IS-Series: Intrinsically Safe Mass Flow Controllers & Meters for Hazardous Environments
IS-Series Intrinsically Safe Mass Flow Controllers & Meters are designed for use in hazardous environments, with Class 1/Div 1 hazardous area classifications.
- Hazardous area certifications: Class 1, Zone 1, Group IIC, T4; Class 1, Div. 1, Group A,B,C,D,T4.
- Fast, multivariate data. Immediately upon powering up, control either mass flow, volumetric flow, or pressure and display instantaneous flow, pressure, and temperature readings, in your choice of engineering units.
- Easy integration. Inline or NeSSI SP76 compatible, custom process ports and electrical connectors, and your choice of Modbus RTU or serial communications for easy integration into your process.

Device Features
Included with each device
- Multi-variable process measurements: Simultaneously measure mass flow, volumetric flow, gas pressure, and gas temperature.
- User changeable units of measurement: Change the unit of measurement for pressure, flow, or temperature from our extensive list of engineering units.
- Gas selectability: Select your process gas from any of the 98+ preloaded NIST-traceable gas calibrations in our gas list.
- Gas Select COMPOSER™: Define 20 custom gas mixtures of up to 5 constituent gases using our Gas Select Composer™ firmware.
- Monochrome backlit LCD with integrated touchpad: Easily read measurements using the backlit display and control configurations with the user-friendly integrated touchpad.
- User adjustable setpoint ramping & limits: Configurable ramp rates allow the process variable to be controlled as fast or as slow as desired, and configurable setpoint limits protect processes from inadvertent setpoint changes.
- User adjustable standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions: Quickly change reference conditions without need for recalibration.
- Valve close override and valve open override: Utilize alarms to quickly vent your system or stop all flow as needed.
