Volume conversion device with fl exible data logging function and confi gurable serial interface - Volume conversion for billing purposes • T, PT, PTZ volume conversion - Data logging for different applications • Conforms to European standard - Monitoring of measurement values und station functions Brief information • Compressibility calculated The EK220 is a battery-operated volume convertor. The device records the low frequency in accordance with different methods operating volume pulses of a gas meter, measures the operating pressure and tempera-ture of the gas and calculates the compressibility K as well as the conversion factor C. The • Flexible, integrated data logging standard volumes, standard fl ow rates and operating fl ow rates can be calculated using this initial data.

• Second pressure sensor for monitoring purposes (option) Station monitoringIn addition to volume conversion and data logging, the EK220 may be used for the fl ex-ible data recording of different measurements and, in conjunction with either a modem or RTU, for system monitoring.
Two additional digital inputs can be used for registering and monitoring the signal sen-sors such as the safety shut-off valves on regulators, the differential pressure switches in fi lters or for a simple door contact. The signals from such sensors can be saved in an archive as an event and can also be sent as a spontaneous message by text message or by e-mail via a connected modem.
The volume convertor may optionally be fi tted with a second external pressure sensor, which allows to record the inlet or outlet pressure of the measuring system, or to monitor its limit values.
