SAGE CLEAR - OUR MOST ECONOMICAL GAS FLOW METER

Sage Clear packed with features — yet affordable!

The Sage Clear is an economical Thermal Mass Flow Meter featuring a bright, high contrast, photo-emissive OLED display of Flow Rate, Total and Temperature in a lightweight NEMA 4 indoor enclosure.  The flow rate is also displayed graphically in a horizontal bar graph format.  The meter has large, easy-to-access, well marked terminals, for ease of customer wiring.  It is powered by 24 VDC (or optionally 115/230 VAC) and includes a built-in power switch.  The power dissipation is under 2.5 watts (e.g., under 100 mA at 24 VDC). The Sage Clear Flow Meter is offered in Integral or Remote Style (which has lead-length compensation up to 1000 feet) with an indoor/outdoor Junction Box (has no electronics, just terminals).  Specify any standard probe length or flow body size. Sage Clear also features continuous diagnostics

SAGE CLEAR THERMAL MASS FLOW METER FOR GASES

The Sage Clear is an economical Thermal Mass Flow Meter featuring a bright, high contrast, photo-emissive OLED display of Flow Rate, Total and Temperature in a lightweight NEMA 4 indoor enclosure. The flow rate is also displayed graphically in a horizontal bar graph format. The meter has large, easy-to-access, well marked terminals, for ease of customer wiring. It is powered by 24 VDC (or optionally 115/230 VAC) and includes a built-in power switch. The power dis sipation is under 2.5 watts (e.g. under 100 mA at 24 VDC). The Sage Clear Flow Meter is offered in Integral or Remote Style. The Remote Style has lead-length compensation up to 1000 feet with an indoor/outdoor Junction Box (has no electronics, just terminals). Specify any standard probe length or flow body size. It has a 4-20 mA output as well as a pulsed output of Totalized Flow (solid state transistor drive). Modbus® compliant RS485 RTU communi cations are optional.

CONTINUOUS DIAGNOSTICS & FIELD CONFIGURABIliTY

Sage Clear has continuous diagnostics. The raw calibration milliwatts (mw) is always displayed in the upper left hand corner of the meter's display. At any time, you can check this reading at a "No Flow" (0 SCFM) condition, and compare the reading to the original re ported "No Flow" value noted on the last few lines of the meter's Certificate of Con formance or the Flow Meter's data tag. This In-Situ diagnostic procedure not only checks the sensor performance and the "Live Zero" calibration point, but it also verifies that the sensor is clean. It essentially provides a means to validate that the meter is oper - ating properly, verifies that there is no shift or drift, and eliminates the need for annual fac tory calibrations. This simple field diagnostic procedure, in addition, verifies that the sensor is free from contami - nation, even without inspection.

Although Sage Clear is fully configured upon shipment for the pipe and process conditions requested, if field reconfigurability is required, specify the CLEARCOM option as well as the Addresser software.

 

MAJOR BENEFITS OF THERMAL MASS FLOW METERS

  • Direct Mass Flow - No need for separate temperature or pressure transmitters
  • High Accuracy and Repeatability - Precision measurement and extraordinary repeatability
  • Turndown of 100 to 1 and resolution as much as 1000 to 1
  • Low-End Sensitivity - Measures as low as 5 SFPM (e.g., 1 SCFM in a 6" pipe)
  • Negligible Pressure Drop - Will not impede the flow nor waste energy
  • No Moving Parts - Eliminates costly bearing replacements, and prevents undetected accuracy shifts
  • Dirt Insensitive - Provides sustained performance
  • Low cost-of-ownership
  • Ease of installation and convenient mounting hardware
