Page 7: Function
2. Function The AirFlow P is a volumetric flow meter specially designed for dusty applications. The sensor technology is based on the electrodynamic measuring principle. Every particle that flies past the antenna within a radius of 300 mm generates an electrical signal. The signals from the two antennas are further processed in the sensor‘s electronics box. -
Page 8: Safety
The measuring system may only be installed in metallic pipes to measure the medium passing • through them. It is not suitable for any other use or measuring system modifications. Only genuine spare parts and accessories from ENVEA Process may be used. • 3.2 Identification of hazards Possible dangers when using the measuring system are highlighted in the operating instructions with •... - Page 9 If the device is operated under high pressured conditions, there is a risk of explosion. When cleaning • or blowing out the pipe and when transporting material, always ensure that the permissible pressure according to the DGRL is not exceeded. Due to the process, hot components on the device can cause burns.

In applications where the mounting location requirements cannot be fully met, the best possible mounting position should be selected. The AirFlow P should be installed so that the two antennas of the sensor are aligned with the material flow. 2. In horizontal pipes with a round cross-section, the AirFlow P can be installed in any position above the horizontal axis (between 9 and 3 o‘clock). -
