F-5500
THERMAL MASS
FLOW METER
ONICON’s
F-5500 Series
Thermal Mass
Flow Meters
provide
accurate and
reliable flow
measurement
for natural gas,
compressed
air, and other
industrial gas
applications.
FEATURES
BACnet MS/TP or MODBUS RTU - The standard
F-5500 includes an RS485 output that provides BACnet
MS/TP or Modbus RTU. Data reported to the network
includes flow rate and total, temperature and elapsed
time since reset.
CALIBRATION
Every ONICON flow meter is wet calibrated in a flow laboratory
against standards that are directly traceable to NIST*. A
certificate of calibration accompanies every meter.
