  Ultrasonic Inline Flow Meters
Brackish Water, River Intake, and Seawater Intrusion Systems Ultrasonic Inline Flow Meters are engineered to elevate water treatment and usage measurement. The ultrasonic inline flow meter module operates as a pulse generating device with corresponding K Factor for accurate flow measurement when connected to commonly used industry controls. Made in USA.
 

Features
• Real-time monitoring allows immediate detection of leaks and water usage irregularities,
 enabling water conservation
• Innovative use of ultrasonic technology uses no moving parts within the water stream to
 increase service life
• Stainless steel construction ensures durability & reliability even in the most demanding environments
• Familiar pulse output mode operation allows meter to be applied to wide variety of control devices
• Meter module can be updated or serviced without removing meter body from plumbing

• Accuracy over an extended period of time
• Less clogging, and less wear and tear
• Passivated surfaces and materials resist scaling
• Highly visible LED flow indicator
• Male threaded inlet adapter for direct mating to treatment control valve
• Boss provided on outlet for drilling/tapping 1/4 inch sample port

On Power Up
LED flashes indicator of power applied and sequence
to show how dip switches are set for meter size.

      # of Flashes     Model   inches  
    1 Flash     QA-FM100 1 inch
    2 Flashes     QA-FM150 1.5 inches
    3 Flashes     QA-FM200 2 inches
    4 Flashes     QA-FM300 3 inches

During Operation
LED flashes as forward flow is sensed within meter. Flashing is proportional to the rate of flow sensed.
Higher flow rate generates higher frequency of flashing.
