General Information
The FT420 is a loop-powered microcontroller-based
transmitter/indicator. It displays rate and total, and pro-
vides a 4-20 mA analog signal proportional to flow. A
programmable pulse output, high flow or low flow alarm
are also standard for metering pump control or data
logging.
The rugged cast-aluminum housing is gasketed for maxi-
mum environmental protection, and the electronics are
potted into a solid block of urethane. A membrane key-
pad allows settings to be changed without removing the
cover. The wall mount version comes with brackets for
mounting. An adapter kit (part No. MK20) allows field
mounting on 80-series flow sensors. The FT420 can
also be factory installed on a TX100/200 series sensor
or WT meter.
