Bove Technology B12-VI-B Ultrasonic Heat Meter User Guide
A next-generation ultrasonic heat meter, B12 VI-B, is released after Bove engineers’long term dedication. A fresh new firmware enabling better flow sensor and longer battery plan for either wireless communication or wired communication.
Metering program upgrade
power consumption lowering by 18 percent
‘No trouble, no fear’.
We build highly coordinated metering solution for our esteemed customers. At
Years after re-calibration, New B12 VI-B and BOVE’s B28 VTB series calibration
and testing bench working consistently to make B12 VI-B renew like original.
DESCRIPTION
B12 VI-B Ultrasonic Heat Meter is an innovative heat meter with static flow
sensor based on the ultrasonic measuring principle. B12 VI-B is designed for
measuring the use of heating in which water is the heat/cool bearing medium.
It utilizes ultrasonic measuring methodology and microprocessor technology.
All calculation and flow measuring circuits are designed on one single board,
thus offering exceptional accuracy and reliability. B12 VI-B gives importance
to flexibility with its programmable functions and install-uninstall
communication units. With its size options from DN15 to DN40, it enables flow
rate metering from 0.03 m³/h to 20 m³/h.
KEY FEATURES
- Advanced function
- Low pressure drops
- No metering of air
- Leading to long lasting metrology
- Wide dynamic metering range
- Pinpoint measuring accuracy
- Pre-equipped for communication
- Mounting in any installation position
- Insensitive against lime & sand
- Long product life, because there is no moving parts
- Automatic self diagnosis and fault detection
IoT Ready.
B12 VI-B supports multiple communication interfaces for both wired and
wireless which suitable for any type of installation environment, e.g. MBus,
RS485 (Modbus), Pulse, LoRaWAN (433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, 923MHz), NB, Sigfox.
Flexible Battery Life Span
B12 VI-B has no moving parts, presents as IP65, and its body is fabricated from durable brass material. This robust design makes the B12 VI-B maintenance-free and highly precise throughout its flexible 6 or 10 or 16 years battery life depends upon customers’needs.
B12 VI-B Series 04 Ultrasonic Heat Meters consist 3 main units:
- Ultrasonic Flow Metering Unit
- Temperature Metering Unit
- Calculator Unit
Ultrasonic Flow Metering Unit
Ultrasonic flow meter measures by the transfer of ultrasound signals between transducers with the help of mirrors.
Temperature Metering Unit
PT1000 type heat sensors are used which they are calibrated, certified. If input water temperature metering prob is integrated with the meter body where flow meter is, thus the output water temperature metering prob is mounted to a suitable point on the network return water direction. Also meter could be installed in out flow position. Default cable length is 1.5m, but 3m length is also available as per request.
Calculator Unit
It is the unit that process energy calculation by the flow rate data received from flow rate metering unit and temperature data received from temperature metering unit. Its calibration is performed in software at factory. Calculated energy and other information is displayed on the LCD when button is pushed. These information may be remotely read via optical port and communication unit..
