Flow sensor : TS-FK12
Construction
- Full transmitter in 12mm housing!
- One transmitter type for different piping sizes
- Output signal proportional to media flow rate
- 4…20mA; 0…10V; frequency output; switch or pulse output available
- Adjustable working range
- User configuration by connection pin (teach-in)
- Simplest handling
Description
The sensor TS-FK12 is designed for monitoring of non-viscous liquids; monitoring of gaseous media upon request. The sensor and its entire electronics are mounted into a compact size sensor housing of 12 mm diameter equipped with M12x1 round plug connector. Calorimetric signal temperature compensation and linearization are adopted by the built-in 16-bit processor. (Flowing media heat transfer measuring at the sensor tip)
The TS-FK12 electronics outputs the measuring result as:
Analog 0/4…20mA signal (TS-FK12-I)
Analog 0/2…10V signal (TS-FK12-U)
Frequency signal (TS-FK12-F)
Switch signal (TS-FK12-S)
Flow signal pulse/ x litre (TS-FK12-C)
The range value can be adjusted by “teach-in” on pending flow upon wishing so.
Handling
The measuring range / switching value (TS-FK12-S) can be user set by “teach-in” as described below:
- Set the flow to the maximum flow rate
- Apply a pulse of at least 0.5 sec. and max. 2 sec. to pin 2 (e.g. by installing a bridge to auxiliary voltage or via a pulse from the SPS control) to accept the measured final value
- LED flashes during programming process; in normal mode this LED indicates operation voltage
- After teach-in, pin 2 should be connected to 0 V in order to avoid unintentional programming Attention: The programming function must be stated when ordering; otherwise a non-programmable type will be supplied.
