PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Fox Model FT2 Thermal Gas Mass Flowmeter and Temperature Transmitter measures two important process variables in one rugged instrument. The FT2 measures gas flow rate in standard units without the need for temperature or pressure compensation. It provides isolated 4 to 20 mA and pulse outputs for flow rate and a 4 to 20 mA output for process gas temperature. You choose the flow rate and temperature engineering units. An optional on-board 2 x 16 characters, backlit display is available to view flow rate, total, elapse time, process gas temperature, and alarms. The display is also used in conjunction with the Configuration Panel to configure flowmeter settings such as 4 mA and 20 mA for flow rate and temperature, pulse output frequency scaling, pipe area, zero flow cutoff, filtering (dampening), display configurations, diagnostics and high or low alarm limits. If you prefer, you can view measurements and set parameters with an optional Palm PDA instead of the on-board Display and Configuration Panel.

The FT2 is available in insertion and in-line models. The insertion meter is easily installed by drilling a ¾"hole in the pipe and welding on a ¾" NPT coupling. A Fox supplied compressing fitting secures the probe in place. The in-line model is available in ¼-inch to 6-inch sizes and include built in flow conditioners that eliminate the need for long, straight pipe runs. The meter can be ordered with flange or NPT end connections. Both models are supplied with 316 stainless steel wetted materials standard or Hastelloy C-276 as an option.

RS232 for connecting a Palm PDA or computer; RS422/RS485-Modbus, Profibus-DP, DeviceNet and Ethernet give the FT2 flexible communications capability. The FT2 is an advanced Thermal Mass Flowmeter and Temperature Transmitter for your most challenging gas flow measurement applications.

Common Gases: Air, ammonia, argon, biogas, butane, chlorine, compressed air, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, digester gas, ethane, ethylene, helium, hydrogen, methane, mixed gases, natural gas, nitrogen, oxygen, propane, and many more.
