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.
The user assumes all risk for such usage. The KET consumption sensor is used for continuous flow measurements. The KET consumption sensor is designed and constructed exclusively for the intended purpose described here and may only be used accordingly.
We offer you to take back the instruments of the instruments family KET which you would like to dispose of. Qualified employees from the measurement and control technology branch should only carry out adjustments and calibrations.
6. Operating Principle The newly developed KET combines modern digital interfaces for connection to energy monitoring systems with a small, compact design. The KET is always used when many machines (compressed air consumers) are to be integrated into an energy monitoring network.

12. Status / Error messages 12.1 Status messages On the part of Kobold a regular re-calibration is recommended, see chapter 17. At delivery, the date at which the next recalibration is recommended is internally entered. When this date is reached, a message appears in the display with the status message „CAL“.
The sensor head should be checked regularly for dirt and cleaned if necessary. Should dirt, dust or oil accumulate on the sensor element, a deviation will occur in the measuring value. An annual check is recommended. Should the compressed air be heavily soiled this interval must be shortened. page 30 KET K01/0323...
According to DIN ISO we recommend a calibration interval of one year for the instrument KET. On request and additional payment, calibration-certificates could be issued. The precision here is given and verifiable by the DKD-certified volume flow measuring devices.
