1.1 Overview
Thank you for purchasing the PanaFlow LC ultrasonic flowmeter. The PanaFlow LC flowmeter is a one, two, or three
channel ultrasonic transit time flowmeter that utilizes clamp on transducers on external pipe surfaces to allow for
uninterrupted flow operation during flow measurement. The PanaFlow LC flowmeter has up to 3 independent
channels. These channels are capable of measuring the flow rate of acoustically conductive single-phase liquid,
which may have limited amount of second phase. With the three channels, the user will have the capability to
average them with equal weights, or with different weights that will better suit the flow profile. The meter is designed
for pipe sizes ranging from ½ in. (15 mm) to 300 in. (7600 mm) with wall thickness up to 4 in. (102 mm) for flow
velocities up to 80 ft/s (25 m/s).
This manual will serve as a guide to install the clamping fixture and transducers necessary for accurate flow
readings, programming the meter, error codes and troubleshooting walk through, and general maintenance and
service recommendations.
