Signet 8550  / Field or Panel Mount Transmitters

The SIGNET 8550 Flow Transmitter is an advanced solution that converts the signal from all  SIGNET flow sensors into a 4 to 20 mA signal for long distance transmission.  Configuration flexibility is maximized with two optional relays for process control, two packaging options for integral/pipe mount or panel installation, and scalability for virtually any flow range or engineering unit.   State-of-the-art electronic design ensures long-term reliability, signal stability, and simple user setup and operation.

These user friendly flowmeters provide a convenient way to display flow rate and totalization.  The LCD display has five different adjustment for easy viewing.  Flow displayed in gallon or most other engineering units - l/min, #/min, as example.  Optional relays can proved indication of low or high flow or pulse a metering pump for chemical injecting treatment. Optional dual input device is also available.

Mount the display in a local enclosure - 1/4 DIN

Power is supplied directly to the instrument or may be provided by the output loop power
8550install3.jpg (4309 bytes) Field mounted display with flow sensor - 8550

Mount the display directly on the sensor or on the pipe.   No enclosure is required.

Power is supplied directly to the instrument or may be provided by the output loop power

Installation

The transmitter is available in a panel mount or a field version. The field version is mounted to the sensor using the integral mount kit (3-8051) or you may select the universal mount kit (3-8050) to mount the transmitter on a surface near the sensor.

All panel mount transmitters (3-8550-XP) include a mounting bracket and gasket for a NEMA 4X watertight panel installation. Panel mount transmitters fit into a standard 1/4 DIN panel cutout.

The Integral Mount Kit (3-8051) can be ordered separately and includes a conduit base, locking ring, and integral adapter for mounting the transmitter and sensor directly in a pipe.

The Universal Mount Kit (3-8050) can be ordered separately and includes a conduit base, locking ring, and universal adapter for mounting the transmitter on a pipe, wall, or other stationary surface.
