    4. Regulation Use The KOBOLD KAL-A.. Flow Meter is intended for use in measuring moderate flow rates of low-viscous or dirty liquids. The KOBOLD KAL-AK.. Flow Meter is intended for use in measuring and monitoring moderate flow rates of low-viscous or dirty liquids.
  • Page 4: Operating Principle

    Attention! The flow ranges specified in the table above have been calculated for each pipe diameter based on the known velocity range of the KAL-A(K). It must be noted that flow in pipes is non- uniform across the pipe cross section, and approaches zero at the pipe wall.

    Prior to installation  Ensure that the actual system flow rate the is within the measuring range of the KAL-A(K).  Ensure that the maximum system temperature and pressure are within the limits specified per section (see section 12. Technical Information)
  • Page 6  If the flow rate has reached the set point value selected by the user, then the LED is flashing. Bi-coloured LED (KAL-A)  If bi-coloured LED is green: Instrument is in operation mode.  If bi-coloured LED is flashing green: Instrument is in calibration mode.
  • Page 7 The output selector switch is used to select between the output logic NPN and PNP. This adjustment is factory-made and needs not to be changed anymore under normal conditions. Output selector switch right: NPN-output Output selector switch left: PNP-output KAL-A(K) K05/1116 Page 7...

    The reference point for the NPN-output is +24 VDC PNP-output The semiconductor output switches to +24 VDC or is highly resistant. The maximum output current is 400 mA. The reference point for the PNP-output is GND (GROUND = 0 VDC). Page 8 KAL-A(K) K05/1116...

     When the bi-coloured LED stops flashing, the zero flow calibration is set. The device now switches automatically to the monitoring mode and displays no flow. The LED strip is not illuminated; only the threshold value LED is flashing. KAL-A(K) K05/1116 Page 9...

The flow is constantly monitored and the actual value of the flow speed is displayed on the LED strip. Page 10 KAL-A(K) K05/1116...

    (calcination etc.) and if necessary be cleaned. 11. Diagnostics The KAL-A(K) continuously self monitors the sensing probe and the micro- processor system upon short-circuit and circuit breaking. Any fault in these parts of the electronics will be signalled by a flashing red bi-coloured LED and a simultaneous flashing LED-bar ( ...
