AquaProbe FEA100 / FEA200

Electromagnetic flowmeter
Insertion-type flow sensors

Maximum performance,
minimum hassle

Introduction

The AquaProbe FEA100 / FEA200 flow sensor is 
designed for measurement of the velocity of water. The 
flow sensor is available in four standard lengths and can 
be installed in any pipeline of internal diameter from 200 
mm (8 in.) to 8000 mm (360 in.), through a small 
tapping.

The flow sensor is designed for use in survey 
applications such as leakage monitoring and network 
analysis and in permanent locations where cost or space 
limitations preclude the use of conventional closed pipe 
meters.

This User Guide provides installation, connection, 
security, start-up and basic setup details for the flow 
sensor only. The AquaProbe sensor is available for 
operation with either a WaterMaster transmitter (FET100) 
or an AquaMaster3 transmitter (FET200).
