The KEP Squirt is a compact, loop-powered indicator designed to provide a local rate and total display from a standard 4-20 mA process signal. It is capable of accepting either linear or square root inputs, making it suitable for use with a variety of flow meters and other transmitters that require signal characterization .

The device features a user-selectable rate display of 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 digits, along with a dedicated 8-digit totalizer. Programming is straightforward via the front keypad, with easy-to-read menu prompts that guide the user through calibration and configuration, eliminating the need for dip switches or potentiometers . Numeric password protection safeguards the configuration menu from unauthorized changes.

The Squirt utilizes 16-bit A/D resolution for accurate signal conversion. It includes an isolated scaled pulse output that can be used to drive a remote totalizer or interface with other equipment. The unit is powered entirely by the 4-20 mA loop, requiring no external power source, which simplifies installation and reduces wiring costs .
