MC-III™ EXP Flow Analyzer Section 1
Section 1—Introduction
The NuFlo™ MC-III™ EXP Flow Analyzer (Figure 1.1) packs a full spectrum of gas and liquid measurement
functionality, high-speed performance, and log archive and retrieval capabilities in an easy-to-use, explosion-
proof totalizer. Commonly used operations can be accessed from the six-button keypad on the front of the
instrument or from the dynamic interface software, allowing you to calibrate and configure the unit quickly
and easily.
When the MC-III EXP is installed in accordance with the provisions in this manual (
Section 2, page 13
), it is
approved by CSA for use in hazardous areas in Canada and the United States, and meets the ATEX/IECEx
standards for use in hazardous areas worldwide.
Operation
The MC-III EXP calculates and displays instantaneous flow rates and accumulated totals based on a turbine
flowmeter input signal. The MC-III’s microprocessor circuitry counts the pulses generated by a companion
flowmeter, converts that data into volume and rate values in accordance with calibration settings, and displays
the totalized data on a two-line liquid crystal display (LCD). The eight-digit top readout indicates total flow
volume; the six-digit bottom readout indicates flow rate.
