FP1400 Series flowmeters support various functions

including; two independently programmable flow

totalizers, user programmable low, high or range flow

and temperature alarm, two sets of user programmable

optically isolated outputs, self diagnostic alarm, and

flow pulse output. The flow rate can be displayed

in 29 different volumetric or mass flow engineering

units. Flowmeter parameters and functions can be

programmed locally via optional key pad and LCD

or remotely via the RS232/RS485 interface. Local

2 x 16 LCD readout with adjustable backlight provides

flow rate, temperature, total volume reading in

currently selected engineering units, diagnostic events

indication and feature a password protected access to

the process parameters to ensure against tampering

or resetting.

Liquid flowing through the unit causes the paddlewheel

to spin. As the magnets embedded in the paddle spin

past the sensor, electrical pulses are produced in

which frequency is proportional to the flow rate. The

number of pulses per desired time interval and the

K-factor (number of pulses/gal) make it is possible to

calculate the flow rate and volume passing through

the unit. On board CPU and signal conditioner circuitry

perform accurate flow and total computation, digital

communication and analog 0 to 5 Vdc or 4 to 20 mA

output signals. Non-volatile memory stores all hardware

specific and user programmable variables, including

flow linearization table.
