Atlas Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Price range: £185.00 through £315.00

The Atlas Ultrasonic Flowmeter uses the latest in ultrasonic technology to measure water flow. The technology uses sensors that communicate with each other using ultra-sonic sound that travels through the Flowmeter pipe. This allows for accurate and reliable means to measure flow without any mechanical wear or fatigue. This module, in connection with the UV system, will allow for the UV system to enter Energy Saver Mode by dimming the UV lamp when no water is being used after a period of time. This will reduce energy costs associated with running the UV system, and prevent over heating of standing water in the UV chamber during no-flow conditions. Once water flow is present the UV system immediately exits Energy Saver Mode. The Atlas Ultrasonic Flowmeter incorporates an internal fail-safe in the case any failure occurs to make sure that the UV system is properly treating the water at all times.

When the Flowmeter is connected and active on a UV system, a new flow screen will appear after the home screen. This flow screen will display the current flow rate in the controllers programmed flow-units, the status of the UV lamp (Full Power or Energy Saver Mode) or Flowmeter error.

Each FLOWMETER is calibrated to achieve accurate and reliable flow readings. Re-calibration is not needed annually unlike other mechanical Flowmeters but cleaning is recommended on an annual basis to reduce scaling to maintain accuracy over the device’s lifetime.

Features

  • Allows for power dimming resulting in energy savings and a “greener” technology
  • Accurate flow readings displayed on UV system…..available soon
  • When coupled with UV sensor module (6.1 systems), displays true UV DOSE calculations…..available soon
  • No Mechanical Components
  • No need for annual re-calibration due to component fatigue/wear
  • Doesn’t require periodic maintenance/cleaning
  • Longer lifetime
  • Components are not affected by wear and tear, increasing lifetime
  • Wide Flow Range
  • Able to detect very low and very high flow rates, while maintain accuracy
  • Better Precision
  • Maintains its accuracy throughout its entire life
  • Used in large industrial applications and water metering for its accuracy
  • Flow Sensitivity
  • Able to detect very low flow rates and small changes within the flow rate
  • Secure Fail-safe
  • A Fail-safe mechanism can be implemented in software if blockage or fouling affects the signal reading, as opposed to mechanical flowmeters which require an additional mechanical flow switch to act as a fail-safe mechanism which is still prone to fatigue/wear.

General Conditions for Installation

  • Must be installed on the inlet to the UV chamber only.
  •  Recommended to be installed horizontally. Can be installed vertically, but installation must allow the flowmeter to maintain a full volume state at all times in order to operate.
  • Flowmeter must be orientated with the labelling & LED facing sideways towards the user for proper operation. Depending on the installation, text may be upside down.
  • Direction of water flow is indicated on the top label, as well as the
    Flowmeter spool body.
  • Every Flowmeter requires a length of straight pipe prior to inlet to the Flowmeter. Failure to do so will prevent proper Flowmeter operation.
  • Requires access to wall outlet. Cable is 3 ft long and is recommended that
    it be connected to a GFCI outlet.
  • Requires access to the controllers IEP port or the IEP port on other modules.
  • It is highly recommended that a bypass line is installed around the Flowmeter and the UV chamber. This improves the maintenance ability of the Flowmeter and UV chamber.
  • NPT adapters with union nut and NPT fitting with 2 rubber washers

* Do not install the flow meter or the connection cable close to electric motors, transformers, sparking devices and/or high voltage lines. These devices can induce false signals in the flow meter causing the meter to read inaccurately.
