- High engineered materials
- Single jet Class C
- Hermetically sealed register (coppercan/mineral glass envelove)
- Patended ball pivot
- Patended turbine levitation
Wide Measuring Range
- Flostar M a single jet meter available in sizes from DN 40 to DN 150
- Its metrological performance far exceed ISO/EEC Class C standards
- Its low accuracy range combined with significant peak flow capacity ensure complete and efficient measurement whatever the faced flow rates
Reliability
Flostar M features a direct magnetic transmission between the turbine and the register without any intermediate gearing in the metered water
This results in a very robust and reliable design able to withstand most types of potable water environments.
Ease of read in the toughest humid environments is secured by hermetically sealed IP68 register (copper can/mineral glass envelope)
Simple and Effective
Simple but highly engineered materials and design enable a very long durability and the best performance for water matering.
Endurances and Peak Resistance
Performace over time is a key requirement for efficient billing. Flostar M features a patended turbine ball pivoting enhancing endurance at low flow-rates. Hydrodynamic balance and turbine design bring resistance at high and peak flows.
Working Principle
Flostar M is asingle jet meter. The water jet is canalized by an injector before hitting the turbine. The single jet tapered injecor straightens the flow profile. Its large bore area prevents meter overspeed by clogging.
The high precision design of the inlet :
- Allows flostar M to meet best accuracy without the need for any bypass or calibration vane adjusment system. The turbine movement is directly transmitted to the extra dry register trhough a magnetic coupling.
- Without the need for any intermediate gearing in the metered water. This allows Flostar M to conserve its initial accuracy over time, under the most demanding service conditions of potable water networks. High quality material for the turbine bearings and patended ball pivot.
- Design allows detection of leakages initially and over time regardless of the flow profiles. The hermetically sealed copper can/mineral glass enveloppe of the IP68 register.
- Is safeguarding the read and integrity of the indicator in the toughest environments (flooded pits, mechanical tampering attempts).
Communication : Ready For Smart Matering
Flostar M is Supplied Pre-Equipped with Cyble Target
Allows communication and remote reading through :
- Pulse ouput (Cyble Sensor)
- M-Bus Protocol (Cyble M-Bus)
- Radio Frequensi Wireless Link (Cyble RF)
These cyble modules allows the flostar M meter to be connected with various associated system like our supervision system watermind. They are particularly adapter to commercial industrial applications where a need for frequent meter monitoring is expressed especially in hard to real location.
Key Advantages of Cyble Technology
- No need for additional investment on the meter to implement remote reading
- Itron standarized meter inface, irrespective of meter technology and widely spread on itron water meter range
- Reverse flow management
- Principle proven on the field with a 25 years experience
- Pre-equipment being immune to magnetic tampering.
