Internal Battery
functions either as a primary power source or as a backup to either of the
external power sources. Battery life estimates are in the Power Mode chart below and are
affected by the options enabled. The battery may be replaced at any time with the only side
effect being a loss of normal operation (all calibration and configuration information is
maintained). Total, Grand Total, and service hours may be saved at any time by activating the
Grand Total
display or by entering the menu system. Upon system startup, the saved values
will be retrieved.

Power Mode:
controls the refresh rate of both the display and outputs of the
IT400
and is a
user selectable menu item. Refresh times and approximate battery life are in the following

*Battery life calculations are worst case based on continuous flow, enabled linearizer,
temperature compensator, 4-20mA output, and pulse output.
Enclosure
The
IT400
is contained in an explosion proof enclosure. This enclosure is typically meter mounted
via a union or a temperature extension (consult factory for lengths and applications). There is
typically a short cable (4 feet) that connects the
IT400
to an external temperature probe (a few inches
downstream). Rigid conduit is recommended for this connection to maintain the explosion proof
rating of the enclosure and to maintain CE marking.
