Fluidwell E018 Explosion Proof Flow Rate Monitor | ATEX/IECEx

The Fluidwell E018 Explosion Proof Flow Rate Monitor is a premier hazardous-area indicator designed for high-stakes industrial environments. Engineered with a rugged explosion-proof enclosure and global certifications, this monitor provides real-time flow rate visualization and totalization while ensuring absolute safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Description

Advanced Process Safety in Hazardous Zones

The Fluidwell E018 Explosion Proof Flow Rate Monitor acts as a sophisticated guard for your flow systems. It processes pulse and analog signals from various flowmeters to provide accurate, real-time data. Its standout feature is the dual limit value monitoring, allowing for two independent alarms. These alarms can be configured to detect high or low flow conditions, protecting your pumps from dry-running or preventing line over-pressurization in critical zones.

Seamless Integration and Communication

As part of the Fluidwell E-Series, this monitor follows a “Know one, know them all” configuration philosophy, drastically reducing commissioning time. The E018 goes beyond simple display by offering HART communication protocol. This allows for easy remote configuration and integration into centralized control systems. Whether you are using pulse, 0-20mA, or 4-20mA inputs, the E018 ensures your data is transmitted accurately and securely.

Rugged Engineering for Extreme Conditions

Reliability is the core of the Fluidwell E018 Explosion Proof Flow Rate Monitor. Housed in a heavy-duty aluminum or stainless steel enclosure, it is designed to withstand the harshest environmental stressors. The unit features a UV-resistant glass window and is rated for extreme temperature ranges. To ensure data integrity, all totals and configuration settings are automatically stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, preventing any data loss during power outages or maintenance cycles.
