Flowmetering

Turbine flowmeters

See the 'RIM10 rotor selection guide' (page 6) for available linear and measurable ranges.

Measurable velocity limits

Continuous operation above the maximum velocity will shorten the life of the RIM10 and is not

recommended.

Process viscosity

Maximum 5 centipoise

Ambient temperature limit

Electronics -20 to 60°C (-5 to 140°F)

Ambient humidity limit

5 to 95% relative humidity non-condensing

Power requirements

12 to 32 Vdc, 24 Vdc nominal, 2 amps

Analog

Standard input 2 x 4-20 mA active or passive.

Standard output 1 x 4-20 mA (Optional output of 3 x 4-20 mA)

Scaled pulse output

Output can be scaled so that 1 pulse indicates a specific quantity of fluid passing through the pipe,

up to 10 pulses / sec.

Relay output

2 x SPDT, 24 V / 50 mA. Output can be scaled so that 1 pulse indicates a specific quantity of fluid

passing through the pipe, up to 10 pulses/sec.

Modbus RTU - Half duplex RS 485 and BACnet MS / TP compatible

Communications

Modbus TCP / IP - Full duplex, 10 / 100 Base T Ethernet

Remote mount electronics

Up to 30 m (100 ft) with shielded twisted pairs
