Fluidwell E126-EL Explosion Proof Flowcomputer | ATEX/IECEx

The Fluidwell E126-EL Explosion Proof Flowcomputer is a high-end hazardous area instrument designed for advanced flow calculation and process safety. Engineered for the most demanding explosive atmospheres, this flowcomputer provides real-time compensated flow rates and totalization, ensuring absolute precision for both liquid and gas applications in volatile environments.

Description

Advanced Compensation and Process Safety

The Fluidwell E126-EL Explosion Proof Flowcomputer serves as a sophisticated brain for your flow measurement system. Unlike basic indicators, the E126-EL can process multiple signal inputs—including pulse, 0-20mA, or 4-20mA—to calculate corrected flow rates based on temperature and pressure variations. This level of computation is essential for industries where accuracy directly impacts profitability and safety. Its dual-alarm functionality provides critical oversight, allowing for independent High/Low alerts that safeguard equipment from overpressurization or dry-running.

Standardized Interface for Hazardous Environments

As a premier member of the Fluidwell E-Series, this instrument follows the “Know one, know them all” configuration philosophy. This standardized menu structure allows technicians to commission the Fluidwell E126-EL Explosion Proof Flowcomputer in minutes, significantly reducing time spent in restricted or dangerous areas. The unit features a UV-resistant, impact-tested glass window and a heavy-duty housing. For safer field operation, the device supports through-glass capacitive touch keys, enabling operators to navigate menus and check totals without ever breaking the flameproof seal of the enclosure.

Robust Communication and Data Integrity

Integration into modern facility networks is effortless. The E126-EL offers advanced communication protocols, including HART and Modbus RTU (RS485), facilitating seamless data exchange with PLC or SCADA systems. To guarantee data security, the unit features an automatic backup function that stores all configuration settings, totals, and accumulated totals in non-volatile EEPROM memory. This ensures that even during a total power loss, your critical process data remains 100% secure.
