2 SAFETY INFORMATION
2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The T-Easic® is a ow sensor for liquids (dened in “11 Technical data”) that operates
on the basis of the calorimetric measurement principle. It converts the ow rate and
temperature of the medium into an electrical signal.
The information of the ow rate and the medium temperature of the liquid are shown
on the OLED display (industrial version only). The ow and temperature information is
available over IO-Link, too. Two switching outputs can be set for both ow and tempera-
ture control.
The sensor fullls the requirements of EN 61326-2-3 for industrial environments.
2.2 Improper use
This sensor does not constitute a safety component according to the EC Machinery
Directive (2006/42/EC).
The sensor must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas.
It is not permitted to open the T-Easic
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specications and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be improper use.

housing.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by this document, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
If the sensor is to be used under other conditions or in dierent environments, the manufacturer’s service department may issue an operating license in consultation with the
customer and in exceptional cases.
2.3 Limitation of liability
Applicable standards and regulations, the latest technological developments and
our many years of knowledge and experience have all been taken into account when
assembling the data and information contained in these operating instructions. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by:
• Failing to observe the operating instructions
• Improper use
• Use by untrained personnel
• Unauthorized conversions
• Technical modications
• Use of unauthorized spare parts, consumables, and accessories
With special versions, where optional extras have been ordered, or owing to the latest
technical changes, the actual scope of delivery may vary from the features and illustra-
tions shown here.
2.4 Modications and conversions
IMPORTANT
Modications and conversions to the sensor and/or the installation may result in unforeseeable dangers.

is not a safety component under the EU Machinery Directive.
• Observe national safety and work safety regulations.
• Wiring work and the opening and closing of electrical connections may only be
carried out when the power is switched o.
• The sensor must be not power supplied if not installed in the pipe system as described in “5 Mounting”.
• The radiated power is far lower than that from telecommunication equipment.
According to current scientic research, the operation of this device can be classied as safe and non-hazardous.
• The sensor has been designed according to the Pressure Equipment Directive
Article 3 Paragraph 3 according to good engineering practice.

aqueous media, oil, etc.).
The measurement method is based on the calorimetric principle. The sensor measures
the cooling eect of the owing liquid on the heated measuring probe. The higher the
ow velocity of the liquid, the higher the cooling eect of the heated probe.
The sensor has two congurable switching outputs (Q1 and Q2) for ow or temperature.
Q2 can be selected as digital input.
The switching output Q1 also features an IO-Link interface; see “7.2.4 IO-Link”.

4 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
4 Transport and storage
4.1 Transport
For your own safety, read and observe the following notes:
IMPORTANT
Damage to the sensor due to improper transport.
• The device must be packaged for transport with protection against shock and damp.
• Recommendation: Use the original packaging as it provides the best protection.
• Transport should be performed by specialist sta only.
• The utmost care and attention is required at all times during unloading and transpor-
tation on company premises.
• Note the symbols on the packaging.
• Do not remove packaging until immediately before starting installation work.
4.2 Transport inspection
Immediately upon receipt in goods-in, check the delivery for completeness and for any
damage that may have occurred in transit. In the case of transit damage that is visible
externally, proceed as follows:
4.3 Storage
• Do not accept the delivery or only do so conditionally.
• Note the scope of damage on the transport documents or on the transport company's delivery note.
• File a complaint.
Note:
Complaints regarding defects should be led as soon as these are detected. Damage
claims are only valid before the applicable complaint deadlines.
Store the device under the following conditions:
• Recommendation: Use the original packaging.
• Do not store outdoors.
• Store in a dry area that is protected from dust.
• Do not store in an airtight container: this is so that any residual moisture present
can escape.
• Do not expose to any aggressive substances.
• Protect from sunlight.
• Avoid mechanical shocks.

5.1 Installation conditions
When installing the sensor the system must be not pressurised and the pipe where the
sensor has to be installed must be empty.
The inserted probe must be always completely surrounded by the medium. A minimum
insertion depth of ≥ 12 mm should be observed.
The cutting ring of the process connection adapter must be ≥ 25 mm away from the
probe tip to avoid damage to the sensing element.
The sensor probe should be positioned in the centre of the pipe and it must not be in
contact with the pipe wall.
A minimum distance of ≥ 10 mm from the tip to the pipe wall must be observed.

The sensor should be installed at least 5 ... 10xDN in front of and 3 ... 5xDN behind
valves, T-pieces, curves or cross-sectional alterations.
Installation in the standpipe is recommended for vertically installed pipes. The sensor
must not be mounted before or in a downpipe or in an open downpipe.
Horizontal mounting from the bottom is only possible if the pipe is free from build-up.

5.3 Mounting the sensor
1. Stop the ow.
2. Depressurize the system.
3. Empty the pipe where the sensor has to be installed.
4. Install the process connection adapter on the sensor (see “5.4 Mounting the pro-
cess connection adapter”).
5. Seal the process connection to the pipe.
6. At the mounting point, screw the ow switch in hand-tight.
7. Tighten with a at spanner.
IMPORTANT
Leaking
• For sealing the process connection to the pipe the operating pressure must be considered while choosing the correct sealing method.
5.4 Mounting the process connection adapter
It is strictly recommended to use only original adapters from SICK. The adapters are not
included and have to be ordered separately.
5MOUNTING
See “14 Accessories” for more detailed information about the process connection
adapters.
1. Insert the probe of the sensor into the pipe tting.
2. Hand-tighten the union nut until the probe no longer turns by hand or can no lon-
ger be moved axially in the tting.
3. Mark the union nut at the 6 o'clock position.
4. Hold the tting body with a wrench and tighten the union nut to the 9 o'clock posi-
tion with 1 1/4 turns.
Fig. 6: Mounting the process connector adapter on the sensor probe
For a hygienic solution the adapter must be installed in the same way on the sensor
probe as described above and then assembled to the hygienic clamp adapter p/n
