WEBTEC FlowHUB Serie Manual Del Usuario página 3

Introduction
The FlowHUB is ideal for condition monitoring, test stands and closed loop control applications both for fluid power and
lubrication systems. The FlowHUB can measure and display flow and temperature readings as well as switch and transmit
flow values. This enables a system designer to trigger alarms, shutoffs and transmit real-time values to a PLC using just
one component, instead of up to six which might have been required conventionally. This represents a significant cost
saving in terms of reduced complexity of wiring and far fewer components.
The FLOWHUB is available in four versions - 'Switch', 'Transmitter', 'Ultimate' and 'ViscoCorrect', all four versions have
built in temperature measurement and a large bright digital display. The 'Switch', 'Transmitter' and 'Ultimate' versions
are available in five flow ranges from 1 to 360 lpm (0.25 to 100 US gpm) and in two pressure ranges 210 and 420 bar
(3,000 and 6,000 psi).
The 'Switch' version provides two configurable switched outputs; the level, time delay, sense (above/below) and normal
mode (normally closed/normally open) can all be freely configured. Each switch is independent and can switch up to
500 mA. The 'Transmitter' version provides a conditioned analogue output either 0 - 5 Volts or 4 - 20 mA - full scale is
configurable to any maximum flow. The 'Ultimate' version has both the switches and transmitter and the highest pressure
rating of 420 bar (6,000 psi) as well as an enhanced response time of 50 ms.
The 'ViscoCorrect' version has all the 'Ultimate' features plus the capability to measure flow for two different fluids, water
and oil (oil viscosities from 1 to 85 cSt). Available in two flow ranges only 30 and 240 lpm. ViscoCorrect is a registered
trademark owned by Webtec.
Before first operating the equipment read the whole of these instructions. Safety may be impaired if they are not followed.
Webtec have been designing and manufacturing flow meters and hydraulics components for over 50 years. We operate
