1 Safety instructions
1.1 General
Please check whether this manual corresponds with the device type.
Please attend to all notes indicated in this instruction manual. It contains essential information
which has to be followed during installation, operation and maintenance. Therefore,
this
instruction manual has to be read categorically by the technic
ian as well as by the responsible
user/qualified personnel before installation, initiation and maintenance.
This instruction manual has to be available at any t im e at t he operation site of the DS 400.
Regional and national regulations respectively, have to be observed in addition to this instruction
manual if necessary.
In case of any obscurities or questions with regard t o this manual or the instrument please conta ct
CS Instruments GmbH.
Warning!
Inadmissible operating parameters!
Undercutting and
exceeding respectively of limit values may cause danger to persons
and material and may lead to functional and operational disturbances.
Measures:
• Make sure that the DS 400 is only operated within the admissible limit values indicated on the
type label.
• Strict observance of the performance data of the DS 400 in connection with the application.
• Do not exceed the admissible storage and transportation temperature.
Further safety instructions:
• Attention should also be paid to the applicable national regulations and safety instructions during
installation and operation.
• The use of the DS 400 in explosiv e/hazardous areas is not allowed.
Additional remarks:
• Do not overheat the instrument!
• Change of battery and SD-Card are onl y allowed to be carried out by authorized qualifi ed personnel
and in strain less state
Attention!
Malfunctions at the DS 400!
Faulty installation and insufficient maintenance may lead to malfunctions of the DS
400
which may affect the measuring results and which may lead to misinterpretations.
Safety Instructions
DS 400 V1.31 Page 7 of 119
1.2 Installation
Warning!
Supply voltage!
Contact with supply voltage carrying non-
insulated parts may cause an electric shock
with injury and death.
Measures:
• Note all applicable regulati ons for electrical installations (e.g. VDE 0100)!
• Carry out maintenance o n ly in strain less state!
• All electric works are only a l l owed to be carried out by authorized qualified personnel.
Danger!
Missing earth connection!
When the earth connection (protective earth) is missing, there is the
risk in the event of malfunction, that contactable, conductive
components may carry supply voltage. Touching of such parts leads
to an electric shock with injuries and death.
It is imperative to connect the plant to earth or to connect
the
protective conductor accord
ing to the regulations.
Do not use plug adapters at the power plug.
Have the power plug replaced by qualified skilled persons,
if required.
Safety Instructions
DS 400 V1.31 Page 8 of 119
The plug of the power supply cord is used as a separator. This s eparator must be clearly recognizable
and easily accessible by the user. A plug connector with a CE E 7/7 system is necessary.
All the electrical lines carrying supply voltage or another voltage that is dangerous in the case of contact (power supply cord, alarm and indicator relay s), must additionally be equipped with double or
reinforced insulation (EN 61010-1). This can be e nsured by using plastic-sheathed cables, a second
insulation (e.g. flexible insulating tubing), or co rrespondingly suitable lines with reinforced insul ation.
The connecting cables can be equipped, for example, with flexible insulating tubing.
The additional flexible insulating tubing must with st and the electrical and mechanical stresses that can
occur during the intended use (see EN 61010-1, Clause 6.7.2.2.1).
DANGER!
Supply voltage!
When wiring the connecting lead, it must be ensured that the double or
reinforced insulation be-tween the electric circuits that are dangerous in the
case of contact and the contactable secondary cir cuit remains maintained.
NOTE!
The additional insulation must be suitable for a test voltage of 1500 V
alternating current.
The thickness of the insulation must be at least 0.016 inch.
E.g. flexible insulating tubing, type BIS 85 (Bierther GmbH).
The additional insulation of the connecting leads (mains connection, alarm and indicator relay s) can
be implemented as follows:
3 2 1
(1) - Terminals (connectors)
(2) – Flexible insulating tubing for the connecting leads
(3) – Connecting cable

àDS400 automatically scales the analogue output 4…20 mA to the
respective values for m³/h, m³/min and so on.
à Reference temperature and reference pr essure (factory setting 20 °C, 1000 hPa):
àAll volume flow values (m³/h) and consumption values indicated in the display are
related to 20 °C, 1000 hPa (according to ISO 1217 i ntake condition)
à 0 °C and 1013 hPa (=standard cubic meter) can also be entered as a reference.
à Do not enter the operation pressure or t he operation temperature under refer enc e
conditions!
Please read carefully before startin g the device!
1. Do not exceed pressure range > 50 bar
2. Observe flow direction of the sensor
3. Adapter sleeve must be tightened with a torque
of 20-30 Nm
4. Observe minimum values for the inlet s ection
(15 x inner diameter) and for the outlet section
(5 x inner diameter)
For further information please see instruction manual VA 400.

4 Application area
Our long-term hands-on experience in measurement and control technology was implemented in the
new DS 400.
From recording of the measured data, automatic sensor identification, indication on a big colour
screen, alerting, storage up to remote read-out via web server, all that is possible with DS 400. By
means of the CS-Soft, software a larms can be s ent vi a SM S or e-mail.
On the big 3.5' colour screen with touch panel, all information is available at a glance.
The operation is very easy. All measured values, measured curves and threshold exceeding’s are
indicated. The progression of the curve, since the beginning of the meas urement, can be viewed by
an easy slide of the finger.
The huge difference to ordinary paperless chart recorders reveals in the easy initiation as well as in
the evaluation of the measured data. All sensors are identified directly and powered by DS 400.
Everything is matched and tuned.

DANGER!
Supply voltage!
When wiring the connecting lead, it must be ensured that the double or
reinforced insulation be-tween the electric circuits that are dangerous in the
case of contact and the contactable secondary cir cuit remains maintained.
NOTE!
The additional insulation must be suitable for a test voltage of 1500 V
alternating current.
The thickness of the insulation must be at least 0.016 inch.
E.g. flexible insulating tubing, type BIS 85 (Bierther GmbH).
The additional insulation of the connecting lead s (mains connection, alarm and indicator relays) can
be implemented as follows:
3 2 1
(1) - Terminals (connectors)
(2) – Flexible insulating tubing for the connecting leads
(3) – Connecting cable
NC and COM are connected at:
- alarm
- power failure
- sensor break

Important:
The IP addresses of PC and DS 400 must be statically assigned (DHCP o ff) and have to be
in the same network.
If the IP-address of the DS 400 has changed, you have to reboot!
Remark:
IP-address of the DS 400: See chapter, 13.2.3.3
Network-Settings
Reboot the DS 400: See chapter, 13.2.3.7.6 Factory-Reset
The DS 400 can be connected with the PC by a crossover cable, which has a RJ45 plug on each side,
or an Ethernet cable with a crossover adapter.
Crossover-Cable with RJ45-plug
After connecting the DS 400 via a suitable cable to the P C, you can make graphical and tabular data

Byte Order:
The size of each Modbus-register is 2 Byte. For a 32 bit value two Modbus register will be read out by
the DS400. Accordingly for a 16bit Value only one register is read.
In the Modbus Specification, the sequence of the transmitted bytes is not defined clearly. To cover all
possible cases, the byte sequence in the DS400 is adj ust able and must adapted to the respective
sensor. Please consult here for the sensor datasheet .
e.g.: High byte before Low Byte, High Word before Low Word etc
Therefore, the settings have to be made in accordance t o the sensor data sheet.
The measurement values are kept in the
registers of the sensor and can be
addressed via Modbus and read by the
DS400
.
This requires setting the desired register
addresses in the DS400.
Entering the register / data address is here
