MIS - ECONOMICAL ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METER
KOBOLD INSTRUMENTS CANADA INC

The MIS electromagnetic flow meter, or magmeter, was developed for measuring and monitoring medium-sized flow of conductive liquids in pipes. It offers 2 configurable outputs. It features monitoring, batching, and transmitter functions. The batching function has an external control input. There is both a grand and resettable totalizer. The colored, multi-parameter TFT display rotates in 90 degree increments for easy viewing, regardless of the installation position. The MIS also offers bi-directional measurement capabilities. Set-up is easy with the intuitive menu, accessed by the four optical touch keys on the display. Measurement with the MIS does not depend on the process liquid and its properties such as density, viscosity, and temperature. IO-Link comes standard. Common application areas include water and wastewater treatment, and many other industrial applications. Read more
