Water Meter Flostar Itron DN80 Designed to meet the advanced needs of water utilities in large revenue collection applications. Engineered for reliability and built upon 20 years of industry-leading design, Itron’s Flostar M is the best choice for drinking water metering in commercial and industrial applications.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS Water Meter Flostar Itron DN80
- Low flow accurancy
- Peak flow capacity
- Highly engineered materials
Wide Measuring Range
Flostar M is a single jet meter available in sizes from DN 40 to 150. Its metrological performances far exceed
ISO/EEC Class C standards. Its low flow accuracy range combined with significant peak flow capacity ensure
complete and efficient measurement whatever the faced flow-rates.
Reliability
Flostar M features a direct magnetic transmission between the turbine and the register without any intermediate gearing in the metered water. This results in a very robust and reliable design able to withstand most types of potable water environments. Ease of read in the toughest humid environments (ie: flooded pits) is secured by hermetically sealed IP68 register (copper can/mineral glass envelope).
Simple an effective
Simple but highly engineered materials and design enable a very long durability and the best performances for water metering.
Endurance & Peak Flow Resistance
Performance over time is a key requirement for efficient billing. Flostar M features a patented turbine ball pivoting enhancing endurance at low flow-rates. Hydrodynamic balance patented turbine design bring resistance at high and peak flows.
- Single jet class C
- Hermetically sealed register (coppercan/mineral glass envelope)
- Patented ball pivot
- Patented turbine levitation
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Flostar M is a single jet meter. The water jet is canalized by an injector before hitting the turbine. The single jet tapered injector straightens the flow profile. Its large bore area prevents meter overspeed by clogging. The high precision design of the inlet:
1. allows Flostar M to meet best accurancy without the need for any bypass or calibration vane adjustment system. The turbine movement is directly transmitted to the extra dry register through a magnetic coupling .2. without the need for any intermediate gearing in the metered water. This allows Flostar M to conserve its initial accuracy over time, under the most demanding service conditions of potable water networks. High quality material for the turbine bearings and patented ball pivot.3. design allows detection of leakages initially and over time regardless of the flow profiles. The hermetically sealed
copper can/mineral glass enveloppe of the IP68 register.4. s safeguarding the read and integrity of the indicator in the toughest environments (flooded pits, mechanical tampering attempts, …).
COMMUNICATION :
READY FOR SMART METERING
Flostar M is supplied pre-equipped with Cyble Target
Allows communication and remote reading through:
- Pulse output (Cyble Sensor)
- M-Bus protocol (Cyble M-Bus)
- Radio frequency wireless link (Cyble RF)
These Cyble modules allow the Flostar M meter to be connected with various associated systems like our supervision system WaterMind (see specific leaflet). They are particularly adapted to commercial and industrial applications where a need for frequent meter monitoring is expressed especially in hard-to-read locations.
Key Advantages of Cyble Technology
- No need for additional investment on the meter to implement remote reading
- Itron standardized meter interface, irrespective of meter technology and widely spread on Itron water meters range.
- Reliable electronic switching (no wear or bouncing)
- Reverse flow management
- Field proven technology with a 25 years experience
- Not affected by magnetic tampering.
