Transmitter/Electronics
Enclosure
NEMA 4X [IP64], anodized aluminum
Operating Temperature
-40 °F to 160 °F [-40 °C to 71 °C]
Output Signals
Standard:
(1) Relay (SPDT, 1A @ 24 Vdc); [1A @ 24 Vdc / 120 Vac, FM and
FMc only] or (1) Open Collector N-Channel MOSFET (100 mA);
(1) 4-20 mA * (500 Ω max. load). User scalable, general purpose,
un-calibrated output proportional to flow rate for trend monitoring.
(1) RS232C Serial I/O
(For linearized, calibrated analog outputs see FCI thermal mass
flow meter products)
* Fault indication per NAMUR NE43 guidelines, user selectable
high (> 21.0 mA) or low (< 3.6 mA)
Other Digital Comms: Contact FCI
Display
10 LED array, red; sequential lighting proportional to flow trend and
flashes at setpoint
User Interface
Two top-mounted push buttons to program switch/trip point, zero and
span setting, relay hysteresis and time delay; button operation may
be user disabled to prevent unwanted changes; all set-up functions
also programmable via RS232C port
Input Power
24 Vdc (21.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc); maximum 2.5 watts
Remote Configuration
Transmitter/electronics may be remote-mounted from flow element
using interconnecting cable; remote flow element available with
potted cable in 6’, 15’ or 30’ [2m, 5m or 10m] length and M12 con-
nection plug at electronics; optional extended temperature service to
500 °F [260 °C] with selection of PTFE jacketed cable.
