The following details are for the static pressure measurement of the MultiVariable sensor
The following section applies to the “in-line” integral static pressure sensor, without differential pressure, which
would typically be used with linear meters that provide a pulsed signal for flow.
These static pressure sensors are provided in stainless steel with a 1/2 “– 14 NPT female process connection.

Power Modes
To keep power consumption to a minimum, especially for remote sites, the FB1200 can run in two different power
modes, low and standard. The FB1200 normally runs in low power mode for standard metering applications.
When running in low power mode, the radio power control function is used to switch to standard power mode and
enable the serial ports. During communication periods, the unit uses the standard power mode and then
automatically reverts to low power mode when the communication period is over.
Notes:
Serial connection to a remote 4088B MVT can run in low power mode.
If PID control, math/logic blocks, or Ethernet communications are enabled, or a serial port set to Modbus
master, or the additional 6 channel I/O board is fitted and enabled, the unit will run in the standard power mode.
The local display and FBxWifi can be configured to switch off after a period of inactivity (configurable between 1 and
60 minutes) or be permanently left on.
When running in low power mode, if you need to use more than the default number of data points for logging,
consult the Emerson FB1200 Flow Computer Instruction Manual (D301782X012) to determine the possible impact on
power consumption.
