1.1 Software versions
For all GDC devices, the "Electronic Revision" (ER) is consulted to document the revision status
of the electronics according to NE 53. It is easy to see from the ER whether any fault repairs or
major changes to the electronic equipment have taken place and what effect they have had on
compatibility.
Changes and effect on compatibility
1.2 Intended use
This signal converter IFC 070 has been designed to be combined with a WATERFLUX 3000 water
meter or with an OPTIFLUX 2000 flow sensor, for measuring potable water and water with
suspended particles.
This device features not only accurate flow measurement, but also continuous diagnostics in
accordance with applicable standards. This self-diagnosis monitors and automatically reports
improper functioning of the electronics, or faulty sensor electrodes. It reports battery charge
condition and even provides a cable-break alarm.

CAUTION!
The OPTIFLUX 2070 and the WATERFLUX 3070 are different instruments with different software.
The difference lies in the Electronic Revision number, which can be found on a sticker on the
IFC 070 electronics. The electronics are therefore not compatible with each other!
