4. Operating Principle KOBOLD rotating vane flow meters series DRG are used for measuring and monitoring low viscosity liquids. Series DRG flow meters are working according the well known rotating vane principle. A magnet fitted in the vane and hermetically sealed from the medium transfers the rotary motion of the vane to a Hall-effect sensor mounted in the housing.
5. Instrument Inspection These devices are checked before dispatch and sent away in perfect condition. Should the damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of the delivery packing. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service/ forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during transit.
7. Electrical Connection 7.1. General Attention! Please ensure that the voltage levels of your system are in agreement with that of the flow meter. Make sure that the electric supply lines are de-energized. Connect the power supply and output signal on the plug-pins as shown below. ...

11. Maintenance If the medium to be measured is not contaminated, the measuring unit is maintenance-free. In order to avoid problems, we recommend installation of a filter, such as magnet filter, model MFR. Should cleaning of sensor be deemed necessary, the sensor may be opened and inner parts may be accessed.
