Features
Data protection
● All data stored in an EEPROM. Totalizers 1 and 2 are backed up every 10 min., statistic
every hour and power consumption and temperature measurement every 4 hours.
● Password protection of all parameters and hardware protection of calibration and revenue
parameters.
Battery power management
● Optimal battery information on remaining capacity.
● Calculated capacity includes all consuming elements and available battery capacity is
adjusted related to change in ambient temperature.
Diagnostic
● Continuous self test including
– Coil current to drive the magnetic field
– Signal input circuit
– Data calculation, handling and storing
● Features
– Alarm statistics and logging for fault analyzing
– Electrode impedance to check actual media contact
– Flow simulation to check pulse and communication signal chain for correct scaling
– Number of sensor measurements (excitations)
– Transmitter temperature (battery capacity calculation)
– Low impedance alarm for change in media
– Flow alarm when defined high flow exceeds
– Insulation test
– Verification mode for fast measure performance check
● Advanced version includes
– Leakage detection
– Consumption profile
– Flow statistic
Insulation test
Test of signal immunity against disturbances and poor installations. Test interval is selectable
and measurement is interrupted during the test period of 4 min. The last flow value is used for
totalization.
Leakage detection (Advanced version only)
Monitoring the lowest flow or volume during selected time window within 24 hours. Leakage is
detected over a selectable period during which monitored values exceed the possible leakage
level. Min. and max. values are stored with date registration. Last store value visible on the
display.
