HOW OCTAVE WORKS
The Octave’s measurement method is based on an ultrasonic, transit-time, dual-beam sensors that determine the length of time it takes an ultrasonic wave to travel the distance between the two sensors located in the meter’s body. The sensors function as both sender and receiver, each one alternating these functions so that the ultrasonic wave travels both with and against the direction of the flow. Because the ultrasonic wave travels slower against the flow than with the flow, the time difference of the two waves allows the meter to determine the flow rate.
Octave Programming and Digital Display
Multi-line digital LCD readout display provides immediate reporting and visual indicators for critical conditions. The 9 digit display is easy to read at a glance.
Each Octave Meter will be pre-programmed before shipment for an instantaneous flow rate in Gallons per Minute (GPM) and the specified user’s requirements for:
- Volume Totalizer Units (Gallons or Acre-Feet)
- Output Resolution for Optional Pulsed Output
NOTE: Programming software is not available to the end user. Once the meter is programmed by the Netafim prior to shipment, it can only be reset by Netafim. When changing between totalizer options (US Gallons to Acre Feet), the totalizer memory can not be reset so vital data will not be lost.
