OTT Z400

Counterset for current meter flow measurements

The digital counter OTT Z400 is a time-saving device for flow measurements with hydrometric current meters. It automatically records the number of propeller revolutions by counting the impulses. Besides, it can output the velocity of flow immediately after the measurement (optional). The OTT Z400 may be used for current meter measurements on rod as well as for floating current meters and features optimal adjusted measurement modes for both.
  • Spot
  • Numbers of pulses
  • Compact handy counter for mechanical current meters with optional display of velocity of flow and integrated user software for the management of calibration tables
  • 50 Hz (680 Ohm), 100 Hz
  • ± 0,01 s / ± 0,5 Impulse

  • Different modes, adapted to the application: Pulse, Time and integration measurement
  • Integration measurement especially for measurements with suspended current meters with e.g cable way: Z400 determines the number of pulses and the time from immersion of the current meter to the closing of the ground contact.
  • Exact calculation of the flow rate (optional): Z400 uses the individual equation of the current meter
  • The USB interface simply entering the basic settings on the PC, alternatively directly at counter set

    I want to enter the equations for 'velocity measuring' and I need to 'Enter Key Code'. What do I need to enter?

    If you connect the Z400 to your PC via USB, it will act like a memory stick, so you will see several files. Open the file Z400.exe will enable you to access all settings easily. If you ordered a Z400 with velocity option you can enter also the equations for up to 30 mechanical current meters. But if you ordered the simple Z400 version, the program will ask you for the 'Key Code' to enable this feature. Since this feature is not for free, please contact your OTT sales representative to order the ‘Key Code’.

    I ordered the Z400 version with key code and I could enter the equations but the Z400 doesn’t show me the velocity and I cannot select the equation number (‘#’ is not shown). What should I do to see the velocity in the display of the Z400?

    Probably the configuration file got corrupt. Please open the file ‘configuration.ini’ with an editor (make a backup of the file before!) and delete everything except the following lines (instead of ‘…’ there should be an individual numerical code). If you don’t succeed, please send in the Z400 for repair.
