Design

The transmitter is housed in a IP66/67, NEMA 4X/6 enclosure made

of durable polycarbonate and creates together with a flow sensor a
complete measurement system providing the measured flow values
via a local display, multiple signal outputs or a fieldbus interface.
The modular design concept of the FMT020 makes it flexible to be
remote connected or integral mounted with magnetic flow sensors
of type SITRANS FMS500.
Integral-mount design
For devices with an integral-mount design, the transmitter and the
sensor form a single mechanical unit.
Remote mount design
For devices with a remote mount design, the transmitter and sensor
are mounted in separate locations. The electrical connection
between the transmitter and the sensor is provided by sensor cables.
