DATTUS III Meters

DATTUS III Electronic Gas Meters

The DATTUS meter uses solid state technology and it cannot lockup, which is advantageous for facilities such as hospital or schools where it is critical to never stop gas flow.

When other meter styles are subject to flow exceeding the meter rating, the meters are often damaged. The DATTUS can be subjected to many times its rated capacity without meter damage. In these situations, the meter displays an alarm indicating that it was in an overflow condition. When the flow returns to its normal operating range the meter will return to normal operation.

The meter is easy to install and it is not necessary to have aligned flanges, or a level meter. In fact, meter performance will not be impeded by torsion on the meter case or a non-level setting.

The DATTUS performs well in applications where slam-shut or slam-open loads are created because of downstream equipment.

Aside from battery maintenance (and battery life is expected nine to ten years), there are no other associated maintenance requirements since it has no moving parts and doesn't require oil changes like other meter types.

KEY FEATURES

• Built-in temperature compensation
• Gas volume totalizing
• Data logging capabilities standard
• Fixed-factor pressure correction
• Four channels of configurable pulse outputs
• Field upgradable meter capacity without service interruption
• Highly-robust sensor design

• DATTUS III brochure
• Fluid Oscillation white paper

The meter is available in three models (the fM1, fM2 and fM3) and two model types:

• The Basic offers uncorrected measurement along with fixed-factor capability.
• The Basic TC is the similar to the Basic, but programmed to include temperature compensation.
