2 FCI ST50 Series Flowmeters Easy to Install, Easy to Use The ST50 Flowmeter is an accurate, easy to install, no moving parts solution for measuring and controlling air, compressed air or nitrogen flow. ST50 utilizes FCI proven thermal dispersion technology to provide direct mass flow measurement resulting in higher performance at a lower cost than orifice plates, DP, Vortex shedding and other thermal devices. The meter installs in line sizes ranging from 2 to 24 inches [5 to 60 mm] with /2 or 3/4 NPT. ST50 uses precision, lithography structured platinum RTD sensors embedded in FCI s equal mass small diameter, all metal thermowells. Combined with microprocessor electronics and precision calibration, the ST50 achieves excellent accuracy, fast response and virtually maintenance free operation. To serve a variety of application and installation requirements the ST50 is available in three standard configurations as shown below. (Other display options are described in ccessory Remote Digital Display section) The ST50 is available with four calibration and final set-up selections. Two are standard calibrations suitable for final ranging and set-up in the field and two are for factory custom calibration with factory performed final ranging and set-up. ll final set-up and flow ranges are subject to 00: maximum and 0: minimum turndowns. Two standard calibrations include one for air or nitrogen flow rates between.25 to 25 SFPS [0.4 to 38 NMPS] in service pressures between 0 to 50 psia [0.7 to 3.5 ara] and one for compressed air, air or nitrogen flows between 4 to 400 SFPS [.2 to 22 NMPS] in service pressures between 50 to 65 psia [3.5 to.4 ara]. ll final user configurations for flow range, specific line size, standard volumetric or mass flow and engineering units are easily set-up in the field with a PC, PD or FC88 programmer. lternatively, custom factory calibration and set-up is available for air or nitrogen with flow between 0.8 to 50 SFPS [0.2 to 46 NMPS] at service pressure between 0 to 50 psia [0.7 to 3.5 ara] or compressed air, air or nitrogen flow between Features Direct mass, volumetric or velocity flow measurement Dual analog outputs Line/pipe sizes from 2 to 24 inches [5 to 60 mm] Non-clogging, no moving parts sensor Wireless IR communications option 4-digit digital display option Small, compact design Easy installation 2.5 to 400 SFPS [0.8 to 22 NMPS] with service pressure between 50 to 65 psia [3.5 to.4 ara]. Custom calibration applications are subject to validation by FCI s VL flowmeter optimizer program and a submittal of a completed FCI pplication Data Sheet. Extensive Outputs Ensure pplication Compatibility The ST50 includes dual analog outputs, 4-20 m and 0-0 Vdc, which are field assignable as flow rate or temperature. Flow rate is selectable for reading in standard volumetric or mass flow engineering units. Optionally available as a third output, is a 0-000Hz pulse output of total flow. In all models a standard RS232C serial I/O link is provided for instrument configuration, service/troubleshooting data, and measured readings. lso included in all models with the digital display is a wireless IR sensor to enable wireless connectivity to PD devices.

3 Exclusive Wireless Communications Option With FCI s unique new IR link option, any Palm-OS based PD can be used to communicate with the ST50 without contact. This wireless IR link features a password protected, easyto-follow menu driven program to access all its features. Parameters include measured readings and totalizer values, configuration settings, calibration downloads, diagnostic service codes, and more. This wireless interface is ideal to save cost and time when the ST50 will be mounted in a hard to reach location. To order, specify an ST50 with a digital display (ST50-3, ST50-4, ST50-5, or ST50-6) and order software accessory kit p/n Designed and uilt to Last The all stainless steel element with Hast-C tips, provides protection from invasive conditions within the pipe and ensures long service life. The electronics are housed in an all metal NEM 4X (IP66) rated enclosure for ruggedness and dust/weather proof service in industrial plant installations. Whether adding flow measurement to improve the process or replacing high-maintenance flowmeters, the ST50 provides the accurate, fast response and no-maintenance solution for air, compressed air and nitrogen flow measurement. Precision Calibration in FCI Flow Laboratory To ensure optimum accuracy, performance and quality, FCI owns and operates a best-in-class test and NIST traceable calibration laboratory. FCI product developments are subject to rigorous testing and calibration integrity validation using high-speed data acquisition systems and precision flow calibration equipment. Every FCI Flowmeter is also extensively tested and then calibrated using actual gases under customer conditions to assure their quality and performance. NIST traceability utomated data acquisition ISO 900 certified Flow, pressure and temperature calibrations ccessory Remote Digital Displays For remote mounted digital readouts of flow, temperature and /or total flow, three types of accessory displays are available. Model DM0 is a LCD readout meter which can be inserted and located anywhere in the 4-20 m output loop from the ST50. It requires no separate power as it derives its power directly from the 4-20 m loop. The DM0 is user scalable to ±999 digits and features oversized, inch H [25 mm] characters for an easy-to-read display. NEM 4X rated.
