Series 8500 Optaflow® Controller Ideal for Wide Range of Liquid and Gas Fluid Control Applications



Key Instruments, a leading manufacturer of machined acrylic meters, molded polycarbonate, glass tube and electronic flowmeters, optical flow alarms and controllers, as well as flow control valves, has announced the immediate availability of their new Series 8500 Optaflow® Controller for liquid and gas fluid control in R&D, laboratory analysis, pilot plant, small batch and quality assurance applications. Engineered to provide accuracy to +/- 3% of full scale standard (+/- 1% optional), the Series 8500 Optaflow® Controller combines noncontact optical sensors and electromechanical features to set and monitor flow control functions. A tracking mode adjusts the unit's control valve to maintain preset flow parameters and an integrated alarm function provides an audible and visual signal. Real-time flow rate and totalization display, local or remote set-point via 2 alarm set-points, and a fully-functional remote PC interface for multi-unit communication via RS 232/485 are standard. Liquid models are calibrated for water and contain a manual bleed valve. Gas models offer selectable calibration of six (6) gases: air, O2, N2, Ar, CO2, and HE.
