Signal Input

  • 4-20mA

Applications

The F090 takes operating energy from an input current (2-wire 4-20mA) and reduces installation cost. It accepts a wide range of process instruments, including flow (linear or square root), level, pressure and temperature transmitters. All these process parameters can be displayed in their own engineering units. The F090 is available with Intrinsic Safety for hazardous area applications.

Power Supply

  • Loop-powered

OVERVIEW

Introduction

The F090 is a local indicator to display the actual process value, range and loop current. 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 Span, offset 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 5½ large 26mm (1") digits to show the main process information. At the bottom line, smaller 8mm (0.31") alphanumerical digits are available to display the measuring unit and additional messages in case of an alarm; range error e.g. With the piegraph, an actual range indication is offered in a single glance. If desired, additional information can be presented after pressing the select key, like the actual loop current and the 0% and 100% process value. As the F090 has been designed for field mounted applications, a smart display update function has been incorporated to achieve a readable display even at -40°C (-40°F).

Backlight

For those applications where readability during day and night might is an issue, a bi-color backlight is available. The background color can be set to 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 and baffling codes. Once familiar with one F-series product, you will be able to program all models in the series without a manual. All settings are safely stored in EEPROM memory in the event of sudden power failure.

Signal Input

The F090 does accept 4-20mA input signals only. The input signal type can be tuned and set by the user in the configuration menu without having to adjust any sensitive mechanical dip-switches, jumpers or trimmers.

Power Supply

The F090 is designed to be a loop-powered indicator, which means it takes its operating energy from an input current (2-wire 4-20mA).

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).

Enclosures

Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA approved. As standard the F090 is supplied in a rugged 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 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): F090-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
  1. see the price of the fully configured model
  2. have an opportunity to purchase the product
  3. have the capability to e-mail the configuration to us, yourself, or a third person
