3 Intended use
The unit monitors liquid media (water, glycol solutions, industrial oils, coolants).
It detects the volume flow (flow rate/time) and outputs an analogue signal that is proportional to the
process value.
ATTENTION
Frost formation of the medium.
wThe sensor may be damaged.
uEnsure that the medium in the sensor does not freeze during operation and transport.

4 Function
The unit detects the flow according to the principle of differential pressure by means of a permanent
magnet and a measuring cell.
4.1 Analogue output
I [mA]
20
4
0
MEW Q [l/min]0
Fig.1: Analogue output (water 20
°C)
The analogue signal for water is linear from 4 mA (= no flow) to 20 mA
(= final value of the measuring range, VMR).
If the measured value is above the final value of the measuring range, a
current signal of > 20 mA is output.

5 Mounting
CAUTION
During installation or in case of a fault (e.g. housing damage) media under high pressure or
hot media can leak from the system.
wRisk of injury caused by pressure or burns.
uEnsure that the system is free of pressure during installation.
uEnsure that no media can leak at the mounting location during installation.
uEquip the unit with suitable protection (e.g. cover) to avoid hazard to personnel from
leaking media.
5.1 Process connection
uAvoid major changes of cross section on the inlet side.
uFit the unit in the pipe in accordance with the flow direction (arrow) and tighten at the spanner flats.
Do not clamp the housing in a vice.

Fig.2: Process connection
IN: Inlet
OUT: Outlet
Loosening the socket head screw (1) and moving the cap do not change the setting of the
sensor. However, moving the cap may be useful to read the label.
Calming sections on the sensor's inlet or outlet side are not necessary.
The sensor can also prevent backflow.
5.2 Interference
uThe following minimum distances must be adhered to:
Distance between the sensor and ferromagnetic materials ≥30mm*
Distance between the sensor and constant / alternating fields ≥500mm
Distance between the sensor axes for side-by-side installation ≥50mm
* The pipe may consist of ferromagnetic material.

5.4 Installation in case of water containing dirt
uUse a 200-micron filter in front of the inlet (IN).
uInstall sensor horizontally.
uAdhere to the inclination angle to the horizontal axis:
± 90°
± 5°
Fig.4: Alignment in case of water containing dirt
In clean medium, installation in vertical pipes is also possible.

7 Troubleshooting
If there are dirt particles between the float and the housing the display value of the sensor does not
return to zero in case of flow standstill. In case of contamination the display value can be up to 30 % of
the final value of the measuring range.
uClean the device.
