Fluidwell F043 Safe Area Temperature Monitor – Alarm Indicator

The Fluidwell F043 Safe Area Temperature Monitor is a versatile and rugged indicator designed for continuous temperature measurement in demanding industrial environments. Engineered to provide immediate local feedback, this unit features integrated low and high-temperature alarm values, ensuring process safety without the need for signal re-transmission.

Description

The Fluidwell F043 is more than just a display; it is a critical watchdog for your thermal processes. It allows operators to set one low-temperature and one high-temperature alarm value directly on the device. When a threshold is breached, the F043 provides clear visual cues via a red flashing LED backlight, the intensity of which is adjustable to suit ambient lighting conditions.

Intelligent Alarm Functionality

To prevent false alarms during specific process stages, such as start-up, the F043 includes an ignore (delay) function. This allows for an incorrect temperature reading for a pre-set period before triggering the alarm, offering operational flexibility. The alarm outputs can be configured as a passive NPN transistor, active PNP transistor, or an isolated electro-mechanical relay to integrate seamlessly with external warning systems.

Rugged Construction and Easy Configuration

Designed for longevity, the F043 is housed in a robust Aluminum, GRP, or Stainless Steel 316L enclosure. Its construction is so durable that it is described as capable of withstanding the weight of a truck. Configuration of Span, off-set, and decimals is handled entirely through software functions, eliminating the frustration of dealing with fragile trimmers or DIP-switches.
