• Always observe the direction of the flow when installing the sensor. The direction is indicated on the housing. • Do not exceed the maximum operation temperature at the sensors tip. • Avoid condensation on the sensor element as this will affect the accuracy enormously. S450...
• Avoid direct UV and solar radiation during storage. • For the storage the humidity must be <90% with no condensation. 2 Registered trademarks SUTO ® Registered trademark of SUTO iTEC MODBUS ® Registered trademark of the Modbus Organization, Hopkinton, USA HART ®...
3 Application 3 Application The S450 flow sensor is designed for the explosive areas and is mainly used to measure compressed air and process gases in industrial environments. The S450 can measure the following parameters for the compressed air or gases: •...

• To calculate flow ranges based on pipe and reference conditions in your site, download and install the "Flow range calculator" tool for free from http://www.suto-itec.com. • To fast access the tool download page, enter "flowrange" (without spaces) in the search field, and click the tool in the search result.
• Pay careful attention to the design of the inlet and outlet sections. Obstructions can cause counter-flow turbulence as well as turbulence in the direction of the flow. • It is strongly recommend not to install S450 permanently in wet environment which exists usually right after a compressor outlet. S450...
If it is not possible to observe the indicated equalizing sections, deviations in measuring results have to be expected. Remark: If there is any combination of below situations, the longest straight inlet section must be maintained. • Expansion • Reduction • 90° Bend • 2×90° Bend S450...

9 Signal outputs 9 Signal outputs 9.1 Analog and pulse outputs If the S450 is purchased with the output option of analog and pulse signals, it provides 2 analog outputs and 1 pulse output. All signals are electrically isolated. 9.1.1 Analog output The analog output can be used as an active output (current is sourced through the positive connection pin) or passive output.
The Modbus communication requires to activate terminal resistors at the last device on the bus system. If the S450 is the last device on the bus system, the DIP switches on the connector board should be set to “ON”...
