Programmable flow sensor

The compact flow sensor SS500020 is a thermal flow sensor that detects the flow velocity and temperature (0...80°C) of water-based media in pipes. Due to the parameterizable pipe diameter (15-250mm) and the applied flow rate, the calculated display value is shown in l/min, m³/h, m/s or °C on the 3-digit display. The easy-to-read display can be adjusted to the desired installation position and can be rotated through 180°.

The sensor impresses above all with its fast reaction time (<1s) and high insensitivity to temperature fluctuations. To monitor the flow status and temperature, the sensor has a choice of two digital outputs (PNP/NPN-NO/NC + pulse) or one analog output (4-20mA), which can be individually programmed. The sensor also has a teach-in input, for example for quick adjustment in multi-substance operation.

The sensor can also be parameterized via IO-Link. Not only can settings be made on the device (hysteresis or window function, etc.) via the interface, but process data (min. / max. / mean value memory) can also be read out. The analysis of such data can, for example, be used for the targeted optimization of processes. To prevent unintentional or unauthorized parameterization, individual functions of the device can be locked using an access code.

Three different adapters with different process connections are available for installation:

G1/4" AS000012

G1/2" AS000013

G1/2" AS000014

The flow sensor with protection class IP67 is pressure-proof up to a maximum of 60 bar. The connection is made via a 4-pin M12-connector.
