K-MVT Multivariable Transmitter Communications Interface Module

Applications

• The K-MVT module is used as a gas-flow transmitter for orifice and V-Cone meters.
• It also can be used as a water-flow transmitter for V-Cone meters.
• The K-MVT’s accuracy and stability make it suitable for use in harsh environments where high-quality measurements are needed for accurate reporting. It can be used in situations where electromagnetic interference or radio frequency noise may be a problem, such as around compressor ignition systems. Explosion-proof rating of the stand-alone K-MVT technology is for Class I, Division 1 hazardous areas.

Features, Advantages and Benefits

• Microprocessor-based electronics simultaneously measure differential pressure, static pressure, and temperature of gas and water flows. Used in both orifice and V-Cone flow transmitters, it is a multifunctional device that replaces up to three transmitters in a single unit, minimizing training requirements and capital expenditure.
• The 4-wire, 100-ohm platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) interface provides accurate gas temperature measurement for more accurate overall gas-flow measurement.
• The transmitter is designed for ultra-low power usage, using a smaller battery and solar panel to reduce system costs.
• The industry-standard RS-485 multi-drop serial communications interface is widely applied and supported in the field. With a single four-wire connection, the RTU unit can communicate with multiple devices for up to 5,000 ft (1,524 m). This capability reduces wiring requirements and simplifies hookup.
• K-MVT sensor technology has been widely proven throughout the industry to provide accurate pressure and temperature compensation, resulting in high-quality measurements that can withstand the scrutiny of an audit.
• Stability and accuracy make the K-MVT module dependable in harsh environments. The K-MVT unit requires less frequent calibration, which reduces maintenance costs.
