202A Loop Powered Rate Totaliser

Contrec 202D Field Mounted Rate Totaliser

The 202A Loop Powered Rate Totaliser from Contrec has been designed to operate with any flowmeter which produces a 4-20mA output, including differential pressure devices, magnetic or vortex flowmeters. The 202A is powered entirely from the 4-20mA current loop and has a maximum of 2.5 volts drop across the input. The Rate Totaliser is fully programmable with linear or square law input relationships, programmable span, cutoffs and conversion factors.

A non-volatile memory stores all set up parameters and totals without the need for internal batteries or external power. High and low alarms are standard via optically isolated solid state relay outputs. Alternatively, the high alarm output can be programmed to provide a scaled pulse output proportional to the total.

Intrinsically safe

The Model 202A is certified as intrinsically safe to European ATEX/IECEx standards, and CSA US/C standards for both the USA and Canada.

Watertight field mounting enclosure

The 202A Rate Totaliser is housed in a rugged, yet attractive, IP67 (Nema 4X) polycarbonate enclosure which is completely watertight. This enables the instrument to be mounted directly on the flowmeter, panel mounted or wall mounted using a special universal bracket. A 51mm pipe mounting bracket is also available.

Fully user programmable 

K-factor, decimal point positions, filter constants and time base are fully user programmable. Rate and Totals can also be displayed in different engineering units such as gallons per minute and barrels. Using Contrec's unique magnet access strip allows the 202A to be re-configured in hazardous areas without opening the enclosure. The is a great benefit to reduce shutdown of production and improves maintenance efficiency.

High and Low Alarms

Alarms are standard via optically isolated solid state relay outputs. Alternatively, the hight alarm output can be programmed to provide a scaled pulse output proportional to the total.

Frequency to Current Conversion 

The 202A loop powered Rate Totaliser makes an excellent Frequency to Current Converter, particularly for low frequency inputs from positive displacement or turbine flowmeters. Because the 202A rate totaliser calculates the flow rate by measuring the time interval between input pulses, it is able to provide a very stable and accurate 4-20mA output for low frequency inputs.
