Overview
The OPTIFLUX 1400 is a lightweight, wafer-style electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) designed as a cost-effective solution for applications requiring higher accuracy, advanced diagnostics, and wireless on-site verification. It is especially well-suited for space-saving installation on compact dosing skids handling conductive liquids – such as chemicals – or slurry-like media with very high solid content, including manure.
The flowmeter features a simplified menu structure for optimised operation and offers a wide range of configurable settings, e.g. for conductivity or empty pipe alerts. These are colour-coded according to NAMUR NE 107 standards and displayed on a high-resolution screen. Utilising OPTICHECK technology built-in, the OPTIFLUX 1400 offers approximately 80 different application and device diagnostics. It also comes with a real-time clock for event logging and analysis of the recorded diagnostics
Next to continuous self-monitoring, the OPTIFLUX 1400 offers wireless parameterisation, real-time measurement monitoring, and on-site verification via Bluetooth® when used with the KROHNE OPTICHECK Flow Mobile app. A verification report can be generated at the push of a button – without interrupting production, opening the converter housing, or working in confined spaces. This greatly simplifies operation and maintenance while improving occupational safety.
With no internal moving parts, the OPTIFLUX 1400 is maintenance-free and resistant to vibration. It also supports EcoMode – an energy-efficient setting that reduces power consumption without compromising accuracy, promoting sustainable and efficient energy use.
