It is available in the nominal widths from DN 50 to DN 300. The instruments are available in the nominal pressure of PN 10 to PN 500. The enclosure is made of stainless steel. The transport of this device is allowed only with the right fixing at the flange (e.g. by lifting eye bolts). Improper transport can lead to irreparable damaging of this measuring instrument.

An electrically conductive medium flows in the tube, where a measuring voltage is produced which is perpendicular to the direction of flow and the magnetic induction. The level of the measuring voltage produced is proportional to the speed of the measuring medium; it does not, however, depend on the conductivity of the medium.

This error message would appear with the following programming (e.g.): • max. flow rate: 200 l/min • pulse unit: 1 Imp/l • pulse length: 1000 ms Since with maximum flow 200 pulses in 60 s would arise, the pulse length might amount to maximally 300 ms (200 x 300 ms = 60 000 ms = 60 s).
