Section 2 Programming the Module

The following table contains programming information for each
of the conversion types.

2.5 Alternative Flow

Measurement Systems

Because of the characteristics of bubbler flow measurement,
there may be some installations where the bubbler method is
either unreliable or inaccurate. In these instances, it is worth-
while to consider using an alternate method of flow mea-
surement.

In addition to the 730 Module, Teledyne Isco offers three other
types of plug-and-play flow modules in the 700 Series: the 720
Submerged Probe Module, the 710 Ultrasonic Module, and the
750 Area-Velocity Module.

Information about these flow modules is available from the
factory. Call for more information or visit our Web site at
