Twin Digital Flow Meter TFW/TFM-200

The ATSENSE TFW-200 and TFM-200 are high-performance twin digital panel meters designed for engine R&D and test systems. The TFW-200 measures both instantaneous and total fuel flow, while the TFM-200 provides dual-channel instantaneous flow measurement with A/B sensor support. Featuring a two-level LCD, CAN output, and a wide range of analog, digital, and communication interfaces (USB, RS-232/485), these meters enable simultaneous measurement, averaging, and repeat integration. With fast 1 ms analog output, IP66 front protection, and flexible configuration, the TFW/TFM-200 ensures precise and efficient fuel flow monitoring.

The first panel meter that has been used for CAN data output (option)
6-digit and 13-digit, two-level, high brightness LCD display (red and green). You can choose the display color.
A multitude of options (analog output/BCD output/CAN output/contact output/RS232 communication/RS485 communication/USB communication)

【High-performance functions】
The functions and performance of the flow rate meter have been incorporated into the panel meter. Analog output is at a high speed of 1ms.

And you can choose from a multitude of output options to use

〇 Instantaneous flow and total flow can be measured simultaneously 〇 As well as the real total flow, you can also measure the average flow over any given period 〇 Both flow sensors (A, B) can be measured at the same time, and the display and analog signal for each can be output as desired 〇 The combinations A+B, A-B, and the average flow can also be measured as either the instantaneous or the total flow 〇 An auto-repeat measurement is possible in which integration commences when “Start” is entered, and the display and output refreshed after a set time has elapsed, and this then repeated until “Stop” is entered.

The model configuration of the TFW-200 and TFM-200 is shown in the figure below.
When option “No” was selected the model configuration is left-justified.
Multiple options of the same option group cannot be selected.
Two types of output can be selected from among digital output, contact output, and communication.
