Fluidwell F073 Safe Intrinsically safe Level Monitor

The Fluidwell F073 is a high-performance level monitor designed for precision and safety. Unlike standard indicators, the F073 is Intrinsically Safe (IS), making it suitable for use in hazardous areas where explosive gases or dust may be present. It provides comprehensive monitoring of liquid levels with advanced alarm and output functionalities.

Description

The F073 is a versatile level indicator with continuous level monitoring feature. It has one low level and one high level alarm value. If desired, an ignore (delay) function can be set up to allow for an incorrect level for a certain period of time. The configuration of the Span, off-set and number of decimals is done through software functions, without any sensitive DIP-switches or trimmers.

Advantages
  • Robust aluminum or stainless steel 316L field enclosure (IP65, IP67 / NEMA Type4X) .
    It is so rugged, a truck can even stand on it!
  • Intrinsically Safe available – ATEX, IECEx and CSA approval for gas and dust applications.
  • Familiar easy operation with the Fluidwell “Know one, know them all” configuration structure, saving time, cost and aggravation.
  • Very diverse mounting possibilities: walls, pipes, panels or directly onto outdoor sensors.
