Foam Controllers for use with SureSense sensors

To provide the intelligent interface between your process control and Charis SureSense sensors we have developed a range of foam control units. The Charis Technology Foam Controller units are intended for use in a permanent installation to sense and/or control foam in a reactor or other containment area and should only be used with a Charis Technology Foam Sensor to achieve the operation described.
FCW2:- This is the most commonly used of our Foam Controllers. It is designed to be wall mounted and is water and dust proof to IP65 standard. The FCW2 can be used to transmit a signal to a process controller or alarm, or alternatively it can be used to control a pump or valve directly to dose antifoam by means of a ‘Delay and Shot’ algorithm.
FTRAN:- The FTRAN operates in the same way as the FCW2 but is designed to be surface mounted inside the customers existing control cabinet.
FCR2:- This rack mounted control unit is suitable for use in situations where several sensors are monitored from a single location. The control unit slots into a standard 19" rack and mates with a DIN 41612 type "D" indirect edge connector. As with the FCW2 and the FTRAN this Controller Unit can be used as a transmitter to signal to a process controller or alarm. Alternatively it can be used to control a pump or valve directly to dose antifoam by means of a ‘Delay and Shot’ algorithm.
FCS200:- The Charis Technology FCS200 Foam Controller is an advanced design foam controller unit. Built to rugged industrial standards the FCS200 includes a diaphragm pump to pump antifoam into the process automatically when required. It can also be connected to external devices such as process controllers, Scada systems and alarms.
FCS2:- The FCS2 is an advanced purpose designed Foam Controller unit designed principally for use in a laboratory to control foam in a small reactor. The Control Unit incorporates a peristaltic pump which can be used to dose controlled amounts of antifoam chemicals or other agents. The unit also has access to volt free terminals at the rear to enable control of a remote pump or other actuator, and also enables data logging.
FLCW2:- The FLCW2 is a wall mounted foam controller that can differentiate between liquid and foam. If the SureSense foam sensor becomes submerged in liquid it will no longer be able to sense foam but the FLCW2 can recognise this and generates an output to indicate the presence of liquid. Alternatively the controller can be used in a “stand alone” system to control a pump or valve directly to dose antifoam by means of a ‘Delay and Shot’ algorithm. This unit is also available as a 19" rack mounting version the FLCR2.
