Function and features

The flow sensor

• detects the flow velocity in liquid media,
- converts it into an analog output signal (4 ... 20mA),
- and indicates the relative flow value within the adjustable detection range by means of LEDs:

• LED 0 = lower limit of the detection range (maximum value / LO)
• LED 9 = upper limit of the detection range (minimum value / HI)

- It is also possible to indicate:

• Excess flow: LED 9 flashes if the flow is considerably higher (2 LEDs) than the display range; output current > 20mA.
• Underflow / flow standstill: LED 0 flashes if the flow is lower than the display range.

The output signal corresponds to the characteristic curve of the sensor. Like the row of LEDs it indicates the relative flow velocity within the detection range set. Internally the signal change between LO and HI is divided into 10 parts and displayed by the row of 10 LEDs and the current output.

Installation

The unit is adaptable for various process fittings (adapters to be ordered separately as accessories).

- In the case of horizontal pipes mount the unit from the side, if possible (fig. 1).

When the unit is to be mounted at the bottom of the pipe, it should be free from deposits.

When the unit is to be mounted at the top of the pipe, it should be completely filled with the medium to be monitored.

- In the case of vertical pipes mount the unit in a place where the medium flows upwards (fig. 2).

To avoid malfunction a minimum distance between the flow monitor and bends, valves, changes in cross-section or such like must be observed:

• Min. 5 x pipe diameter upstream (A).
• Min. 3 x pipe diameter downstream (B).

3 B min. 3 x D min. 5 x D A D

①2 3 thread M18 x 1.5

1. Lubricate the nut (3) and all threads with grease to ensure the nut can be loosened and tightened several times.
   Note: No grease must be applied to the sensor tip (A).
2. Screw the suitable adapter (2) onto the process fitting (1).
3. Insert the flow monitor into the adapter. While keeping the unit aligned tighten the nut (3); (max. tightening torque 50Nm).

Insertion depth of the sensor: min. 12mm in the pipe. When the adapters are used which are available as accessories, the correct depth is ensured.

Note: The sensor tip must not touch the pipe wall.

n.c. = not connected

When the supply voltage is applied, all LEDs light and go off one after the other.* The unit is then ready for operation.

*During this time the output signal is 20mA.

If the operating voltage is too low, the output signal passes to 0mA.

Programming

■Setting of the detection range HI-Teach

• Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required maximum flow rate.
• Press the Learn/Set button for >5...<10s (= adjustment to maximum flow / upper limit of the detection range).

Optional: LO-Teach

The HI-Teach is sufficient for the majority of waterbased applications. Optional: adjustment to minimum flow.

• Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required minimum flow rate or bring flow to a standstill.
• Press the Learn/Set button for >10...< 15s (= adjustment to minimum flow or flow standstill / lower limit of the detection range).

■ Monitoring excess flow

• Press the Mode/Enter button once.
• Press the Learn/Set button for 5s, release the button when LED flashes.
• Press the Learn/Set button several times to shift the LED for the maximum display value.
• Press the Mode/Enter button briefly.

■ Reset to factory settings

- Press the Learn/Set button for >15...<20s.

■The following applies to all setting procedures:

• If no button is pressed for 15s during the setting procedure, the unit returns to the operating mode with the parameter values unchanged.
• If adjustment has not been possible, all the red LEDs flash. The unit returns to the operating mode with the parameter values unchanged.

■Locking / Unlocking

The unit can be electronically locked to prevent unwanted adjustment of the set parameters: Press both setting buttons for 10s (the unit must be in Run mode). Indication goes out briefly (acknowledgement of locking / unlocking).

Units are delivered from the factory in the unlocked state.

With the unit in the locked state indication goes out brief when you press the Mode/Enter button.

Installation and set-up / Operation / Maintenance

When the supply voltage is applied, all LEDs light and go off one after the other.* The unit is then ready for operation.

*During this time the output signal is 20mA.

Check the sensor tip for build-up from time to time. Clean it with a soft cloth. If necessary, build-up which adheres firmly (e.g. lime) can be removed with a common vinegar cleansing agent.

Programming diagrams / Technical information

■Setting of the detection range

The detection range (window) is determined by:

• Adjustment to the required maximum flow (HI-Teach) = upper limit of the window. This setting is sufficient for the majority of waterbased applications.
• Adjustment to the required minimum flow / flow standstill (LO-Teach) = lower limit of the window.

- Adjustment to maximum flow (HI-Teach)

The unit detects the current flow and sets this value as the maximum value for the LED display (LED 9).

1	Apply the operating voltage. After approx. 15s the unit is ready.Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required maximum flow rate.
2			Press the Learn/Set button and keep it pressed.The green LEDs on the right and on the left flash,after 5s the LED bar (green) fills from left to right(release the button as soon as the first LEDs light).The indication goes off briefly.The unit stores the current flow as maximum flow and passes into the operating mode.
	>5...<10s

- Adjustment to minimum flow / flow standstill (LO-Teach), optional

The unit detects the current flow and sets this value as the minimum display value for the LED display. In normal operation the first green LED (LED 0) flashes when the flow falls below this value (or when it comes to a standstill).

NOTE: The LO-Teach operation may only be carried out after the HI-Teach operation.

1	Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required minimum flow rate or bring to a standstill.
2		Press the Learn/Set button and keep it pressed.The green LEDs on the right and on the left flash,after 5s the LED bar (green) fills from left to right
		after a further 5s the LED bar (gren) fills from right to left (release the button as soon as the first LEDs on the right light).
		The indication goes off briefly.The unit stores the current flow as minimum flow and passes into the operating mode.

■Monitoring excess flow

With this function the position of the display window within the detection range can be defined: Shift the LED for the maximum display value to position 8, 7, 6 or 5. In the case of maximum flow all LEDs from 0 up to this LED are lit. The LEDs above the range signal excess flow. If the switch point is above this range, the unit switches in the case of excess flow.

The output signal indicates the maximum flow and excess flow. The output current for maximum flow/excess flow depends on the position to which the LED for the maximum display value has been shifted.

LED for maximum value	output signal for maximum flow [mA]	output signal for excess flow [mA]
LED 5	12.0 ... 13.6 13.6 . . 20
LED 6	13.6 ... 15.2 15.2 . . 20
LED 7	15.2 ... 16.8 16.8 . . 20
LED 8 18.4 ... 20	16.8 ... 18.4

Setting:

1		Press the Mode/Enter button once. The current setting is indicated (green LED).
2		Press the Learn/Set button for 5s (until LED flashes).
3		Press the Learn/Set button several times until the requested LED flashes (LED 8, 7, 6 or 5). Each time the button is pressed the LED moves back by one position. When it is lower than LED 5 the cycle starts again at LED 9.
4		Press the Mode/Enter button briefly (acknowledgement). The indication goes off briefly. The unit stores the new setting and passes into the run mode.

Please note:
The display value is reset (to LED 9) after each maximum flow rate adjustment (HI-Teach).
