Key Benefits and Advantages
Advanced MVD Digital Processing Powered by MVD Technology, the 1700 delivers exceptionally clean and accurate signals. This digital processing capability is particularly effective in challenging conditions, such as applications involving entrained gas or batching from empty, where traditional transmitters often struggle. It provides built-in diagnostics to ensure performance integrity during these difficult process events.
Simplified Installation and Commissioning The 1700 is designed to minimize the time and expertise required for startup. Flow meter commissioning is straightforward with virtually no special programming requirements. Its compact design and the ability to mount integrally to the sensor help lower wiring costs and simplify the overall installation footprint.
Smart Meter Verification (SMV) For real-time assurance of measurement integrity, the 1700 supports Smart Meter Verification. This tool allows operators to confirm the health of the entire meter—sensor, electronics, and calibration—while the process is running. It provides documented proof of performance without the need for high-cost onsite calibrations or process interruptions.
Enhanced Diagnostic Accessibility By utilizing the WirelessHART™ option, users can gain access to a wealth of additional diagnostics and process information without the expense of adding more physical wiring. This makes the 1700 a future-ready component for data-driven maintenance and IIoT strategies.
Ruggedized for Hazardous Areas Housed in a rugged Class I, Division 1 / Zone 1 enclosure, the 1700 is built for the toughest industrial sites. An optional local operator interface (LOI) with an easy-to-read display ensures that field technicians can access flow meter data and configuration settings safely and easily at the point of measurement.
Multifunctional Measurement Capabilities The 1700 does more than just report mass flow. It can be configured for concentration and net flow measurement, allowing it to calculate the pure component of a mixture. This eliminates the need for additional external instruments and complex calculations in the control system.
