Series DFX Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Meters
measure the flow of liquids that contain sound
reflectors - suspended solids or gas bubbles –
greater than 35 micron size. The DFX software
automatically adjusts filtering parameters and
gain settings so that reliable readings are ensured
over a wide range of liquid and reflector conditions.
DFX is housed in a NEMA 4X (IP-66) enclosure
and is configured by the user via the front panel
keypad. A two-line backlit LCD displays rate and
accumulated flow values in user selected
measuring units. Power supply options include
AC or DC operation and output options include
4-20mA, rate pulse and dual relay.
Two transducer types are available with the
DFX meter. Series DT9 clamp-on, non-intrusive
transducer is recommended for use on most
pipes constructed from metal or plastic. The DT9
is rated to NEMA 6P (IP-68) and has the ability to
work with temperatures up to +400 °F (+200 °C).
Series DP7 insertion probe transducer is available
for installations on pipe systems that do not
permit ultrasound penetration. The DP7 inserts
into the pipe wall and directly contacts the flowing
liquid. Both transducer types can be located up
to 990 feet (300 meters) from the DFX display
enclosure utilizing RG59 coaxial cable. |
