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.
