Inputs
The device has ten measurement inputs

Measurement and additional calculations

• Additional quantities are omitted when performing calculations related to the flow measurement system
• Calculated quantities may serve as auxiliary values or be used directly in measurement systems
Recording measurement results
• Recording to internal 2GB memory
• Checksum secured files – protection against result errors
• Recording frequency for main archive between 3 s and 24 h; define two recording frequencies, toggled upon exceeding the set alarm thresholds.

• Algorithm of overshooting of the ordered power and of the excess energy meter with the possibility of registration saturation of superheated steam
• Advanced user and password system

• Available also in wall-mounted case – FP-3031N
Application
The FP-30×1(N) series flow computers are used in many industries: power plants, CHPs, metallurgical, food, chemical, wood and paper industries, etc. Example of application: calculating the amount of energy produced at the power plant; measurement of the flow and energy of steam used in the food industry for production purposes (pasteurization of processed products).
