FT420
GENERAL INFORMATION
The FT400-Series flow computers are microcontroller-based
indicator/transmitters that display flow rate and total and
provide output signals. The FT415 is battery-powered and
provides a scalable pulse output. The FT420 is powered by
external DC voltage and has both pulse and 4-20 mA analog
outputs. When the FT420 is being used in the 4-20 mA mode,
it is a “two-wire” or “loop-powered” device, meaning that the
4-20 mA output signal doubles as its power supply.
The addition of a dual-relay output board (FT420 only) allows
for certain applications requiring contact output isolation
(e.g., certain metering pumps and water treatment controls).
Dual solid state relays provide exactly the same pulse output as the standard unit, and each can signal one external
device. A non-resettable total is also available. The FT420
can be ordered in a plastic enclosure with a 115 Vac power
supply for use with mechanical meters, or with a built-in 115
Vac/12-24 Vdc dual power supply for magmeters.
FT415
Both the FT415 and the FT420 can be factory-mounted on
the meter (-M) or remotely wall mounted with the brackets
provided (-W). The FT420 is also available as a panel mount
(-P) with an open back for easy installation in the user’s own
electrical enclosure. Most FT400’s can be converted from
wall-to-meter or meter-to-wall mount configurations after
installation if needed.
Housings for the -W and -M models are rugged cast aluminum, potted and gasketed for maximum environmental
protection. A membrane keypad allows settings to be
changed without removing the cover. (Password protection,
a standard feature, can be used to prevent settings from
being changed.)
