The Insight flowmeters are specifically designed for use on fire apparatus where flowing water is often turbulent and unsteady. This hi-tech indicating device is compact to take up minimal panel space and built rugged to withstand the conditions found at fire scenes today.

The Insight System:

• All Insight displays are the same and can be set to display the flow rate for any diameter pipe by using the push-buttons located on the front of the display.
• An Insight display directly connected to the sensor is called the primary display.
• An Insight display that shows the same flow as the primary is the remote display. Connecting a remote display to FRC datalink cable and then configure it to match the primary through the push-button interface.
• An Insight display configured to show the actual flow rate of several discharges is called a summing display. Connect an Insight display to the datalink and then configure it as a summing display through the push-button interface.
• An Insight display configured to show the total accumulated flow rate through several discharges is called an accumulating display. Connect an Insight display to the datalink and then configure it as an acculumating display through the push-button interface.
• Calibration of the Insight to a known reference can be performed by using the push-buttons located on the front of the display.
• All flow sensors are paddlewheel type.

Plumbing The Flow Sensor:

• The proper installation of the flow sensor is essential. The final accuracy of the digital flow display will be based on the plumbing choices made at installation.
