GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Instrument Capability

1.2 Product Identification

The Model 677F remote-mount analog flowmeter/transmitter
can be used with any GLI impeller flow sensor. With stan­dard brackets, the Model 677F can be panel, surface, or
horizontal pipe mounted. When ordered with special, op­tional mounting brackets, the Model 677F can be vertical
pipe mounted.

The Model 677F provides flow rate measurements, and may
be equipped with a 6-digit resetting totalizer or a 7-digit
non-resetting totalizer. In this case, the Model 677F also
provides a reading of total volumetric flow.

The Model 677F transmits a 4-20 mA signal, corresponding
to the measured flow rate, on a simple two-wire hookup.
Any of the following (or similar type) devices can be con­nected to the Model 677F:

• Data logger

• Recorder

• Remote readout

The instrument serial number is located on the backside of

the display board. Refer to this serial number for convenient
identification should technical assistance be required.
