FP7000 - Paddlewheel Flow Sensor System

PADDLEWHEEL FLOW SENSOR SYSTEM

FP7000
	Very Economical
	Wide Chemical Compatibility
	High Level Pulse Output– No Amplifier Needed

The NEWPORT FP7000 paddlewheel flow sensors are ideal for accurate monitoring of typical industrial water flows, hard-to-handle corrosive aqueous solutions, and high purity fluids (see "Wetted Materials" for details). The FP7000 utilizes a paddlewheel-like rotor whose motion is converted into a high-level square wave pulse output by an open collector Hall effect sensor. Pulse amplitudes from 5 to 18 V are possible, depending on input power. The FPW-15 115 Vdc converter plugs directly into a wall socket and outputs 400 mA at Vdc.

The INFCTRA Series panel meter supplies power for the flow sensor and provides rate indication, or totalization, and batch control (when ordered with the dual relay option). When ordered with the analog output option, the INFCTRA can be used to interface the FP7000 flow signal to such items as strip chart recorders, dataloggers, and computer interfaces.
The system consists of the flow sensor, an installing fitting, and electronics. The PVC tee fittings are supplied with a PVC locking nut, and the galvanized iron tee fittings are supplied with a brass locking nut to provide a secure metal-to-metal mounting to the threaded brass insert.

The FP7000 is not compatible with FP-5300 or FMG-5300 Series installation fittings. When powered by the FPW-5 five Vdc wall socket converter, the FP7000 has a TTL level pulse output which can be used with a variety of pulse input flow indicators, signal conditioners and controllers. It is not compatible with the FPM 730/740.

INFCTRA Series compatible indicators, for flowrate, or total or batch control, sold separately.

SPECIFICATIONS
Accuracy: ±2% of full scale
Repeatability: ±1% of full scale
Power: 5 to 18 Vdc @ 10 mA maximum

Wetted Materials
FP7000 Series sensor
polypropylene body (PVDF), PVDF paddle, FKM O-ring, 316SS shaft. Galvanized iron tee includes brass insert and locking nut. PVC tee has PVC insert and locking nut.

Fluid Temperature/Pressure Range
Do not exceed the maximum ratings of your piping. Depending on the material of the fitting, the operating Temperature/ pressure may be limited by your piping, and not by the sensor. For all PVC tee fittings, do not exceed 150 PSIG @ 27ºC (80ºF), 100 PSIG @ 38ºC (100ºF), 60 PSIG @ 49ºC (120ºF), 30 PSIG @ 60ºC (140ºF), due to the insert in the tee.
FP7000 sensor
0-26ºC (32 to 80ºF) up to 150 PSIG; max. pressure decreases 1.1 PSIG per each 0.56ºC ( 1ºF) above 27ºC (80ºF) for a max. temperature of 93ºC ( 200ºF) at 18 PSIG max.

Frequency Output: Nominal 1 Hz/fps. amplitude of open collector pulse = Vdc input power

Cable Length: 2.4 m (8 feet)
