- The essential steps to configuring an HVFlo XCi device
Before an HVFlo XCi device can be used, it must be "configured" for operation. This entails a knowledge of
the field application and what you wish to measure.
For example, if you wish to measure flow rate in a partially-full pipe and totalise that flow, four parameters
(known as "
Channels
" in an XCi), will need to be added and configured:
l
Velocity channel
- The velocity of the stream flow in the pipe must be measured
l
Depth channel
- The depth of the stream flow through thepipe must be measured
l
Flowrate (using velocity) channel - The flow rate of the stream is calculated from the measured
velocity and multiplying by the cross-sectional area of the pipe (calculated from the depth of the
stream and the pipe size)
l
Total channel - The total is calculated by multiplying the flow rate, by a time period
With a knowledge of the application and what parameters need to be measured, the XCi device can be
configured for use in a few simple steps. The procedure is structured in a logical sequence so that the device
is configured in the correct order.
