In order to set up and obtain readings from your application using the MicroFlow ,
it is advised to do this using a Pulsar controller.
Measuring streamflow / open channel flow.
The calculation of flow using Area x Velocity is only possible when the
MicroFlow sensor is used as part of an integrated system with either FlowCERT
or Ultimate Controllers.
The calculation for the determination of discharge/flow in open channels consists
of different factors:
•
Velocity of the liquid in the channel.
•
Depth of the liquid in the channel.
•
Cross sectional channel dimensions.
The flow is then calculated using the formula Q = V x A(h)
Where: Q = Flow rate
V = Velocity
A(h) = Area at head
Once the controller and the MicroFlow have been powered up, you can now begin
to program the controller to work effectively with the MicroFlow device.
On the Velocity Interface and the FlowCERT, the display provides different levels
of runtime information and a simple, progressive menu system in program mode.
On the Ultimate Controller you are able to allocate up to 2 AUX displays to show
different levels of run time information
