FP9000
 Unique Fiber-Optic
Design for Hazardous Areas
Fiber-Optic
Signal Insensitive to Electrical Interference
Non-Magnetic
Design Resists Fouling from Rust
High Resolution
Pulse Output from FP9P Optical Interface
The FP9000 Series LIGHTSPEED paddlewheel flow sensors
are ideal for applications in which the solutions have low viscosity
(are water-like) and are low in suspended solids. A patented fiber-optic
sensing technique 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
within the hazardous location. This non-magnetic design tolerates
some rust, found in iron pipes. The FP9000 Series flow sensors must
be used with the companion FP9000 Series pipe installation fittings. |
The high amplitude pulse
output from the FP9P opto-electronic interface is ideally suited for hook
up to the model INF7 ratemeter/totalizer. For 4-20 mA output, purchase
the FLSC90 Series signal conditioner. Please specify fitting and calibration
range for the 4-20 mA output. The FLSC90 includes the optical interface
for the FP9000 sensor.
