• 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 S418 permanently in the wet environment which exists usually right after a compressor outlet.
8 Installation 8.2 LED indicators The S418 provides four LED indicators on the display panel, which indicate the status of the data logger, display, and Bluetooth connection separately. Function Status Indicator for the logger state On: NAND flash is formatting.
5 m cable with a M8 connector on one side and open wires on the other side. To operate the S418, one cable connection is sufficient. However if the pulse output is to be used or the supply and signal should be on separate cables, a second connection cable must be ordered.
The sensor outputs one pulse per a consumption unit. This pulse output can be connected to an external pulse counter to count the total consumption. The number of m per second are summed up and indicated after one second. Pulse length depends on flow rate. S418...
