2. Note

Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit

into operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein.

The instruction manuals on our website www.kobold.com are always for currently

manufactured version of our products. Due to technical changes, the instruction

manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you

have purchased. If you need an instruction manual that corresponds to the

code on the device or via www.kobold.com

The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar

with these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations

applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.

When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the

machines fulfil the EC-machine guidelines.

as per PED 2014/68/EU

In acc. with Article 4 Paragraph (3), "Sound Engineering Practice", of the

PED 2014/68/EU no CE mark.

3. Instrument Inspection

Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.

Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of

the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /

forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during

transit.

Scope of delivery:

The standard delivery includes:

 Float Flow Meter / Monitor Model: SWK

SWK

page 4 SWK K12/0224

4. Regulation Use

These units, type SWK, are used for the purpose of measuring and monitoring

liquid flow. Only clean, low-viscous and homogeneous liquids may be measured

which do not chemically attack the materials used in the construction of these

units. An attempt to measure high-viscous liquids may lead to considerable

measurement errors.

Large dirt-particles can cause the blockage of float and subsequently turn on

error indications. Also, ferrite particles, which deposit on float (with embedded

magnets), can generate the same effect (we recommend a magnet-filter).

These units are configured in the following manner:

 Housing made of Brass, St. Steel or PVC

 Attached reed contact N/O with 1m PVC cable (Brass version)

 Attached reed contact N/O with 2m PVC cable (PVC/VA version)

 Attached and aligned pointer display (option)

5. Operating Principle

KOBOLD Flow Meter/Monitor of type SWK operates according to the well-known

float principle, however without making use of the generally employed extended

measuring tube. Inside a cylindrical flow-tube a float with aperture moves in the

direction of the flow against the recoiling force of a spring. Within the float, a pair

of magnets is located which trigger a potential-free protective-gas reed contact

and drives a pointer display. The reed contact is mounted on the exterior of the

flow-housing. The springs arrangement allows the unit to be operated without

consideration to mounting position and keeps the installation dimensions to a

minimum. Flow monitors of type SWK generally find application where small

volume flow needs to be measured in a fail-safe manner.

6. Mechanical Connection

Before installation:

 Make sure that the permitted maximum operating pressure and the operating

temperature of the device are not exceeded.

 Make sure that the electrical supply for the devices corresponds with the

operational data of the device.

 Make sure that no remains of packing material exist within the device.

 The devices should not be installed within an inductive field.

 If possible, it should be checked, after the mechanical installation whether the

connection joints/ piping is properly sealed.

Attention! A displacement of switching range occurs if the flow takes

place from top to bottom.

7. Electrical Connection

Attention! Make sure that the voltage values of your system

correspond with the voltage values of the measuring unit, mentioned

on type-label.

 Make sure that the supply wires are de-energized.

 The connection of the bistable reed contact succeeds is accomplished through

the cable on the contact housing. The potential-free contact closes on rising

level above the adjusted flow value.

8. Operation / Configuration / Adjustments

The commissioning of these units is prohibited in machines (as long as the

guidelines 2006/42/EC remain enforced), which do not comply with these

guidelines.

The unit is supplied in 'ready for operation' condition. The switching point is

adjusted on the lowest scale value.

8.1 Adjustment of Limit-Value (SWK-1...)

 Loosen the knurled nut on the reed contact.

 Adjust the marking on the contact for the desired value on the scale. In once

positioned the knurled nut should be tightly screwed.

8.2 Adjustment of Limit-Value (SWK-2...)

 Loosen the knurled nut on the reed contact.

 Connect a suitable continuity-tester on cable ends.

 Case 1: On an installed unit

 Open the supply line, and let the flow-medium enter slowly, till the pointer

display shows the desired flow value- at which the rising flow should operate

the switch (the value for the decreasing flow lies below due to the hysteresis).

 Case 2: On an uninstalled unit the adjustment may be performed by lifting

the float with a suitable tool.

 Switch-housing is repositioned from top to bottom, till the reed contact just

closes (electrical continuity). In this position, secure the contact by tightening

the knurled nut.

The unit is now adjusted and ready for operation.

On correct adjustment, the limit-value contact performs bistable action. That

means, even after on crossing above the adjusted limit-values, the contact

remains closed.

Hysteresis

Hysteresis is an indication of difference between switch-on (rising float) and

switch-off (falling float) points of a contact. The average hysteresis corresponds

to a float-centre movement of about 3 mm.

9. Maintenance

As long as the medium to be measured is not contaminated, the device SWK is

almost maintenance-free. With lime or such depositions within inner sections

the device should be cleaned regularly.

Attention! Before the commencement of maintenance work, make sure

that the supply wires are de-energized.

13. Disposal

Note!

 Avoid environmental damage caused by media-contaminated parts

 Dispose of the device and packaging in an environmentally friendly

manner

 Comply with applicable national and international disposal regulations and

environmental regulations.

Batteries

Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a sign consisting of a crossed-out

garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg, Li or Pb) of the heavy metal that

is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants:

Cd1 Hg2 Pb3 Li4

1. „Cd" stands for cadmium

2. „Hg" stands for mercury

3. „Pb" stands for lead

4. „Li" stands for lithium
