Automation and Electronics' WFM Water Flow Monitor is designed to monitor water flow accumulation, water pressure, gas pressure, and the solar power battery voltage level (if required).
The unit was developed for water flow monitoring for field operations. It is fully configurable by the operator using an optional local interface, Personal Digital Assistant, or portable computer. The unit is supplied with typical parameters ready for specific application tuning. Setup parameters may also be downloaded from a host computer. Software lockout with notification provided by host and local interface.
