1.1 Software versions
For all GDC devices, the "Electronic Revision" (ER) is consulted to document the revision status
of the electronics according to NE 53. It is easy to see from the ER whether any fault repairs or
major changes to the electronic equipment have taken place and what effect they have had on
compatibility.
Changes and effect on compatibility
1Downwards compatible changes and fault repair with no effect on operation (e.g. spelling
mistakes on display)
3-_Downwards compatible hardware and/or software change of inputs and outputs:
PPulse output
SStatus output
Xall inputs and outputs
4Downwards compatible changes with new functions
5Incompatible changes, i.e. electronic equipment must be changed.

CAUTION!
The OPTIFLUX 2070 and the WATERFLUX 3070 are different instruments with different software.
The difference lies in the Electronic Revision number, which can be found on a sticker on the
IFC 070 electronics. The electronics are therefore not compatible with each other!
1.2 Intended use
This signal converter IFC 070 has been designed to be combined with a WATERFLUX 3000 water
meter or with an OPTIFLUX 2000 flow sensor, for measuring potable water and water with
suspended particles.
This device features not only accurate flow measurement, but also continuous diagnostics in
accordance with applicable standards. This self-diagnosis monitors and automatically reports
improper functioning of the electronics, or faulty sensor electrodes. It reports battery charge
condition and even provides a cable-break alarm.

8.1 Measuring principle
An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulating pipe through a magnetic
field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of
the fluid, a voltage U is generated:
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * DU = v * k * B * D
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flow meter
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate q. The signal voltage is quite small (typically 1 mV at v = 3 m/s / 10 ft/s and
field coil power of 1 W). Finally, a signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it
(separate from noise) and convert it into signals for totalising, recording and output processing.
