1. Function:
This flowmeter need used with Parshall flume, the sensor will not contact with the liquid, so it
will be much more safety and stability

2. Principle

GE-1208 Meter measure the liquid level directly, the

Parshall flume transfer the flow rate to the liquid level.
This meter measure the liquid level, then calculte the
flow rate, show the result on the screen.
2.1 the flume measure the flow
If we use the Parshall flume to measure the flow, there
is relativity between the flow and the level, it mainly
depend on the physical dimension.
When we use the GE-1208 Flowmeter, we must know
the relation between the flow rate and the liquid level.
We could get this relation from the supplier of parshall
flume, or check the standard data from the attached
file.

2.2 The principle of meter

The flowmeter sent and receive the
ultrasonic, transfer it to liquid level.
there is the relative data in the meter,
it could measure the flow by the level.
It have 4-20mA, reply, RS232 output.

3. Parameter Setup
Press MENU Button, then you will go to setup the parameter
Press MENU Button, it will turn page on the screen
Press 4 Button, it will move the Changeable digit position
Press Button, it will change the value of the changeable digit
Press RUN button, it will finish setup, start to work

20mA 100L/s, means when 100L.s, the output is 20mA
ADDER 0000, it is RS485 address
Bad mold 0000, after install the sensor on the rack, connect with the meter, when there is no
water in parshall flume, at this time, the GE-1208 meter show the value of liquid level; input this
value as Bad Mold value by 4 Button and Button, then the value of liquid level
change to zero. then, when liquid flow into the flume, the GE-1208 will show the actual value of
liquid level.

After finish setup the parameter, press 4andat the same time, it will save the setup
parameter.
4. Parshall flume
if the flow is more than 40L/s, we advise the parshall flume for you. Actually, in most condition,
the flow is more than 40L/s.

The above drawing is for parshall flume, there is standard method to produce the
parshall flume, so you just need check the value for
