Foreword These Installation and Operating Instructions are applicable to devices of Series STAN-K, hereinafter also referred to as the device. Please follow all instructions and information given for installation, operation, inspection and maintenance. The manual is an integral part of the device and must be kept in a suitable place near the location of use, accessible to the personnel.
In accordance with the law concerning handling of waste (critical waste) and the hazardous materials directive (general duty to protect), we would point out that all flow meters returned to Kirchner und Tochter for repair are required to be free from any and all hazardous substances (alkaline solutions, acids, solvents etc.).
The piston with orifice bore forms the measuring system together with the spring. When the liquid flows through the STAN-K, the piston will change its position. The position is proportional to the volume flow rate. The flow rate to be monitored is preset with the adjustable limit value switch on an externally applied scale.
Installation Work preparatory to installation ● Check the pipe run at the installation site for damage and parts that could interfere with the pipe run. ● Before connecting, clean the pipelines leading to the device by blowing out or flushing. ●...
Installation 5.3.1 Preparation of the screw fitting 1. Apply Teflon tape, thread sealing cord or other sufficient sealing materials to seal the screw-in thread of the pipe fitting. Follow the specifications of the sealant manufacturer! 2. Screw the pipe fitting into the female thread of the device. Counter with a suitable wrench on the device.
Limit value switch In order to realize the basic function of the STAN-K flow monitor, – the monitoring of a flow rate value – it is equipped with a limit value switch. The limit value switch consists of a reed contact (protective gas switch) which is triggered by the magnet integrated in the measuring piston.
Setting the limit value switches Required tools: ● Allen key Hex-head wrench size 2.5mm 1. Loosen the locking screw (hexagon socket 2.5 mm, M3 x 0.5) until the À limit value switch can be shifted. Ã 2. Move the limit value switch until the arrow points to the desired Ã...
Maintenance and cleaning The device is maintenance-free. If contamination impairs the functionality, the unit can be dismantled as follows after removing it from the pipeline. Removal of the flow monitor Attention! Risk of injury! ● Make sure, that the pipeline at the installation site is depressurised and, if possible, drained.
Cleaning bubb ● Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (wire brush, scouring agents, alkalis, acids, etc.). ● The magnets are very hard and brittle. Do not allow them to collide with each other, as this may destroy them. ● Avoid damaging the spring and the plunger by mechanical forces or falling.
Service All devices with defects or deficiencies should be sent directly to our repair department. In the service area of the Kirchner und Tochter homepage (www.kt-flow.de) you will find the declaration of decontamination as download and more information about returns.
