F3CL/F3RO Clip- On Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Product catalog summary

Product Overview
The F3CL and F3RO are clip-on ultrasonic flowmeters designed for easy installation without damaging pipes or interrupting flow. They utilize the ultrasonic transit time measurement principle combined with Gentos' patented flow algorithm for accurate fluid flow measurement.

Product Features and Functions

All-in-one design with simple installation requiring no contact with fluid media.
LCD color display with four-direction rotation.
Flow controlling and monitoring totalizer.
Standard RS485 communication interface with Modbus protocol for remote monitoring and data transmission.

Applications
These flowmeters are suitable for various applications including water distribution, leak monitoring, HVAC, washing industries, residential water, agricultural irrigation, industrial circulating water, and more.

Installation Method

Take out the brackets.
Clip on the pipe.
Install the main device.
Connect to power.

Technical Specifications

Pipe Size Range: DN20 to DN80 (21mm-91mm).
Power Supply: 10-36VDC, max 500mA.
Accuracy: ±2.0%, Repeatability: 0.2%.
Display: 1.44” LCD.
Protection Rate: IP54.
Ambient Temperature: 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°C).
Fluid Temperature: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C).
Flow Range: 0.1 ft/s to ±16 ft/s (0.03 m/s to ±5 m/s).
Communication Interface: RS485 and 4-20mA for F3CL; RS485 and OCT pulse or Relay for F3RO.

Principle of Operation
The ultrasonic flowmeter measures fluid flow by sending an ultrasonic signal through the fluid. The velocity of the sound wave changes depending on the flow direction, allowing the flow rate to be calculated based on the difference in transit times.

Model Selection
Models are selected based on output configurations and pipe size/material. Options include RS485 with 4-20mA, OCT pulse, or Relay outputs.

F3CL/F3RO Clip- On Ultrasonic Flowmeter-3

The ultrasonic flowmeter adopts the Transit Time measurement principle. It uses an ultrasonic signal from the transducer to travel in a flowing fluid, the velocity of sound wave increases parallel to the flow direction and decreases opposite to the flow direction.The transmission times are different at the same propagation distance, the flow rate of the fluid is measured according to the relationship between the difference of the transit time and the flow rate of the measured fluid. The flow velocity of the fluid is different at different locations within the pipe, the flow rate in the center...
