CS Instruments is not liable for errors which may have slipped into this operating manual. The CS flow meter VA 452 works based on the thermal mass flow Area of principle and is to be used for measuring the mass flow of gases.
Observe permissible storage, transport and operating tempera- tures. • VA 452 for use in hazardous areas are labeled accordingly on the nameplate. Relevant national regulations must be ob- served when operating the device in hazardous areas. Ob- serve the installation regulations, connection data and safety instructions provided in the Ex documentation must be ob- served.

Cable outer diameter should be between 6 and 8 mm • Single wire cross section area should be between 0.25 … 0.75 mm • The thread size for the cable glands is M20 / 1.5 Connection diagram 0970 0042 VA 452 English, V1.9, 13.08.13...
DS 300 has 2 inputs (I and G) for flow / dew point sensors. If there are more than 1 VA 452 to be connected to DS 300 a sepa- rate power supply has to be used for at least one of the VA 452, since DS 300 can only supply one VA 452 flow sensor.
Flow sensor VA 452 VA 452 in the standard configuration comes with 2 analogue outputs Connecting and 1 pulse output. All signals are electrically isolated. The analogue analogue / output can be used as an active output—current is sourced through pulse outputs the positive connection pin—or passive.
2 sec. Software: 1.31 Software and hardware version Hardware: 1.20 2 sec. VA 452 will then show the actual online values of flow and total consumption. 1345.6 After reset the sensor has a warm-up 12345670 time of about 20 seconds., during this time the flow rate is zero.
Flow sensor VA 452 In order to fully utilize ethe functionality of VA 452 a configuration is Configuration required. There are various paramters which need to be set in the flow meter. The table below gives an overview about the available settings.
Bluetooth provides a convenient way of configuring the sensor with- out the hazel of cable connections. VA 452 needs to be powered up. Ensure that the distance between VA 452 and PC is no more that 5 meter and the PC Bluetooth antenna should point roughly in the direction of the display (front part).
3377 Volumetric flow is stated at 1000 hPa and 20 ° C VA 452 can measure from zero flow onwards, the stated minimum flow is only required for achieving the specification. Flow rates above the maximum flow can not be measured.
Max rating: 30 VDC, 200 mA output Pulse width: 10 … 100 msec (depending on flow rate) Bluetooth Communication Distance: < 3m (depend on environment) Device name: VA 452 + s/n (Can be edited) 0970 0042 VA 452 English, V1.9, 13.08.13...
