New LCD version of link flow instrument introduced

Titan Enterprises’ highly acclaimed Pulsite® Link pulse and analogue converter, part of Titan’s range of liquid flow measuring instruments, is ideal for connecting to customer devices for increased precision in mechanical flow devices, data monitoring, test rigs, and control systems. It is now available with an LCD, an extremely useful additional design feature.

Titan listened to customer feedback and developed a display model of the Pulsite® Link that will provide local indication of flow rate and total or both from the deployed pulse flowmeter. The newly added display option also includes a local and remote reset for the totaliser and full PC integration via the USB and Titan’s interface software.

Adding the display was not easy from an R&D point of view. Titan’s Senior Development Engineer Neil Hannay commented, “Fitting the display and the required electronics into such a small space without redesigning the whole unit certainly presented a challenge. Working closely with our PCB manufacturer, this issue was overcome by the ingenuity of design involving specialist mounting. The single PCB was remodelled into a compact design that was mounted onto the display within the unit’s restricted dimensions.”

The Pulsite® Link enables operators to convert standard pulse output flowmeters, including Titan's precision turbine flowmeters and positive displacement flowmeters, to scaled and linearised analogue and NPN/PNP outputs. With over a hundred sold since its initial launch, it is the ideal choice for multiple industrial applications.

The opportunity to work on a few bug fixes in Titan’s proprietary Interface Software has also been taken along with the product’s development. The interface software supporting the Pulsite® Link and the Atrato® and Metraflow® ultrasonic flowmeters enables users to configure and test the system via USB and a computer. The USB stick supplied with the Pulsite® Link can be inserted into the unit without disassembling it, allowing for real-time monitoring and data logging via a Windows PC.
