WaterMaster Product FeaturesAdvanced Sensor Design – DN40 to DN200

Superior Control Through Design

Patent Approved innovative Octagonal sensor design

Fully Submersible & Buriable (IP68 / NEMA 6P)

Dual Integral Grounding Electrodes


Octagonal Sensor Design

Improved Immunity to flow disturbances while maintaining low mechanical stresses

WaterMaster Product FeaturesAdvanced Sensor Design – DN40 to DN250


WaterMaster Product FeaturesOctagonal Sensor Geometry

An Ideal EM flow meter has a rectangular bore

Immune to asymmetric flow profiles, such as after a bend or gate valve

Disadvantages

Very High stress levels in the sharp corners, especially over wide temperature and pressure ranges

High pressure drop (square section does not fit very well into a circular pipe)


WaterMaster Product FeaturesOctagonal Sensor Geometry

ABB Patented Design

Benefits of improved immunity to asymmetric flow profiles (from bends, valves, etc.)

Lower and acceptable stress levels

Lower Pressure Drop than rectangular shape (octagonal profile fits well into circular pipe)

WaterMaster Product FeaturesProbably the Best Flow Meter Transmitter in the World


Self-calibrating transmitter

Highest accuracy

Calibrates itself every 60 secs

A world first

Virtually zero drift due to:

Component AgingTemperature Gradient

WaterMaster Product FeaturesContinuously Self Calibrating Electronics


WaterMaster Product FeaturesSelf Calibration in Action, 20 - 70°C Oven Test

Flow remains virtually unchanged overnormal temperature range of transmitter


1.9 ppm / °C

Temperature Performance

Laboratory Standard performance = < 5.0 ppm / °C shift

Tested WaterMaster performance @ 2.0 m/s velocity between -25 and +70 °C is < 2.0 ppm / °C shift !!!

WaterMaster Product FeaturesSelf Calibration Performance Tests


Automatic Continuous Calibration Utilises a novel arrangement of

switches, measurement & drive circuitry

The complete measurement chain is self measured, calculated and adjusted resulting in a self calibrating, continuously adjusting transmitter

Result is virtually no errors Virtually zero sensitivity to ageing

or temperature shifts No detectable interchange errors Fingerprint taken at the factory,

with adjustments to the autocal system displayed in fractions of % for the ultimate user confidence

Read Only Switch SW1 ON = Prevents Login & any changes to setup configuration

Integral Units, (or for retro-fit to old sensors) – SW3 ON = use Internal SensorMemory

Uses the memory located on the Txm backplane to store all sensor related information

Remote Units – SW3 OFF = uses SensorMemory in the Sensor/Primary

NOTE: For integral units the sensor cal factors and data stay with the backplane, so if a integral housing or backplane is replaced the sensor calibration information can be lost!

WaterMaster & VeriMaster Product Features


WaterMaster VerificationIntroducing VeriMaster

The perfect balance of power, performance, flexibility

and control

FlowMaster Introduces

VeriMasterIntuitive measurement from The Masters of Flow


A fingerprint taken at the factory of the sensor inductance and resistance, stored in the sensor memory

Deviation in % is shown on the Diagnostics display as ‘Sensor L Shift’ in %

Continuous checks are made on the sensor. OIML accuracy alarm is raised if any measurement is outside limits, much like CalMaster 2, but built in

Coil Inductance & Resistance is dependent on the sensor excitation frequency. Small sensors typically 40Hz, larger sensors 8Hz. This is set by the cal computer, defined by D&D

The fingerprint is made by the TX, but triggered by Flow Calibration via command “Set Factory Coil Z”

This must be made after all mode changes and excitation frequency set and the TX is running normally
