Key Benefits and Advantages
Scalable and Configurable I/O The 4700 is built for flexibility, allowing users to scale from one to three output channels based on specific application needs. These channels are fully configurable and licensed, enabling the transmitter to adapt to a wide range of control system requirements. It also features 4-wire and 9-wire backwards compatibility, making it an excellent choice for upgrading existing installations.
Wireless Configuration with Bluetooth® To enhance safety and productivity, the 4700 offers an optional Bluetooth® enabled display. This allows technicians to configure and interrogate the device wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet, eliminating the need for a hot work permit to open the housing in hazardous areas. This minimizes the time personnel spend in potentially dangerous locations while speeding up commissioning and maintenance.
Advanced Data Historian and Audit Trail The optional onboard historian provides a comprehensive record of process events and meter health. It is capable of recording process deviations and upsets every second for up to 11 days, and every five minutes for a full year. This detailed, time-stamped measurement history is invaluable for troubleshooting, process optimization, and maintaining quality standards.
Comprehensive Meter Diagnostics Smart Meter Verification (SMV) Basic comes standard on the 4700, providing automated confidence that the meter is performing within factory specifications without interrupting the process. Additionally, the Zero Verification tool confirms the meter’s calibration and provides clear indications of when a re-zeroing procedure is actually required, preventing unnecessary maintenance.
Real-Time Multi-phase Flow Indication Process control is significantly improved through real-time detection of multi-phase flow events. The 4700 provides immediate alerts when entrained gas or mixed-phase fluids are present, allowing operators to take corrective action to protect product quality and prevent measurement errors.
Safety and Reliability The transmitter is certified SIL2 and SIL3 capable (for both single and multiple meter configurations) per IEC 61508. This high level of safety certification, combined with its direct mass and high-accuracy density measurement, makes it a reliable cornerstone for critical safety-instrumented systems.
