• Compact, self-powered, and easy to use
• USB communication option available
• User programmable start and stop alarms, engineering units, and field calibration setup
• No confined space entry is required for sensor deployment
• User-friendly flow monitoring software that is compatible with all Windows-based operating systems
• Wet-wet transducer eliminates vent tube concerns
• Automatic barometric pressure and temperature compensation
The FL16 Water Flow Logger's vented water flow sensor is fully encapsulated with marine-grade epoxy. The water flow sensor's electronics are encapsulated so moisture will never leak in through O-ring seals or work its way into the vent tube and cause drift or sensor failure. The vent tube is sealed directly to the wet-wet sensing element.
FL16 Water Flow Logger's user-friendly Windows-based software is explicitly tailored for calculating water flows in partially filled sewer and drainage pipes using Manning's Equation, with pull-down menus for selecting and entering the necessary information. The Water Flow Logger software has a unique calibration feature that allows users to view calculated water velocity, compare this to actual measured data, and adjust the water flow parameters to calibrate for the water flow conditions of a specific application. Water flow equations for over 40 standard flumes and weirs and user-definable custom lookup tables are provided, which can convert water level to flow for virtually any application.
Water flow equations for over 40 standard flumes and weirs and user-definable custom lookup tables are provided, which can convert water level to flow for virtually any application. Once configured, all set up and water flow parameters are stored in the Water Flow Recorder's memory and are uploaded to the software automatically upon connection. This information can also be saved to a file for later use, allowing Water Flow Recorders to be deployed in multiple locations without the need to re-enter the water flow parameters each time the Water Flow Recorders are moved. The Water Flow Recorders operate on two standard 9-volt batteries, which they monitor so you are never caught off guard with dead batteries. A third onboard lithium battery ensures your data will be safe if you cannot change the 9V batteries before they fail. An optional protective housing includes hardware for mounting the Water Flow Recorders to a maintenance hole step or other structure and also allows for easy installation and replacement in the field.
