M&C TechGroup FA1-H Datasheet

FA2-H, 2 x F01, K-FA-H, FA-1.1

Embracing Challenge

Optical ow monitoring series FA®

Version FA1-H-.. for temperatures up to 180 °C
with 2 light guides for monostable functioning

Special Features

Easy mounting of the sensor head at the



ow meter without dismounting the
measuring glass

Also applicable for very low ow quanti-



ties

Also suitable for non-metallic or very



small oating balls

Easy adjustment of any MIN alarm set-



point

Application

The optical flow monitoring unit with light
guides is used in gas analysis on heated
flowmeters with temperatures > 60 °C. The
measuring cones must be transparent.

Thanks to optical scanning, very low flow
quantities can be recorded even in case of
flowmeters with non-metallic or very small (1
mm) floats.

Description

The M&C flow monitoring unit FA1-H-.. con­sists of 4 sub-assembly modules:

1. the patented sensor head FA2-H,

2. the 2 light guides FO.. for monostable
function

3. the K-FA-H pre-amplifier

4. the electronic controller FA-1.1 or
FA-1.4**

– ** see data sheet FA-.., K-FA 9.5 –

The LED emitters’ light beam passes through
the FO .. light guides and falls upon the
photo-transistor through the FM1-H
flowmeter measuring glass. As soon as the
float breaks the light beam, the photo-tran­sistor is blacked out. The FA-1.. electronic con­troller analyses this changed status accord­ingly.

By the monostable version a MIN alarm func­tion in the lowest sensor setting position is
guaranteed.

obligation, subject to modications. 12.97/11.06

The sensor head FA2-H is assembled on the
FM1-H flowmeter by means of a pressure
screw with its stationary open prism to the
measuring glass. Assembly is simple and does
not require any disassembly of the flow­measuring glass.

The FO1 light guide is supplied with a stand­ard length of 600 mm. Light guide FO3 (900
mm long) and FO2 (1200 mm long) can be
supplied for greater length requirements.

The angled light-guide ends are fixed into the
FA2-H sensor head with one pressure screw
each. Two light-guides are needed for the
monostable function.

By use of the pre-amplifier K-FA-H a distance
of 200 meters between the flow meter and
the electronic controller FA-1.. (see 9.5) is pos­sible without problems.
