The Type 8012 'star' paddle-wheel flowmeter for continuous flow measurement and control is suitable for a wide array of applications in water and waste treatment, cooling systems, general manufacturing and OEM applications.
The compact flowmeter operates under both magnetic and optical measurement principles. The unit is designed for use in neutral, aggressive, solid-free liquids in the magnetic measuring version and use in liquids (that allow infrared signals to pass) in the optic measuring form. The presence of optical sensors also delivers flow direction detection capabilities and programmable limit values.
The flowmeter comprises an electronic module and fluidic fitting. The electronic module offers programmable frequency/switch pulse and analog 4-20 mA signal outputs. Straightforward programming is via USB port interface for fast set-up and commissioning. The same USB programming unit may be used for multiple meters.
The flowmeter delivers a measurement range 0.5 to 1200 L/min with inline pressure to 10 bar (16 bar with alternative fitting material options). It delivers accuracy linearity of less than 0.5% and operates with 12-36 VDC. It is suitable for process media temperatures of -15 to +100°C (with PVDF, brass or SS fittings). Electrical connections are M12 plug for IP67 protection, or DIN cable plug for IP65 protection.
Fluidic fittings are available in stainless steel, brass, PVC, PP or PVDF, for pipes ½ to 2" (DN6-DN50). With threaded, butt weld-ends and clamp ports, the meter integrates in pipe systems without any additional piping.
