Medium temperature below -20 °C The analog output for T switches to error (0 V or 2 mA). The analog output for w switches to error (0 V or 2 mA). Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow Sensor SS 20.250 Seite 13...
Even leaving the specified operating temperature range for a short period can cause an irreversible sensor damage. Environmental condition Medium The SS 20.250 is designed for the use in clean to slightly soiled media. Soiling or other gratings on the sensor cause distortions of measurements.
The following table lists possible errors (error images) and a description to detect errors. Furthermore, possible causes and measures to be taken to eliminate errors are listed. Other cleaning fluids on request. Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow Sensor SS 20.250 Seite 15...
