Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit into operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein. The instruction manuals on our website www.kobold.com are always for currently manufactured version of our products. Due to technical changes, the instruction manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you have purchased.
3. Regulation Use The model OVZ is an oval gear, positive displacement flowmeter which can be used to measure and monitor the flowrate of viscous liquid (min. 10 mm²/s to max. 800 mm²/s); (max. viscosity 1000 mm²/s upon request). Only measure clean, non-abrasive liquids with adequate lubricating properties, and against which the materials used in the sensor case are chemically resistant.
4. Operating Principle The OVZ oval wheel meter is a positive- displacement flowmeter. The measuring element comprises two toothed precision oval gearwheels, which are driven by the liquid inlet pressure. As the liquid rotates the gears, a fixed quantity of liquid is transported through the chambers for every turn of the oval-wheel pair.
6. Mechanical Connection Before installation: • Make sure that the actual flow rate corresponds with the measuring range of the meter. • Make sure that the approved maximum operating pressure and operating temperature of the meter are not exceeded. • Remove all transport restraints and ensure that there are no pieces of packaging left in the meter.
7. Electrical Connection 7.1. General Important! Make sure that the voltages in your plant correspond with the voltages on the nameplate. • Make sure that the electrical supply lines are dead. • Meters with connectors: solder the ends of the connection cable according to the wiring diagram in the accompanying portable socket-outlets.
8. Mechanical Operation • To avoid pressure peaks, the flow medium should flow slowly into the meter. Important! Pressure peaks arising from a sudden influx of liquid, caused by solenoid valves, ball valves etc, may seriously damage the meter (water hammer!). Ensure that the sensor is always filled with medium when in the operating state.
9. Technical Information Viscosity range: 10 to 800 mm (option: 1000 mm Ambient temperature: -10 °C to +60 °C Medium temperature: -10 °C to +80 °C Max. pressure: 16 bar Accuracy: ± 2.5 % f. s. Filter mesh size: max. 30 µm Material: combination/case/cover aluminium /PMMA...
10. Maintenance The meter requires no maintenance if the measured medium is not contaminated. Should it be necessary to clean the meter, the case cover can be easily removed to gain access to, and clean, the inside of the case (see Sec. 11. Dismantling / Installation).
11. Dismantling / Installation Dismantling: • Drain piping. • Loosen cover screws and remove cover and O-ring. • Mark the position of the gearwheels relative to one another with a pencil. • Remove the pair of oval gearwheels and clean parts with care; do not scratch the sealing faces.
14. Disposal Note! • Avoid environmental damage caused by media-contaminated parts • Dispose of the device and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner • Comply with applicable national and international disposal regulations an d environmental regulations. Batteries Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a sign consisting of a crossed-out garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg, Li or Pb) of the heavy metal that is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants: 1.
