The FloPro XCi can be used to measure and record flow and water quality sensors together with vital mining, municipal and industrial equipment and assets. Whether your application requires measuring flow as well as conductivity, pH, rainfall or simply water level in a pond, the FloPro XCi is fully expandable to your needs. Furthermore, FloPro XCi is easily interfaced to SCADA/telemetry systems and, if equipped with the optional WebComm card, your data is accessible 24/7 via the MACE website. The FloPro XCi is low-cost, upgradeable, is easy to install, easy to use, has no moving parts, is virtually maintenance free and provides minimal obstruction to the flow. The system utilizes state of the art MACE Doppler ultrasonic sensors to produce superior results under a wide range of operating conditions such as encountered in wastewater and storm water flows. The FloPro XCi is a dependable flow meter which will provide accurate, repeatable data even when the pipe slope is unknown, in surcharge, or flowing in reverse and, like all flow measurement methods, will give excellent long-term performance if installed in the right channel and flow conditions. Continuous wave Doppler devices need good approach conditions with uniform, non-turbulent velocity in the upstream channel. With the addition of application specific sensors and circuit cards, the MACE FloPro XCi includes everything you need to get up and monitoring, usually in just a few hours. The data logger, battery, controller and application specific sensor cards are all housed inside the ruggedized weatherproof XCi enclosure. The enclosure has an LCD display on the front face which allows the user to view all their site data. The below illustration shows a FloPro XCi system monitoring storm water through a culvert, the rainfall in a rain gauge and a sampler to analyze the water runoff in the culvert.

Sensors
- Doppler Ultrasonic Velocity Sensor, ZX Snap Strap mounted ( Snap Strap was designed by MACE to easily install Doppler ultrasonic area/velocity and velocity sensors into pipes ranging in size from 8″ to 32″ ), this sensor is used for velocity measurements in full pipes or open channels when used in conjunction with a depth sensor.
- Doppler Ultrasonic Area/Velocity Sensor, ZX Snap Strap mounted, this sensor combines both velocity and depth measurements in partially full pipes or open channels.
- Doppler Ultrasonic Insert Velocity Sensor, inserted through the side of a pipe, measures velocity in full or partially full pipes when used in conjunction with a Mace EchoFlo Ultrasonic Depth Sensor.
- Add-On Sensors, the FloPro XCi can be configured to monitor a diverse range of water quantity and quality sensors.
