Applications

For those applications where instead of two just one indicator is desired. Alternative basic model: two F050's.

OVERVIEW


Introduction

The F151 incorporates two fully separated pressure indicators in one enclosure. There is no relationship between the inputs, even different measuring units can be used. A wide selection of options is availabe to further enhance this models capabilities, including Intrinsic Safety and full Modbus communication.

Display

The display has large 17mm (0.67”) and 8mm (0.31”) digits. For each pressure input, on-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection. The measuring unit is displayed together with the input channel information A or B. The F151 can be set to select the channel to display manually or with an automatic toggle function.

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 F151 will accept (0)4 - 20mA or 0 - 10V input signals from a pressure transducer. Both signal inputs require the same signal type, but different measuring ranges are allowed. Also available is an input loop powered version where the measuring range is 4 - 20mA.

Communication

All process data and settings can be read and modified manually or through the Modbus communication link (RS232 / RS485). Full Modbus functionality remains available for the Intrinsically Safe version (TTL).

Hazardous area

For hazardous area applications, this model has been ATEX certified Intrinsically Safe ATEX Certification II 1 GD EEx ia IIB / IIC T4 T100°C with an allowed operational temperature of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). A flame proof enclosure is also available with the rating ATEX Certification II 2 GD EEx d IIB T5.

Enclosures

Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX approved. As standard the F151 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: F151-A-AX-CX-EX-HC-IX-OX-PX-TX-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 or c-us), 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
