OVERVIEW
Introduction
The F070 is is a straight forward level indicator. The measuring unit to be displayed is simply selected through an alphanumerical configuration menu. No adhesive labels have to be put on the outside of the enclosure: a weather proof and user friendly solution!
The configuration of the Span, off-set and number of decimals is done through software functions, without any sensitive dip-switches or trimmers. A wide selection of options further enhance this models capabilities, including Intrinsic Safety for hazardous area applications.
Display
The display has very large 26mm (1") digits which can be set to show level and height or percentage filled. As the F070 has been designed for field mounted applications, a smart display update function has been incorporated. Related to the lower temperatures, the update frequency of the LCD is tuned automatically to achieve a readable display even at -40°C / -40°F.
Backlight
For those applications where readability during day and night is an issue, a bi-color backlight is available. The background color green or amber and the intensity can be adjusted from the keyboard. The display is a transflective type, which means that a high contrast reading is guaranteed in full sunlight as well as during the night. This backlight option is also available Intrinsically Safe.
Configuration
All configuration settings are accessed via a simple operator menu which can be pass-code protected. Each setting is clearly indicated with an alphanumerical description, therefore avoiding confusing abbreviations. All settings are safely stored in EEPROM memory in the event of sudden power failure.
Signal Input
The F070 does accept (0)4-20mA and 0 - 10V input signals from any type of level measurement device. Also a 4-20mA input loop-powered model is available
Power Supply
Several power supply options are available to power the F070 and sensor. A battery powered version with a long life lithium battery which will last up to five years. A 4-20mA input loop-powered version is available as well. A real sensor supply is offered with the 24V AC/DC or 115-230V AC power supply option.
Hazardous Area
For hazardous area applications, this model has been ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA certified Intrinsically Safe for gas and dust applications, with an allowed operational temperature of -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to+158°F). A flame proof enclosure with ATEX certification offers the rating II 2 GD EEx d IIB T5.
Enclosures
Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA approved. As standard the F070 is supplied in a GRP panel mount enclosure, which can be converted to an IP67 / NEMA 4X GRP field mount enclosure by the addition of a back case. Most popular is our rugged aluminum field mount enclosure with IP67 / NEMA 4X rating. Both European or U.S. cable gland entry threads are available.

ORDERING INFORMATION
Standard Model Number Configuration (example): F070-A-HC-PX-XX-ZX
To aid in the construction of a Fluidwell model number a model configurator must be used. The path to this Configurator is contained in the link shown below. However, it would help to first review the options shown below.
NOTE: If you require the product to be Intrinsically Safe (ATEX, IECEx, CSA c-us or FM.), the options you choose should only include those options that carry the ATEX symbol next to them. The Configurator will not allow you to mix and match options, unless the product is to be used in a Safe Area.
Once a new model is generated using the Configurator, you will
- see the price of the fully configured model
- have an opportunity to purchase the product
- have the capability to e-mail the configuration to us, yourself, or a third person
