PRODUCT MANUAL
F SERIES INLINE FLOW METER

Precise monitoring of water consumption

High Accuracy
Ultrasonic flow meters offer precise measurements across various flow rates and fluids, ensuring reliable data even in challenging conditions.
Non-Invasive
With no need for insertion into the flow path, ultrasonic flow meters minimize pressure drop, eliminate leakage risks, and reduce maintenance, making them versatile for different applications.
Wide Rangeability
Ultrasonic flow meters accurately measure both low and high flow rates, making them suitable for diverse industrial and laboratory settings.
No Moving Parts
Without mechanical components, ultrasonic flow meters ensure long-term reliability and low maintenance costs, contributing to their durability and stability.

Accurate measurement of water usage is crucial for various reasons, playing a pivotal role in sustainable water resource management and conservation efforts. Precise monitoring of water consumption enables efficient identification of leaks, promotes responsible water use, and facilitates fair billing practices. Additionally, as global water scarcity becomes an increasing concern, accurate measurement becomes essential for informed decision-making and the development of effective water conservation strategies. Reliable water usage data is vital for businesses, utilities, and individuals to better understand consumption patterns, allocate resources effectively, and promote a more sustainable and equitable distribution of freshwater resources. 

Ultrasonic technology offers numerous benefits over traditional measurement methods. Ultrasonic water meters utilize sound waves to measure the flow of water, eliminating the need for moving parts and minimizing wear and tear. This not only enhances the meter’s durability and longevity but also ensures accuracy over an extended period. The non-intrusive nature of ultrasonic sensors reduces the risk of clogging and maintenance issues, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, ultrasonic technology allows for real-time monitoring, enabling immediate detection of leaks or irregularities in water usage, contributing to rapid response and efficient water management. 

Application of water meters is expanding and finding uses in diverse sectors. Beyond billing and conservation in residential areas, water meters are increasingly employed in industry, agriculture, and smart city initiatives. Industries benefit from accurate water usage data for process optimization, regulatory compliance, and sustainability reporting. In agriculture, precise water measurement aids in optimizing irrigation practices, conserving water resources, and maximizing crop yield. The integration of water meters into smart city infrastructure enables real-time monitoring and data driven decisions for efficient urban environments. As technology advances and awareness of water conservation grows, the versatility of water meters in diverse applications is likely to continue expanding. 

SPECIFICATIONS

The F Series inline flow meters are engineered to elevate water treatment and usage measurement. Composed of stainless steel construction and no internal moving parts, these flow meters ensure durability and reliability even in the most demanding environments. 

The F Series meter module operates as a pulse generating device with corresponding “K Factor” for accurate flow measurement when connected to commonly used industry controls. 

*UPC recommends that water velocity within plumbed systems should not exceed 8 ft/sec. 

DIMENSIONS AND IDENTIFICATION

ON POWER UP:
LED flashes indicator of power applied and sequence to show how dip switches are set for meter size.

1 Flash F311 1”
2 Flashes F314 1 ½”
3 Flashes F315 2”
4 Flashes F317 3”

DURING OPERATION:
LED flashes as forward flow is sensed within meter. Flashing is proportional to the rate of flow sensed.
IE: Higher flow rate produces higher frequency
of flashing.
