The FP9000 Series
LIGHTSPEED paddlewheel flow sensors are ideal for applications with
low viscosity solutions (like water) which are low in suspended
solids.
A patented fiber-optic sensing mechanism makes these
sensors especially well-suited for applications in hazardous
environments, where the paddlewheel electronics can be mounted in a
non-hazardous location and the near-infrared light signal can be
sent down the optic cable to the paddlewheel inside the hazardous
location. This non-magnetic design tolerates some rust, often found
in iron pipes. The FP9001A flow sensors must be used with the
companion FP9001A pipe installation fittings.
The high amplitude pulse
output from the FP9P-T
opto-electronic interface is ideally suited for hook up to the model INF7
ratemeter/totalizer. For 4-20 mA output, purchase the FLSC90A
Series signal conditioner (please specify fitting and calibration
range for the 4-20 mA output). Note: the FLSC90A includes the
required optical interface for the FP9001A sensor.
