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.koboldusa.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 purchased product version, you can request it from us

free of charge by email (info.@koboldusa.com) in PDF format, specifying the

relevant invoice number and serial number. If you wish, the operating

instructions can also be sent to you by post in paper form against an applicable

postage fee.

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:

Plastic Flow Meter model: KSK

4. Regulation Use

Any use of the Plastic Flow Meter, model: KSK, which exceeds the

manufacturer’s specification, may invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting

damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk

for such usage.

5. Operating Principle

Kobold Plastic Flow Meters and Switches, model KSK, are based on the well-

known suspended float principle.

They are used for measuring and monitoring flows in closed pipes.

The media flows, from below, through a conical plastic measuring tube. This

raises the float and the flow rate can be read off against scale. The instruments

can be fitted with bistable switches.

Special advantages

Shock resistant and corrosion-resistant

May be inserted/removed radially

Special scales available

Short installation length

Plastic float and fitting generally made of PVDF

6. Mechanical Connection

Before Installation:

Remove all transportation safety locks and ensure that no packing material

remains within the unit.

Be sure that the maximum allowable operating pressure and temperature is

not exceeded (see Technical Data).

Install the flow meter in the piping system, ensure the instrument is under no

mechanical stress/tension (install support bracing if necessary).

Protect the measuring tube from external damage.

Avoid pressure peaks in the measuring tube, e.g. from sudden surges or

stoppage of flow.

The units with bistable reed switch may not be installed within an inductive

field.

If possible, immediately after making mechanical connections, check whether

the connections are properly sealed with no evidence of leakage

(see section 8 Operation).

Detailed information regarding installation of float flow meters is

available in VDI/VDE guidelines 3513.

7. Electrical Connection

7.1. Reed Contact, bistable (option)

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

Loosen the plug-cap holding screw and remove the cap from the switch

housing.

Connect the supply lines inside the plug in accordance with the connection

diagram opposite.

If the set point has not yet been adjusted, it may be done at this point. (see

section 8. Operation).

Set the plug to the socket and fix it with the safety screws.

Attention! The stated electrical parameters of the contact may not

be exceeded, even for a short period of time. For inductive or

capacitive loads, we recommend the use of contact protection

measures respectively the application of a contact protection relay.

7.2. Electronic Contact (option)

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

Loosen the plug-cap holding screw and remove the cap from the switch

housing.

Connect the supply lines inside the plug-in accordance with the connection

diagram opposite.

If the set point has not yet been adjusted, it may be done at this point. (see

section 8. Operation).

Set the plug to the socket and fix it with the safety screws.

Attention! The stated electrical parameters of the contact may not

be exceeded. For inductive or capacitive loads, we recommend the

use of contact protection measures respectively the application of a

contact protection relay.

After connecting the external devices, and adjusting the switch housing to the

desired switch points, all the connection work is completed. The unit is ready for

operation.

8. Operation

In order to initialise the bistable switching function, it is essential

that the float activates the contact once in each direction.

Adjustment of limit-values

The switch-point can be adjusted to the desired levels by using both red sliders

as reference points.

Reference edge for falling flow: bottom-edge, switch housing

Reference edge for rising flow: approx. 5 mm above the bottom-edge of switch

housing.

Slide the switch housing up or down until the reference edge coincides with the

desired switch-point scale reading.

Hysteresis

Hysteresis is the difference between the level at which “switch-on” occurs during

rising flow and the level at which “switch-off” occurs during decreasing flow. The

hysteresis is approximately 5 mm on the float range.

Overranging

With non-pulsating flow, the maximum flow rate can be exceeded. Only an

increase in pressure loss will result (max. permissible operating pressure must

not be exceeded!)

9. Maintenance

If the medium to be measured is clean, the series KSK is virtually maintenance-

free. If deposits form on the inner housing or parts, periodic cleaning of the unit is

recommended. Remove the units from the piping with a suitable tool; clean the

flow meter with a suitable cleaning agent or make use of an ultrasonic bath.
