Description
TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL
Our Flow Data Logger provides a user-friendly touchscreen logger to both new and old flow meter installations. Flow trends show recent flows in 1hr and 4hr increments. Flow totals for Today, Yesterday, Month, Previous Month, and Year to Date are prominently displayed. Minimum, maximum and average flow totals for the last 365 days can be easily accessed right through the touchscreen. Settings are quick and intuitive.
RETROFIT KIT
This unit is provided with a pre-wired terminal strip including a 24VDC power supply that can be wired to an existing flow meter in about half an hour. The whole assembly can fit within the footprint of a chart recorder.
EASY DATA ACCESS
Flow trends and totals can be accessed directly from the SD memory card or through communications ports using a laptop connected locally to the unit. The cellular modem allows the data can be accessed remotely.
Daily flow values and totals are accessible as data tables that can be exported easily to Excel. Monthly Excel flow reports are generated internally as a month progresses and can be downloaded at any time. Up to 60 months of Excel flow reports can be kept and retrieved from the SD card. The last 365 days of daily flow information is kept on the SD memory card.
Flow data for every minute can be retrieved from the SD card and exported to Excel for analysis and trending.
