Seametrics IP800-Series - Manual (Page 3)

GENERAL INFORMATION
The IP800-Series are impeller (or “paddlewheel”) insertion me-
ters designed for use with a wide variety of liquids in pipe sizes
1/2" to 8". Sensors are available in brass, 316 stainless steel,
PVC, and polypropylene. Bodies are machined from a solid rod
for maximum precision. High-quality jewel bearings and nickel-
bound tungsten carbide shafts are used for extreme low friction
and long life. Low-flow performance is good, although other
Seametrics flow meters are recommended where extremely low
flows are being measured.
The rotation of the rotor is detected by a non-drag Hall-effect
sensor. Output is a current-sinking pulse (square wave), which
can be sent long distances (up to 2,000 feet) without a trans-
mitter. This signal can be connected directly to PLC's, counters,
and computer cards, as well as a variety of Seametrics controls
and displays.
Seametrics IP meters are ideal for chemical proportioning ap-
plications. If no display is required, a simple divider such as
the PD10 provides adjustable pump pacing. For rate and total
display, the FT415 (battery powered) or FT420 (loop powered)
flow indicator can be mounted directly on the IP800-Series
meter, or remotely on a wall or panel. The AO55 blind analog
transmitter can be used to convert to a 4-20 mA output. IP
meters are also compatible with the DL76 data logger and
FT520 batch processor.
The IP800-Series require special fittings that ensure correct
depth placement in the pipe. Fittings come in a variety of ma-
terials for compatibility with specific applications. Tee fittings
are individually wet-calibrated at the factory and marked with
the K-factor (pulses per gallon). Saddle fittings must be field-
installed on the pipe and do not come wet-calibrated. K-factors
for saddles are based on factory-testing.
Caution: Clip(s)
must be installed
before use.
