IFM SM8000 Flow Meter 0.2-100 L/min 4-20mA PNP/NPN IO-Link IP67 G1

Overview
The IFM SM8000 (SMR11GGXFRKG/US‑100) is a high‑precision magnetic‑inductive flow meter designed for accurate measurement of volumetric flow, totalised consumption, and medium temperature in conductive liquids. Operating on Faraday‘s law of electromagnetic induction, this meter delivers exceptional measurement dynamics with a wide measuring range of 0.2…100 l/min (0.01…6 m³/h) for water‑based and conductive media with a minimum conductivity of ≥ 20 µS/cm.

The device features a 4‑digit LED display for clear, real‑time indication of actual values, complemented by intuitive push‑button operation or remote parameterisation via IO‑Link. It provides two configurable PNP/NPN switching outputs (200 mA each, programmable as normally open/normally closed) and one scalable analogue output (4…20 mA or 0…10 V), plus a pulse output for totaliser functionality. Housed in a stainless steel (316L) body with gold‑plated contacts, the SM8000 is built for industrial environments and supports medium temperatures from -10…70 °C, a pressure rating of 16 bar (CRN: 10.4 bar), and a process connection of G 1 external thread DN25 flat seal. With IP65/IP67 protection rating and compliance with EN 60947‑5‑2 EMC standards, the SM8000 is suitable for demanding applications such as cooling water monitoring, hydraulic systems, and general process control.

Key Features

• Original brand new, within warranty period – Factory‑sealed, genuine IFM component with full manufacturer warranty.

• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee – Risk‑free purchase; if you are not completely satisfied, we will replace or refund.

• Magnetic‑inductive (Faraday) measuring principle – Contact‑free measurement of volumetric flow rate in conductive liquids, unaffected by pressure, density, temperature, or viscosity variations within the specified limits.

• Wide measuring range with high accuracy – Covers 0.2…100 l/min (0.01…6 m³/h) with resolution of 0.1 l/min, accuracy of ±(0.8 % MW + 0.5 % MEW), and repeatability of ± 0.2 % MEW, enabling precise flow control even at low rates.

• Integrated medium temperature measurement – Continuously monitors medium temperature from -20…80 °C (display range) with resolution of 0.2 °C and accuracy of ± 2.5 K (Q > 5 l/min), allowing combined flow and temperature diagnostics from a single device.

• Two configurable PNP/NPN switching outputs – Two digital outputs (200 mA each, programmable as normally open or normally closed) with max. voltage drop of 2 V, plus integrated pulsed short‑circuit and overload protection for reliable signal transmission.

• Scalable analogue output (4‑20 mA / 0‑10 V) – One analogue output (4…20 mA scalable, max. load 500 Ω) or voltage output (0…10 V scalable, min. load 2000 Ω), enabling seamless integration into PLCs, SCADA, and process control systems.

• Integrated totaliser and pulse output – Built‑in consumption counter (totaliser) with pulse output (0.00001…100 000 m³ per pulse, pulse length 0.0025…2 s) enables accurate batch control and consumption monitoring.

• IO‑Link V1.1 communication – IO‑Link interface (COM2, 38.4 kBaud) with minimum cycle time of 6 ms enables remote parameterisation, process data readout (flow rate, totalised consumption, temperature), and extended diagnostics, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.

• 4‑digit LED display with intuitive push‑button operation – Clearly visible 4‑digit red LED display shows current flow rate or temperature, and allows on‑site parameterisation (switch points, analogue scaling, pulse value, etc.) without external tools.

• Robust stainless steel housing with IP65/IP67 rating – 316L stainless steel wetted parts and gold‑plated contacts resist corrosion, while the IP65/IP67 enclosure ensures reliable operation in dusty or washdown environments.
