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.
