  • (0)4 - 20mA / 0 - 10V DC according to the pressure.

OVERVIEW


Introduction

The F153 is a versatile pressure indicator with continous pressure monitoring feature. It offers the facility to set two low pressure and two high pressure alarm values. If desired, an ignore function can be set up to allow for an incorrect pressure for a certain period of time. Up to four outputs are available to transmit the alarm condition. A wide selection of options 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 which displays the pressure, measuring unit and alarm values. The alarm values can be password protected. On-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection.

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.

Analog Output Signal

The actual pressure is re-transmitted with the (0)4 - 20mA or 0 - 10V DC output signal. The output signal is updated ten times per second with a filter function being available to smoothen out the signal if desired. The output value is user defined in relation to the pressure, e.g. 4mA equals to 10 bar and 20mA equals to 100 bar. The output signal can be passive, active or isolated where the passive output type will loop power the F153 as well.

Alarm Output

Up to four configurable outputs are available to transmit the alarm condition. You can have e.g. two the same low alarm outputs, one high alarm output and one "all alarms" output. Type OS offers four mechanical relay outputs. However, only two outputs are available in Intrinsically Safe aplications. Three outputs are available in all other configurations. The output signals can be a passive NPN, active PNP or an isolated electro-mechanical relay.

Signal Input

The F153 accepts (0)4 - 20mA and 0 - 10V DC input signals from any type of pressure measurement device.

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 F153 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.

HAZARDOUS AREA APPLICATIONS

The F153-XI has been ATEX approved by KEMA for use in Intrinsically Safe applications. It is approved according to ATEX Certification II 1 GD EEx ia IIB/IIC T4 T100°C for gas and dust applications with an operational temperature range of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). Besides the I.S. power supplies for the two alarm outputs, it is allowed to connect up to three I.S. power supplies in IIB applications or one in IIC applications. Full functionality of the F153 remains available, including two alarm outputs and 4 - 20mA output and Modbus communication (type CT).

ORDERING INFORMATION

Standard Model Number Configuration: F153-A-AP-CX-EX-HC-IX-OT-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
