Instru Q-FP 201 

Handheld Ultrasonic Flowmeter

-1-

1. Introduction

§ 1.1 Preface

Welcome

to the   ultrasonic flowmeter that has been manufactured

with patent technologies and is equipped with more functions and advanced

performance than our previousversions.

The ultrasonic flowmeter has been upgraded based on the previous ultrasonic

flowmeter which is still the main productline of the company. The new Version

retains most of the excellent featuresand functions of the previous versions:

the pulse measurement technology, the ultrasonic igniting and the small signal

receiving circuits etc. The main improvements are made on the battery supply

circuit and on the transmitting circuits. All other circuits are simply integratedinto

this new version without major modifications, due to the fact that we have already

applied the most advanced measurement technologies and attained a more

reliable model of ultrasonic flow meter.

Q-FP 201 flowmeter incorporates the latest ICs manufactured from the famous

semiconductor manufacturers like Philips, Maxim, TI, Winbond, and Xilinx.

Thehardware features the ease of operation, high accuracy and outstanding

reliability,while the software provides a very friendly user interface and much

more functions.lt employs a patent balanced lower voltage multi-pulse igniting

circuit whichincreases the anti-interference ability magnificently so that the

flow meter will work properly even in demanding industrial environments such

as those with power frequency transverter working nearby.

Other outstanding features:

- ---the signal receiving circuits feature self-adapting performance so as to

ensure that the user can easily operate the instrument without any

adjustment.

- ---the built-in rechargeable Ni-H battery can work continuously for more

than 12 hours without recharging.

The advanced circuit design, the integration of the latest semiconductors, the

user-friendly software interface both in English and Chinese languages and

small-sized PCB board, all these features combine to make the Q-FP 201

ultrasonic flowmeter the 

best

and the biggest seller on the Chinese market.

Moreover, it is gaining more and more recognition on the international flow

meter market.
