FRC FTA500-015 INSIGHT Portable FlowTester Flow and Pressure Test Set, 1.5" Tube Diameter, 13-320 GPM, 2.5" Swivel, GPM/PSI

The INSIGHT Portable FlowTester with pressure meter is an instrument that will measure flow rate and pressure directly without using charts or doing calculations. The tester is designed around a digital meter with a paddlewheel type flow sensor and pressure sensor mounted in a flow tube. The flow tester program allows for up to six different calibration schemes to be set in memory. This enables the operator to press a button and use the same portable tester with different size flow tubes.

The Portable FlowTester consists of a Pelican case into which a panel is mounted containing an INSIGHT digital meter, a power switch, low battery indicator, and cable connections. The Pelican case also contains a rechargeable battery and an AC charger/power supply. A cutout in the front panel allows for the storage of cables.

The INSIGHT digital meter has a 4-digit LED display with daylight bright digits 0.56 inch high. The meter electronics are self contained and program features are accessed via push buttons on the front of the module. Flow rate and pressure information is provided by a paddlewheel type flow sensor and pressure sensor mounted in a flow tube. This information is processed and shown on the digital display. An optional Pitot pressure pick-up is available to be used with the pressure sensor for reading higher flow rates.

The Portable FlowTester can be powered by its internal rechargeable 12 volt battery, a 120/240 VAC source, or an external 12/24 VDC source (with optional cable). The battery charging unit is mounted inside the box. To charge the internal battery plug the cable into the AC CHARGER input on the front panel and connect the other end to a 120/240 VAC electrical outlet.

Note: The Portable FlowTester must be ordered from the factory set for 240 VAC and 24 VDC operation.

All controls, indicators, and input connections are located on the front panel.
