INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The flowrate indicator / totalizer model E115-P (also referred to as a unit) is an advanced explosion proof microprocessor-driven instrument designed to show the current flowrate, the totalized flow and the accumulated totalized flow, current and previous day total, and several historical day totals. The E115-P is designed to detect flow direction and to show a positive or negative flowrate, totals for both directions and cumulative totals.
● One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse, NAMUR or coil signal output can be connected to the E115-P. Several options are available for powering the sensor. ● Status input to reset total remotely or to lock the ‘clear total’ key.
