Atec GE-Sensing-Tech-PT878 - Manual (Page 4)

The core of the kit includes the PT878 electronics, along with a power charger
with North American, European, or United Kingdom power cable.
A variety of transducer kits are available to handle a wide range of
applications. Selection is based on pipe size and temperature range. More
transducers can be added to the kit by ordering separately if the desired
combination is not available as part of a standard kit.
The PT878 comes standard with a soft sided carrying case. Made from
lightweight, durable nylon, this case is excellent for everyday use.
The PT878 offers an optional hard case when durability is more important. This
is ideal for traveling and shipping purposes, or in environments where nylon
bags are not suitable.
Knowing the wall thickness of your pipe is critical to ensuring your meter
provides the best possible accuracy. Wall thickness on standard pipe can vary
up to 13%. The PT878 comes standard with the ability to measure pipe wall
thickness. This requires the use of a thickness gage that plugs directly into the
transducer ports. There is no need for a separate device.
Select option code — TG.
Measuring energy usage in buildings is increasing in importance. The PT878
can measure energy by using the optional 4-wire, 1000 Ohm RTDs with
integrated transmitters to spot check applications and test existing meters
monitoring the line.
Select option code — E
A variety of clamping fixtures are available to simplify attaching the
transducers to the pipe. Transducers are integrated into the small pipe
transducers up ot 2” lines. For larger pipes, the transducers ship with clamps
that range up to 24” pipes. For pipes up to 48”, a larger pipe clamp is available
with chains. If all the pipes are made from carbon steel, magnetic clamping
fixtures may be the best option for fast setup.
Select option code — C48 for large clamping fixtures.
Order MC style clamping fixtures for magnetic fixtures.
The PT878 uses an IR port to transfer data between the unit and a PC. If your
PC or laptop does not have an IR port, you need an IR adapter. We offer one
that will plug into a USB port.
Select option code — IR

The PT878 can output data to a data acquisition system to act as a temporary
replacement for a failed permanent meter or to provide a temporary
monitoring point. An input/output cable will be necessary to provide 4-20 mA
or pulse outputs from the PT878.
Select option code — IO
