DESCRIPTION

S
ierra Instruments’ FastFlo ™ 620S Immersible
Thermal Mass Flow Meter provides an
economical solution for gas flow measurement
applications. The meter’s sensor offers long-term
reliability and 200 millisecond response to changes
in flow rate.

The versatile microprocessor-based transmitter

integrates the functions of flow-range adjustment,
meter validation and diagnostics in a probe-
mounted NEMA 4X (IP65) housing. Mass flow rate
and totalized flow, as well as other configuration
variables, can be displayed on the meter’s
optional 2 x 12 backlit LCD panel.

The meter also provides an optical/galvanic

isolated 4-20 mA output and two alarm outputs.
The programmable transmitter is easily configured
via RS-232 and Sierra’s Smart Interface™
Windows™ based software or three push buttons
in the device. Modbus RTU is also supported. The
620S is suitable for pipes or ducts from 1-inch to

48-inches (DN25 to DN1200).
