Heath Volume Corrector (HVC) Overview
The HVC 325 is a microprocessor based, self-contained system designed for the purpose of performing
ideal gas law calculations using integral pressure, temperature and volume sensing devices.
HVC Features
• Intrinsically safe: Class I Div I Group D (without internal modem)
• Single Alkaline “D” battery provides power for up to 4 years
• Single Lithium “AA” Backup battery will provide 100% operation for up to 1 year after main
battery is depleted
• Measures & records pressure and temperature sensors every meter revolution or every min
(programmable)
• Continuous LCD defaults to Corrected Volume. Scrolling allows Uncorrected Volume, Pressure,
Gas Temperature, Correction Factor, Main and Lithium Battery Voltage, as well as any active
Alarm to be displayed.
• Non-volatile Flash memory saves Calibration, Transducer Coefficients Configuration & Site info
if all power is lost
• Profiler data recording- Circular log: 130 days/hourly: Time/ Corrected/ Uncorrected/ Ave
Pressure/ Ave Gas Temperature
• Event Log (Records alarms & configuration changes)
• System Alarms (H/L Press, H/L Temp, main and lithium backup battery)
• Contract Usage Alarms (High Day/ Warning Month/ High Month)
• Contract Management (Nomination/ Allocation)
• All alarms can be reset via scroll button (No laptop needed)
• Call out upon alarm
• Remote Communications Ready (External Direct port & Internal Remote RS232’s)
• Multi-Drop to several instruments from one modem (Up to 62)
• Previous Month Total Volumes (Uncor & Corr) can be displayed on LCD
• Max Day Volume “total” & Date stamp of Max Day can be displayed on LCD (Max Day can be
reset via scroll button)
• Protocols included: Sandia (Native)/ Modbus RTU or ASCII
• Pulse Outputs (Uncorrected & Corrected)
• Units of measure (PSIA, KPA, BAR Deg. F/ Deg. C)
• Reliable Falling magnet/ Reed switch input
• Index uses all brass miter gears that are easily reversible for CW & CCW meter direction
• HVC Firmware can be upgraded via PC
• IP64, Aluminum, Powder coated paint over chromate surface prep, lockable stainless steel hasp
closure (Saltwater spray tested)
