INTRODUCTION
Overview
The INSIGHT ULTIMATE pressure gauge and digital flowmeter combines a
traditional style electronic pressure gauge and a digital LED flow display into one
practical display module. The pressure gauge/flowmeter is able to communicate with
other display modules over the FRC datalink. This technology allows for remote
displays, the display of flow for multiple discharges (summing), and the totalization of
flow for multiple discharges (accumulation).
The pressure gauge is an electronically controlled analog display. During normal
operation pressure information is provided from a solid state pressure transducer or the
datalink interface. The pressure transducer provides an electrical signal to the input of
the display module. A microprocessor controls the needle movement to provide an
accurate and steady pressure display. Leakage and freeze-up problems common in
mechanical pressure gauges are eliminated.
The digital flowmeter is a 4-digit LED display. During normal operation flow rate
information is provided from a paddlewheel flow sensor or the datalink interface. This
information is processed and and shown on the digital display as flow rate.
There are two operator selectable modes; display module identification and program
access. The digital display is used to show stored data or operator inputs when a
selectable mode is accessed. In the display module identification mode the digital display
will show the module serial number, manufactured date, software revision, module
function, and ID number. In the program access mode the digital display will show
operator inputs, program options, and error codes. The operator selected modes are
accessed and inputs are made by using the three magnet sensors on the front of the
display module.
All controls and indicators are located on the front of the display module.
