Compressed Air

Safety

Any contact with quickly escaping air

or bursting parts of the compressed

air system can lead to serious injuries

or even death.

•Do not exceed the maximum

permitted pressure.

•Only use pressure rated

installation materials and

parts.

•Avoid getting hit by escaping

air or bursting parts.

•The system must be

pressure-less during

maintenance work.

Electrical Safety

Any contact with energised parts of

the product, may lead to an electrical

shock which can lead to serious

injuries or even death. The user shall

take all measures necessary to protect

against electrical shock.

Consider all regulations for electrical

installations.

The system must be disconnected

from any power supply during

maintenance work.

Any electrical work on the system is

only allowed by authorised qualified

personal.

Storage and transportation

•Make sure that the

transportation temperature

of the sensor is between -

10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F).

•Please make sure that the

storage temperature of the

sensor is between -10°C to

50°C (14°F to 122°F) and the

humidity is <90%, no

condensation. Avoid direct UV

and solar radiation during

storage.

Cleaning

If you need to clean the sensor it is

recommended to use a clean, dry

cloth. For stubborn marks, use

distilled water or isopropyl alcohol

only.

Please note: contamination on the

sensor tip will affect calibration and

accuracy of the sensor. Removal of the

contamination may not fix the issue.

Disposal

Electronic devices are recyclable

material and do not belong in the

household waste. The product,

accessories and its packing material

must be disposed according to local

statutory requirements.

About Flow Meters

Flow meters are very popular for

measuring compressed air and gas

systems. They can provide real time

information to help keep your system

under control and highlight any

unusual activity.

Benefits of monitoring flow include:

•Improve system efficiency

•Reduce system maintenance

•Reduce operating and energy

costs

•Increase system

understanding and operation

•Identify changes in system

performance

•Identify non-productive air

demand and leakage

•Identify peak and average

demand

Types of Flow Meters

There are a variety of flow meter

technologies including thermal mass,

pitot tube, vortex and venturi. In

compressed air and gas systems it is

important to avoid creating pressure

drops or restrictions that will decrease

system performance and increase

operating costs. Examples of flow

meters that cause pressure drops are

differential pressure plate and venturi

meters.

Vortex Meters

Vortex meters are widely used in

industrial processes, manufacturing,

chemical, petrochemical, power

engineering, etc.

The Vortex flow meter is perfectly

suited for measuring flow and

consumption of inert gases and

steam, no matter how heavily

contaminated.

With built-in pressure and

temperature sensors, all parameters

of your gas or steam system are

monitored in one unit, saving you

install and maintenance costs.

Key features of the Vortex Flow Meter:

•No moving parts, making it both

durable and easy to maintain.

•Ultra-high sensitivity vortex probe

•Turndown ratio well beyond

traditional Vortex flowmeters

•Full digital signal processing for

higher precision and better

stability

•Full electrical isolation to filter out

disturbances

•Vibration resistant

•All-welded construction for

corrosion, high pressure and

temperature resistance

•Integrated display
