4220 Flow Meter

Section 1 Introduction

This section provides a general introduction to the 4220 Sub-

merged Probe Flow Meter. It includes a description, an expla-

nation of how the unit operates, and technical specifications.

Manual Organization

This manual provides the information necessary to operate,

maintain, and perform minor service on the 4220. The manual is

organized into five sections:

• Section 1: Introduction, operation, and specifications

• Section 2: Keypad operation and programming for all

4200 series flow meters

• Section 3: Installation and options application-specific to

this flow meter

• Section 4: Installation of the Submerged Probe

• Section 5: Options and Accessories

• Section 6: Maintenance, Service, Troubleshooting, and

Upgrades

Following Section 6 are appendices covering replacement parts,

accessory parts, worksheets, and safety information.

1.1 Description The 4220 uses a submerged probe level sensor to measure level.

The flow meter is normally used with some type of primary mea-

suring device for measuring flow in an open channel. The 4220

has built-in standard level-to-flow conversions that cover the

vast majority of open channel flow measurement situations. You

can also enter a non-standard equation, or sets of data points

that effectively plot a user-derived flow profile for a flow stream.

The 4220 supports the Isco data acquisition, storage, and

retrieval system with optional Flowlink software. Using

Flowlink, the 4220 has enough memory to store 40,000 level

readings. An optional 4200T Modem with speech capability is

available to transmit stored data over standard dial-up tele-

phone lines.
