The ISCO 2150 area velocity flow meter features a smart area velocity probe which is built on digital electronics, so the analog level is digitized in the sensor itself to overcome electromagnetic interference.
The area velocity probe is factory calibrated for a 3 meter span at different temperatures. This calibration eliminates drift in the level signal and provides long term level stability. This reduces recalibration frequency and completely eliminates span recalibration.
In the field, the ISCO 2150 flow meter can be powered by either two alkaline, or ISCO Rechargeable lead acid batteries, within a 2191 Battery Module. The battery has a life of up to 15 months at 15 minute data storage intervals due to highly efficient power management.
