Overview

The MSFM Sewer Flow Monitor is a versatile Ultrasonic Doppler Flow measurement system, ideal for use in open channels or partially-filled pipes. It is certified to ATEX/IEC Ex Zone 1.

It offers accurate monitoring of raw sewage, industrial effluents and storm waters, with automatic GPRS data retrieval as standard and worldwide usage capabilities. The additional standard input accepts the an Ultrasonic Level Sensor for storm overflow monitoring or PTI Pressure-Depth Sensor.

Technical
