Flownetix 110v3 - 10mm bore ultrasonic flowmeterThe replacement for the 125v2 is available with flexible output options for general purpose flow measurement and configurable by distributors 
Applications
The Flownetix 100series uses innovative ultrasonic technology to provide a non-invasive flow meter at low cost. The meters have no moving parts so it cannot clog or jam due to contaminants in the flow. In addition, the unit features automatic temperature and viscosity compensation and low pressure drop.
The Flownetix 110v3 replaces the popular Flownetix 125v2 and is now labelled for its bore size rather than flow range.
The 100series products are now manufactured in our high volume production facility in Southern China that is already producing the award winning Flownetix 300series® range of consumer water meters. This allows for high quality, high volume manufacture.
The products have been completely retooled and the electronics redeveloped based on customer feedback to produce a lower cost, higher volume and more flexible product for end customers, OEMs and distributors.
Flownetix 100v3 products are available with two electronics options. The "A" versions incorporate a simple NPN pulse output with 1000 pulses per litre by default and is the lowest cost. The "B" version adds a voltage and current output as well as a pull-up type pulse output. Both versions incorporate the same serial interface as used on the 300series® which can be used by OEM, volume and distribution customers to configure output scaling and other features allowing for larger and more flexible stock holding.
Measurement principle
The instrument utilizes an ultrasonic transit time in-line flow cell:
Sound transmitted upstream is accelerated by the flow, sound transmitted downstream is decelerated. The resulting time difference is proportional to flow and converted by a microcontroller into an output signal.
The 100series® products are low cost alternatives to mechanical meters and suitable for use in many applications where reliability or performance improvements over mechanical solutions are required. High volume production techniques enable the Flownetix® 100series® to be manufactured for the largest demands. OEMs and high volume users can customize output types, plastic materials and cases to their own application.
