FCO418 pressure transmitter
This panel mount Differential Pressure Transmitter is designed to replace inaccurate water column gauges, VA flow meters, analog meters and pressure switches. It is suitable for industrial and scientific control, measurement and monitoring applications.
The FCO418 is the panel mount version of our popular FCO432 low pressure differential pressure transmitter. Models available include a range of low pressure instruments starting from just ±50 Pa with an uncertainty of 0.25% of reading, high pressure instruments measuring up to 10 bar, as well as a 1500 mbar absolute pressure device. The pressure measuring cell is based on Furness Controls’ unique capacitive sensor with proven reliability.
Features include temperature correction, display damping, and configurable units. Outputs can be matched to velocity readings, allowing flow and velocity measurement using pitot tubes or laminar flow elements (LFEs). Relays allow the transmitter to directly drive external alarms or other circuits at configurable measurement thresholds.
Electrical output options
The transmitter is available as standard with 2-wire 4-20 mA current output and optionally with 4-wire isolated 4-20 mA as well as a wide choice of voltage outputs, allowing it to adapt to a range of industrial and scientific configurations. USB, RS232, RS485 and Modbus connections allow interfacing with PCs or other control equipment.
Configuration
There are two ways to configure the pressure transmitter. The front panel membrane keypad allows for easy configuration on the device in the field. Alternatively, configuration can be performed using the supplied FCS541 utility software and the internal micro-USB connection.
The FCO418 can be reset to zero using an external button or a suitable electronic circuit. It is also possible to use the automatic zeroing function with an adjustable delay between 0.0 and 24.0 hours, with a resolution of 0.1 hour.
Typical use cases
The differential pressure transmitter is designed to replace inaccurate water column gauges, VA flow meters, analog meters and pressure switches. It is suitable for industrial and scientific control, measurement and monitoring applications, including:
Combustion pressure measurement and control of dryers, ovens, etc.
Flow measurement or blockage detection on filters and membranes
Gas/air flow measurement in conjunction with laminar flow elements or pitot tubes
Glove boxes, clean rooms, wind tunnels and many more….
