Description
The 2537 Paddlewheel Flowmeter Series offer low
fl
ow, low power and high resolution with various output options such as a
fl
ow
switch, pulse divider, Digital (S
3
L), or 4-20 mA. This unit can be con
fi
gured on-site directly through the built-in user interface.
•
The Digital model provides a digital (S
3
L) output for use with the Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter Controller.
•
The 4-20 mA model provides a blind current loop output.
•
The Flow Switch Model uses a single relay (mechanical or solid state) for Hi or Lo alarm operation.
•
The Pulse model uses a single relay (mechanical or solid state) and has two selectable operating modes:
• The Divider mode scales the paddlewheel frequency down to accommodate low frequency input devices.
• In Total mode, the Pulse Model becomes a traditional pump pulser, able to output one pulse per a set volume of
fl
uid.
A small LCD enables the 2537 to be programmed without any external equipment. During normal operation the display is not visible.
