Operating Instructions 4. Regulation Use Any use of the Plastic Flow Meter, model: KSK, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification, may invalidate its warranty. Therefore any resulting damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.
5. Operating Principle Kobold Plastic Flow Meters and Switches, model KSK, are based on the well known suspended float principle. They are used for measuring and monitoring flows in closed pipes. The media flows, from below, through a conical plastic measuring tube. This raises the float and the flow rate can be read off against scale.
Attention! The stated electrical parameters of the contact may not be exceeded, even for a short period of time. For inductive or capacitive loads, we recommend the use of contact protection measures respectively the application of a contact protection relay. KSK K03/0316 page 5...
After connecting the external devices, and adjusting the switch housing to the desired switch points, all the connection work is completed. The unit is ready for operation. page 6 KSK K03/0316...
9. Maintenance If the medium to be measured is clean, the series KSK is virtually maintenance- free. If deposits form on the inner housing or parts, periodic cleaning of the unit is recommended. Remove the units from the piping with a suitable tool; clean the flow meter with a suitable cleaning agent or make use of an ultrasonic bath.
