Battery-powered signal converter
Description
The model FLC-406 is a battery-powered signal converter which is perfectly suited for applications without access to mains supply. A battery life of up to 10 years enables maintenance-free and economical operation.
The model FLC-406 can be combined with all electromagnetic flow meters from WIKA. With the model FLC-2300 flow meters, even low flow
velocities from 0.015 m/s can be measured without problems.
The integrated EEPROM memory ('electrically erasable programmable read-only memory') ensures high data security. Up to 100,000 data sets can be saved.
Signal converter, model FLC-406
With the supplied software, the model FLC-406 can communicate via IrCOM or Modbus RS-485 interface with a PC, laptop or mobile device to program the signal converter and to manage and download measured values. A multi-level password system guarantees data access for
authorised users only.
