GENERAL INFORMATION

Features

The 

FT500-Series

  is  a  batching  flow  processor  with 

additional output controls. It is designed for use with 

Seametrics flow meters and flow sensors, as well as other 

manufacturer’s products which have frequency output 

proportional  to  flow.  In  addition  to  batch  functions,  the 

FT500-Series indicates flow rate, and other data in large 

3/8”  (9.66  mm)  digits  on  an  easily-read,  backlit  display. 

Units  of  measure  are  user  selectable,  and  range  from 

milliliters per second to millions of gallons per day. The 

unit can be 110 Vac powered with a standard 3-wire cord 

(included),  220  Vac  powered  (optional),  or  DC  powered 

through an internal terminal strip (battery not included).

Totalizer = 8 digit, Rate = 5 digit, backlit

Units

Volume = Gallons, cubic feet, cubic meters, millions of gallons, milliliters, fluid ounces, pounds, liters

Time = Seconds, minutes, hours, days

Analog Output

4-20 mA passive opto-isolated; 4-20 mA active; 0–5 Vdc, or 0–10 Vdc

Sensor Input

1–1000 Hz, ESD protected, interfaces to current sinking sensor output

*Specifications subject to change. Please consult our web site for current data (

seametrics.com

)

An analog output of 4-20 mA is available both in active 

and  passive  loop  configuration,  and  in  0-5  Vdc  or  0-10 

Vdc outputs, and can be used in applications such as flow 

rate logging. Two programmable pulse scaled outputs are 

also  standard,  and  can  be  used,  for  example,  to  provide 

proportional chemical feed with a pulse-responsive 

metering pump.

The housing is supplied with two brackets for wall-mount 

applications,  or  the  top/bottom  housings  can  be  easily 

separated and reassembled for panel-mount.
