New ultrasonic water meter for instantaneous measurements<br />
Announcing the launch<br />
of a battery-powered<br />
ultrasonic water meter intended<br />
for measuring f<strong>low</strong> rate<br />
instantaneously and p<strong>res</strong>sure<br />
and consumption in water<br />
piping (standard EN 14154 for<br />
water works), water distribution<br />
systems and other industrial<br />
applications. The compact, highly<br />
accurate ELIS FLOMIC FL5024 has<br />
long-term stability over a wide<br />
range of measured values, and<br />
conforms to the IP68* protection<br />
class. The meter does not need<br />
any external power supply, does<br />
not include any moving parts and<br />
has significantly <strong>low</strong>er hydraulic<br />
losses. The technical parameters<br />
and other featu<strong>res</strong> of the FLOMIC<br />
water meter make it suitable<br />
not only for water consumption<br />
measurements but also for waterleak<br />
tracking and monitoring of<br />
the general condition of watersupply<br />
networks where the meter<br />
output signals can be connected<br />
via data transfer systems to<br />
remote computer control stations.<br />
The measurement method<br />
utilised by these meters is a singlebeam<br />
transit-time pulse method,<br />
based on evaluation of the time<br />
needed for an ultrasonic signal<br />
to cross the distance between<br />
two measuring transducers. In<br />
the standard version, the meter<br />
measu<strong>res</strong> instantaneous f<strong>low</strong> rate<br />
(in m3/hour) and the total volume<br />
of water passed through the<br />
meter (in m3) in the given f<strong>low</strong><br />
direction. The measured data<br />
is converted into passive pulse<br />
output signals.<br />

New simplified safety compliance testing<br />
unique tester has been<br />
A introduced to market, in that<br />
it sources both AC and DC steadystate<br />
voltage for Hi-Z and Lo-Z<br />
instruments, thus simplifying<br />
safety compliance testing.<br />
The new Fluke® PRV240<br />
Proving Unit provides a safe and<br />
convenient method for “test<br />
before touch” TBT verification of<br />
electrical test tools without placing<br />
the electrician or technician in<br />
potentially hazardous electrical<br />
environments, which would<br />
generally involve using known<br />
live voltage sources.<br />
In contrast to using a known<br />
live source, using the PRV240 does<br />
not require personal protective<br />
equipment (PPE) for tester<br />
verification. Use of the PRV240<br />
reduces the risk of shock and arc<br />
flash compared to verification of<br />
test instruments on high-energy<br />
sources in potentially hazardous<br />
electrical environments because<br />
the PRV240 provides a known<br />
voltage in a controlled, <strong>low</strong>current<br />
state in accordance with<br />
safe work practices.<br />
The pocket-sized PRV240<br />
sources 240 V of both AC and DC<br />
steady-state voltage for testing of<br />
both high- and <strong>low</strong>-impedance<br />
multimeters, clamp meters, and<br />
two-pole testers, eliminating both<br />
the need for multiple verification<br />
tools and the use of a known<br />
high-energy voltage source for<br />
test instrument verification.<br />
To avoid accidental contact,<br />
the voltage is supplied through<br />
recessed contacts that are<br />
activated only when test probes<br />
are inserted into the modules<br />
insulated access points. A single<br />
LED indicates the sourcing of the<br />
voltage to verify the test tool,<br />
simplifying test tool verification<br />
without the need for PPE.<br />
The proving unit can perform<br />
up to 5,000 tests per set of four AA<br />
batteries and comes with a TPAK<br />
magnetic hanging strap for easy<br />
accessibility.<br />
