General

The flow sensor in stainless steel 1.4571 is suitable for lightly contamina a

lso aggressive media provided the material is compatible. Flows in gaseous media can also be monitored with this sensor

Medium temperature 0…80 Higher medium temperatures (up to 120°C) may cause a deviat but cannot damage the sensor.

Temperature compensation up to 80°C

he flow in fluids can be monitored reliably with flow sensors SWF 62 and SWF 62 L and evaluation unit ASW 454.

he sensitivity can be adjusted accurately with a rough and fine potentiometer. The switching state is indicated by LED. The sensor element must be located in the flow.

Function

The flow monitors work according to the calorimetric principle. A thermistor is heated up. As heat is withdrawn by the flowing medium, the thermistor resistance alters. The change in resistance is evaluated. As the resistance also depends on the temperature of the medium, the difference must be

mined by a second thermistor. The difference is compensated and in this way the switching point

deter is kept stable. When monitoring high flow rates, rapid temperature fluctuations can trigger switching operations. Suspended materials adhering to the sensor can have an insulating effect and so affect the measur

ement result and hence the defined switching point. Therefore it is advisable to remove any

dirt during routine maintenance operations.

Sensitivity (rough and fine)

In case of malfunction, a sensor error can be ruled out by checking the resistances between the connecting wires of the sensor SWF62L must be disconnected and checked with a suitable ohmmeter between the individual connecting wires:

White-bro White-green approx. 1.0 kOhm White-yellowapprox. 1.0 kOhm

The terminal voltage of the evalua ASW 454/24 can also be checked with a voltmeter between the terminals after disconnecting the sensor.

14.8 VDC is the correct value.
