Section 1 Introduction
The following section provides a general introduction to the 4210
Ultrasonic Flow Meter. It includes a description, an explanation
of how the unit operates, and technical specifications.
1.1 Manual Organization This manual provides the information necessary to operate,
maintain, and perform minor service on the 4210. The manual is
organized into five sections:

for the flow meter.
Section 2 – Keypad operation and programming.
Section 3 – Installation and options application-specific to this
flow meter.
Section 4 – Options and accessories for all 4200 Series Flow
Meters.
Section 5 – Routine maintenance procedures and minor ser-
vicing information.
Following Section 5 are appendices covering replacement and
accessory parts, safety information, and material safety data
sheets.
1.2 Description The 4210 uses ultrasonic reflection to measure level in flow
stream. The flow meter is normally used with some type of
primary measuring device to measure flow in an open channel.
The 4210 has built-in level-to-flow conversions that cover the
vast majority of open channel flow measurement situations.
Additionally, the flow meter lets you enter an equation, or data
points. The 4210 supports the Isco data storage, acquisition, and
retrieval system with the use of optional FLOWLINK software.
The 4210 has enough memory to store 40,000 data readings. An
optional 4200T Modem, with speech capability, is available to
transmit stored data over standard dial-up telephone lines and
call out on alarms.
