Seametrics FT 500 Series Batch Controller

Seametrics FT 500 Series Batch Controller The FT500-Series is a batching flow processor with additional output controls. It is designed for use with Seametrics flow meters and flow sensors, as well as other manufacturers’ products that have frequency output proportional to flow. In addition to batch functions, the FT500- Series indicates flow rate, and other data in large 3/8” (9.66 mm) digits on an easily-read, backlit display. Units of measure are user selectable and range from milliliters per second to millions of gallons per day. The unit can be 110 Vac powered with a standard 3-wire cord (included), 220 Vac powered (optional), or DC powered through an internal terminal strip.

An analog output of 4-20 mA is available both in an active and passive loop configuration, and in 0-5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc outputs, and can be used in applications such as flow rate logging. Two programmable pulse-scaled outputs are also standard and can be used, for example, to provide proportional chemical feed with a pulse-responsive metering pump.

The housing is supplied with two brackets for wall-mount applications, or the top/bottom housings can be easily separated and reassembled for panel-mount.

Specifications

ParameterSpecification
Input SignalFrequency/Pulse input from mechanical or electronic flow meters (NPN, PNP, or magnetic pickup)
Sensor Power12 V DC, 100 mA unregulated output to power connected flow sensors
Display2-line backlit LCD showing 8-digit totalizer and 5-digit rate indicator
Control Relay Outputs2× SPDT Relays (115/230 V AC, 5 A max) for valve/pump control
Analog & Pulse OutputsIsolated 4–20 mA output + scalable pulse output for SCADA/PLC logging
Power Supply Options115 V AC standard (Optional: 230 V AC or 12 V DC)
Enclosure RatingNEMA 4X / IP65 wall-mount (polycarbonate) or DIN panel mount option
Operating Temperature0°C to +55°C (32°F to 130°F)

Features

  • Batch Control & Dispensing: Allows operators to program preset volume batches. Upon pressing start, the controller actuates control relays (e.g., opening a solenoid valve or starting a dosing pump) and automatically shuts off power once the target batch volume is reached.

  • Flow Rate & Totalizer Display: Simultaneously displays real-time flow rate, resettable batch quantity, and non-resettable cumulative total volume on a backlit LCD screen.

  • Filter Regeneration / Backwash Control (FT520 Variant): Functions as a regeneration controller for water treatment systems, tracking total usage and triggering automated backwash valve cycles after a specified volume threshold is reached.

Applications

1. Chemical Processing & Industrial Blending

  • Batch Chemical Dosing: Metering precise quantities of reagents, solvents, or additives into reaction vessels or mixing vats.

  • Proportional Blending: Controlling primary feed lines and secondary injection pumps to maintain correct mixture ratios.

  • Hazardous Liquid Handling: Utilizing the NEMA 4X enclosure and remote pulse inputs to keep operators away from dangerous liquid lines.

2. Water Treatment & Environmental Systems

  • Filter Regeneration & Backwashing (FT520 Model): Monitoring cumulative water flow through carbon filters, softeners, or sand beds and automatically triggering backwash valve cycles when capacity limits are met.

  • Wastewater Neutralization: Regulating chemical dosing pumps based on totalized volume throughput to neutralize effluent pH before discharge.

  • RO (Reverse Osmosis) Systems: Tracking permeate and concentrate totals while providing batch fill capability for storage tanks.
