AquaProbe FEA100
The AquaProbe FEA100 extends the capability of the ABB
AquaProbe flowmeter by bringing together the proven
AquaProbe flow sensor with the innovative WaterMaster
transmitter.
AquaProbe has been designed, in close consultation with the
water industry, as an economic alternative to full-bore
metering. It comprises an electromagnetic sensing head
mounted on the end of a support rod. The sensing head can
be installed in existing pipelines without the need for the
major excavations or alterations to pipework associated with
full-bore meters. It can be fitted without interrupting the
water supply and can be removed easily for periodic
calibration or inspection.
AquaProbe is designed for installation in existing pipelines by
means of a small valved tapping. It is normally installed with
the sensing head on the pipe centreline, but may be located
at the critical position (the mean velocity position) a distance
of 1/8 of the pipe diameter away from the wall.
It provides an accurate local measurement of the water
velocity and, provided the flow profile is developed fully, a
good flow volume measurement.

AquaProbe flow sensor
The high sensitivity of AquaProbe enables it to traverse the
pipe to establish the flow profile and so identify hydraulic
problems in complex systems or ensure maximum accuracy
from an AquaProbe that has been installed in a non-ideal
location.
If the profile is not fully developed, a traverse of the pipe can
be performed, enabling an accurate flow volume
measurement to be obtained in non-ideal networks.
Key features include the wide flow range with the minimum
measured velocity (well below that detected by insertion
turbine or DP devices), no moving parts resulting in increased
reliability and reduced maintenance.
AquaProbe is ideal for permanent installation to monitor
potable or clean water flow. Also through the provision of
multiple tappings on the supply pipelines, AquaProbe can be
used as a portable survey tool to assist in the building of an
accurate network model, locate leaks and check the operation
of installed full-bore meters.
Based on ABB-proven technology, AquaProbe is supported by
the expertise of ABB, the world’s leading flow meter
manufacturer with many pioneering advances in water flow
metering over the last decade – for example, AquaMag™,
WaterMaster™, AquaProbe™ and CalMaster™.
ABB operate nationally- and internationally-accredited flow
calibration facilities in the UK, Germany, USA, Australia, China
and India. We also offer comprehensive, locally based before-
and after-sales service.

Support software
AquaProbe FEA100 also has on-board remote communication
ability, such as interfacing to PROFIBUS DP and HART, that
enables the user to collect data remotely.
ABB also supply ScrewDriver, an enhanced software that
provides users with all-round improved profile analysis, flow
profiling set-up, downloading and display options when used
in conjunction with a WaterMaster transmitter.

Improved performance through
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) gives improved
performance and enables real-time measurements for
maximum reliability.
DSP enables the transmitter to separate the real signal from
the noise, providing high quality outputs especially in harsh
environments involving vibration, hydraulic noise and
temperature fluctuation.

Intuitive navigation and configuration
The user-friendly interface enables fast and simple data entry
for all parameters. 'Easy Setup' guides the operator step-by-
step through the menu to set parameters as quickly as
possible, simplifying the commissioning phase.
