If I simultaneously connect the Summing Remote Display and the Data Logger to the Digital Flowmeter, will the accuracy of the reported air consumption be changed?
Can I connect the USB Data Logger to the Summing Remote Display?
No, there are no connections on the Summing Remote Display, the USB Data Logger must be directly connected to the Digital Flowmeter.
Can I pulse/cycle the compressed air to your products?
Yes, EXAIR is committed to the more efficient use of compressed air and recommends limiting the use of compressed air for only the duration it is required to perform a specific function.
Cycling is efficient because EXAIR product’s effects are virtually instantaneous. Cycling will reduce overall air use for more cost effective operation. With the use of an EXAIR Electronic Flow Control (EFC), you can control the flow of air with any one of the 16 programmable modes.
How do I know how much air EXAIR products can save our company?
It is helpful to know how much air you are currently using. You can make an estimate or use our Digital Flowmeter to determine the air consumption of your system. The Digital Flowmeter is available from 3/4"-2" pipe sizes. After knowing your current air consumption you can use this calculator to determine savings.
How can EXAIR’s Ultrasonic Leak Detector help?
EXAIR's Ultrasonic Leak Detector is an important tool in any compressed air optimization program. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector can find compressed air leaks in your system which can be repaired. Repaired leaks can increase compressor output up to 30%.
Can I move the Digital Flow Meter from place to place?
The Digital Flowmeter is meant to be a permanent installation to provide feedback of compressed air consumption. It should be installed at each major leg of your compressed air system to better understand your requirements. Uninstalling the Digital Flowmeter is not recommended but it can be done with the use of a pipe repair clamp.
How does the Digital Flow Meter fit with my compressed air savings program?
Once the Digital Flowmeter is installed at each major leg of your compressed air system you can determine how much air you are using in applications and/or losing through leaks. You can begin to install more efficient blow off and end use compressed air components and quantify your savings. And you can be confident your compressor has enough capacity for your applications.
Your catalog offers Digital Flowmeters for schedule 40 steel pipe sizes from 1/2" through 6". Do you offer models for copper pipe?
Yes, we offer 3/4" to 4" Digital Flowmeters for Type L copper pipe. Please specify which type of pipe you are using.
What are the operating modes for the Summing Remote Display?
1.) Rate Mode - Duplicates the reading of the attached Digital Flowmeter to which it is connected.
2.) Daily Usage Mode - Displays the usage in thousands of standard cubic feet during the most recent 24 hour period.
3.) Cumulative Usage Mode - Displays the total air usage in thousands of standard cubic feet since the unit was energized. Note: The decimal point can be moved to change resolution if necessary. After reaching 9,999 , the meter will roll back to 0.
