Fiber Optic Sensor for 7440

7440 with Fiber Optic Sensor

FIBER OPTIC SENSOR

The fiber optic alarm sensor is an available option for all 7440 Series flowmeters and is compatible with all float materials except sapphire.  The sensor is used to detect a predetermined rate of flow. The sensor can interface directly to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or when connected to a separate relay can trigger a local or remote alarm.

The fiber optic sensor is mounted in a junction box attached to the side of the  flowmeter. The sensor uses a pair of fiber optic cables, an emitter and receiver, to transmit the light generated by the sensor. Note: Maximum operating temperature 131° F.
