Characteristics
The calorimetric sensor measures the flow speed in aqueous fluids. The display shows the measured value in a range from 0..100 % as a digital value and as a bar graph. The measured value is output as a 0/4..20 mA value. Both the 0/4 mA and the 20 mA value can be programmed via a scaling of the display range, and so the sensor can be adapted to any flow speed lying within the overall range. Measurement is supported in terms of temperature compensation and signal processing (linearistion, interpolation, amplification) by the use of a microcontroller
Because a conclusion on the whole cross-section is drawn based on a point measurement in a pipe, the accuracy achievable is not so good as with a flow sensor in a permanently installed tube (OMNI-FIN or FLEX-FIN).
By turning the programming ring to right or left, it is simple to modify the parameters (e.g. switching point, hysteresis...). To protect from unintended programming, it can be removed, turned through 180 °, and replaced, or completely removed, thus acting as a key
