Product Description
The Yokogawa FLXA21 is a 2-wire, dual-channel transmitter/analyzer designed for various types of liquid measurements, such as pH, ORP, conductivity, inductive conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. Here's a breakdown of its key features and specifications:
Key Features and Capabilities
-
Dual Channel Measurement: The FLXA21 can accept two sensor modules, each capable of measuring one of the following:
- pH/ORP
- Conductivity (SC)
- Inductive Conductivity (ISC)
- Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
- Self-Diagnostics: The system continuously checks for issues like electrode contamination, damage, or low liquid levels, reducing maintenance costs.
-
Wide Input and Output Ranges:
- pH: -2 to 16 pH
- ORP: -1500 to 1500 mV
- Conductivity: 0 µS/cm to 200 mS/cm (depending on cell constant)
- Dissolved Oxygen: 0 to 50 mg/L (ppm)
Accuracy and Performance
- pH Accuracy: ±0.01 pH
- ORP Accuracy: ±1 mV
- Temperature Accuracy: ±0.3 °C for most sensors
- Conductivity: ±0.5% F.S. for measurements from 2 µS/cm to 200 mS/cm
- Dissolved Oxygen: ±0.05 ppm or ±0.8% F.S., whichever is greater
Power Supply and Signal Output
- Loop Powered: Nominal 24 V DC, supports a wide range (16 to 40V DC for pH/ORP, SC, DO inputs; 17 to 40V DC for ISC)
- Output: 4-20 mA with HART digital communication
- Burnout Function: Allows detection of sensor failure or disconnection (e.g., 3.6 mA or 22 mA signals for different conditions)
Display and Interface
- LCD Touchscreen: Black and white, 213x160 pixels, with adjustable contrast.
- Multi-Language Support: Supports 12 languages, including English, Japanese, German, and Chinese.
Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
- Housing: Polycarbonate, IP66, NEMA Type 4X, and CSA Type 3S/4X certified.
- Mounting: Offers various mounting hardware options, including universal mounting kits, pipe and wall mounts, and panel mounts.
- Ambient Operating Temperature: -20 to +55°C
- Storage Temperature: -30 to +70°C
- Humidity: 10 to 90% RH at 40°C, non-condensing.
Digital Communication
- HART Protocol: Provides digital communication, enabling advanced diagnostics, configuration, and measurement data output.
- Calculated Data: The analyzer can also calculate and output data from both sensors (in dual-sensor configurations).
Model Breakdown (Suffix Codes)
The FLXA21's suffix codes define various configuration options such as power supply type, housing material, input types, and language set. Some examples include:
- Power Supply: Always -D (fixed configuration)
- Housing: -P (plastic)
- Inputs: -P1 for pH/ORP, -C1 for Conductivity, etc.
- Output: -A for 4-20 mA with HART
- Language Set: -LA for English and 11 additional languages
