Description

The OMEGA™ FPB100 Series flow sensor is the next generation in fluid measurement technology.This new sensor is an improvement on what is already an industry standard. It has the addedfunctionality of various output options including flow switch, multi-functional pulse divider or4 to 20 mA. Additionally, it offers low flow, low power and high resolution and can be configuredonsite directly through the built-in user interface. Installation is simple because the OMEGA FPB100Series utilizes the same fittings as the popular OMEGA FP5000 and FP8500 Series paddlewheelsensors and fits into pipe sizes ranging from DN15 to DN200 (0.5 to 8"). Available in polypropylene and PVDF, it is ideal for a variety of applications including chemical processing, water and wastewater monitoring and scrubber control.

Can this be used as a portable flow meter with a battery operated display? Intent is for system testing moving to to various built in tees on a ships chilled water system.

Asked by: David T
refer to page 1 in the manual for the required power supply for this flowmeter.
