It may look the same as the Fox Model FT2, but the New Fox Model FT2A has a lot that’s new to offer.
When Fox Thermal Instruments first introduced the Model FT2 in 2001, it quickly became the most trusted thermal mass flow meter and temperature transmitter on the market. It has been a popular and high-demand product for more than 12 years.
As demand increased in broadening markets, Fox engineers determined that upgrading the design and features would further raise quality and add to the customers’ overall user experience. With this in mind, Fox has taken a hard look at its most trusted product, brought it back to the drawing board, and revolutionized the design of the flow meter in order to offer Fox customers an even more robust flow meter for harsh industrial environments. Furthermore, to expand to the Building Automation industry, Fox has broadened the communications options available on the FT2A to include BACnet MS/TP.
New Fox Configurator: Better Design and Faster Configurations
Fox has taken its flow meter configurator and updated the design and functionality for better aesthetics, quicker configurations, and an easier user interface.
This new configurator still allows you to input your process conditions and receive confirmation that a Fox meter is right for your application. Also, the configurator still allows you to easily select various options from pull down menus to develop a complete model number; however, the configurator now operates much faster as it configures your meter.
New features include the ability to choose the quantity of meters to share the configuration, custom STP values, 21 different flow units, and 5 different pressure units.
