. Other units can be set by the optional display or the service kit. The S421 flow sensor is not developed to be used in explosive areas. For the use in explosive areas please contact the manufacturer. The S421 flow sensor is mainly used in compressed air systems in industrial environment.

• The sensor is for indoor use only! At an outdoor installation, the sensor must be protected from solar radiation and rain. • It is strongly recommend not to install S421 permanently in wet environment as it exists usually right after a compressor outlet.
Note: If there is any combination of the below, the longest straight inlet section must be maintained. The S421 sensor comes with its own measuring section and a straight inlet section, nevertheless additional straight inlet sections must be added to measuring sections to fulfill the minimum inlet requirements.
A1321 ... A1328 (Flange, EN-1092-1) A1341 ... A1348 (Flange, ANSI 16.5) The S421 is always shipped with mounted measurement section. Please make sure that the sensor is installed correctly to the flow direction in the tube. For this observe the flow direction indicated on the housing, it must match the flow direction of the compressed air or gas.
• The re-installation of the measurement device is simple as the sensor unit fits into the pipe section only in one position. • Please make sure that the o- ring is inserted. • Close the terminal nut tightly to mount the sensor correctly. S421...

The sensor sends out one pulse per consumption unit. This pulse output can be connected to an external pulse counter to count the total consumption. The number of m per second is summed up and indicated after one second. Pulse length depends on flow rate. S421...

10 Sensor signal outputs If the flow rate is too high, the S421 cannot output the pulses with default settings (one pulse per consumption unit). In this case, the pulse can be set by our service software or a connected display to 1 pulse per 10 consumption units or 1 pulse per 100 consumption units.
