Versions
The SITRANS FC430 flowmeter uses the Coriolis principle to measure flow and is available
in a remote and a compact version.
● Compact version: The SITRANS FC430 is a single mechanical unit where the transmitter
is directly mounted on the sensor.
● Remote version: The SITRANS FCS400 sensor unit is remotely connected to a SITRANS
FCT030 transmitter. Directly mounted on the sensor, its Digital Sensor Link (DSL)
performs the signal processing of all measured signals in the sensor. The 4-wire
connection between the transmitter and the sensor provides power and high-integrity
digital communication between the DSL and the transmitter.
