4 Intended use

The device monitors the flow and temperature in liquid and gaseous media.

5 Function

• The unit detects flow based on the calorimetric measuring principle.
• As additional process value the unit detects the medium temperature.

The device generates two output signals:

• OUT1: switching signal for flow rate
• OUT2: switching signal for temperature

5.1 Flow monitoring

The device detects flow based on the calorimetric measuring principle and switches the output OUT1.

With the factory default setting, the switch point is at LED 7.

The device's output is set to a normally open contact by default and can be switched to a normally closed contact.

The switch point LED indicates the switching status:

• LED orange = output closed.
• LED red = output open.

Normal operation

With normal flow, the output has the following status:

• Output closed for normally open function.
• Output open for normally closed function.

Fig. 1: Flow ≥ SP / normally open function

Fig. 2: Flow ≥ SP / normally closed function

Deviation from normal operation

If the flow velocity decreases, the switching status changes when the value falls below the switch point SP minus the hysteresis.

Fig. 3: Flow < SP / normally open function

Fig. 4: Flow < SP / normally closed function

The hysteresis changes with the flow velocity and it is essentially influenced by the set monitoring range. It is 2...5 cm/s for the setting 5...100 cm/s (= factory setting), it increases with higher flow velocities.

The typical response time of the device is 1 ... 10 s. It can be influenced by the setting of the switch point:

• Low switch point = quick reaction with rising flow.
  • High switch point = quick reaction with falling flow.

5.2 Temperature monitoring

The device detects the current medium temperature and switches output OUT2.

The device's output is set to a normally open contact by default and can be switched to a normally closed contact.

In operating mode, the display indicates the flow rate. Press the ▶ button briefly to switch the device to the temperature display ➞ 14.

The switch point LED indicates the switching status:

• LED orange = output closed
• LED red = output open

The output OUT2 switches when the temperature exceeds the set switch point SP2. At factory setting (normally open function), the following applies:

• Output closed when medium temperature is ≥ SP2
• Output open when medium temperature is < SP2

5.3 IO-Link
