- Battery operated, with large, easy-to-use touchscreen display, automatic screen adjustment (0°/90°/180°/270°)
Overview
Drop-In Replacement - Get the Mass Flow Advantage
Rotameters, also known as Variable Area (VA) meters are used across nearly every industry where economical gas flow metering and flow regulation is required. Rotameters are what is known as a volumetric flow meter only capturing the gas flow volume, not gas mass flow rate. All volumetric flow meters and regulators are sensitive to gas pressure and temperature changes—a pressure change of just 1 Bar generates flow rate error of up to 50%.
We designed our RedyCompact to be the ultimate alternative. A true thermal mass flow meter, RedyCompact is for those that want the highest accuracy and repeatability and need a drop-in replacement for a Rotameter.
Battery powered, with a large touch-screen and automatic screen adjustment (0°/90°/180°/270°), RedyCompact is easy to read from a distance. Regulate flow rate with the high-resolution value by dialing in your manual setpoint. Two standard AA batteries gives the meter months of operation. An optional Micro-USB power plug is also available.
Lifetime No-Drift Sensor Warranty
RedyCompact comes with our lifetime no-drift sensor warranty made possible from high-precision MEMS (Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems) technology utilizing advanced, ultra-stable no-drift CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. The use of MEMS techniques allows both electronic circuits and mechanical devices to be manufactured on a silicon chip, similar to process used for integrated circuits. See Warranty Statement.
RedyCompact Highlights
Compact Footprint
As the name suggests, RedyCompact has a small footprint that accommodates drop-in replacement for any Rotameter in the market.
Touch-Screen Display
The touch screen display offers intuitive navigation. The many variables that make the unit flexible are easily accessible. Automatic display alignment thanks to position sensor.
No-Drift Warranty
Lifetime no-drift sensor warranty. If drift occurs, instrument will be replaced free of charge
Flow Units
Choose between a large number of standardized and normalized flow units from Imperial, US customary and SI all with user adjustable reference conditions.
Device Information & Notifications
Display of complete device information including all configuration settings. Alerts and notifications show up on the home screen.
Alarm Functions
The following triggers are available: Low alarm, high alarm, window alarm and totalizer alarm.
The alarms can be configured with different parameters: Normally open, normally closed, hysteresis, auto/manual/remote reset, delay and alarm duration.
Panel Mount
Two mounting kits are available for convenient mounting into an instrument panel.
Warranty
1-year warranty
