● Simple and economical flow meter for piping diameters from 32 mm to 150 mm
● Made from plastic (optionally stainless steel)
● With tapping sleeve fixing for very rapid installation Retro-fitting also easily possible
● 0..10 V , 4..20 mA
Characteristics
The flow meter consists of a spinner which is rotated by the flow speed. The rotational speed is proportional to the flow rate. The rotational speed can be recorded using various sensor systems, depending on the different materials for the housing. With plastic housings, there are no magnets in the flow space.
Handling and operation
Installation
The flow meters are inserted in probe form in a tapping sleeve, and are marked with the correct insertion depth. The installation direction of the probe is lengthways to the spinner, and is indicated with arrows on the front of the flow meter. An angular deviation of ±3 ° has no effect on the measurement.
The sensor must be installed with run-in and run-out sections of 10 x D of the pipe diameter, in order to prevent vortices and turbulence.
The best installation position (low contamination, good venting) is with the direction of flow from bottom to top, or in horizontal piping with the sensor at an angle of 45 ° downwards. The union nut must be tightened to a torque of 30 Nm.
Note
The metering range end value can be programmed by the user via "teaching". Requirement for programmability must be stated when ordering, otherwise the device cannot be programmed. The ECI-1 device configurator with associated software is available as a convenient option for programming all parameters by PC, and for adjustment.
