Characteristics
A turbine acts as the primary sensor; its rotational speed is proportional to the flow rate. The rotational speed is detected by means of a biased Hall sensors, i.e. there are no magnets in the flow space.
The FLEX transducer located on the sensor has an analog output (4..20 mA or 0..10 V) and a switching output, which can be configured as a limit switch for monitoring minimal or maximal, or as a frequency output.
The switching output is designed as a push-pull driver, and can therefore be used both as a PNP or an NPN output. The state of the switching output is signalled with a yellow LED in the switching outlet; the LED has all-round visibility. The sensor is configured in the factory, or alternatively this can be done with the aid of the optionally available ECI-1 device configurator (USB interface for PC). A selectable parameter can be modified on the device, with the aid of the magnet clip provided. In this case, the current measured value is saved as the parameter value. Examples of these parameters are the switching value or the metering range end value.
The stainless steel electronics housing is rotatable, so it is possible to orient the cable outlet after installation.
Handling and operation
Installation
As with all flow meters, if possible the turbine should be installed ahead of a valve (on the pressure side).
