Operating Instructions
A text area at the top is (big bar) 2-Spaltig, so the text extends upwards!
Then adjust the transparent beams according to and while holding the
8 mm distance from text.
I think this means that, if you need to add more lines of text, extend the big
bar upwards, while maintaining the proper distance from the text.
The lower pane (smal bar, Dokuklasse) must be only single-column!
Image should come behind the bar so that
the transparency comes to the fore.
Do not change the transparency of the bar!

Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
for the specific task
in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified
personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding
potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

SITRANS AS100 is an acoustic sensor for flow detection. It monitors high frequency acoustic
emissions (sound waves) generated by:
● the friction and impact of solids flow in pipes, chutes, and conveyors
● cavitation occurring in pumps, pipes, and valves
● turbulence of gases or liquids leaking through valves and flanges
● friction and jarring of mechanical parts
Acoustic emissions travel readily through solid materials such as metal, but are strongly
attenuated when traveling through air. As such, the Sensor is immune to airborne interferences
and provides a non-invasive method of monitoring process activities.
The sensor can be configured electrically during wiring to operate in either low or high sensitivity
range mode. The high sensitivity range applies where highest signal levels vary up to 40 dB. The
low sensitivity range applies where highest signal levels vary between 28 and 68 dB.
SITRANS AS100 Sensor provides an analog output for use with the Sitrans Control Unit. The
Sensor may be operated independently from the Control Unit by providing an external supply.
The output is fed into a control panel, chart recorder, data logger, or programmable logic
controller with a suitable input.
SITRANS AS100 Sensor is primarily used for solids flow detection. However, this device can be
used in pump cavitation and fluid leak detection, provided sufficient noise levels are generated.
The SITRANS AS100 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual
This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications
● non-invasive
● screw in, bolt on, weld, or bond in place
● analog output
● high and low sensitivity range of operation
