Weight
With display: 8 lb (3, 6 kg)
Without display: 7 lb (3.2 kg)
Mounting and cabling
Transmitters include a mounting bracket and 6.5 ft (2 m) of 4-wire twisted-pair
shielded signal cable. Additional lengths up to 1000 ft (300 m) can be purchased.
Hardware for installing the transmitter on the mounting bracket is included.
The transmitter can be rotated on the mounting bracket, 360° in 90° increments.
Interface/Display (optional)
Segmented 2-line display with LCD screen with optical controls and flowmeter-
status LED is standard.
• LCD line 1 lists the process variable.
• LCD line 2 lists engineering unit of measure.
Non-glare tempered glass lens.
Available in both backlit and non-backlit versions.
Display is suitable for hazardous area installation. To facilitate various mounting
orientations, the display can be rotated on the transmitter, 360° in 90° increments.
Display controls feature optical switches that are operated through the glass with a
red LED for visual feedback to confirm when a “button” is pressed.
Display functions:
• View process variables
• Start, stop and reset totalizers
• View and acknowledge alarms
• Off-line (where applicable):
• Zero flowmeter
• Simulate outputs
• Change measurement units
• Configure ouputs
• Set RS-485 communications options
Status light
Three-color LED status light on display panel indicates flowmeter condition at a
glance.
