flow Probe. III. Description The Global Water Flow Probe is a rugged and highly accurate water velocity instrument for measuring flows in open channels and partially filled pipes. The water velocity probe consists of a protected... -
Page 4: General Instructions
Point the propeller directly into the flow you wish to measure. Face the arrow inside the propeller housing downstream. The FP111 probe handle is a two-piece rod expandable from approximately 3’ to 6’, the FP211 is a three-section rod expandable from 5’ to 15’, the FP311 is a shorter version of the FP211 from 2.5’... - Page 5 Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com c. To extend battery life, a low power mode is incorporated that will take effect after 5 minutes of inactivity. If the propeller is stopped and none of the pushbuttons are pressed for 5 minutes, this mode will take effect and the velocity displays will go blank.

Page 6: Average Velocity
Unlike other types of water velocity measuring devices, the Global Water’s Flow Probe propeller’s protective housing will channel the water parallel to flow and help to eliminate errors caused by improperly measuring velocity vectors not parallel to flow. - Page 7 Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com The Flow Probe can be used in three ways to determine average velocity in a stream. a. For small streams and pipes, the probe can be moved slowly and smoothly throughout the flow during average velocity measurements.

The MODE button toggles the upper display between average velocity minimum, maximum and timer. The label next to this display changes to correctly indicate which parameter is shown. - Page 10 Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com last reset. Press the RESET button when beginning to take any new measurement. Save to Memory When the SAVE button is pressed, the save data screen is displayed and the function of the buttons is changed. In this mode, the averaging and accumulation of minimum and maximum values is halted.
