Instruments description 3 Instruments description The VD 500 is a compact consumption counter for compressed air and gases. Special features: - Optimum accuracy due to compact design - Intgrated Display showing Flow, consuption, velocity and temperature - Input inner tube diameter via display keys - Units free selectable.
The values represent the min. lengths. In case the min. inlet / outlet runs could not be ensured, it must be expected to get increased or significant deviations of the measurement values. VD 500 English V1.07 Seite 7 von 40...
In case the system could not be shut down, means to be set depressurized, there could be used the CS spot drilling collar (Order-No. 0530 1108) and drilling jig (Order-No. 0530 1108) to drill through the ball valve. VD 500 English V1.07 Seite 8 von 40...
Installation Installation of the Sensor 5.4.1 Mounting VD 500 onto the ball valve • Assembly is carried out by inserting the connection thread with gasket. (G1/2“ thread, SW 32) into the ball valve with ½"internal thread. The sensor has be tighten by hand as far as possible and then tighten with stipulated torque of 25-30 Nm.
Location that potentially hold water should be avoided ! • It is recommended to install the VD 500 at an angle of 15 degrees (see picture).This allows condensate or water to drip off in the event that it is present.
Commissioning Commissioning The consumption sensor VD 500 measures the flow velocity (differential pressure principle) in the center of the pipe. Zero Point Adjustment In order to achieve the required measurement accuracy, a zero point adjustment of the sensor must first be carried out at the start of the measurement.
Measuring ranges Measuring ranges The consumption sensor VD 500 is available in 2 different versions: • High Speed–Version max. measuring range of 224.0 m/s • Ultra Speed –Version max. measuring range of 600.0 m/s The sensors are programmed to pipe inner diameter of 53,1 mm.
Measuring ranges The end values refer to application-typical conditions of 7 bara + 50°C. The end values of the consumption sensor VD 500 depend on temperature and pressure and change with changing operating conditions.. 7.1 Maximum Flow ranges „High speed“...
