Flow meter Types
The flow meter automatically conditions Installation Menu choices to suit the selected meter
type. The following illustrates the 2-Channel and 2-Path flow meter types.
2-Channel
Dual Channel provides two independent measurement channels that operate
simultaneously. Depending on the specific model, Dual Channel supports: Clamp-on Transit-
time, In-line Transit-time and Reflexor.
