Magnetic Meter

Model AXF Magnetic Meter ISTEC meters are ideal for applications where you need a minimal pressure drop or liquids with suspended solids. These meters are available in sizes from 0.1" through 16". The display can be mounted on the flow tube or mounted remotely. The LED display shows rate, total and other set-up and diagnostic tools.

The Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act of 2011, has been amended to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in effect as of January 4, 2014.

Our products include meters for potable use and for manufacturing, irrigation, toilets, or washing machines, which are excluded from the new regulations. Certain products we provide meets the new standard. Consult factory for more information and pricing.

FEATURES	BENEFITS

Enhanced Dual Frequency Excitation Method	Selectable 165Hz component ensures quicker response and greater stability in high concentration slurries. Selectable 165Hz component ensures quicker response and greater stability in high concentration slurries
Lower Minimum Fluid Conductivity	With the newly designed AXF Flow Converter, improvements to the input circuit now permit the measurement of fluids with conductivity as low as 1μS/cm
Diagnostics to Detect Insulating Coatings on the Electrodes	The amount of insulating material on the electrode is constantly monitored to determine when maintenance should be performed
Optional Replaceable Electrodes	Simplifies electrode maintenance and cleaning
Improved Accuracy Specification	The standard performance specification is 0.35% of reading. Optional high accuracy calibration rated at 0.2% of reading
Three-line LCD Display with Infrared Programming Switches	A large, back-lit, full dot matrix display can be programmed to provide a wide variety of display possibilities
Electrode Coating Diagnostics	By constantly monitoring the change in the impedance of the electrode circuit due to the build-up of insulating coatings, the AXF converter will display 4 different levels of coating. When the third level is exceeded, a warning is displayed; when the fourth level is exceeded, an alarm is displayed.
Replaceable Electrode Design	Electrode maintenance and cleaning becomes easier because the user can rely on the new predictive diagnostics to monitor the status of the electrodes and then remove them for cleaning if necessary. Available in 1–16" sizes.
Full Dot Matrix LCD Indicator	The LCD indicator employs a large, back-lit, full dot matrix display. One to three lines are available to indicate a wide variety of display possibilities. Infrared switches permit programming through the glass without the need to open the enclosure cover.
