Setting instructions
Setting with flow off
1. Install the sensor in the flow duct and switch on the
appliance. Wait for ready state.
2. Carry out the potentiometer adjustment so that the red
LED lights up.
3. When the medium begins to flow, at least one green
LED should light up.
Setting with flow on
1. Install the sensor in the flow duct and subject it to flow.
Switch on the appliance. Wait for ready state.
2. Carry out the potentiometer adjustment so that two
green LEDs light up.
3. If the flow is interrupted, the red LED should light up.
Setting for flow below threshold
This adjustment is only possible if the flow rate lies within
the measuring range of the chosen sensor.
1. Install the sensor in the flow duct and switch on the
appliance. Apply the specified flow. Wait for ready
state.
2. Set the potentiometer so that the red LED just lights
up.
3. When the flow increases, the red LED is extinguished,
the yellow LED lights up and the sensor switches.
Setting for flow higher than threshold
This adjustment is only possible if the flow rate lies within
the measuring range of the chosen sensor.
1. Install the sensor in the flow duct and switch on the
appliance. Apply the specified flow. Wait for ready
state.
2. Set the potentiometer so that the first green LED lights
up.
3. If the flow rate decreases the green LED will extinguish
first, then the yellow LED then the relay drops out and
the red LED will light up.
The switch point for flow velocity is set at the switching
amplifiers SKZ… and SKM… with two potentiometers for
coarse and fine adjustment. If the flow velocities are
higher than the detection limit of the connected sensor,
flow failure or reduction will be displayed once the medi-
um flow velocity has dropped back within the sensor
detection range.
Time delay and limit temperature of medium
Desired values can be set by means of a potentiometer
located on the switching amplifier.
Values are indicated on a scale for SKZ... models. All other
models have a 20 step setting potentiometer. Turning
clockwise increases time or temperature values.
If the set time lag has not yet elapsed, the yellow LED
will remain alight, even though the red LED indicates flow
failure.
Analog output
The SKM 420 GA supplies a current intensity which
depends on the flow speed. The output current range is
defined from 4 mA to 20 mA. The dependence between
flow speed and output current is non-linear. The detection
range is adjusted over two potentiometers: “Range ( )
and “Compensation” ( ). The lowest value (>4 mA, 1.
green LED) is set with the “Compensation” potentiometer
at the smallest flow speed to be monitoring and the high-
est value (20 mA, 5. green LED) is set with the “Range”
potentiometer at the highest flow speed to be monitored.
The graph shows the characteristic lines obtained with the
different settings.
Red:
Flow has been interrupted or the flow rate
has fallen below the specified value. The
"flow" relay has dropped out.
Yellow:
The set flow rate has been reached, the
"flow" relay pulls in.
Green:
The set flow rate has been exceeded. There
is extra flow capacity.
Red:
The set temperature value is reached and the
"temperature" relay has pulled in.
Yellow and Red:
Flow is below the set value. "Flow" relay
remains pulled in until the set switch-off
delay runs out.
