The flowmeter with paddle wheel is available as a magnetic or an optical variant. The flowmeter in its magnetic variant is specially designed for use with neutral or mildly aggressive, particle-free liquids. The optical variant is only intended for use with infrared-transmissive liquids. Type 8012 consists of a fitting (Type S012) and an electronic module (Type SE12) that are screwed together. Bürkert’s proprietary fitting system ensures simple installation into all pipelines from DN 06…DN 65. Type 8012 can also be integrated in customer-specific block systems. Depending on the particular electronic module variant, Type 8012 is either supplied with one pulse output or with a pulse output and a 4…20 mA current output signal. The pulse output, which can be transmitted and processed by a Bürkert Remote Transmitter/Controller, generates a configurable frequency proportional to the volume flow rate, or can be used as a switching output.
