The series DS25 flow meter devices should not be deployed as the sole agents to prevent dangerous conditions occurring in plant or machinery. Machinery and plant need to be designed in such a manner that faulty conditions and malfunctions do not arise that could pose a safety risk for operators.

Electrical Connection Please regard the drawings on the following pages. On the rear of the DS25 are two cable glands for round cables with a diameter of 6 to 9 mm • Unused glands must be closed with a blind plug M16x1.5.

Units with a nominal voltage of 24 V may only be connected to a protected low voltage • circuit (SELV-E according to VDE0100/VDE 0106 or IEC 364/IEC 536). The DS25 indicator housing must be grounded to ensure electromagnetic interference • protection. This can be done by grounding the pipeline.

If the state of operation changes, it might become necessary to establish a new scale. This depends on several factors: If the DS25 is operated in the given viscosity independent range, only the density of the float • as well as the operational density of the previous and new substance have to be considered.
The terminals for the limit switches are on a small board on top of the transmitter case. Use of 2 standard limit switches: The MIN-MIN and MAX-MAX functions have been integrated at the factory as MIN-MAX switches in the DS25. The MIN-MIN or MAX-MAX function is set by adjusting the switching direction of the transmitter relay.
Page 13
To adjust the switching points, loosen set screws 1 and 2 and move them in the guide rail. The small red pointers (Limit switch MAX and Limit switch MIN) indicate the set value on the scale. DS25 Instruction Manual 08/2018 page 13...
The set of the 20 mA point is shown on the scale. The flow cut off is positioned at 5 % of the end value. Below 5 % flow the current output shows 0 mA (4 mA). DS25 Instruction Manual 08/2018 page 14...

If the adjusting range does not suffice, change to display F32 or F33 by pressing ENTER when display shows F32 31 or F33 31, press ENTER again and continue adjusting at F32 00 or F33 00. DS25 Instruction Manual 08/2018 page 23...
F32 or F33. WARNING: Since PKP doesn’t have any influence on the custom-designed connection the current output is not automatically adapted, if the connection is changed from 2 wire to 3 wire or vice versa . This must be manually carried out with the functions F32 and F33.
Calculate the new of flow rate to mm (on scale) relation based on original manufacturers calibration certificate. b) Place the DS25 (with the measuring tube) horizontally on a table (Note: the distance to any ferromagnetic parts must be at least higher than 25 cm!).

In these cases the following steps have to be performed: a) Place the DS25 in line with the master meter in an installation allowing controlled flow with the process fluid at process conditions in a flow range from 5 % to 105 % of the expected flow range.

This value gets stored and will not be lost after power off / on the DS25 or after switching off / on the Float-Move-Detection-function. The stored value is typed over first after a renewed autozero.

If the plant has an extremely quiet flow (gases or liquids) ,the supervision range can be limited in the lower flow range. Normally greater flow (> 30 %) causes greater medium flow deviations. The duration of the supervision can be put to 15 minutes to reach a longer supervision time. DS25 Instruction Manual 08/2018 page 33...

Measuring tube, float The DS25 is maintenance-free. If contamination of the measuring tube impairs the mobility of the float, the tube and the float have to be cleaned. To do this, the DS25 has to be removed from the pipe.
