Function and features

The flow monitor detects the flow velocity in liquid and gaseous media switches the output relay according to the programming,
normally open normally closed relay energised when the switch point has been reached relay de-energised when the switch point has been reached

(for programming page 26) and indicates the relative flow value within the adjustable detection range by means of LEDs: - LED 0 = lower limit of the detection range (maximum value / LO) - LED 9 = upper limit of the detection range (minimum value / HI) It is also possible to indicate: - Switching status (LED red: flow below the switch point, LED orange: flow has reached the switch point). - Excess flow: LED 9 flashes if the flow is considerably higher (2 LEDs) than the display range. - Underflow / flow standstill: LED 0 flashes if the flow is lower than the display range.

Installation
The unit is adaptable for various process fittings (adapters to be ordered separately as accessories). In the case of horizontal pipes mount the unit from the side, if possible (fig. 1). When the unit is to be mounted at the bottom of the pipe, it should be free from deposits. When the unit is to be mounted at the top of the pipe, it should be completely filled with the medium to be monitored. In the case of vertical pipes mount the unit in a place where the medium flows upwards (fig. 2).

To avoid malfunction a minimum distance between the flow monitor and bends, valves, changes in cross-section or such like must be observed: Min. 5 x pipe diameter upstream (A), min. 3 x pipe diameter downstream (B).

1. Lubricate the nut (3) and all threads with grease to ensure the nut can be loosened and tightened several times. Note: No grease must be applied to the sensor tip (A). 2. Screw the suitable adapter (2) onto the process fitting (1). 3. Insert the flow monitor into the adapter. While keeping the unit aligned tighten the nut (3); (max. tightening torque 50 Nm). Insertion depth of the sensor: min. 12 mm in the pipe. When the adapters are used which are available as accessories, the correct depth is ensured. Note: The sensor tip must not touch the pipe wall.

Electrical connection
The unit must only be connected by an electrician. The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be observed. Caution: For the output circuit the same protective measures as for the supply circuit must be taken. The permissible potential difference between supply and output circuit is max. 300 V. Disconnect power before connecting the unit. Wiring:
1 2 3 VDD 4 5 relay circuit safe separation 1 2 3 5 connector view (sensor) 4 n.c. L1 N supply voltage

ifm-sockets are available as accessories: Order no. E11248, E11249, E11250, E11251. When the supply voltage is applied, all LEDs light and go off one after the other.* The unit is then ready for operation.
*During this time the output relay is energised.

Programming
I Setting of the detection range ( page 30) Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required maximum flow rate. Press the Learn/Set button for 6-8 s (= adjustment to maximum flow / upper limit of the detection range). This setting is sufficient for the majority of waterbased applications. Optional: adjustment to minimum flow. Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required minimum flow rate or bring flow to a standstill. Press the Learn/Set button for 11-15 s (= adjustment to minimum flow or flow standstill / lower limit of the detection range). I Setting of the switch point ( page 32) Press the Mode/Enter button briefly. Press the Learn/Set button for 5 s, keep the Learn/Set button pressed or press the button several times until the requested switch point is set. Press the Mode/Enter button briefly. I Manual adjustment to maximum flow (HI-Teach) ( page 33) Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required maximmum flow rate. Press the Mode/Enter button twice. Press the Learn/Set button for 5 s, release the button when LED bar fills from left to right. Press the Mode/Enter button briefly, when LED 9 is lit. I Manual adjustment to maximum flow (HI-Teach) / monitoring excess flow ( page 34) Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required maximmum flow rate. Press the Mode/Enter button twice. Press the Learn/Set button for 5 s, release the button when LED bar fills from left to right.

I Manual adjustment to minimum flow (LO-Teach) ( page 35) Allow the medium to flow through the system at the required minimum flow rate or bring flow to a standstill. Press the Mode/Enter button three times. Press the Learn/Set button for 5 s, release the button when LED bar fills from right to left. Press the Mode/Enter button briefly, when LED 0 is lit. I Change output function: (normally open / normally closed) ( page 36) Press the Mode/Enter button four times. Press the Learn/Set button for 5 s, keep the Learn/Set button pressed or press the button several times until the requested function is set (OUT = normally open when 3 LEDs on the right and 3 LEDs left are lit green. OUT = normally closed, when the 4 LEDs in the middle are lit in red). Press the Mode/Enter button briefly. I The following applies to all setting procedures: If no button is pressed for 20 s during the setting procedure, the unit returns to the operating mode with the parameter values unchanged. If adjustment has not been possible, all the red LEDs flash. The unit returns to the operating mode with the parameter values unchanged. I Locking / Unlocking The unit can be electronically locked to prevent unwanted adjustment of the set parameters: Press both setting buttons for 10 s (the unit must be in Run mode). Indication goes out briefly (acknowledgement of locking / unlocking). Units are delivered from the factory in the unlocked state. If the unit is locked, it is possible to indicate the current switch point (press the Mode/Enter button once) and the programming of the output relay (press the Mode/Enter button 2 times).

Installation and set-up / Operation / Maintenance

After mounting, wiring and setting check whether the unit operates correctly. When the supply voltage is applied, all LEDs light and go off one after the other.* The unit is then ready for operation.
*During this time the output is switched according to the programming: relay energised with the NO function and de-energised with the NC function.

Recommended maintenance Check the sensor tip for build-up from time to time. Clean it with a soft cloth. If necessary, build-up which adheres firmly (e.g. lime) can be removed with a common vinegar cleansing agent.

I Setting of the detection range The detection range (window) is determined by: Adjustment to the required maximum flow (HI-Teach) = upper limit of the window. This setting is sufficient for the majority of waterbased applications. Adjustment to the required minimum flow / flow standstill (LO-Teach) = lower limit of the window.

I Manual adjustment to maximum flow (HI-Teach) / monitoring excess flow The unit detects the current flow and sets this value as the maximum value for the LED display (LED 9). In addition the position of the display window within the detection range can be defined: Shift the LED for the maximum display value to position 8, 7, 6 or 5. In the case of maximum flow all LEDs from 0 up to this LED are lit. The LEDs above the range signal excess flow. If the switch point is above this range, the unit switches in the case of excess flow.

Hysteresis function
flow maximum flow switch point (SP) hysteresis

minimum flow
OUT OUT 1 0 1 0

When the flow rises, the output switches when the switch point (SP) has been reached. When the flow falls again, the output switches back when the value "SP minus hysteresis" has been reached. The hysteresis is considerably influenced by the choice of the operating range on the sensitivity curve of the sensor: In the case of adjustment to HI-Flow values in the range 0 ... 60cm/s the hysteresis is 2 - 4 cm/s (values apply to water). In the case of adjustment to HI-Flow values above 100 cm/s the hysteresis increases as the flow rises. The typical response time of the unit is 3 ... 8 s. It can be influenced by setting the LO-Teach and the switch point: The lower the LO-Teach or the switch point is set, the faster the unit switches on. The higher the LO-Teach or switch point is set, the faster the unit switches off.
