The conformity was established by the results of tests and examinations provided in the associated reports:

No. NMi-2546746-01 dated 30 November 2023 that includes 127 pages.

Characteristics of the electronic calculating and indicating device

In Table 1 the general characteristics of the electronic calculating and indicating device are presented. The construction of the electronic calculating and indicating device is recorded in the Documentation folder no. TC12658-1.

$ \mathrm{Sigma}^{3} $ is a panel mounted or rack mounted flow computer designed for fiscal measurement, custody transfer and batch loading of petroleum products in liquid phases. $ \mathrm{Sigma}^{3} $ can be configured in single or multi stream operation with dual pulse input.

It consists of 8 channels of pure HART and 8 channels of analog I/O with HART.

16 channels for digital input are also available.

Sigma $ ^{3} $ is equipped with a 7" touch screen for easy setup and control. Serial and Ethernet communication ports and runs in a Linux environment on ARM architecture

The Sigma $ ^{3} $ is always combined with the human interface software type HMI-207CE by the same

manufacturer that can be used on a remote computer and is intended for reading measurements, stored measurement data and for setting of parameters for the flow computer. This can act as an additional indicating device of the flow computer.
