Material Composition: Robust industrial-grade materials suitable for hazardous area deployment (flow transducer configuration).

Structural Features: Clamp-on design for non-invasive installation on pipes (flow transducer). DIN rail mountable enclosure (relay driver module).

Working Principle (Flow Transducer): The clamp-on transducers emit ultrasonic signals through the pipe wall into the flowing fluid. The transit-time difference between upstream and downstream measurements is used to calculate flow velocity with high accuracy, without contacting the process fluid.

Working Principle (Relay Driver): The module receives control signals via Modbus RTU over RS-485 and drives high-voltage relay outputs (1500 V RMS rating) for turbine protection and control functions within Mark VIe systems.

Model Series: GE Panametrics Flow Measurement Series; GE Mark VIe Control System Series

Installation Requirements (Flow Transducer):

• Clamp-on mounting on appropriate pipe diameter

• Requires compatible GE Panametrics ultrasonic flow meter for operation

• Hazardous area installation requires appropriate junction box

Installation Requirements (Relay Driver Module):
