The FT500-Series is a batching ow processor with additional output
controls. It is designed for use with Seametrics ow meters and ow
sensors, as well as other manufacturer’s products which have frequency
output proportional to ow. In addition to batch functions, the FT500­Series indicates ow 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

.

An analog output of 4-20 mA is available both in active and passive loop
conguration, and in 0-5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc outputs, and can be used in
applications such as ow 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.

BATCH FLOW PROCESSOR

> FT520 Batch Controller

In Batch Processing Mode, the display indicates a ow rate on
the top line, and one of three congurations on the bottom
line: an accumulated total ow (resettable), accumulated
batch ow, or batch process bar graph. The batch output is
controlled via two relays. The main relay starts and stops the
batch as a set, or the auxiliary “prewarn” relay can be used
to operate a second valve. This allows increased accuracy by

engaging a staged shut off at the end of the batch.

Settings are:

- SET Batch Size

- SET Prewarn Size

- SET Flow volume units

- SET Rate of ow in time base

- SET Decimal from whole numbers, to tenths,

to hundredths

- SET K-factor

- SET Pulse (scaled) Output 1

- SET Pulse (scaled) Output 2

- SET 20 mA Rate for maximum estimated ow

- Clear Total

> FT520-84 Filter Regeneration

In Filter Regeneration Mode, the display indicates a ow rate
on the top line, and one of two congurations on the bottom
line: an accumulated total ow (resettable), or batch process
remainder. The regeneration process is initiated by setting
a target volume, a set value for regeneration time as well. A

single relay or alternate relay setting allows control of either
single tank or alternating dual tank systems.

> FT520-86 Flow Rate Alarm

In Flow Rate Alarm Mode, the display indicates a ow rate on
the top line, and on the bottom line, an accumulated total
ow (resettable). The user sets a minimum and maximum ow
rate, and if the ow exceeds the min/max parameter, relay 1
or relay 2 will close. The output relay will stay latched until
the ow rate increases/decreases back between the min/max

settings.

Settings are:

- SET Flow volume units

- SET Rate of ow in time base

- SET Decimal for rate and total to two decimals

- SET K-factor

- SET Pulse (scaled) Output 1

- SET Pulse (scaled) Output 2

- SET 20 mA Rate for maximum estimated ow

- SET Low Flow Alarm

- SET Hi Flow Alarm

- Clear Total

> FT522 Usage Monitor

In Usage Monitor Mode, the display indicates one of two
congurations: an elapsed time and elapsed ow, and a ow
rate and accumulated total ow (resettable). A time period
is set to monitor for a set maximum total ow. If the total
ow is reached within the set time, an output relay is closed.
The output relay stays latched until the system either resets
automatically after the set time, or is reset manually via Stop/
Start. A reset condition clears the elapsed time and ow, but
not the accumulated total ow.

Settings are:

- SET Flow volume units

- SET Rate of ow in time base

- SET Decimal for rate and total to two decimals

- SET K-factor

- SET Pulse (scaled) Output 1

- SET Pulse (scaled) Output 2

- SET 20 mA Rate for maximum estimated ow

- SET Regeneration Volume

- SET Regeneration Time in seconds (3 digits)

- SET Relay Mode to one or alternate relays

- Clear Total
