DWU/DWN 4. Regulated Use Model DWU and DWN instruments are used for monitoring and measuring liquid flows. Only those liquids, that are compatible with the materials of construction, may be measured or monitored. Large measuring errors will result if used with high viscosity media.
DWU / DWN 5. Operating Principle The flow meter/monitor works on the principle of dynamic pressure. The flow medium pushes against a pressure plate (1), which causes the system to swing against a tensioned spring (2). A metal bellows (3) seals the indicator and switch assembly from the flowing liquid.
DWU/DWN 6. Mechanical Connection Before installation Make sure that the actual flow matches the switching range of the device (please see name plate). Be sure that the operating pressure corresponds to the reference pressure specified when placing order. ...
DWU / DWN Mounting methods The instruments can be supplied with the following connection designs: Threaded pipe connection (DWU-1, DWN-1) The pipe is connected directly to the flow monitor. Use only PTFE sealing tape to seal the screw fitting. (do not use hemp). Flange mounting (DWU-2, DWN-2) With flange mounting a flat gasket should be used between the instrument and the customer’s flange.
DWU/DWN 7. Electrical Connection Before proceeding, be sure that the electrical supply lines are de-energized. Standard contact Removing the enclosure to gain access to the four polar connector block. Additionally to the micro-switch a control lamp is installed. This lamp is for optical control of switch status of the micro-switch.
DWU / DWN 9. Maintenance Flow indicators and -monitors are virtually maintenance-free. In case of malfunction, check the pipe system for calcification or other obstruction. To do this, all instruments have to be removed completely from the pipe system; except type DWU, (up to a T-piece diameter of 1") which can be separated from the pipe by removing the four screws on the special flange, and turning the instrument by 90 °...
