Turbine Signal Test Set
Turbine Signal Test Set

The Turbine Signal Test Set (TSTS) is designed to input a turbine meter signal, display the frequency, and calculate flow rate and totals. It can also output a sine wave at a selectable frequency and amplitude. The TSTS can also output a square wave pulse scaled to a unit corrected volume (for example one pulse per MCF).

Features

  • Instantaneous flow rate
  • Totalizer
  • Pulse output
  • Programmable frequency generator
  • Portable hand held weatherproof enclosure with 5’ coiled cable pickup and quick insert adapter
