Q2 – Flow Meter for Open Channels

The Q2 four-channel flowmeter includes inputs for connecting ultrasonic, radar, or strain gauge level sensors and, based on predefined consumption equations (the relationship between water level and instantaneous flow rate for a given measuring flume or weir), it continuously calculates both the instantaneous and cumulative flow rates. The device includes consumption equations for all common types of Parshall or Venturi flumes and for standard weirs. Flow can also be calculated based on a tabulated relationship between water level and flow rate.
The Q2/KDO velocity flowmeter uses a KDO probe, which operates on the Doppler principle of measuring fluid flow velocity, to calculate flow rate.
The measured values are stored in the device’s internal memory and can be transmitted to a database on a server via an internal GPRS module (Q2-G telemetry station).
The robust design of the metal housing with a high IP67 protection rating and a range of self-diagnostic procedures contribute to the flowmeter’s high operational reliability.
