The UF OC5000 uses a non-contacting ultrasonic sensor mounted over a flume or weir to measure flow. It is accurate, reliable and verifiable. The separate, watertight electronics/display enclosure can be mounted within 150 m (500 ft) of the sensor.

The UF OC5000 continuously displays, totalises, transmits and data logs open channel flow.

Features

  • Simple 5-key calibration
  • Password Protected
  • 2 million point Data Logger
  • On-screen Flow Reports
  • USB Output to Flash Drives
  • 4-20mA/0-5V output

Keypad Operating System

Use the built-in keypad for fast, easy calibration with menu selection of flume or weir and measurement units (e.g. gallons, litres, etc.). Calibration values and data logs are password-protected and retained during power interruptions.

The UF OC5000 will display on-screen flow reports with daily total, minimum, maximum and average flow and will transfer data logs to a USB flash drive. PC software is included.

2-Million Point Data Logger

The UF OC5000 stores time and date-stamped flow values at programmable intervals of 10 seconds to 60 minutes. Daily flow reports are automatically created and viewed on the instrument’s LCD display, including total, minimum, maximum and average flow rates.

Easy Data Logger Downloads

You don’t need a laptop to retrieve log files! Plug any USB Flash Drive into the UF OC5000 USB output to download data log files automatically. The flowmeter sequentially names downloaded files so log files from the same or multiple instruments can be stored on one flash drive.

Micronics Logger software for Windows

Micronics Logger is included with each UF OC5000. This powerful software displays data in both graph and table formats. You can view flow data on-screen, generate flow reports and save files to disk.

Graphs can be exported as images, and data tables can be exported as delimited text files or directly to Microsoft Excel.

Non-Contacting Ultrasonic Sensor

Each UF OC5000 includes a non-contacting PZ15 sensor designed for the special requirements of open channel flow measurement. The sensor can be installed 203mm (8”) or more above the highest water level.

The ultrasonic sensor beam is narrow enough to work on very small flumes and powerful enough for really large applications. The UF OC5000 automatically tunes to extended cable lengths up to 150 m (500 ft).

UF OC5000 Outputs Included

Connect the UF OC5000’s isolated 4- 20mA output to external displays, chart recorders or controllers. Use the built-in relays for flow/level alarms and flow proportionate pulse to samplers, chlorinators or external totalisers.

Retains Memory during Power Interruptions

Date, time, calibration data and user settings are stored and retained in backup battery-protected memory. Data log files are stored in Secure Digital (SD) non-volatile memory.

Security

Access to the UF OC5000 calibration menu and settings is password-protected when enabled.
