XMT868 ULTRASONIC LIQUID FLOW TRANSMITTER

XMT868: The Smart Flow Transmitter The Best Choice. With the introduction of the XMT868 Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter, Panametrics has revolutionized liquid flow measurement by combining state-of-the-art, all-digital technology with compact, Optional Stainless Steel Case. low-cost transmitter packaging to produce a flowmeter that has no moving parts, never needs regular maintenance, and provides accurate, driftfree operation. Wide applicability, convenient installation, easy operation, and low cost make the XMT868 the best choice for all your liquid flow measurement requirements. The following features show why: Low cost, smart transmitter. Small size & weight. Explosionproof/weatherproof enclosure. Transit-Time and Trans- Flection Measurement modes. One or two channel or path operation. Energy flow measurement capability. 4-20 ma and RS232 outputs. Infrared Remote Control and Communication. AVAILABLE ONLY FROM PANAMETRICS TRANSIT-TIME AND TRANSFLECTION MEASUREMENT MODES. Panametrics flowmeters are the only ultrasonic flowmeters available with two measurement technologies built-in so you can measure flow in fluids ranging from ultraclean water to aerated liquids, oil/water/sand mixtures, and even raw sewage with one flowmeter. ADVANCED TRANSIT-TIME MODE HANDLES MOST FLUIDS. Panametrics exclusive Transit-Time mode, Fluid Flow Transit-Time Flow Measurement Technique. Fluid Flow Flowmeter Transducers Ultrasonic Signal Path with state-of-the-art flowmeter signal-coding and correlation methods, accurately handles most fluids. EXCLUSIVE TRANSFLECTION MODE FOR DIFFICULT MULTIPHASE FLUIDS. Our TransFlection mode uses an innovative technology to expand the Flowmeter Transducers Ultrasonic Signal Path TransFlection Flow Measurement Technique. XMT868 s measuring capabilities. It measures flow in demanding multiphase fluids such as raw sewage, sludge, slurries, tar sands, pulp stock and even oilwater-gas mixtures. DUAL-CHANNEL XMT868 REDUCES COSTS AND MAXIMIZES PERFORMANCE. The optional dual-channel/ dual-path version can be used: For even lower per-point measurement costs, measure flow in two separate pipes with one XMT868. For maximum accuracy and to minimize the effects of flow distortions, install two sets of transducers on the same pipe. For maximum flexibility, mix clamp-on and wetted transducers as well as Transit-Time and TransFlection modes. The XMT868 continuously measures flow in both channels plus the sum, average and difference of the two channels.

For All Liquid Flow Measurements. The XMT868 can be programmed by a handheld RCCU. REMOTE CONTROL AND COMMUNICATION UNIT (RCCU) FOR ON-SITE CONVENIENCE. The optional, hand-held RCCU is used for easy on-site programming of the XMT868 and for display of flow and communication data. Communication with the XMT868 is via an infrared link, for use in difficult or remote areas, and for easy spot-checking at many different sites. BUILT-IN ENERGY FLOW MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY. The XMT868, with optional temperature input, extends the benefits of ultrasonic flow measurement to energy measurement. Measure flow and temperature without pipe penetration in pipes from 1/2 to 200 inches in diameter. The XMT868 measures energy flow in water/glycol heating and cooling systems with temperatures from 20 C to 260 C. Consult Panametrics for other liquids. FLOW PROFILE CORRECTION FOR BEST ACCURACY. The XMT868 provides dynamic correction of fully developed flow profile. Reynolds Number is calculated and a meter factor (K) is automatically applied for best accuracy at all flow velocities.

CHOOSE WETTED OR CLAMP-ON TRANSDUCERS. Ultrasonic flow transducers are classified as either wetted or nonwetted (clamp-on). Wetted transducers are mounted into the pipe or spoolpiece in direct contact with the process fluid. Clamp-on transducers are clamped onto the outside of the pipe and never come into contact with the process fluid. Pan-Adapta Precision- Machined Pipe Plug WETTED TRANSDUCERS FOR MAXIMUM ACCURACY. Wetted transducers are readily available for maximum performance. After proper installation, an accuracy of better than 1% of reading (in Transit- Flowcell with Wetted Transducer Ports. Time mode) is achievable in most applications. Additionally, Pan-Adapta precision-machined pipe plugs can be threaded into pipe couplings or tees to allow the installation and removal of wetted transducers without interrupting the process or emptying the pipe. Measurement is noncontaminating, obstructionless and causes no pressure drop. CLAMP-ON TRANSDUCERS FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY. Using clamp-on transducers, the XMT868 measures Nonintrusive Clamp-On Transducers Means No Leaks, Corrosion or Contamination. flow rate through metal, plastic or even concretelined pipes without penetrating the pipe wall. To hold clamp-on transducers in place, a variety of clamping fixtures are available. Our universal clamping fixture includes ruled slide tracks to simplify transducer spacing for accurate flow measurements. There s even a special smallpipe clamping fixture with miniaturized transducers for precision measurement on 1/2 to 2 pipes. Panametrics Universal Clamping Fixture. Smart Technology. The XMT868 represents the world s most advanced ultrasonic flow measurement technology. All digital hardware, proprietary flow detection and measurement software, and field-proven ultrasonic transducers make the XMT868 the smart choice for all your liquid flow measurement requirements. Digital signal coding and correlation detection routines. Flow profile correction. Automatic adjustment to changing fluid properties. Dynamically configured operating software. Drift-free, maintenancefree transmitter with no moving parts. Wetted or clamp-on transducers.

All Liquid Flow Measurements. ADVANCED CAPABILITY AT A LOW TRANSMITTER PRICE. In addition to low initial cost, to be of real value, a flowmeter must be as economical to own and operate as it is capable in the field. Completely solid-state, the XMT868 never wears out or needs servicing, which means no downtime and zero maintenance costs. To customize, you can add options of alarms, totalizers, inputs and additional outputs. For details, refer to the XMT868 Options and Specifications sheet. Terminal Connections. INSTRUMENT DATA MANAGER PC-INTERFACE SOFTWARE FOR REMOTE DISPLAY/CONTROL. Instrument Data Manager (IDM ) is custom software to link your XMT868 flowmeter to your PC. The IDM pop-up menus make it easy to upload site or calibration data from the flowmeter for verification or safe storage. Stored data can also be downloaded to one or more flowmeters, eliminating the need to program multiple meters separately. With IDM, live measurements or logged data may be viewed or graphed right on your PC monitor. All data can also be stored in PC memory or exported to spreadsheets, word processors, databases, or other software packages for graphing, reporting and further analysis. In addition, IDM lets you operate your flowmeter remotely from your PC since it provides access to virtually all XMT868 functions. SUPPORTS MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS. Certain optional XMT868 configurations support MODBUS communication using the RS485 standard for 32 nodes on one multidrop network at distances up to 4000 feet. Consult Panametrics on the exact configurations that are available. Instrument Data Manager Screens. Backlit LCD Display. BACKLIT LCD DISPLAY FOR CONVENIENCE. A 2-line x 16-character LCD display with display backlight is also available. The display is configurable to show up to four measurement parameters in sequence.
