F118 Safe area / Intrinsically safe – Flow rate Monitor / Totalizer

The F118 is a versatile flow rate indicator / totalizer with the ability to precisely linearize the flowmeter signal. In addition to the average K-Factor or Span, ten linearization points can be entered with their frequencies or values.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Ten point linearization of the flow curve – with interpolation.
  • Flow rate monitoring: two alarm values can be set: low and high flow rate alarm.
  • Alarm values can be changed by the operator or they can be password protected.
  • Analog and pulse outputs.
  • The display shows linearized flow rate, total, accumulated total, alarm values, alarm messages and status.
  • Flow rate: seven 8mm (0.31″) digits.
  • Total – resettable: seven 17mm (0.67″) digits.
  • Accumulated total – not resettable: eleven 8mm (0.31″) digits.
  • Separate engineering units for flow rate and total on the display.
  • Up to three configurable alarm or scaled pulse outputs.
  • Displays clear alarm messages.
  • LED backlight.
  • Intrinsically safe according ATEX and IECEx.
  • GRP, Aluminum or high grade stainless steel enclosure.
  • Auto backup of settings and running totals in EEPROM memory.
  • Ambient temperature: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
  • Various accessories are available for this product.

Typical Applications

  • Liquid flow measurement with mechanic flowmeters where a precise calculation over the full measurement range and continuous flow rate monitoring is required.
  • The F-Series is your first and best choice for field mount indicators in safe and hazardous area applications. Especially in harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, sandy deserts, salty atmospheres and temperatures between -40°C up to +70°C (-40°F up to 158°F).

Advantages

  • Robust aluminum or stainless steel 316L field enclosure (IP65, IP67 / NEMA Type4X) .
    It is so rugged, a truck can even stand on it!
  • Intrinsically Safe available - ATEX and IECEx approval for gas and dust applications.
  • Familiar easy operation with the Fluidwell "Know one, know them all" configuration structure, saving time, cost and aggravation.
  • Very diverse mounting possibilities: walls, pipes, panels or directly onto outdoor sensors.
