Portaflow 330
Technical Datasheet
Description
Utilising advanced DSP technology, the
Portaflow 330 (PF330) is the latest portable
flow measurement and recording system to be
added to the Micronics range of equipment.
The PF330 can display instantaneous fluid flow
rates or velocity, together with totalised values. It
also incorporates a data logger that can record
up to 98k events which can be output directly to
a PC or printer or stored in the instrument’s
memory for downloading at a later time.
A variable current or pulse output, proportional
to the detected flow rate, is also produced by the
PF330 to enable it to interface with a range of
external control devices such as those found in
building management or site monitoring
systems.
The PF330 is very much designed with ‘ease of use’ in mind. An interactive QuickStart menu, which simplifies system installation at
any suitable location, together with minimal set-up requirements, means that the system can be installed and brought into service
very quickly. Furthermore, the application parameters for a particular site can be saved to non-volatile memory and instantly
recalled if a site is revisited for monitoring at a later time – further reducing the set-up time.
The flow sensors, or transducers, connected to the PF330 instrument are attached to the outside of the pipe being monitored and
provide totally non-invasive flow measurement without disturbing the existing plant equipment or process operation.
Application benefits: Standard features:
• Non-invasive installation – the process operation being
monitored is in no way interrupted or otherwise
affected by the use of this equipment
• Simple installation – there is no overhead for additional
fittings, plant modification, or retro-fit expenditure
• Zero fluid contact – no contamination risks of the
process fluid and possible exposure of the monitoring
equipment to corrosive or toxic liquids
• Light-weight, hand-held instrument with large, easy to
read graphic display and switchable backlighting
• Flow range 0.1m/sec to 20m/sec bi-directional
• Two types of transducer sets supplied for use with
pipes ranging 13mm - 2000mm outside diameter
• 10 selectable operating languages
• Simple to follow dual function keypad
• Simple ‘Quick Start’ set up procedure
• Continuous flow monitoring, with ‘Totalised’ option
• Data logging with up to 98k stored data points
• Data logging can be controlled manually or set-up for
timed operation, allowing unattended operation
• Logged data can be viewed as text or graphically, with
the ability to scroll to any stored event
• RS232/USB outputs for downloading data logger
contents to PC. Live data logging also available at these
outputs
• Pulse output, 4-20mA, 0-20mA or 0-16mA output with
simple range calibration
• Rechargeable battery with up to 20hrs continuous
battery operation depending on load
• Mains/battery operation with battery management
