FLSC90-A Signal Conditioner shown with
FP9001A Fiber-Optic Flow Sensor (sold separately)
NEWPORT’s Model FLSC90-A fiber-optic signal conditioner
has been designed to interface directly with FP9001A LIGHTSPEEDTM paddlewheel flow sensors. The FLSC90-A provides
a high intensity light source to the patented paddlewheel sensor
through a semi-flexible duplex fiber-optic cable. Returning light
pulses are measured and converted by the signal conditioner’s
electronics to a scalable analog output that is proportional to
the flowrate. The ability of the paddle wheel flow sensor to operate
in harsh and heavy electrical noise environments via the fiber
optic cable link makes this system ideal for such applications.
The industry standard 4-20 mA or 1-5 Vdc analog output can connect
directly to many of NEWPORT’s process meters, controllers, dataloggers
or data acquisition systems.
