▪ The use of the flow sensor EE741 in any other way than described in this manual bears a safety risk for people and the entire measurement installation and is therefore not allowed.
1.2.3. Mounting, Start-up and Operation The EE741 has been produced under state of the art manufacturing conditions, has been thoroughly tested and has left the factory after fulfilling all safety criteria. The manufacturer has taken all precautions to ensure safe operation of the device.
User Manual EE741 3 Product Description The EE741 flow sensor operates on the thermal mass flow measurement principle and is suitable for measuring the flow of compressed air and gases in pipelines. It can be used for measuring the consumption of compressed air, nitrogen, argon, oxygen, CO and other non-corrosive and non-flammable gases.
Once the gauge mounting block is built into the pipeline, the sensing unit can be installed and removed without disassemby of pipework. As a result, the EE741 is also ideal for temporary measurement at serveral mounting blocks. The sealing plug included in the scope of supply enables the normal operation of the compressed air system when the sensing unit is removed.
EE-PCS Product Configurator Software. Setting the Standard Conditions The standardized volume flow calculation is based on the standard conditions stored in the EE741 sensing unit. The factory setting for the standard conditions complies with DIN 1343: pn = 1013.25 mbar (14.7 psi);...
Window mode Pulse Output (OUT 2) and Consumption Meter The EE741 flow sensor features an integrated meter with pulse output, which totalizes the consumption of compressed air or gas. With the display menu or the EE-PCS Product Configurator Software, the user can set: ▪...
3.2.3. Digital Interface The EE741 is available in three different digital interface versions, with Modbus RTU, M-Bus or IO-Link interface. The Modbus RTU and M-Bus interface parameters can be accessed and changed with the help of the EE-PCS Product Configurator Software.
300 (11.8) 300 (11.8) Display The EE741 features an optional LC display showing the actual measured values and the overall consumption. The complete device setup and configuration can be performed with the control keys and intuitive, self explanatory menu navigation.
The medium and the ambient conditions at the mounting location shall be non-condensing. ▪ In compressed air networks, the EE741 shall be installed after the air dryer. In the absence of a dryer, the EE741 shall be installed after the condensate separator and appropriate filters.
User Manual EE741 Installation Position The suitability of the following mounting positions must be taken into account for mounting the EE741 in the gauge mounting block or in the gauge mounting block with flanges. Mounting Position Vertical Horizontal, sensor upwards...
This can be accomplished by observing a minimum inlet and outlet path length, which depends on both the nature of disturbance and the pipe diameter. This applies to mounting the EE741 in the gauge mounting block as well as in the gauge mounting block with flanges.
User Manual EE741 Installation of the Gauge Mounting Block 4.4. Gauge Mounting Block WARNING The gauge mounting block is symmetrical and can be installed in the pipeline irrespective of the flow direction. ▪ All connections must be properly sealed and checked for tightness.
User Manual EE741 Mounting the Sensing Unit into the Gauge Mounting Block WARNING Depressurize the pipeline before mounting or removing the sensing unit. In case the gauge mounting block has been operated without sensing unit, remove the sealing plug with a WAF 13 spanner.
User Manual EE741 5 Electrical Connection NOTICE Before electrical connections are made, the power supply must be turned off first. If not observed, the electronics can be damaged as a result. Only a qualified electrotechnical engineer may install the device.
User Manual EE741 5.1.1. Switch and Pulse Outputs Internal Circuit Switch and pulse outputs are NOT potential-free and include internal pull-down resistors (Fig. 16). OUT 1 OUT 2 Fig. 16 S witch / pulse output Inline Flow Sensor for Compressed Air and Gases | 18...
The M-Bus (Meter-Bus) is a field bus for recording consumption data. Transmission runs serially on a reverse polarity protected two-wire line. The EE741 flow sensor as M-Bus adress requires a separate supply voltage. There is no prescribed specific topology (line or star) for the wiring. Normal phone cable of type J-Y(St)Y Nx2x0.8 mm can be used.
User Manual EE741 Secondary addressing In addition to primary addressing, the EE741 flow sensor provides the option of secondary addressing. The fields of identification number, manufacturer, version and medium are used together as the secondary address. The exact sequence of the secondary addressing is described in detail in the M-Bus Standard: https://m-bus.com/assets/downloads/MBDOC48.PDF.
