    2). In particular, it is not designed for direct or indirect protection of personal and machinery.  SCHMIDT Technology cannot give any warranty as to its suitability for certain purpose and cannot be held liable for errors contained in these instructions for use or for accidental or sequential damage in connec- tion with the delivery, performance or use of this unit.
  • Page 4: Application Range

    2 Application Range ® The SCHMIDT Flow sensor SS 20.400 (article number: 518210) is de- signed for stationary use in clean rooms, air ducts or air shafts under at- mospheric pressure conditions and clean environmental conditions. The sensor measures flow velocity of the measuring medium as standard velocity (unit: m/s) relative to standard pressure of 1,013.25 hPa and...

Threaded part 532160 Figure 3-1 The screw-in thread of the compression fitting must be sealed, e.g. with a teflon tape. Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow Sensor SS 20.400 Page 6...
  • Page 7 To reach the accuracy specified in its data sheets, the SS 20.400 has to be positioned in a straight conduit and at a place with undisturbed flow profile. An undisturbed flow profile can be achieved if a sufficiently long distance in front of the sensor (run-in distance) and behind the sensor (run-out distance) is held absolutely straight and without disturbances (such as edges, seams, bends, etc.).

  • Page 9 The wall mounting flange (520181) is designed for installation of the sen- sor SS 20.400 as an immersion sensor through a wall (e.g. wall of a flow box). The threaded bush included in the delivery has a base provided with a plane contact surface and two holes which allow a fast and easy instal- lation by means of two screws.

    4 Electrical Connection Plug-in connector The Flow Sensor SS 20.400 is equipped with a plug-in connector which is firmly integrated in the housing. The connector has the following data: Number of connection pins: 7 (plus shield connection on the metallic housing)
  • Page 11 The appropriate protection class III (SELV) respective PELV (EN 50178) has to be considered. Operating voltage The SS 20.400 is protected against a polarity reversal of the operating voltage. It has a nominal operating voltage range of U = 12 ... 26.4 V Only operate sensor in the defined operating voltage range (12 ...

  • Page 15: Signalizing

    5 Signalizing Analog output The following is valid for all output versions of the SS 20.400:  Representation of measuring range: The measuring range of flow velocity (0 … w or |±w |) is N,max N,max mapped in a linear way to the signaling range of the used analog output type (see Table 4).
  • Page 16  Response time (damping of measured values): By default the response time of flow measurement is 1 s. Optionally it could be configured in the range of 0.01 … 10 s by order. Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow Sensor SS 20.400...
  • Page 17 (ordering). By default the middle of the positive measuring range is considered as the threshold value.  Error signaling: Both switching outputs are conducting independent of their configured switching polarity. Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow Sensor SS 20.400 Page 17...
