1.1 Overview

Thank you for purchasing the PanaFlow HT ultrasonic flowmeter. PanaFlow HT is a wetted ultrasonic flow meter that
is SIL certified (IEC61508 pending) by design to give you confidence in your flow measurement and to provide
reliable flow meter operation for both safety and process control systems. In addition to the peace of mind that SIL
certification brings, PanaFlow HT also has all the advantages of ultrasonic flow measurement over other traditional
technologies-no measurement drifting, no periodic calibration requirement, no restriction in the pipe, minimal pressure
drop, no maintenance, and no moving parts.
The PanaFlow HT consists of the new XMT900 electronics, the field proven BWT transducers system, FTPA buffers
and a meter body. It is available in both a local or remote mount configuration based on convenience and process
temperature requirements.
