The Choice Is Clear When Selecting A Turbine Flow Meter; It's Onicon.

Onicon, Inc. has delivered market leading energy and flow measurement products for over 30 years.  In that time, they’ve created a broad range of product solutions for a variety of HVAC technologies including electromagnetic, ultrasonic, thermal, turbine and vortex style flow meters as well BTU energy meters for flow inputs integration.

Onicon designs these measurement instruments for both hydronic heating and cooling systems.  And their products are backed by a 1-year no fault warranty and 3-year manufacturer warranty. 

Let’s take a moment to spotlight the Onicon F-1000 Series.  It’s a family of inline and insertion style turbine flow meters providing reliable and accurate flow measurement.  All models utilize an electronic turbine rotation sensing system, accurate across wide flow ranges and contain exceptional low flow measuring capabilities. These turbine flow meters were created to work in pipe size ranges from ¾” to 72” in diameter.  There a number of processes where turbine flow is measured including hot water, chilled water, domestic water, process cooling, condensate water, steam condensate and brine.

The design of the F-1000 series uses components that make it nearly wear-free.

Benefits and Features of the Onicon F-1000 Series include:

• High Accuracy: On every meter, a NIST traceable factory calibration is performed. 
• Unparalleled Operating Range:  flow data is repeatable over a 175:1 turndown from 0.17 to 30 ft/s.
• Dependable Long-term Reliability: with patented non-magnetic impedance sensing method, low mass non-metallic turbines that include sapphire jewel bearings, and tungsten carbide shafts, these meters boast a mechanical operation that virtually does not wear.
• Integrated Conditioned Outputs: Ease of installation is maintained by integral conditioned output circuitry.  Models with analog output consist of both 4-20 mA and 0-10 VDC signaling. Also available are isolated analog, frequency, and dry contact switch options.
• Abridged “Hot Tap” Insertion Design: The Onicon F-1000 series enlists a unique hot tap design that doesn’t require a system shutdown for installation/removal.  

The choice is clear.  If you have a system requirement for a turbine flow meter, it’s Onicon.

Setra's LITE™ Series Features New Configuration Options

NEW CONFIGURATIONS FOR SETRA LITE™

Setra has made some adjustments to the options available on their LITE™ Series of Pressure Indicators.

Recently, the product was only offered with transducer range (In WC or Pa) and Accuracy.  The device is now produced with several customizations available for a wide range of applications.

Setra's LITE™ Series

Along with Transducer Range and Accuracy the customizing features choice of Alarm (Visual only or Audio and Visual), Mounting Location (Outside Room or Inside Room), Color (White or Black), Orientation (Portrait or Landscape), and Additional Accessories including Quick-Mount Kits, or Dual Alert.  These additional accessories were designed for different use cases;

For ‘Monitor Only’ no accessory needed, and the LITE is used for permanent, simple monitoring of air flow.  The ‘Dual Alert’ accessory provides the simple monitoring of air flow where the status is needed in both spaces.  When ordered with the “Quick Mount Kit” accessory, the LITE is enabled to simply monitor air flow on a temporary basis, or when needed. 

The room pressure monitor now offers a visual and audio alarm.

There are many different needs for many different applications, and the LITE Visual Pressure Monitor provides a cost effective, yet highly accurate method to measure and display the room differential pressure for areas that require a manual verification. 

With many features that are normally found in larger, more complex room pressure monitors, the Setra LITE sensor utilizes Setra’s pinpoint accuracy and the reliability that you have come to expect.  And installation is simple, since the unit is small comparatively; it fits in a single-gang US electrical box, powered by 24VDC or VAC.

The updated Data Sheet can be found here, and it covers everything you need to know about any configuration you choose.
