Section 1—Introduction
The NuFlo™ MC-III™ Panel Mount Flow Analyzer (Figure 1.1) packs a full spectrum of gas and liquid
measurement functionality, high-speed performance, and log archive and retrieval capabilities in an easy-
to-use totalizer. Commonly used operations can be accessed from the six-button keypad on the front of the
instrument or from the dynamic interface software, allowing you to calibrate and congure the unit quickly
and easily. The device installs easily in a ¼ DIN panel opening measuring 3.62 in. square.
Operation
The MC-III Panel Mount calculates and displays instantaneous ow rates and accumulated totals based on
a turbine ow meter input signal. The MC-III’s microprocessor circuitry counts the pulses generated by a
companion ow meter, converts that data into volume and rate values in accordance with calibration settings,
and displays the totalized data on a two-line liquid crystal display (LCD). The eight-digit top readout indicates
total ow volume; the six-digit bottom readout indicates ow rate.
With the press of a single key, totals are saved to nonvolatile memory, minimizing the risk of data loss even if
a power outage occurs.
Up to 384 daily logs, 768 hourly logs, and 345 event logs can be archived and accessed quickly on demand.
Offering a variety of user-congurable display options, input and output options, RS-485 Modbus
®
compatibility, ow logging, and turbine ow meter linearization, the MC-III Panel Mount is one of the most
versatile totalizers on the market. For specications, see Table 1.1, page 8.
