F175
Level / Pump Controller, Open Channel Flow Monitor
with configurable analog and control / alarm output
Product description
The F175 is a versatile and powerful pump / level controller with continuous level monitoring and dual open channel flow measurement features.. Its primary level indicator function is to display the measured level input with level/height or volume indication and a dedicated bargraph. For pump / level controlling individual set- and resetpoints with hysteresis can activate up to 4 pumps (standalone or group function) to control the desired levels. It can also be used for open channel flow measurement, incl. flow monitoring and totalizing.
For level monitoring, it offers two low and two high level alarm values with hysteresis and ignore function to monitor the level.
The F175 is the versatile topmodel in the next generation of F-Series level indicators, monitors, and controllers! These four powerful products that not only include the features of our previous F1-level-Series, but also bring a broad range of enhanced capabilities. The new F-Series level indicators take performance, functionality, and reliability to the next level!
Advantages
- Versatile pump / level controller with continuous level and/or open channel flow measurement monitoring.
- Robust aluminum or stainless steel 316L field enclosure (IP65, IP67 / Type4X) .
It is so rugged, a truck can even stand on it! - Familiar easy operation with the Fluidwell "Know one, know them all" configuration structure, saving time, cost and aggravation.
- Very diverse mounting possibilities: walls, pipes, panels or directly onto outdoor sensors.
- Clear dual line display to show level/height, volume, flow rate, total, percentage filled, 4-20mA input or alarm values.

Features
- Accurate pump / level control with 4 set- and resetpoints.
- Level monitoring with 4 alarm values: low-low, low, high and high-high level alarms, with configurable hysteresis.
- Two open channel flows: linear, table or weir/flume formulas.
- Bargraph according the level/height or volume.
- Red flashing LED backlight in case of an alarm condition.
- Custom measurement units for level/height and volume.
- 1 level input signal: (0)4 - 20mA (HART transparent).
- Namur NE43 sensor fault detection with visualization on the screen and configurable analog output retransmission of the sensor status.
- 48 point strapping table (linearization) for tank shape/weir/flume compensation.
- 3 remote control inputs to trigger an action or define a status.
- Active or isolated (passive) analog output according to the actual level/height, volume, flow rate or input retransmission.
- Up to 4 heavy duty, mechanical relay outputs.
- Full Modbus communication RS485, isolated RS485 or RS232.
- Plug-and-play USB-C port for simple remote configuration.
- Easy programming with PC/laptop and free software tool.
- Isolated power supply: 12-24V AC / 12-30V DC or 115-230V AC.
- Auto backup of all setting.
Applications
- Level measurement with strapping table volume calculation (linearization of the tank shape) and continuous level monitoring is important as well as signal re-transmission of the level or serial communication.
- Pump controller with 4 setpoints, 4 resetpoints and up to 4 heavy duty, relay pump control outputs to maintain the desired levels.
Advanced pump functions: Fill and drain functions, pump group selections, alternating pump control on order or running hours, running hours displayed at the screen. - Flow rate monitoring with level instrumentation like open channel measurement. When the level input information is combined with the known physical characteristics of the channel the flow rate and total can be calculated, displayed and monitored with alarm values.
- Designed for wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, irrigation channels, industrial discharge systems, and flood prevention applications, providing reliable real-time flow insight for improved water management, environmental compliance, pump control, and operational efficiency, while enabling automatic control of pumps, valves, and alarm systems.
