It’s a smart packaged monitoring solution that provides remote data access with alerts and alarms. It’s also telemetry-ready for effective low cost control and rapid response. Users can install any combination of the MACE cards shown, in the five available card slots. Choose the right card/s for your application to tailor the AgriFlo to your exact farm requirements now and in the future.Doppler CardThis card supports one MACE Doppler ultrasonic sensor.Doppler Ultrasonic Insert Velocity SensorFor use in full pipes or partially full pipes (when used in conjunction with an EchoFlo depth sensor).Doppler Ultrasonic Velocity SensorZX SnapStrap mounted, velocity sensor for use in full pipes or open channels (when used in conjunction with a depth sensor).Doppler Ultrasonic Area/Velocity SensorZX SnapStrap mounted, combined velocity and depth sensor for use in partially full pipes or open channels.Add-on SensorsAgriFlo XCi can be configured to monitor a diverse range of farm sensors and devices. For example:• Pumps/engines (RPM, pressure, temperature)• Electromagnetic sensor for ground water• EC/pH/rainfall sensors• Pond/dam/tank level measurementController Card1 2 3 4 512V BatteryLCD Display BoardSolar Power (16-30 VDC)I/O CardThis card supports seven sensor inputs and four control outputs including 4-20mA, voltage and digital.The card also supplies 12V to power your add-on sensors.Pulse I/O CardThis card powers (+5VDC or + 12VDC) a single pulsing flow sensor and provides a pulse output. This allows AgriFlo XCi the ability to sense pulses from non-MACE flow sensors.FloSI CardThis card provides an SDI-12 or ModBus output to interface AgriFlo XCi to SCADA systems.WebComm CardThis card provides AgriFlo XCi the ability to automatically upload internal logged data to the web-based MACE Data Server via mobile telephone networks.SDI-12 Master CardThis card provides AgriFlo XCi with the ability to control and log SDI-12 sensors.River Pump StationFlume/WeirDairy WasteFarm Turnout/Lateral DiversionGround Water Pivot IrrigationSolutions using AgriFlo XCiThe AgriFlo XCi can be used to monitor vital farm equipment and on-farm sensors. Use the versatility of AgriFlo XCi to monitor inputs as diverse as: irrigation flows; farm wastewater flows; water quality; dam levels; soil moisture; pump and engine management systems. AgriFlo XCi is easy to install, easy to use and virtually maintenance free. Utilizing state of the art MACE Doppler ultrasonic velocity sensors, AgriFlo has no moving parts and provides minimal obstruction to the flow. MACE Doppler ultrasonic velocity sensors excel in trash laden water and animal waste which means that the meter stays in service longer without time-consuming repairs.AgriFlo XCi - Smart packaged monitoringEasily configure with MACE FloCom+• Free configuration and diagnostic software • Powerful, easy to use Windows® interface• Painless point ‘n’ click channel calibration• No proprietary coding knowledge requiredTrue average velocity measurementMACE velocity sensors use continuous wave Doppler ultrasound to measure the speed of dirt, bubbles and other particles in the stream flow. MACE Doppler ultrasonic sensors “see” particles in water just like turning on a flashlight in fog.In a full pipe, electromagnetic or mechanical insertion devices “see” a golf ball sized velocity profile and then use complex algorithms to calculate velocity. By contrast, MACE Doppler ultrasonic velocity sensors utilizing MACE Advanced Signal Processing (MASP) technology “see” across the entire stream profile to give a true average velocity. Access data remotely with WebComm • MACE WebComm card for GSM/3G gives remote access to your data • Card is powered by and housed in the AgriFlo XCi • Data is pushed from your AgriFlo XCi device to the MACE Data Server where it is available for retrieval on your PC or smartphone• SMS/Email alert subscription service availableReady-to-Go straight out of the box The MACE AgriFlo XCi includes a data logger, LCD display, solar regulator, battery, multiple cards (application dependent) all in one ruggedized weatherproof enclosure. No more hunting around for bits and pieces. In most cases you can be up and monitoring in just a couple of hours. Cost effective flow metering MACE offers the flexible, true value metering solution. When comparing flow meters, consider the TOTAL COST of the flow meter, installation & ongoing maintenance.• In similar sized pipes, AgriFlo XCi is significantly cheaper than other comparable high quality solutions.• AgriFlo XCi is easily installed into existing pipework whether above or below ground - no expensive fittings or re-routing. • A typical single pipe installation can be completed by two people in under two hours.• Because AgriFlo XCi has no moving parts and the sensor cannot foul, there are virtually no ongoing maintenance costs.• Connect up to five flow sensors to a single AgriFlo XCi to reduce your cost per metering point even further. Significant savings for pump stations with more than one pipe.Lockable, ruggedized, weatherproof enclosureCommunications Port
