Fluidwell B-Alert Basic Flow Rate Totalizer | Dual Alarms

The Fluidwell B-Alert Basic Flow Rate Totalizer is a compact and reliable indicator designed for local flow monitoring with integrated alarm functionality. Built as a cost-effective solution for safe-area applications, this unit provides a clear, simultaneous display of your flow rate and resettable total, while ensuring critical process limits are never exceeded.

Description

Enhanced Process Safety with Integrated Alarms

The Fluidwell B-Alert Basic Flow Rate Totalizer is developed to meet the core needs of industrial flow measurement with an added layer of security. It efficiently processes pulse signals from a wide array of flowmeters to provide real-time visualization of flow data. What sets the B-Alert apart is its dual limit value monitoring system, allowing operators to set high and low alarm thresholds to protect equipment and maintain consistent process quality.

Durable and Weatherproof Construction

Reliability in the field is guaranteed by a robust Glass Reinforced Polyamide (GRP) field enclosure. The B-Alert is engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, being lightweight yet highly resistant to mechanical impact. Rated IP65 (NEMA Type 4), the unit is shielded against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor installations or industrial wash-down areas.

Versatile Integration and Data Integrity

Integration is simplified through a logic-driven configuration menu that allows for fast scaling to match any flowmeter K-factor. The unit supports various power sources, including a long-life lithium battery, making it ideal for remote sites. To ensure your totals and settings are never lost, the F-Series logic is embedded within, featuring automatic data backup in non-volatile memory that secures your data during battery replacements or power fluctuations.
