The Flo-tech quad series turbine flow sensors are derived from the FSC series, utilizing two flow transducers which are 90° electrically out of phase from each other. With the addition of a second flow transducer, it is possible to monitor flow in both directions. The F2000 quad is suitable for up-down counters that can discern the leading and trailing edges of the quadrature signals.
The F2000 can be used as a speed-sensing device on mobile equipment in current applications. This bi-directional flow sensor can be used as a governor, sending frequency signals back to a PLC, which enables it to make the necessary adjustments. Other functions of the flow sensor are in linear applications where accurate positioning is required.
