Flow-X/C
This is a Compact panel mounted flow computer with one
integrated Flow-X/M module with a 7" multi-lingual color touch
screen and one additional serial port and Ethernet interfaces
(2x). This flow computer can be used in both horizontal and
vertical position. Field connections are available in standard 37-
pin and one 9-pin D-Sub type connector at the rear.

Flow-X/R
The Flow-X/R is a Rack model with up to 8 streams for dense
flow metering systems in 19" cabinets. Stream modules can be
used as 8-stream application, as separate streams, or
combinations. Field connections are available in standard 37-
pole D-Sub type connectors; Ethernet connections are either
individually used per stream module via dual RJ45 connectors, or
to only one module when the modules operate in Multi-Module
Mode (See paragraph on Multi-module mode on page 8).

Flow-X/S
This is a Single stream, DIN rail enclosure with direct screw
terminals for field connections. Interfaces include dual Ethernet
with built-in web-server via RJ45 connectors. Graphical LCD
display with 4 lines for local display of measured & calculated
data. The Flow-X/S may be mounted in 3 ways: Horizontally on
Din-rail, vertically on Din-rail, and Wall mounted.

Flow-X/K
This is a single stream, DIN rail enclosure with standard 37-pole
D-Sub type connectors for field connection. Interfaces include
dual Ethernet with built-in web-server via RJ45 connectors. It has
graphical LCD display with 4 lines for local display of measured &
calculated data. The Flow-X/K may be mounted in 2 ways:
mounted on a DIN-rail and Wall mounted. In combination with a
DIN-adapter it is possible to mount 7 Flow-X/K enclosures next
to each other in a 19" cabinet.

Multi-module mode

The Flow-X/P and Flow-X/R enclosures usually accommodate
more than one module. These modules may be used in
standalone mode, where each module is acting as an
independent flow computer. The other option is to use modules
in Multi-Module mode, where they exchange data over the
Ethernet. In this setup, the modules act together as one flow
computer.

Security

Metrological seal
All enclosures have the option of locking the flow computer with
a lead seal by an authorized body, to prevent access to the
tamper switch of the individual modules (see below). In a Flow-
X/P (Panel) and a Flow-X/R, one bar is used to seal all installed
modules with one lead seal.
