This warranty does not cover any damage or discoloration caused by corrosion due to gases, liquids, or any other source, nor does it cover normal wear of any seals in its products and with gases other than air, or unless otherwise specified in the contract. Such returns are contingent on Sierra's examination and reasonable satisfaction that any defects are covered by this warranty and that the Buyer has not returned the equipment in a damaged condition, due to any negligence, tampering, misapplication or product modification on the part of the Buyer or his agents. Sierra shall not be liable for installation charges, for expenses of Buyer for repairs or replacement, for damages from delay or loss of use, or other indirect or consequential damages of any kind.

Sierra extends this warranty only to Sierra products properly used and properly installed for the particular application for which intended and quoted, and this warranty does not cover products which have been modified without Sierra's approval or which have been subjected to unusual physical or electrical stress, alteration, or tampering, or upon which the original identification marks have been removed or altered. Whenever the design of the equipment to be furnished or the system in which it is to be incorporated originates with the Buyer, Sierra's warranty is limited specifically to matters relating to furnishing Sierra equipment free of defects in materials and workmanship and Sierra assumes no responsibility for implied warranties of fitness for purpose or use. Any replacement or repair shall be to Sierra's factory, unless otherwise directed. No items shall be returned for warranty repair without prior written authorization from Sierra.

Note: Sierra’s InnovaSwitch™ Flow Level Switches come with a two (2) year warranty with the above stipulations. 

Lifetime Limited Warranty on Patented DrySense™ Sensor Technology

In addition to Sierra’s standard one (1) year manufacturing warranty on all instruments produced, Sierra also offers a lifetime warranty on all DrySense™ sensors standard with Sierra models 640i, 780i, 640S, 780S, and 670S instruments sold after January 1, 2010.  This warranty does not extend to the Model 620S, the BoilerTrak™, the HT (High Temperature) 640S/780S sensor or the 780S UHP (Ultra High Purity) sensors. To assure warranty service, customers must register their products online on Sierra’s website.

Product Information

The InnovaSonic® 210i portable ultrasonic flow meter succeeds at delivering expanded functionality and field portability when a permanent installation is not required.  The 210i is a complete liquid measurement kit with portable clamp-on transducers featuring a small handheld display interface with bright color display and push buttons. While principally designed for clean liquids, the 210i portable meter will operate effectively with the minimal quantity of air bubbles or suspended solids found in most industrial applications. Its high-powered ultrasonic pulse with improved digital signal processing requires just one set of transducers for a wide range of pipe sizes and materials including metal, plastic and concrete.

The handheld battery powered 210i is ideal for precisely measuring a wide range of liquid flows in pipes up to 236 inches (6000 mm).

Utilizing universal transit-time technology the 210i portable, hand-held flow meter measures the time it takes an ultrasonic signal to travel a known distance with the flow stream and another signal travelling against the flow stream, determining the velocity of the fluid being measured. The 210i measurement is independent of fluid conductivity to allow a wider applicability compared to magnetic meters.
