 "summary": "The TFX Ultra is a clamp-on transit-time ultrasonic flow meter; energy models add two temperature inputs. On BACnet MS/TP it serves 11 analog inputs (signal strength, rate, three totalizers, both temperatures in °C and °F, flow in GPM and LPM) and a binary output that resets the totalizers.",
