Fluidwell F013 Safe Area Flow Rate Totalizer | High/Low Alarms

The Fluidwell F013 Safe Area Flow Rate Totalizer is a high-performance indicator designed for precise flow monitoring combined with essential alarm functionalities. This versatile unit provides simultaneous visualization of flow rate, total, and accumulated total, ensuring operators have complete oversight of their process in real-time.

Description

Advanced Alarm Management and Precision Monitoring

The Fluidwell F013 Safe Area Flow Rate Totalizer stands out as a premier solution for industrial flow applications that require more than just simple visualization. This unit features advanced alarm management, offering two configurable limit values. These can be set as low-flow alarms, high-flow alarms, or one of each, providing a critical safety layer for your pumping or distribution systems.

Rugged Field Performance

Durability is a core pillar of the F-Series design. The F013 is housed in a professional field enclosure—available in GRP, Aluminum, or high-grade Stainless Steel 316L. The construction is famous for its “truck-proof” quality, capable of withstanding extreme mechanical stress and harsh environmental exposure. With IP65, IP67, and NEMA Type 4X ratings, it is fully protected against heavy rain, snow, abrasive desert dust, and salty coastal atmospheres.

Seamless Integration and Reliability

Configuration is simplified through Fluidwell’s signature “Know one, know them all” structure, allowing for rapid setup and minimizing human error. This totalizer is designed to fit perfectly into existing control systems with its 4-20mA analog output and scaled pulse output. Furthermore, the F013 prioritizes data security; an automatic backup feature stores all configuration settings and running totals in non-volatile EEPROM memory, ensuring critical process information is never lost during power interruptions.
