F490 Fluidwell Loop Powered Multi Purpose Indicator

The F490 is a versatile, loop-powered Multi Purpose Indicator to display the actual process value, range and loop current. Besides the focus on level, temperature, and pressure applications, the F490 can also work with other measuring units, like %, mA, RPM, and more. The measuring unit to be displayed is simply selected through an alfa-numerical configuration menu.

The configuration of Span, offset, and number of decimals is done through software functions, without any sensitive dip-switches or trimmers. Therefore, the F490 is a versatile indicator that suits many applications. Various options are available, including Intrinsic Safety for hazardous area applications.

The input circuit is separated from the backlight circuit. The F490 accepts 4 - 20mA input signals from a wide range of process instruments, including flow (linear or square root), level, pressure and temperature transmitters. All these process parameters can be displayed in their own engineering units.

• Ambient temperature: -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).
• Various accessories are available for this product.

Applications

• Applications where a local, loop-powered, general/multi-purpose display is required without monitoring function, linearization, or signal re-transmitting.
• The F490 takes operating energy from an input current (2-wire 4 - 20mA) and has a separated backlight circuit.
• The F-Series is your first and best choice for field mount indicators in safe and hazardous area applications. Especially in harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, sandy deserts, salty atmospheres, and temperatures between -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F).
