    Proper Usage The flowmeters of the DS11 series are used to monitor the continuous flow of liquids and gases. Any other use of the instrument is prohibited and outside the scope of application. Unless otherwise stated, the scales of the devices refer to air at 1.2 bar abs. At 20 °C or water.
  • Page 3: Functional Description

    Qualified Personnel The DS11 devices may only be installed by trained, qualified personnel who are able to mount the devices correctly. Qualified personnel are persons, who are familiar with assembling, installation, placing in service and operating these devices and who are suit- ably trained and qualified.

    For switching performance and electrical data refer to section "Technical data". Electrical connections: Connection of limit switch - 2-wire NAMUR (standard): 1 Lower limit switch to terminal 1 2 Upper limit switch to terminal 2 The connection box includes an EMC filter unit.

  • Page 5 When connecting to an EMC filter, the ground terminal must be connected to the back rail of the flowmeter. Connection of limit switch - 3-wire (transistor): bn - brown: supply voltage + bk - black: switch bu - blue: supply voltage - DS11 Instruction manual 11/2021 page 5...
  • Page 6 The EMC filter unit and the back rail of the meter must be galvanically connected and grounded. An isolation switching amplifier with intrinsically safe circuit controls is necessary to operate the NAMUR limit switches. DS11 Instruction manual 11/2021 page 6...
  • Page 7 For the proper initialisation after power up, the bistable NAMUR limit switch should pass through each of 1 and 2 once. 3-wire limit switch, transistor Independent of the float position and passage 2: signal ≤1 V Prerequisite: the float is outside the limit switch.
