The Micro Motion 1600 is a compact transmitter designed for compatible Micro Motion Coriolis flow and density meters. It processes sensor signals to provide measurement variables such as mass flow, density, and temperature, with additional calculated variables depending on the connected meter and configuration.
Designed for straightforward installation and system integration, the 1600 supports multiple communication options and configurable I/O. Its data historian records process events and measurement stability information, while Smart Meter Verification helps assess meter performance without interrupting normal process operation.
