  • Page 10: Control Elements (Industrial Version Only)

    "Operation", page Product features and functions Principle of operation The T-Easic FTS (Flow Thermal Switch) monitors the flow rate of liquids (e.g. water, aque‐ ous media, oil, etc.). This measurement method is based on the calorimetric principle. The sensor measures the cooling effect of the liquid flowing past the heated measurement probe.
  • Page 11 Due to its high temperature resistance, the T-Easic® is also suitable for use in SIP (Sterilization in place) processes. 8023072.1JQO/2023/06/05 | SICK O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | T-EASIC® FTS...
