MC-III™ Panel Mount Flow Analyzer Section 1
Section 1—Introduction
The NuFlo™ MC-III™ Panel Mount 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 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. The device installs easily in a ¼ DIN panel opening measuring 3.62 in. square.
Operation
The MC-III Panel Mount calculates and displays instantaneous flow rates and accumulated totals based on
a turbine flow meter input signal. The MC-III’s microprocessor circuitry counts the pulses generated by a
companion flow meter, 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.
With the press of a single key, totals are saved to nonvolatile memory, minimizing the risk of data loss even if
a power outage occurs.
Up to 384 daily logs, 768 hourly logs, and 345 event logs can be archived and accessed quickly on demand.
Offering a variety of user-configurable display options, input and output options, RS-485 Modbus
®
compatibility, flow logging, and turbine flow meter linearization, the MC-III Panel Mount is one of the most
versatile totalizers on the market. For specifications, see Table 1.1, page 8 .
