Open Channel Monitoring
Open Channel Monitoring (OCM)
An OCM installation is defined one of three ways, based on the Primary Measuring
Device (PMD):
1. Dimensional (P600 = 2,3,6,7)
For some common weir and flume types. PMD dimensions (P602) are entered directly.
• BS-3680 / ISO 1438/1 Thin plate V notch weir on page 68
• BS-3680 / ISO 4359 Rectangular Flume on page 69
• Palmer Bowlus Flume on page 70
• H Flume on page 71
2. Exponential (P600 = 1)
For most other weir and flume types. PMD exponents provided by the manufacturer are
entered. Flow is calculated using the exponent (P601) and the maximum values (P603 and
P604).
• Standard Weirs on page 72
• Parshall Flume on page 73
• Leoplod Lagco on page 74
• Cut Throat Flume on page 75
3. Universal (P600 = 4,5)
For all other PMDs, the head-to-flow curve can be plotted based on known breakpoints,
usually supplied by the PMD manufacturer.

Common Parameters
These Quick Start parameters are required for all installations.
Parameter Index Value Description
P001 G 6 Operation = OCM
P002 G 1 Material = liquid
P003 G 2 Max. Process Speed = medium

P005 G 1 Units = meters
P006 G 1.8 Empty = 1.8m
P007 G 1.0 Span = 1.4m
P801 G 0.8 Range Extension to avoid LOE
