IFC050 Converter

✔ Selection Parameters — What They Mean for Clients

1. Industry & Application Suitability

IFC050 is best used where:

• Basic flow measurement is enough (no batching, no mass/energy calculations)
• Utilities / non-critical process lines
• Water distribution & pumping systems
• Irrigation & agricultural pipelines
• ETP/WTP networks
• Simple, low-cost installations

2. Choose IFC050 When You Need:

• Simple volumetric flow monitoring
• Lower installation cost
• Basic diagnostics
• No advanced communication (SCADA only needs 4–20 mA)
• Non-hygienic applications
• Stable readings for conductive fluids only

3. Accuracy Requirement

• Best for utility water, raw water, cooling water, treated water, non-critical chemicals
• If accuracy requirement exceeds ±0.5%, select IFC100 or IFC300

4. Sensor Compatibility

Choose IFC050 if using:

• OPTIFLUX 1000 → General water + basic industrial lines
• OPTIFLUX 2000 → Industrial water, slight chemical content
• WATERFLUX Series → Potable water, irrigation, distribution networks

For sanitary or demanding chemical applications → use IFC100/300.

5. Communication Needs

IFC050 supports only analog + pulse.
Select it when:

• SCADA/PLC needs basic 4-20mA input
• No HART, Modbus, Profibus, or Ethernet is required
• Low-cost monitoring system is the goal

6. Diagnostics & Maintenance

• Provides basic error indications only
• Empty pipe detection prevents false flow readings
• Ideal for low-maintenance water lines
• No advanced health monitoring (choose IFC100/300 for that)
