Fluidwell F132 Intrinsically safe Batch Controller – ATEX

The Fluidwell F132 Intrinsically safe Batch Controller is a high-precision dispensing indicator designed for hazardous areas. Optimized for use with analog (0)4 – 20mA flowmeter signals, it provides a reliable two-stage control system to ensure accurate liquid batching and delivery in volatile environments.

Description

The Fluidwell F132 Intrinsically safe Batch Controller is engineered to deliver unmatched precision in dispensing applications where safety is a top priority. Unlike standard pulse-based controllers, the F132 is specifically tailored for flowmeters that provide analog signals. The controller features a two-stage control output: a “pre-stop” signal to slow down the flow and a final “end-of-batch” signal to shut off the valve precisely, effectively eliminating hydraulic shock and over-filling.

Safety and durability are central to the F132’s design philosophy. It carries comprehensive ATEX, IECEx, and CSA C-US certifications for gas and dust applications, making it safe for use in the most dangerous industrial zones. The unit is housed in a ruggedized field enclosure—available in GRP, Aluminum, or 316L Stainless Steel—capable of withstanding extreme impacts and corrosive atmospheres. Furthermore, the Fluidwell F132 Intrinsically safe Batch Controller features a “know one, know them all” configuration menu, ensuring that technical personnel can set up and troubleshoot the device quickly without needing specialized training for every model.
