IPE, IPE-DN - Intrinsically safe flowmeter

Intrinsically Safe Electromagnetic Flowmeter, IPE type, is designed for installation in pipelines to measure electrically conductive liquids flowing through them. It consists of two devices: a converter and a measuring head. The transducer contains an electronics module that powers the measuring head, processes signals from the measuring head and external measuring transducers, displays the parameters  of  the  measured  quantities and generates an output signal in several standards - MODBUS RTU protocol, 4..20 mA, 5..15Hz. The electrical equipment of the flow meter is intrinsically safe, which makes it suitable for use in mining plants in rooms with "a", "b" and "c" levels of methane explosion hazard and "A" and "B" levels of coal dust explosion, in accordance with applicable regulations and standards. The flow meter has four inputs for temperature measurement using external PT-1000 transducers and one analog voltage 0-10V or current 4- 20mA input. They enable the connection of external measuring transducers in order to simultaneously measurepressure , temperature , etc .
