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.
5. Operating Principle 5.1 General The new KOBOLD flow meter Type MIK is used for measuring and monitoring smaller and medium-sized flow of conductivity liquids in pipes. The device operates according to the electromagnetic measuring method. According to Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction a voltage is induced in a conductor...
5.3 Deposits Minor deposits on the measuring tube do not compromise the accuracy of measurement in general, as long as their conductivity does not seriously deviate from that of the fluid. In the case of fluids that have a tendency to deposit sediment, the measuring tube should be checked at regular intervals and cleaned if necessary.
6. Mechanical Connection 6.1 Check operating conditions flow rate max. operating pressure max. operating temperature In general, the MIK is subjected to the same loads as the piping into which it is installed. The MIK should therefore be kept away from extreme loads, such as pressure surges with strong, dynamic pipe movements, vibrations in the proximity of centrifugal pumps, high temperature media, flooding etc.

10.5.3 Window point (duo-point) As well as the switching point, it is also to define a " duo " (duo-point), the window point. This must be higher than the switching point. By using the window point and the switching point it is possible to monitor the measurement value in a certain range.
