Intuitive Touchscreen Display

The built-in touchscreen is your access to the Flow Computer App featuring a familiar 
user experience similar to our Cypress and Orcas mobile apps . Swipe, tap, scroll, and 
(if needed) use an on-screen keyboard to specify parameters . The display is backlit 
for maximum visibility in darkness or sunlight . 
Preset menus, plain-language dialogs, and intuitive navigation let you easily choose 
from pre-loaded settings . There is little to no programming setup required: simply 
connect power and your Cypress flowmeter, and in seconds the SoundWater Flow 
Computer displays flow measurements in English or metric units .

General Information

Flowmeters

•  Fully isolated (1 .5kV transient; 50VRMS)
•  Multiple TVS protection on output
    – Common mode ESD
      – Series protector on data lines
      – Differential varistor

Pulse/Alarm:

•  Non-isolated
•  Common mode ESD
•  Series protector & short circuit protection

Modbus

•  Analog low pass filter to suppress high frequency interference 

such as static or RFI

•  Digital non-linear filter to suppress out-of-band frequencies and 

mis-timed transitions

•  Fully isolated (1 .5kV transient; 50VRMS)
•  Multiple TVS protection on output:
 

– Common mode ESD

 

– Series protector on data lines

 

– Differential varistor

4-20mA

•  Fully isolated (1 .5kV transient; 50VRMS) 
•  TVS protection

Designed to Withstand Tough Electrical Environments

The Flow Computer was designed with electrical isolation 
and protection to operate in electrically noisy environments . 
Typical industrial environments with high power, pumps, 
VFDs and other large machinery often radiate EMF and 
conduct emissions through pipe and wires that can 

damage electronics and/or corrupt ultrasound or data 
communications . The Flow Computer was fitted with the 
electrical isolations and protections listed below for robust 
operation and protection in noisy environments:
