Fluidwell E115 Bi-directional Flow Totalizer | Explosion Proof

The Fluidwell E115 Explosion Proof Bi-directional Flow Rate Totalizer is a high-end hazardous area indicator specifically designed for applications where flow occurs in two directions. Housed in a flameproof, heavy-duty enclosure, this instrument provides clear, simultaneous visualization of flow rate and totalized volume for both forward and reverse flows, ensuring total process transparency in explosive atmospheres.

Description

Precision Monitoring for Bi-directional Flow Systems

The Fluidwell E115 Explosion Proof Bi-directional Flow Rate Totalizer serves as an intelligent brain for complex piping systems. By processing quadrature signals or dual pulse inputs from bi-directional flowmeters, the unit automatically detects the direction of the flow. It accurately adds to the total during forward flow and subtracts during reverse flow (or tracks them independently), providing a true net total or separate directional totals. This eliminates manual calculation errors and provides a reliable digital record of fluid movement.

Rugged Engineering for Hazardous Area Performance

As part of the Fluidwell E-Series, this indicator follows the “Know one, know them all” configuration philosophy. This standardized menu structure allows technicians to set up the Fluidwell E115 Explosion Proof Bi-directional Flow Rate Totalizer in minutes, significantly reducing time spent in restricted or hazardous zones. The enclosure is available in die-cast aluminum or Stainless Steel 316L, featuring a UV-resistant, impact-tested glass window. For safer field operation, the unit can be navigated via through-glass capacitive touch keys, maintaining the flameproof integrity of the housing at all times.

Reliable Connectivity and Data Protection

Integration into modern automation networks is seamless with the E115. It offers multiple communication options and outputs, including a galvanically isolated 4-20mA analog output that can be configured to re-transmit the bi-directional flow rate to a centralized SCADA system. To prevent data loss during power outages or system maintenance, all configuration settings, direction parameters, and totals are automatically stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, ensuring 100% data integrity.
