PS-260

PS-260 Flow Meter Payload Decoder

The PS-260 decoder publishes flow in engineering units for utility branches and process lines. It is not a custody-transfer cert unless the quote says so.

Install before you trust the numbers

Isolate the line, fit the specified couplings, and zero after fill. Wrong orientation or air in the line will decode cleanly and still be wrong.

Paste this profile only onto PS-260 hardware. Pressure and leak payloads use different fields.

Byte offsets live in the decoder file shipped with the kit. If the first uplink disagrees with this example, trust the shipment file and the factory functional-test record.

FAQ

Is this legal for custody transfer?

Only if your quote explicitly includes a certified accuracy class. Most stock kits are for trend and allocation.

Can I reuse a pressure decoder?

No. Flow and pressure are separate profiles on the same application.

What unit is flow?

The unit on the quoted datasheet. Record it in the commissioning pack.

Where is the industrial solution page?

The industrial sensing page describes how flow, pressure, and leak share one gateway.
