FT500 INSTRUCTIONS

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
FT500-Series 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 (battery not included).

Features

Cover Screws

(Can be ordered cross­drilled for seal wire)

Display

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.
