1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND LEGAL NOTICES Dear customer, dear user, This operating instruction for volume sensors of the “RS“ series by VSE Volumentechnik GmbH (VSE) contains informa- tion required to properly install and commission the flow meter for the intended purpose. Any installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance and testing may only be carried out by trained and authorized personnel.
2. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE RS FLOW METERS RS flow meters measure the flow rate based on the screw pump Sensor System Explanation principle. A pair of rotors fitted precisely into the housing constitutes The non-contact pick-up system consists of two magneto-resistive the measuring element.
6. GENERAL OPERATING REQUIREMENTS Before assembly or putting into operation (commissioning), check and verify the following properties and aspects of the respective circumstances of your system to ensure operation is trouble-free, safe, and reliable. 1. The Fluid to be Processed ...
7. MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE Before installing the flow meter, you must check whether the max. ope- operating pressure of 450 bar of the flow meter. Make sure to keep in rating pressure of the system does not exceed the max. permissible mind that peak pressures may occur when operating the system.
10. MOUNTING THE FLOW METER The flow meter should be mounted in an easily accessible location so Non return valve that disassembly to clean the measuring elements is easy. Since flow meters operate in any installation position and flow direction, you can mount it anywhere in your system.
12. FLUID FILTERING Heavily contaminated fluids or foreign matter in the fluid can block, da- and solids are prevented from entering the measuring elements, thus mage, and even destroy the flow meter. In these cases, always install a preventing damage to the flow meter. The required filtering depends on sufficiently large filter in front of the flow meter so that foreign particles the size, bearing, and design of the flow meter.

The signals at the channel outputs are ward and backward movements of the liquid column, which is also de- also suppressed at the same time until the internal offset is equalized or the initial position of the rotor measuring unit has been reached again tected by the rotor sensors and converted into proportional electronic pulses or edge sequences.
Important: Only use well-shielded cables for the connection cable, with a wire cross section of ≥ 4 x 0.25 mm². Please make sure that the housing of the round plug is metallic and that it has a connection to the shielding. Important: Please make sure that no extra inductive elements are connected in the power supply of the flow meter, such as contactors, relays, valves etc.
