The IP100/200-Series are adjustable depth insertion paddlewheels that
come in brass, PVC, or 316 stainless models to t 3” to 40” pipe. Adapters
mate with standard 1-1/2” (11x/21x) or 2” (15x/25x), or PVC (11x/21x) NPT
threaded ttings such as saddles and weldolets which may be purchased
either locally or from Seametrics.
Ruby bearings and a non-drag Hall-effect sensor give these meters the
widest ow range of any of the paddlewheel types. A sensor detects
the passage of miniature magnets in the six rotor blades. The resulting
square-wave signal can be sent for hundreds of feet over unshielded
cable without a transmitter and connected directly to many PLC’s and
other controls without any additional electronics.
A modular system of electronics can be installed directly on the ow
sensor or mounted remotely. The FT430 (externally powered with pulse),
FT440 (loop powered), and FT450 (battery powered) all provide digital
rate and total displays, as well as a programmable pulse; the FT440 also
provides a 4-20 mA analog output. The AO55 is a blind analog (4-20 mA)
transmitter. Programmable pulse for pump pacing is available with the
PD10 (available as wall-mounted unit only).
The “hot-tap” models (IP15x/25x) can be installed or serviced without
shutting down the line by means of a 2” full-port isolation valve that comes
with a nipple for installation on the pipe tting. In most circumstances, no
