Mainprobe-V^u RS485 MODBUS

• New for the MainProbe is the Mainstream Adaptive Measurement System (MAMS).  MAMS allows the probe to adapt to the flow conditions in which it is operating, automatically reducing its power consumption where possible. The MAMS system allows the MainProbe to finish a measurement early if a suitable amount of velocity information has been acquired by the sensor.  Thus less power is used to deliver the same accuracy of information
• High sensitivity extends applications to ‘clean’ water
• Sophisticated ultrasound processing ignores spurious signals
• Ultrasound signal quality monitor confirms measurement integrity
• Real-time processing of velocity signals thereby reducing power consumption
• Quick to install – no weirs or flumes
• Powerful, easy to use PC software simplifies commissioning
• Streamlined velocity probe eliminates fouling and reduces flow disturbances
• Distances up to 500 meters from system unit to velocity sensor

MAINPROBE-V^u RS485 MODBUS is a low-power, streamlined ultrasonic flow velocity sensor with a 10 mm/s to 3 m/s bi-directional measurement range and 1 mm/s resolution. The minimum operating depth is 30 mm. The flow velocity measurement is temperature corrected for variations in the speed of sound. Measurements are accessed via an RS485 Modbus RTU interface. MainProbe uses sophisticated ultrasound processing.

Features include measurement on demand and timed measurement refresh, while the Mainstream Adaptive Measurement System adjusts the sensor operation to match the flow conditions. Signal quality indication provides measurement integrity monitoring with velocity histograms and velocity signal capture for diagnostics.
