Measuring ranges Inlet / Outlet runs In order to maintain the accuracy stipulated in the data sheets, the sensor must be inserted in the center of a straight pip e section with an undisturbed flow progression. An undisturbed flow progression is achieved if the sections in front of the sensor (inlet) and behind the sensor (outlet) are sufficiently long, straight and without any obstructions such as edges, seams, curves etc.
Electrical wiring 10 Electrical wiring 10.1 Cable glands – clamping range For ensuring the tightness and strain relief, connector cables with the following diameters must be used. VX 570 Standard clamping range : Ø 5- 9mm 10.2 Connector pin assignment V+ V- A(+) B(-)

Status / Error messages 12.1 Status messages • CS Instruments GmbH & Co.KG recommends a regular re-calibration, see chapter 13. This means that the date at which the next recalibration is recommended is entered internally on delivery. When this date is reached, the status message "Cal" is displayed.
Status- / Error messages 12.2 Error messages • Low Voltage If the supply voltage is lower than 11V, the warning message "Low Voltage" is displayed. This means that the sensor can no longer work / measure properly and therefore no measured values for measured values for flow rate, consumption, speed, pressure and temperature are available.
Re-Calibration If no customer specifications have been made, we recommend a calibration interval of 12 months. The sensor must be sent to CS Instruments for this purpose. Spare parts and repair Spare parts are not available for reasons of measuring accuracy.
