  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    ▪ 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.
  • Page 5: Mounting, Start-Up And Operation

    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.
  • Page 6: Product Description

    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.
  • Page 7: Modular Design

    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.

    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...
  • Page 14: Inlet And Outlet Measurement Path

    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.

    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.
