Flow meter pump controller F175

level and flow measurementwith alarm functionfor pump management

Product description
The F175 is a pump/level controller offering continuous level monitoring and dual open-channel flow measurement. It displays level/height or volume with a dedicated bargraph and supports accurate pump control with individual set- and resetpoints and configurable hysteresis.

Advantages

• Combined pump controller and level monitor with optional open-channel flow functionality.
• Rugged field enclosure in aluminium or stainless steel 316L (IP65/IP67 / Type4X) for outdoor and industrial use.
• Intuitive configuration with Fluidwell "Know one, know them all" structure for fast commissioning.
• Multiple mounting options: wall, pipe, panel or direct sensor mounting.
• Clear dual-line display with bargraph for level/height, volume, flow, total, percentage or alarm values.

Features

• Accurate pump/level control with up to 4 set- and 4 resetpoints and configurable hysteresis.
• Four alarm levels: low-low, low, high, high-high with visual alarm and configurable outputs.
• Two independent open-channel flow computations (linear, table or weir/flume formulas) with totalizing.
• Bargraph scalable to level/height or volume; red flashing LED backlight for alarm conditions.
• Custom units for level, height and volume; 48-point strapping table for tank/weir/flume linearization.
• 1 level input (0)4–20 mA (HART transparent) with Namur NE43 sensor-fault detection and optional analog retransmission of sensor status.
• 3 configurable remote control inputs and up to 4 heavy-duty mechanical relay outputs for pumps/alarms.
• Active or passive isolated analog output (0)4–20 mA scalable to any range.
• Communication: Modbus RTU via RS232/RS485 (isolated RS485 option). USB-C for remote configuration.
• Plug-and-play USB-C, PC configuration with free software and auto backup of settings.
• Isolated power supply options: 12–24 V AC / 12–30 V DC or 115–230 V AC; sensor supply 24 V DC.

Applications

• Continuous level measurement with volume calculation using strapping tables for non-linear tanks.
• Pump control with fill/drain modes, pump grouping, alternating control by order or runtime and runtime indication on screen.
• Open-channel flow monitoring: combine level input with channel characteristics to calculate and totalize flow with alarms.
• Designed for wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, irrigation channels, industrial discharge and flood prevention—enabling automatic control of pumps, valves and alarms.

Technical specifications

• Level input: (0)4–20 mA (HART transparent).
• Status inputs: 3 configurable remote control inputs (15 functions).
• Pulse output: scaled pulse from totalizer A/B and/or sampling; type: one selectable heavy-duty mechanical relay.
• Alarm outputs: up to four heavy-duty mechanical relays; configurable for low-low/low/high/high-high; optional clear alarm output.
• Analog output: one isolated passive 4–20 mA or one active (0)4–20 mA, scalable to any range.
• Control outputs: up to four heavy-duty mechanical relays for pump control (fill/drain, grouping, selection by order/runtime).
• Power: Isolated 12–30 V DC / 12–24 V AC or isolated 115–230 V AC. Sensor supply: 24 V DC.
• Hazardous area: not intrinsically safe / not available.
