Overview

Vortex flowmeter is based on the principle of the Karman´ Vortex street.
The measuring device in a 2-wire design has a freely configurable LCD display for actual flow rate and totalization. Settings can be changed directly via push buttons or via magnet sensors with closed housing.
Additional to the fieldbus protocol a freely configurable switching output ia always available. This can be used universally as pulse output, high / low alarm or for system supervision.
