AquaMaster4

Electromagnetic flowmeter transmitter

The ideal flowmeter for potable 
water distribution networks, 
revenue metering and irrigation 
applications

Measurement made easy

Introduction

AquaMaster4 is a high performance electromagnetic 
flowmeter for the measurement of electrically-
conductive fluids and is normally supplied as a 
factory-configured, calibrated system.

This publication provides end-user details for 
AquaMaster4 integral and remote transmitters.
