ScioSense launches UFC23 ultrasonic f ow converter for high-precision, ultra-low-power smart metering

T e new UFC23 sensor combines improved resolution and of set stability with ultra-low standby current, enabling high-end battery-powered water, heat, gas and leak detection meter designs across a wide range of smart metering applications.

cioSense, a leading developer and manufacturer of semiconductor-based environmental and ? ow sen- th sors, today launched the UFC23 – the 4 generation

Sultrasonic ? ow converter for measurement in water, heat and gas meters.

How can meter manufacturers improve measurement accu- racy, extend battery life, and retain control of their preferred system architecture? In modern applications, ? ow calculation is increasingly handled by a central host microcontroller – re- quiring a converter that can deliver accurate measurement at very low ? ow rates and long battery life, two demands that are often dif? cult to achieve together. The UFC23 is designed for meter manufacturers that want very high measurement preci- sion and extremely low power consumption, while keeping ? ow calculation on their own central microcontroller.
