• To calculate flow ranges based on pipe sizes and reference conditions in your site, download and install the free "Flow range calculator" tool from http://www.suto-itec.com. To fast access the tool download page, enter "flowrange" (without spaces) in the search field.
• The sensor is for indoor use only! At an outdoor installation, the sensor must be protected from solar radiation and rain. • It is strongly recommended not to install S421 permanently in a wet environment such as the place right after a compressor outlet.

8 Determining the installation point The S421 sensor comes with a measuring section and a straight inlet section. Nevertheless, additional straight inlet sections must be added to the measuring section to meet the minimum inlet requirements. Please refer to the installation types below and select your additional inlet section 'LA' from the table.

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, you can set the pulse to 1 pulse per 10 consumption units or 1 pulse per 100 consumption units, using the S4C-FS service App (S4C-FS) or a connected display.
