New Open Channel Flow Meter

The new electronic unit iSonic 4000, from Badger (Germany), is best suited for for flow measurements in open channels, partially filled pipes and volume easurements of liquids in tanks.

It is possible to connect one level sensor (ultrasonic, pressure, etc.) with a 4-20 mA output to the unit. The unit can be programmed using three front panelpush buttons. The programming menu offers a wide variety of primary flow elements - flumes and weirs, and for others enables the calculation of flow rate in partially filled pipes and angular open channels using the Manning equation. It is also possible to enter the special h/Q flow table, using the PC software “Flow Meter Tool”. This software allows programming of all parameters and also the download of logged data. The users’ PC can be connected via USB interface (IP67 mini USB connector is mounted on the meter housing) or Ethernet interface. The Flow Meter Tool PC software is unique to Badger Meter devices ModMAG M1000, ModMAG M2000, B-MAG I M5000 and iSonic 4000. This feature allows programming and control all addressed devices connected via Ethernet interface within the scope of one facility, from a PC using running the Flow Meter software tool.
