Product descriptionThe F174 is a pump and level controller designed for continuous level monitoring and reliable pump control. It displays level as height or volume on a clear dual-line display with a dedicated bargraph and supports individual set- and resetpoints with hysteresis to manage up to 4 pumps in standalone or grouped configurations. The F174 integrates alarm monitoring, sensor diagnostics and flexible communication for process integration.
Advantages- Versatile pump and level controller with continuous real-time level monitoring.
- Rugged field enclosure in aluminum or stainless steel 316L (IP65 / IP67 / Type4X) for outdoor and harsh environments.
- Intuitive configuration through the Fluidwell structure — reduces commissioning time and training.
- Multiple mounting options: wall, pipe, panel or direct sensor mounting.
- Clear dual-line display plus bargraph for level/height, volume, percentage or alarm values.
Features- Accurate pump control with up to 4 set- and resetpoints and configurable hysteresis.
- Level monitoring with four alarm thresholds: low-low, low, high, high-high; includes ignore function.
- Bargraph presentation based on level/height or calculated volume (strapping table).
- Red flashing LED backlight for alarm conditions.
- Customizable units for level, height and volume.
- One analogue level input: (0)4-20 mA (HART transparent).
- Namur NE43 sensor fault detection with on-screen visualization and configurable retransmission.
- 48-point strapping table for tank shape linearization.
- Three remote control inputs for actions or status definition.
- Active or isolated analogue output for level/volume retransmission.
- Up to four heavy-duty mechanical relays for pump or alarm outputs.
- Full Modbus communication (RS485 / isolated RS485 or RS232).
- USB-C plug-and-play for easy remote configuration.
- PC configuration via free software; auto backup of settings.
- Isolated power supply options: 12–24V AC / 12–30V DC or 115–230V AC.
Applications- Continuous level measurement with strapping table volume calculation and signal retransmission.
- Pump control with fill/drain functions, pump group selection, alternating control by order or running hours; running hours visible on-screen.
- Suitable for wastewater and stormwater pumping stations, process industry systems, irrigation networks, reservoirs, water treatment, HVAC, chemical dosing, drainage and booster pump installations.
- Field-mountable in safe areas and harsh weather conditions; operational from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
