Monitoring Functions

Leakage:
If the volume flow difference in two successive measuring periods of max. 210 seconds exceeds the set threshold, leakage alarm is issued for volume flow difference.

ALOHA®:
The patented ALOHA® mechanism allows air pockets to pass through the flow meter without causing false alarms, and without adversely affecting system sensitivity.
Systems FBU thus offers optimum reliability.

Seepage: (OptiTight®)
The patented OptiTight® mechanism executes one or more times daily, testing the tightness of the installation by individually controlling the cut-off valves, whereby even minute seepage is detected.
If seepage is detected, alarm is given, and the installation is cut off.

System Fault:
Whenever a valve is closed, the system checks its tightness. If a component fails, a System Fault alarm is given.
If an internal voltage supply fails, a System Fault alarm is given.
Functional errors reported from Kamstrup MULTICAL® cause a System fault alarm.
System Faults do not cause installation cut-off.

Alarm Functions

On leakage errors, System FBU cuts off the installation, gives audible and visible alarm indication and drops the alarm relay.
System faults are reported via relay as well as audibly and visibly if possible. Valve errors are indicated visibly.
