FLOW-meter
Manual Version 1.0
Introduction
The FLOW-meter measures the fuel consumption of models with turbine, which are made
available for transmission on the telemetry return channel of the respective remote control
system. The model pilot is thus always informed about the current consumption / tank level.
Depending on the remote control system, alarm thresholds (reserve, turbine OFF) can be set in
the transmitter or in the FLOW-meter. The consumption / tank level can reseted via a separate
servo channel - so displaying the actual consumption / tank level would not be a problem even
after a so-called "taxi tank" has been disconnected after the start phase.
With Jeti, HoTT and PowerBox, the FLOW-meter settings can be made directly from the
transmitter, with all other remote control systems using a micro SD card.
The VSpeak FLOW-meter is available in 4 versions:
FLOW-meter 1.0
for turbines up to 180N
FLOW-meter 1.6
for turbines up to 300N
FLOW-meter 3.0
for turbines with an integrated pump or > 300N
FLOW-meter E
without sensor, for customer flow sensor.
Since the electronics of the FLOW-meter has an easy-to-use calibration function, it is also
offered in the "FLOW-meter E" variant
without
a sensor, for any sensor that may already be
provided by the customer, which provides a digital output signal as an NPN open collector.
This is the case with a large number of
For the fuel connections, you can choose between Festo push-in fittings for 4 or 6 mm hose -
or Festo screw nipples for 6 mm hose. We recommend screw nipples "in suction mode" - on
the suction side of the pump.
