Description

The FloSite Model 2500 Flow Transmitter provides a 4-20 milliamp output signal proportional to measured flow. The flow transmitter is typically used in water treatment applications for flow-pacing control of a chemical dosing pump or to control an actuated valve.

The Model 2500 Transmitter consists of an integral flow sensor and local display of flow rate and accumulated flow. The flow sensor is a Hall-effect type, available in a choice of PVC, polypropylene, or PVDF. The sensor utilizes a unique
5-bladed low-drag rotor which minimizes the chance of fouling.

The digital display of flow or total flow is selectable through a 3-pushbutton keypad. Calibration of the display to the application requirements (as well as the 4-20 mA output signal) is easily done through this front keypad.

Sensor electronics are epoxy-encapsulated and the view-adjustable display is housed in a corrosion resistant NEMA 4X enclosure. Output signal can be transmitted up to 3300 ft. without conditioning.

    Flow-Paced Liquid Chemical Addition in a Cooling Water Recirculation System
    For de-sliming and preventing fouling of cooling water makeup lines, a chemical dosing pump is typically used to dispense a biocide. A FloSite 2500 Flow Transmitter is installed in the makeup waterline and provides a 4-20 mA output to the dosing pump's external stroke frequency control in proportion to flow.
