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.
Attention! The flow ranges specified in the table above have been calculated for each pipe diameter based on the known velocity range of the KAL-K. It must be noted that flow in pipes is non- uniform across the pipe cross section, and approaches zero at the pipe wall.
KAL-K 5. Operating Principle The KAL-K Flow Monitor uses the proven thermal dispersion principle and operates as follows. The probe is heated internally to a few degrees above the temperature of the medium into which it extends. The flowing medium removes this heat from the probe.

After connection apply supply voltage according to label on the device and technical data (for tolerances see section Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.. Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.). Check function of electronic (set point LED must flash). Calibrate Flow Monitor (see 10. Commissioning). KAL-K K11/0623 Page 7...
KAL-K 8. Characteristics LED Trend Indicator (1) KAL-K ...24 V The LED trend indicator (8 LEDs) is used to indicate the flow rate (LED, starting left). The adjusted switching point is indicated by a flashing LED. If the flow rate has reached the set point value selected by the user, then the LED is flashing faster.
- and the power supply breaks down the output switch will not be able to switch an "ALARM" anymore. N/C Switch (Not recommendable for safety reasons) DUO-LED Actual value > set point green Actual value < set point Break down power supply KAL-K K11/0623 Page 9...

(“Mechanical Connection”) electrical (“Electrical Connection”) installation of the sensor the KAL-K has to be put into operation as described in this section. Calibration a) Zero flow calibration Stop the flow of the liquid in the piping in which the sensor is installed. It is important that the sensor tip be immersed in the liquid.
After the settings are completed, screw the cover tightly back on the housing 11. Maintenance The unit is virtually maintenance free. Occasional cleaning of the immersed probe may be required if the fluid media is such that it tends to deposit or build. KAL-K K11/0623 Page 11...
