FCX – AX SERIES SMALL FLANGE LEVEL TRANSMITTER
DATA SHEET
FHY, FKY...3
The FCX –AX Series small flange level transmitter accu-
rately measures liquid level and transmits a proportional 4
to 20mA signal. The transmitter utilizes a unique
micromachined capacitance silicon sensor with state-of-the-
art microprocessor technology to provide exceptional per-
formance and functionality.
FEATURES
1. Directly connectable to 1-1/2 in. and 2 in. flanges
The transmitter is connectable to 1-1/2 in. and 2 in. pipes
without a reducer.
2. Minimum environmental influence
The "Advanced Floating Cell" design which protects the
pressure sensor against changes in temperature, static
pressure, and overpressure substantially reduces total
measurement error in actual field applications.
3. Replaceable Communication Module
Fuji micro-electronics manufacturing technology offers
replaceable communication module that makes FCX–AX
transmitter very unique in design. In case of change in
communication protocl, all that needs to be done is just
to replace the module and the transmitter gets upgraded
to the new version
4. Fuji/HART bilingual communication module
The communication module is "bilingual" to speak both
Fuji proprietary protocol and HART. Any HART compat-
ible devices can communicate with FCX–AX series trans-
mitters.
5. Application flexibility
Various options that render the FCX–AX suitable for
almost any process applications include:
— Analog indicator at either the electronics side or ter-
minal side
— Full range of hazardous area approvals
— Built-in RFI filter and lightning arrester
— 4^1/2 digits LCD meter
— Stainless steel electronics housing
— Wide selection of materials
— High temperature, vacuum service.
6. Programmable output Linearization Function
In addition to Linear and Square Root, output signal can
be freely programmable.
(Up to 14 compensated points at approximation.)
(Available for amplifier unit from version 24 and FXW(HHC) version
5.3.)
7. Burnout current flexibility (Under Scale: 3.2 to 3.8mA,
Over Scale: 20.8 to 21.6mA)
Burnout signal level is adjustable using Model FXW hand
Held Communicator (HHC) to comply with NAMUR NE43.
(Available for amplifier unit from version 24 and FXW (HHC) version
5.3.)
8. Dry calibration without reference pressure
Thanks to the best combination of unique construction
of mechanical parts (Sensor unit) and high performance
electronics circuit (Electronics unit), reliability of dry cali-
bration without reference pressure is at equal level as
wet calibration.
