SITRANS FMS500 Magnetic Flow Sensor → PRODUCT

The SITRANS FMT020 is the new state-of-the-art transmitter in our range of electromagnetic flow meters, fully backward compatible with existing sensors.

The innovative SITRANS FMT020 flow transmitter is a completely new generation of the MAG transmitter series. The instrument is based on our 4-wire platform and is easy to install, configure, and operate. The design of the SITRANS FMT020 combines 25 years of experience with hundreds of thousands of applications and satisfied customers.

Prepare for new experiences with our SITRANS FMT020. It offers our proven SENSORPROM and unique fingerprint, combined with our embedded self-test, which provides valuable performance information at any time. With the new Bluetooth-powered Verificator tool, we go beyond basic internal self-tests and offer a complete external verification with a traceable report. True flexibility means the SITRANS FMT020 offers groundbreaking connectivity and digitization features. It also has a wide range of flexible plug-and-play modules, including Profinet and Ethernet.

The SITRANS FMT020 enhances the benefits of its predecessor. It has a meticulously designed, award-winning, compact, and robust housing made from the best materials. The highly reliable electronics provide future-proof connectivity and digitization.

The SITRANS FMT020 is a cost-effective solution with higher customer value for your applications in the water industry, as well as in all other industries. With the powerful combination of this new transmitter and our existing sensor range, our product solutions are perfect for the most diverse applications.

→ Rugged and Robust

The SITRANS FMT020 features a very robust one-piece enclosure with the highest UV resistance. No more challenges with underwater or buried applications. Standard or potted high-end enclosures with IP68 are available.

→ High-Performing and Accurate

To enhance the value of our flow measurement, we have improved the accuracy at the low end to +/-0.9 mm/s, with a turndown ratio of 1000:1. Combining flow velocity and conductivity with remarkable repeatability, the SITRANS FMT020 is one of the highest-performing devices on the market.

→ User-Friendly

The SITRANS FMT020 is equipped with a large, rotatable, backlit 14-digit graphical display for optimal visibility in any mounting position. Capacitive touch keys, 13 languages, and a menu-driven wizard ensure the easiest commissioning.

→ Easy Data Access

An independent service port and an SD card slot for easy data backlog are built-in. You can also use our PDM tool for service purposes to access your data.

→ Reliable in Harsh Environments

The SITRANS FMT020 is ready for new challenging environments with an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 65°C.

→ Versatile Mounting

Compact or wall bracket mounting can be determined directly on-site without any hardware changes.

→ Seamless Integration

Your SITRANS FMT020 offers room for flexible expansions. Plug-&-Play communication modules can be added: HART 7, Profinet, Ethernet IP, or MODBUS RS485 are available as options, with more in planning (Profibus DP, Profibus PA, or Bluetooth).

→ Comprehensive Self-Test and Verification

A full self-test functionality is available as standard. System operation data can be reported and recorded using the advanced version. Verification is possible as a service option by licensing the verification process.

→ Sustainable and Future-Proof

The SITRANS FMT020 is also part of our company-wide sustainability strategy. We understand customer challenges, resource-efficient production, fair-trade supplier practices, transparent and stable supply chains. We reduce waste, water consumption, and carbon footprint. These are just a few of the many noteworthy initiatives.
