Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter (FSC)

Compact and handy

  • High accuracy ±1.0% of rate and fast response ≤ 1 s
  • A wide variety of detectors
  • Tolerant to bubbles
  • Battery-powered, for 12 hours
  • Data storage on SD card
  • USB port for connection with PC
  • Consumed energy calculation

Consumed Energy Calculation

A function to obtain thermal energies exchanged via fluid used in air-conditioning systems. The transmitter calculates the consumed thermal energy based on the forward flow temperature, the return flow temperature, and the flow rate.

Software Downloads

If you have the portable ultrasonic flowmeter FSC of the version 1 or 2, you have to update the flowmeter software to version 3.00.
Check the model code.

            FSC□□□□■-□0□

If the 8th code is “1” or “2”, the software update is required.

Windows 8.1/10

In addition to updating the FSC software to version 3, you have to carry out the followings:

⁃ Update the flowmeter FSC for Windows 8.1/10

⁃ Update the parameter loader software for Windows 8.1/10 (Ver.3.000)

Windows 2000/XP/Vista

You only have to update the FSC software to version 3. The parameter loader software is unchanged.

Notes:

⁃ After you update the flowmeter FSC for Windows 8.1/10, the flowmeter FSC will be no longer compatible
with Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

⁃ The flowmeter FSC updated for Windows 8.1/10 do not work with the parameter loaders for the FSC
version 1 and version 2.

⁃ Windows 7 PC is compatible with both versions of the parameter loader, version 2 and version 3.
