General Description
The Sotera 825 and 850 Meters are nutating disk,
positive displacement meters that use magnetic coupling
to convert fluid flow into digital display information. The
meter can store and display the current flow amount
(current total),or cumulative flow amount (totalizer) in any
of five user specified units (ounces, pints, quarts, liters,
and gallons) or special units (e.g. per acre volume). The
meter can be calibrated without dispensing fluid simply by
selecting a calibration factor from the 20 stored settings.
Power is supplied by two AA field replaceable batteries.
Pulser models have the added ability to connect to
fluid management systems for additional control and
monitoring of fluid being dispensed.
