Portaflow 220
Technical Datasheet
Description
Utilising advanced DSP technology, the
Portaflow 220 (PF220) is the latest portable
flow measurement and recording system to be
added to the Micronics range of equipment.
The PF220 can display instantaneous fluid flow
rates or velocity, together with totalised values.
A variable current or pulse output, proportional
to the detected flow rate, is also produced by the
PF220 to enable it to interface with a range of
external control devices such as those found in
building management or site monitoring
systems.
The PF220 is very much designed with ‘ease of
use’ in mind. An interactive QuickStart menu,
which simplifies system installation at any
suitable location, together with minimal set-up
requirements, means that the system can be installed and brought into service very quickly. Furthermore, the application
parameters for a particular site can be saved to non-volatile memory and instantly recalled if a site is revisited for monitoring at a
later time – further reducing the set-up time.
The flow sensors, or transducers, connected to the PF220 instrument are attached to the outside of the pipe being monitored and
provide totally non-invasive flow measurement without disturbing the existing plant equipment or process operation.
Application benefits: Standard features:
• Non-invasive installation – the process operation being
monitored is in no way interrupted or otherwise
affected by the use of this equipment
• Simple installation – there is no overhead for additional
fittings, plant modification, or retro-fit expenditure
• Zero fluid contact – no contamination risks of the
process fluid and possible exposure of the monitoring
equipment to corrosive or toxic liquids
• Light-weight, hand-held instrument with large, easy to
read graphic display and switchable backlighting
• Flow range 0.1m/sec to 20m/sec bi-directional
• Useable with pipes ranging 13mm - 1000mm outside
diameter (depending on model)
• Operator selectable language
• Simple to follow dual function keypad
• Simple ‘Quick Start’ set up procedure
• Continuous flow monitoring, with ‘Totalised’ option
• Variable Pulse output proportional to flowrate
• Variable 4-20mA, 0-20mA or 0-16mA output
proportional to flowrate, with simple range calibration
• Rechargeable battery with up to 20hrs continuous
battery operation depending on load
• Mains/battery operation with battery charge
management
• Diagnostics
