How it works
The AdEM®-PTZ is a solid-state electronic volume conversion module that is directly coupled to the magnetic housing
of the Romet meter body. The AdEM®-PTZ
employs a magnetic sensing device to sense the rotation of the meter’s
outer magnet which produces a high-resolution input that represents the non-converted (UNC - uncorrected)
metered gas volume. The volumetric input pulses are converted to base measurement conditions (COR - corrected)
by compensating for temperature, pressure (live or fixed) and super-compressibility NX-19 or AGA8 or SGERG88 (live
or fixed).

The pressure and temperature correction factors are calculated by the formulas as mentioned in section 8. The
temperature is measured by an RTD or IC (optional) temperature sensor located in the temperature well or inlet
differential port (optional) of the meter. Pressure transducer is mounted inside enclosure of AdEM®-PTZ (¼ inch
NPT connector is available for pressure piping arrangement). The optional external temperature sensor location is
recommended for mating the AdEM®-PTZ module to Romet meter bodies that do not have an internal temperature
well.
Both parameter description and values that are integrated by the algorithms of the AdEM®-PTZ firmware (UNC
volume, COR volume, flow rate, date, time, etc.) are displayed on an 8 digit 14-segment semi alphanumeric liquid
crystal display (LCD).
A non-volatile EEPROM memory stores key parameter values, AdEM®-PTZ setup configuration, temperature sensor
calibration data and Audit Trail data in the event of power loss.
