Principle of Operation
The OMEGA® FTB600B Series Flowmeters feature an infrared, electro-optical transmitter and receiver molded into the flowmeter’s body, along with two miniature circuit boards to provide voltage stabilization and automatic IR output level control. The FTB600B automatically compensates IR light intensity for varying fluid opacity levels to ensure a strong square wave output signal. The flowmeter is suitable for clear, transparent and translucent fluids which must transmit infrared light. (Note: Not suitable for use with red liquids). The design of the FTB600B inherently bleeds off entrained
gas, thereby improving overall accuracy. This flowmeter can be easily mounted into any position for greater system design flexibility, also saving time and installation costs.
A strainer is included in models FTB602B through FTB606B.

Principle of Operation
1 Fluid first passes through helical nozzle
2 This causes the flow to spiral, rotating in a helical pattern
3 The spiraling fluid hits the flat blade rotor, causing it to spin 4 An infrared, electro-optical transmitter and receiver provide
a square wave electronic output signal
