    AquaProbe II

    Transmitters

    AquaProbe II is an economic alternative to full bore metering


    and has been designed for worldwide needs. It comprises an
    electromagnetic sensing head mounted on the end of a
    support rod. This whole assembly can be installed in existing
    pipelines without the need for the major excavations or
    alterations to pipework associated with full bore meters. It can
    also be fitted without interruption to the flow and can be easily
    removed for periodic calibration or inspection, or inserted at a
    second location through the provision of tappings and valves
    on the supply pipelines.

    The transmitter provides a comprehensive display of all flow


    data including forward and reverse flow totals, flow rate,
    pressure, time/date etc. If all the data is not required, the
    transmitter is easily configured to only display the required
    values, thus ensuring simple reading with no superfluous
    data. The two standard pulse outputs (forward and reverse
    flow direction) are compatible with the wide range of
    dataloggers used in the water industry world wide.

    Key features are the wide flow range, with minimum velocities
    well below insertion turbine or DP devices, and no moving
    parts, resulting in increased reliability and reduced
    maintenance. The AquaProbe meets the widest variety of site
    requirements and applications, from permanent monitoring
    through to site surveying.
    The AquaProbe is designed for installation in existing pipelines
    by means of a small valved tapping. It is normally installed with
    the sensing head on the pipe centre-line, but may be located at
    the critical position (the mean velocity position) a distance of
    18 of the diameter away from the wall.
    It provides an accurate local measurement of the water
    velocity and, provided the flow profile is fully developed, a good
    flow volume measurement.
    If the profile is not fully developed a traverse of the pipe can be
    carried out which enables an accurate flow volume
    measurement to be obtained in non-ideal networks.

    The transmitter is fully submersible, thus enabling it to be


    locally mounted in chambers which are liable to flooding or
    alternatively up to 200m (650 ft) remote from the probe to
    facilitate ease of reading.
    AquaProbe II is the ideal solution for locations where there is
    no external power. Two user-replaceable internal batteries
    provide a 21/2 year battery life to eliminate the high cost of
    providing a mains supply to the meter.
    A unique Battery Management System gives >1 year
    replacement window for individual batteries and eliminates
    flat battery interruption to flow measurement.
    The alternative a.c.-powered meter has optional battery
    backup to ensure no loss of flow measurement during power
    down periods.
