OPTIFLUX 1300

The OPTIFLUX 1300 flow meter is designed as a modular measuring system consisting of the flangeless OPTIFLUX 1000 flow sensor combined with the versatile IFC 300 signal converter to provide accurate measurement for conductive liquids. it is engineered for industries ranging from water and wastewater to HVAC , this flowmeter handles electrically conductive liquids (≥ 5 µS/cm) with solid contents up to 70%.

Unlike bas flowmeters, the OPTIFLUX 1300 utilises the advanced electronics of the IFC 300, enabling deep device and process diagnostics, higher accuracy, and a wide range of digital communication options like HART®, Modbus, PROFINET, etc. Its construction features a reinforced PFA liner and Hastelloy® electrodes as standard, ensuring exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals and wide temperature ranges (-25 to +120°C).

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fluids can the OPTIFLUX 1300 measure?

OPTIFLUX 1300 designed to measure electrically conductive liquids with a conductivity of ≥ 5 µS/cm (standard) or ≥ 20 µS/cm for demineralized water. It can handle liquids with a solid content of up to 70% when paired with the IFC 300 converter. Common applications include water distribution, wastewater, fire-fighting systems, and HVAC cooling systems.

What communication protocols does the OPTIFLUX 1300 support?

The IFC 300 converter offers a wide range of communication options, including HART®, Modbus, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, PROFIBUS® (PA/DP), and PROFINET.

Can the OPTIFLUX 1300 be installed in hazardous areas?

Yes. The OPTIFLUX 1300 has various approvals for hazardous areas, including ATEX, FM, CSA, NEPSI, and IECEx. It allows for installation in zones requiring protection such as Ex d (flameproof) or Ex e (increased safety).

How can I verify the accuracy of the OPTIFLUX 1300 without removing it from the line?

The OPTIFLUX 1300 can be verified using the OPTICHECK tool. This portable device connects to the signal converter (without interrupting the process) to check the device’s functionality, circuitry, and accuracy against its original factory calibration.

Can OPTIFLUX 1300 detect if the pipe is empty?

Yes. The IFC 300 converter includes extensive diagnostics, including empty pipe detection and conductivity changes, to prevent measurement errors when the sensor is not fully filled
