Making Installation Easier
With the InnovaSonic 207i’s clamp-on sensors, there’s no pipe cutting or expensive plumbing.
The 207i features a large backlit display and dual-function keypad with audible feedback. With its visual sensor spacing tool on the local display or using the software app, slightly move the sensors together or apart to position the indicator line between the “goal posts” and assure optimal signal strength.
World Class Calibration
Learn how to easily install and operate the InnovaSonic 207i Transit-Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter for thermal energy/BTU and liquid applications in this technical training video.
Every flow meter is only as good as its calibration. To assure the highest accuracy possible, each InnovaSonic is calibrated at Sierra’s flow calibration facility in Monterey, California which consistently delivers calibration accura-cies of +/- 0.2% of reading.
All calibrations follow the guidelines of ISO 17025 and are directly traceable to national standards such as NIST (United States National Institute of Standards and Technology).
Fully automated, once flow application data is programmed, calibration automation software manages all aspects of flow calibration testing. High-speed time-aligned data acquisition and performance analysis over the entire flow measurement range occurs. A calibration certificate documenting instrument performance is then generated.
Sierra’s Big-3 Technologies
The InnovaSonic 207i is one of three advanced flow meter technologies Sierra has developed to help facility managers tackle tough energy management challenges.
For what we call our Big-3, Sierra has become a recognized expert in thermal mass (QuadraTherm®), vortex shedding (InnovaMass®), and transit-time ultrasonic (InnovaSonic®). Sierra is the only company in the USA to manufacture all three flow technologies.
The Big-3 are optimized to be a complete solution for flow energy measurement—facility flows that impact costs like compressed air, natural gas, steam, and hot or chilled water. As new apps and improvements become available, all Big-3 technologies benefit and are field firmware upgradable.
