Fluidwell B-Basic Flow Rate Indicator | Compact & Reliable

The Fluidwell B-Basic Flow Rate Indicator is an essential, cost-effective solution designed for local flow monitoring in safe areas. Built to deliver clarity and reliability without unnecessary complexity, this indicator provides a clear visualization of both flow rate and total, making it the perfect choice for standard industrial applications.

Description

Reliable Local Flow Monitoring Simplified

The Fluidwell B-Basic Flow Rate Indicator is developed specifically for users who need a dependable local display without the added costs of advanced communication or hazardous area certifications. This indicator excels at converting pulse signals from various flowmeters into meaningful data, showing the current flow rate and a resettable total simultaneously. Its streamlined design focuses on the core necessities of flow tracking, providing a “no-nonsense” tool for process oversight.

Durable Construction for Field Use

Despite its position as a basic model, the B-Basic does not compromise on build quality. It is housed in a professional-grade GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyamide) enclosure that is both lightweight and incredibly tough. Rated IP65 (Type 4), the unit is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, ensuring longevity when mounted directly on pipelines or walls in industrial facilities.

Intuitive Operation and Data Security

One of the primary advantages of the B-Basic series is its user-friendly interface. The configuration menu is logical and easy to navigate, allowing for rapid setup and scaling to match your specific flowmeter’s K-factor. To safeguard your important process information, the indicator features an automatic data backup system. All configuration settings and totals are stored in non-volatile memory, meaning your data remains intact even during battery changes or power interruptions.
