The MC108 Converter is a full-feature, multiple-output, user-programmable converter that features second-generation micro-electronics for lower power operation and enhanced capability. The MC108 Converter powers the Electromagnetic Flow Meter Sensor coils and processes created voltage, converting that voltage into flow data. Flow data can be transmitted to another device and/or displayed on the unit.

Standard Features of the MC108 Converter Include:

  • Compatibility with Sensor models M500 (remote converter version only), M1000, M1100, M2200, M2400 and M2500.
  • Available in either remote or sensor-mounted, compact version.
  • Designed for use in ambient temperatures ranging from -4° F to 140° F.
  • Combined with the sensor, maximum accuracy error is given by the following:
  • ± 0.25% when flows are in the user-set 10:1 range of 3 ft./sec. to 36 ft./sec.
  • ± 0.50% outside the 10:1 range, for flows between 1 1/2 ft./sec. and 36 ft./sec.
  • Automatic flow range adjustment providing maximum accuracy though full available flow range.
  • Standard die-cast aluminum IP67-rated case. Optional IP68-rated case.
  • Two line 16-character LCD display. (Blind version also available.)
  • Easy access, 6-key front panel programming keyboard.
  • Four internal totalizers: Total forward flow, total reverse flow and partial forward and partial reverse flows (partial totalizers can be used to determine net forward and reverse flows).
  • Terminals for internal totalizer resetting.
  • Multiple programming levels:
  • Level 0: View only, no configuration or alarm changes.
  • Level 1 (basic configuration): allows password-protected changes to non-critical parameters;
  • Level 2: allows password-protected changes to all configuration parameters and alarms.
  • Hardware malfunction alarms for both Converter and Sensor.
  • Automatic empty pipe detection and totalizer cut-off.
  • Standard, choice of one output alarm: minimum or maximum flow rate, empty pipe, reverse flow or overflow/automatic scale change alarm. (Multiple output alarms optional.)
  • User set low flow cut-off from 0 to 25% of full scale value.
  • Factory set self-diagnostic messages.
  • 4 - 20 mA output to a maximum load of 1000 ohms.
  • Configurable choice of 0-2.5 kHz or 0-12.5 kHz digital output.
  • RS-485 interface for network connections. Optional RS-232 output.
  • Configurable digital pulse output. (24 VDC pulse output scaled to standard measurement units.)
  • Galvanically insulated outputs.
  • 90 to 260 volt, 50/60 Hz power supply, keyboard-selected. Optional 24 volt AC or DC. (Power consumption 10 watts or less, depending on Sensor size.)
Installation
In the remote versions, no more than 45 feet of cable may connect Converter and Sensor. Longer separation distances require TRM 200 Repeater(s).
