The application specifications include the installation, start-up and service requirements specified by the manufacturer. The model KAL-D flow monitor is used to monitor the flow of liquids. Limit value / output To monitor the flow of liquids in pipes, the device is fitted with a PNP transistor switch (NPN optionally available).
5. Operating Principle The operation of the model KAL-D electronic switch monitor is based on the calorimetric principle. The sensor tip is heated to a few degrees above the temperature of the flowing liquid. When the liquid is flowing, the heat generated in the sensor is transferred to the liquid, i.e.
Make sure the the supply voltage of your system is the same as that specified on the device nameplate. Connect the KAL-D according to following wiring diagram. Switch on the operating voltage of 24 V ±...
In the standard operating mode, the DUAL LED is constantly illuminated. Bi- Setup mode display If an adjustment (zero or span) is being performed, the DUAL LED blinks green. Error message display In the event of an error message, the DUAL LED blinks red. KAL-D K03/0516 page 7...

Should a fault occur, this will be indicated by a red blinking light at the DUAL LED and the LED bargraph display. In this event, contact the KOBOLD service department. 12. Maintenance This device is maintenance-free. The sensor tip should be checked for the presence of mineral deposits (lime, etc.) and cleaned if necessary.
