TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

NUFLO MC-III EXP Flow Analyzer Cameron’s NUFLO™ MC-III™ EXP Flow Analyzer provides state-of-theart liquid and gas measurement with data logging and Modbus® communications in an easy-to-use explosion-proof totalizer. The MC-III EXP stores more flow logs and s them faster than any other flow analyzer on the market. This powerhouse records up to 384 daily flow logs, 768 hourly logs, 345 event logs and s them to your computer via Modbus in less than a minute. The MC-III EXP is designed to perform reliably in hazardous areas and in the harshest environmental conditions across the globe. The MC-III EXP connects to a gas or liquid turbine meter or a preamplifier. s can select a 4 to 20 mA output, a pulse output or an amplified flow meter frequency output that allows remote equipment to calculate flow rates and volume.

Benefits The MC-III EXP offers:

• RS-485 Modbus communications • Extensive log archival capacity • High-speed data s • Interactive software for quick and easy calibration and data access

• Simultaneous indication of rate and total s can access every configuration parameter from one screen.

• Easy-to-read LCD displays • Loop-powered analog output • 12-point linearization • Nonvolatile memory • -protected security • Optional hardware for daily log viewing and external laptop connection

• Intrinsically safe RS-485 output (option) • CSA, ATEX, IECEx and CE approvals

Calibration Calibrating the MC-III EXP is as easy as entering the calibration factor of the flow meter and selecting the desired units of measurement. The instrument automatically calculates its own divisor. The wide variety of unit options for total and rate gives s the freedom to customize the display, inputs and outputs for specific needs. With the built-in wizard that guides s step by step through the configuration process, even first-time s will get dependable results in just minutes.

MC-III EXP and Turbine Meter Packages

The MC-III EXP can be configured with either the software

The MC-III EXP can be packaged with a NUFLO or BARTON®

interface or the six-button keypad on the front of the

7000 Series gas or liquid turbine meter and a suitable CSA or

instrument. Built-in shortcuts to common functions (see
