iSonic 4000

Open-Channel Flow Meter

DESCRIPTION

An economical open-channel flow meter, iSonic 4000 measures level, flow rate and total volume of water flowing through weirs and flumes. The meter includes a non-contact ultrasonic level sensor to detect the water level and then calculates the flow rate and total volume using the Gauckler-Manning or other equations based on characteristics of the channel. All the measurements are available over Modbus RTU and can be logged for historical records.

BENEFITS

• Measure level, flow rate and total volume with a single device

• Simple setup for flumes and weirs

• Retain a historical log of all measurements

• Easily connect up to SCADA systems with Modbus RTU

• Rugged IP67 powder coated aluminum enclosure

OPERATION

Based on empirical formulas, the iSonic 4000 calculates the flow rate based on the geometry of the channel or primary element and water depth. The level sensor measures the depth of the water used in the calculation.

The iSonic 4000 includes a selection of primary elements with preprogrammed tables to simplify the setup, including:

• Parshall flumes

• Manhole flumes

• V-notch weirs

Additionally, you can enter custom tables using the Flow Meter Tool software.

PUMP CONTROL OPTION

The Pump Control option automatically starts and stops the pump based on water level.

◊ iSonic 4000 transmitter

◊ Level sensor with 32 ft (10 m) cable

◊ USB cable

◊ Flow Meter Tool configuration software

• Optional bracket for level sensor

APPLICATIONS

Open channels with a primary element are a cost effective solution for managing varying flow rates in unpressurized systems. The iSonic 4000 flow meter performs best when used with a primary element, such as a flume or weir, and where the sediment does not build up.

• Flow into water treatment plants from reservoirs

• Storm and sanitary sewer systems

• Effluent from water resource recovery or wastewater treatment

• Industrial discharge

• Agriculture irrigation channels
