System Overview and Operation
The FlowShark Pulse is a long-term monitoring system designed for flow
measurement, flow control (Model 20 transmitters only), data storage, and (optional)
remote access via TCP/IP communication. This device primarily is designed for use
in slightly- to heavily-polluted flow of various compositions. It can function in
partially-filled and full pipes of various shapes and dimensions.
The method for measuring flow velocity is based on the ultrasonic
reflection principle. Therefore, to ensure the system operates properly, it
is essential that particles, such as dirt, gas bubbles, or similar objects,
are present in the flow for reflecting the ultrasonic signal sent by the
sensor.
