Products Open Channel Flow Meters Controller FL1500 Flow Logger
FL1500 Flow Logger
Key Benefits and Features
The FL1500, a Hach Flow solution by McCrometer, is our most versatile flow logger that is engineered to handle a wide range of applications with unmatched flexibility. Capable of connecting to up to four independent flow sensors, this multi-channel controller works seamlessly with the broadest selection of our sensors, making it ideal for various water quality monitoring needs. Whether you’re tracking flow rates, monitoring environmental conditions, or integrating additional equipment like rain gauges, pH sensors, auto samplers, or mechanical totalizers, the FL1500 is designed to deliver accurate and reliable data every time.
The FL1500 goes beyond just flow logging—it collects and analyzes water quality data from fielded sensors, providing a comprehensive view of your operations without having to individually visit each meter. With that said, ease of use is at the core of the FL1500’s design; the intuitive color screen simplifies operations, while flexible programming options—via the built-in keypad, PC using FSDATA software, or a USB stick—make setup and data management effortless. For added convenience, you can save configured programs to a USB stick and quickly upload them to the logger as needed. Additionally, the FL1500 supports remote communication with SCADA or PLC systems, enabling seamless data retrieval and integration into your broader monitoring network.
Built for both indoor and outdoor installations, this robust logger is well-protected against environmental conditions, ensuring durability and consistent performance in any setting. The FL1500 is available in two models: basic and advanced, offering you the flexibility to choose the level of functionality that best suits your needs.
