Foreword These Installation and Operating Instructions are applicable to devices of series KLA. Please follow all instructions and information given for installation, operation, inspection and maintenance. The Instructions form a component part of the device and should be kept in an appropriate place accessible to the personnel in the vicinity of the location.
Intended use The KLA Series device is a flap-type VA flow meter for fluids. It is designed for installation in horizontal or vertical pipe runs. In vertical pipe runs, flow through the device must be from below. Installation in the pipeline may only be carried out in accordance with these Instructions.
In accordance with the law concerning handling of waste (critical waste) and the hazardous materials directive (general duty to protect), we would point out that all flow meters returned to Kirchner und Tochter for repair are required to be free from any and all hazardous substances (alkaline solutions, acids, solvents etc.).
In vertical pipe runs, flow must be from bottom to top. Make sure the pipes are correctly spaced and in true alignment at the installation location for the flow meter. For connection of the KLA device, fit the open ends of the pipeline at the installation point with flanges appropriate to the flow meter.
The scale faces upwards/downwards. Figure 2 Installation KLA For mounting, provide the connection flanges of the KLA with suitable flat gaskets. The gaskets are not included with the flow meter. Before installing, remove the transport lock from inside the device and fit the open pipe ends with appropriate connecting flanges.
On the standard device, values are read off at the pointer on the aluminium scale. On the KLA GS version, the flow rate is indicated directly by the flap. At the front and rear, the flow meter features in each case a pane of hard glass.
The switches have a bistable characteristic. The following devices are equipped with limit switches: KLA Standard-IK with BI1-HS540-Y1 - 2-Wire, NAMUR KLA Standard-IKS with BI1-HS540-AP6X - 3-Wire, PNP, NO KLA V4A-IK with BI1-HS540-Y1 - 2-Wire, NAMUR KLA V4A-IKS...
Setting the limit switches The KLA is adjusted during factory assembly to the customer-specific switching points. If a new setting is required, the switching point can be changed by moving the pointer vane. The switching function can be reversed by specifying whether the pointer vane first enters or first exits the slot sensor.
7.2.4 Installation of the polycarbonate protective screen After successful adjustment of the limit switches, you must install the polycarbonate screen again. 1. Insert the O-ring into the corresponding groove. 2. Put the polycarbonate screen back in. Make sure that the O-ring does not slip out of its groove.
A linearization is possible at up to 14 points. Furthermore various input and output filters ensure operation in industrial environments. The following devices are equipped with limit an analogue output: KLA Standard-EM with WPG NG100-L KLA-V4A-EM with WPG NG100-L Functional principle...
Before you start maintenance/cleaning, make sure that the medium line is shut off resp. emptied. The KLA can be opened from the back. Undo the fastening screws on the rear cover and take the cover off. Remove any dirt and deposits that may have accumulated in the casing and on the flap.
