The FP9000 Series LIGHTSPEED paddlewheel flow sensors are ideal for applications in which the solutions have low viscosity (are water-like) and are low in suspended solids. A patented fiber-optic sensing technique makes these sensors especially well-suited for applications in hazardous environments, where the paddlewheel electronics can be mounted in a non-hazardous location and the near-infrared light signal can be sent down the optic cable to the paddlewheel within the hazardous location. This non-magnetic design tolerates some rust, found in iron pipes. The FP9000 Series flow sensors must be used with the companion FP9000 Series pipe installation fittings.

The high amplitude pulse output from the FP9P opto-electronic interface is ideally suited for hook up to the model INF7 ratemeter/totalizer. For 4-20 mA output, purchase the FLSC90 Series signal conditioner. Please specify fitting and calibration range for the 4-20 mA output. The FLSC90 includes the optical interface for the FP9000 sensor.
