Product description
The F170 is a field-mount level indicator for continuous level monitoring and retransmission. It accepts a single (0)4–20 mA level input (HART-transparent) and displays level/height, content and percentage-filled on a clear dual-line display with a dedicated bargraph. The instrument supports up to four configurable alarm setpoints and up to four outputs for local signalling or control. Robust enclosure options and multiple communication interfaces make the F170 suitable for demanding industrial and outdoor applications.

Advantages

• Continuous, accurate level monitoring with clear dual-line display and bargraph.
• Durable field enclosures in aluminum or 316L stainless steel (IP65/IP67, Type4X).
• Intuitive configuration using the Fluidwell "Know one, know them all" structure.
• Flexible mounting: wall, pipe, panel or directly on sensors.
• Red flashing LED backlight for immediate local alarm indication.

Features

• Four configurable alarm setpoints: low-low, low, high, high-high.
• Bargraph and dual-line display for level, percentage or retransmitted signal.
• Level input: (0)4–20 mA (HART-transparent).
• Analog output options: passive isolated, active or loop-powered 4–20 mA (scalable).
• Up to 4 passive transistor outputs or heavy-duty mechanical relays.
• Communications: Modbus (RS485/RS232), isolated RS485 option.
• USB-C port for plug-and-play remote configuration and PC software programming.
• Power supply options: 10–27 VDC (basic); isolated 12–30 VDC / 12–24 VAC; isolated 115–230 VAC.
• Auto backup of settings and HART-transparent input.

Applications

• Continuous level measurement and retransmission in tanks, vessels and process lines.
• Field-mounted level monitoring for industrial, outdoor and hazardous-area environments.
• Suitable for harsh conditions: rain, snow, sandy or salty atmospheres and temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
